Iro and Shikuru Vs. Midara Stage Magician

Irene struck a seductive pose for Iro to paint as the audience showered Shiruku in pets and attention. A chorus of ohhs and ahhs and "aren't you just the cutest thing" coming from the stands.

Shiruku was enjoying the attention, but if any comment was towards Iro, it would of fallen on deaf ears as she focused solely on Irene and her painting.

Irene waited patiently, patiently waiting for Iro to finish her masterpiece. The artists spent most of their time showing Shiruku their attention, only a few seemed engrossed by watching Iro at work.

After a little while, Iro finished up the portrait and displayed it next to Irene, showing how closely it resembled her.

"It looks great." The magician said approvingly.

“Thank you,” Iro said, beaming, “You want to see what it can do?”

"Sure. With everything else I've seen you do with paint I'm sure this is no less spectacular." She replied.

After pushing a little magic into it, an exact replica of Irene appeared out of it. “What do you think of that? It can replicate a majority of your trick as well, it’s just a lot less durable than you.”

"It's like having a twin sister.* The magician joked. "Which tricks can it replicate?" She asked curiously.

“It can copy most non-situational tricks, but not things like pulling a bunny girl out of a hat,” Iro says.

"So this means you two get to have fun with me whenever you want. Clever." The magician replied, giving Iro a suggestive wink.

“I-I wasn’t planning on using it for that,” Iro stammered, “You almost saw this in our sparring when you hypnotized us, but I’m kinda useless in a fight up close, so I need either Shiruku or a summon to keep my opponent away.”

"And now that you have her she can hypnotize you whenever you want. Good for you." Irene congratulated.

“I-I’m not gonna use it like that,” Iro stammered, clearly getting flustered by the continued assertion of her using the portrait for personal pleasure.

"Why no" Irene asked in confusion. "Did you not have fun during out duel." She asked, sounding a bit sad.

“I-I did have fun, and am somewhat disappointed you didn’t finish applying the makeup to me,” Iro admits, “But it is just, I’m from a long line of summoner and beast tamer, which I kinda do with my paintings, so it is kinda a taboo to allow a summon to do that to me, which I can’t really afford to break since the family already dislikes my style.”

"Ok. I guess I'll just have to blow your mind to compensate." She said matter of factly.

“If this is gonna make me go brain dead for a bit, can you promise to make sure Shiruku doesn’t wander off, it seems like she is enjoying the petting right now, but she tends to seek for action when bored,” Iro says, prepping for what was to come.

"Oh. I couldn't possible exclude Shiruku. Not when the two of you where so helpful." She said. "We'll wait for to finish and head to my trailer."

After a while, Shiruku left the audience and joined them. “That was fun, now what?” She immediately asked. “She says she has a prize for us for being so helpful.” Iro tells her.

"If you two would follow me to my trailer for some fun." Irene told them. Leading them away with a self-satisfied swagger in her every step.

“What kind of fun are we speaking of?” Shiruku eagerly asked as they followed her.

"Depends what kind of fun you want." The magician said off handedly. Allowing the two entrance into her rather spacious trailer. It had a large bed, closet and a small kitchen. Irene began to pull out her makeup kits as she gave the two a second to look around.

Shiruku quickly pounced onto the bed and sprawled out on it. “Are you gonna give us makeovers? Is it at least magic makeup?” Shiruku asked.

"Well Iro said she wanted me to finish applying her make up. For you I have more petting and this." The magician said as she pulled out her pendulum.
