[shazam_wow]

Oh, no thank you! I really shouldn't take candy from strangers, but that's a lovely costume!

[crouchingmoron]

If you're sure, miss! Though it is Circus candy, so I can promise it's 100% safe. And thank you~~!

[shazam_wow]

Well, I have to be a positive example to others, so it's really nothing personal. I'm sure you're completely reliable! But if someone were to come across someone who wasn't and they assumed it was okay, well, that would be no good at all!

[crouchingmoron]

That's an excellent point! You're a good role model for sure.

[shazam_wow]

Thank you! I do try.

What are you dressed up for?

[crouchingmoron]

The festival! You know, the one Circus is putting on? I'm here to greet people!

[shazam_wow]

Oh! I didn't know about the circus! That will be so much fun! And how exciting that the Camp brought you guys in to entertain us! I just love circuses!

[crouchingmoron]

Lots and lots of fun! But what's Camp, miss, if you don't mind me asking? I thought it was the mayor that called us here.

[shazam_wow]

Why, that's where we are right this moment. It's a summer camp that's not actually just for summer, and I'm afraid I'm not sure there's a mayor at all.

[crouchingmoron]

...that's not right at all... Are you sure, miss? Completely sure?

[shazam_wow]

Absolutely positive. I never lie. Oh, I am so sorry I'm the one who has to tell you this, but evidently people show up here and can't really return to where they're from. But there are so many lovely people here, it's such a good opportunity to learn about others!

[crouchingmoron]

........hang on~~!

[and costume head comes OFF]

[crouchingmoron]

--now, what were you saying about people not returning...?

[shazam_wow]

Well, evidently most people here were, um, kidnapped. And I'm currently looking for this Director person so I can convince her to let everyone go. But until then, I think it's best to make lemonade from lemons!

[crouchingmoron]

Kidnapped? Is the Director the one who did it?

[shazam_wow]

Evidently. I really would try to have it resolved by now but I just can't seem to find her!
