Fluorescence and LED on lions:

Low lighting used in both to bring out visual effects, interferes with the performers ability to see. Footwork is limited - twitching in place for the most part makes for a dull act.   Best to keep to the traditional showcasing for them.


Fluorescence and LED on dragons:

Fluorescence doesn't hamper performers.  Greatly enhances the dragon. With performers 'blacked out', the dance takes on an ethereal air. Truly beautiful.

LED also doesn't hamper.  Has a very dramatic effect, brings out the dragon's 'wild side' . Although impressive, this is better suited for a parade/party atmosphere.  Look into sending a dragon topside.

[Whenever the weather was 'reptile friendly', Luke took Len-Len out on walks in the fresh air and sunshine.  Today's unseasonal beach stroll would have been no different except for what sprouted mushroom-like up from the sand midway between forest line and surf.

Within immediate range of the crossgate, a public barbecue wouldn't look at all out of place.  Some miles away from there, and to where few ventured, it was an odd - no - ridiculous sight.  Made little sense for the curse to plunk such a thing in 'middle of nowhere', thus rendering it impractical.  Far better if the barbeque had been placed in his backyard, at least then it would have seen some use.

Such a waste on the City's part.]

So ridiculously stupid it's cute.

[An office, sleek and elegant in black&white - the sort that would almost make Patrick Bateman green with rage. The almost is that instead of framed Ansel Adams works or something similarly low key, colorful posters for the circus's Day and Night shows line the walls. Care in frame and matting showcase the wonders, but keep them from overpowering the room. The two different decors are in surreal harmony with one another.

Looking uncharacteristically haggard, Luke sits at the desk. He slides the large blotter aside to look at his image reflected in the glossy black surface beneath.

With a visible wince, he quickly puts the blotter back into place.

He bends down a little over to the right; sounds of a drawer opening. Aspirin bottle is brought into view, then returned to the drawer. Up next; green bottle, roughly the size and shape of a unlabeled Heineken. The dark glass color and cork indicate it's wine, not beer.

Using only white gloved fingertips, Luke effortlessly pops the cork free. Doesn't bother with a glass or other niceties, just downs the entire contents.

The change in his appearance is immediate: Alert, focused and refreshed.

Low hiss. Angry green eye fills the screen.

Two days of primarily bad fiction. The widespread lack of talent brought out by that curse was unbelievable. Pity the publishers whose desks were hit by those manuscripts.

In case no one noticed and or knew, today is both All Saints and Day of the Dead. Observances of both good and dearly departed.

Difficult to say if the City's sense of humor was in play or not earlier.

[Luke is in the hotel's lounge. He stands before the fireplace, looking at a sheet of stationary just freed from an envelope clearly addressed to him.

Letter's contents aren't visible to the viewer. Flicker of both annoyance and humor in Luke's face gives no clue, either.]
