Deep down I must have known, in the back of my mind, that it was wrong (or else I would not have added the parenthetical). I apologize without reservation, it was not clever - it was a thoughtless post and will not be repeated. There is no justification for the post. I am sorry; I am embarrassed =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The torches around the stage burst into flame; then nothing. As the crowd started to get restive, the twins burst onto the stage in a flurry of leaps and flips, bouncing off the wall and each other until they came to a halt with Slick in the harness on Willy's back (NB: the author does not know which is which - Slick/Willy is Slick/Willy). They flipped upside down so that Slick could draw knives and throw them into different targets around the stage while Willy was 'leaping' around the stage on his hands. They separated again with Slick swinging from Willy's braid up onto one of the torches hanging overhead. The show ended with them collecting all their knives in a series of complex gymnastic stunts and Slick back in the harness on Willy's back. This was the last time they appeared in public; rumors hint that they became assassins. It is also rumored that they added a mysterious 'Twitch' to their team. This historian has been warned to be very careful what the historian says about Slick/Willy/Twitch. (the historian can report that the historian is healing and that most of the library has been repaired.) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
