And here I was genuinely interested in seeing a circus show but now I'm glad I didn't go. Looks like your suspicion was right, Charlie.

I really hope this Halloween doesn't turn out to be as crazy as the one I experienced here two years ago. That was not fun. How was it last year, if anyone remembers...?

You mean suspicions that it's the greatest show ever seen?

[majorcrotchgrab]

No. That you're all up to something.

[onahighwire]

Of course we're up to something! We are giving our all to entertain you!

[majorcrotchgrab]

At a price, more than likely.

[manyadenouement]

I can show you a circus show of my own to make up for it. There's no need to worry about all that now.

[majorcrotchgrab]

What does your show include?

[manyadenouement]

Daring acrobatics.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I like the sound of this.

[manyadenouement]

I had a feeling you might.

[majorcrotchgrab]

We've been together for a month and you already know me so well.

[manyadenouement]

I pay attention.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I've noticed.

[manyadenouement]

You like it.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Of course I do.

[majorcrotchgrab]

... But that's beside the point. Do you think the kidnapped people will be alright...?

[manyadenouement]

Mentally or physically?

[majorcrotchgrab]

Both.

[manyadenouement]

Physically they will be just fine. Mentally it will depend on if they care enough to get over it.

[Honestly...he just thinks this whole production is tasteless and could be directed better.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

... I hope they will.

[Raikov's all for picking on people but this circus is ridiculous.]

[manyadenouement]

It's up to them in the end.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[He nods]

I think this October has been the worst so far in the City.

[manyadenouement]

Has it? It's rather tasteless to me.

[majorcrotchgrab]

There was one year I got called a witch and chased around some maze, only to wind up with two angry people.

[manyadenouement]

Pity I couldn't literally fly in and rescue you.

[majorcrotchgrab]

You weren't here yet.

[manyadenouement]

Yet I would have looked fabulous.

[majorcrotchgrab]

[Raikov rolls his eyes and chuckles]

[manyadenouement]

Glad you agree, handsome.

It's the City. I don't trust a damn thing, here. Especially since this time last year, I was a mermaid who had a keen interest in drowning and eating people.

That's... wow. Guess last year was bad then?
