[ As the audio comes on there’s the sound of arguing and pained yelps. ]

Ow! Howard, my ear, watch it please!

It's harder than it looks to operate this beautiful piece of technology with just the one hand, doll.

[ The shuffling continues a moment as he tries to hold onto and poke at the device with one hand, the other unable to stretch out without pulling Pepper over and himself with her. ]

There, that...should do it.

[ Pepper swears under her breath ] Ugh this is mortifying. Okay. I’d help but I’m right handed.

Got it. Right. What was the point again? Oh! We got ourselves a situation here - it's quite fascinating, don't you think? - okay, maybe not that fascinating, but - the point, right. No one should go out alone. Scratch that, everyone should stay in. And keep a weapon handy. That cover everything?

In other words, the circus is abducting more than just its audience members; they’re taking people indiscriminately off of the streets. Please everyone, be careful. Also, someone send help? I should think that message is high on my list of priorities right now.

[ ooc: Pepper’s head is sewn onto Howard’s shoulder. From a distance it looks like they’re sharing a sentimental moment, but really they’re in agony. In some cases more than just the physical kind. ]

Luke and I are gods, our wounds have not begun to heal and they normally would have. I am not sure what would happen to a mortal.

[latenightfondue]

Gods, huh? If you can't heal yourself, I'm thinking healing others probably ain't gonna happen either.

[doeswhathewants]

I've no magic for that sort of thing. Leah does, but the wounds caused by this Circus seem immune to magic.

[latenightfondue]

I guess they had every angle covered, which was wise of 'em, not sure I'm as impressed as I could'a been if I weren't affected by it, but these things happen.

Impressive in an entirely grotesque and terrible way, yes I could see that.
