]8th Night[

[otokoyooni]

[Takers slowly come to life, the low rumble of their footsteps a constant threat. Sadly, there is no amusement park to make it feel a little less ominous - just the wrecked and abandoned buildings everywhere.]

[The city seems less twisted tonight, and you may realize there are some roads that lead straight, right toward the middle of the city. It

[She's wandering the streets, slightly disoriented, but not worried. She'll find someone soon, right? Nothing will happen to her... Right?]

[veeno]

[Depends on what you'd consider someone, or something happening, of course]

[Claire wasn't visible except for the flickering lights on his eyes that seemed to appear suddenly]

[magic_sidekick]

[Trucy feels a shiver down her spine and can almost see something watching her.]

Hello? Is anyone there?

[veeno]

[Watches her for just a moment, letting it sink in that there was something there, before stepping out into a little bit better light, a single hand raised.]

Calling me?

[magic_sidekick]

Guess so.

[She sighs in relief.]

I've never seen you around here before...

[veeno]

Well now, that's cuz I'm new in town, you know.

[He takes a few steps closer, casually stuffing his hands in his pockets.]

Just rode in this mornin'. Quit the night life here, or so I've heard.

[magic_sidekick]

Ah, well then, it's nice to meet you.

My name is Trucy Wright, Magician Extraordinaire.

[Trucy Twirl~]

What's yours?

[veeno]

Oh, a magician, huh?

[skirts around the question, thinking about how to answer it.. there's probably no record of Claire Stanfield being dead here...]

Know any good ghost stories?

[magic_sidekick]

Yes~ I've got my own show and everything.

Nope, I don't like those much, to be honest.

[veeno]

Really? That's too bad... I could have told you a really great one just then.

[magic_sidekick]

Is this really the appropriate time for one of those?

[veeno]

Ahh.. I suppose not everybody likes those things.

[veeno]

I'm Claire, nice to meet you.

Now, ah.. Did something happen here?

[magic_sidekick]

Not when there are things in the shadows trying to get us...

It's nice to meet you Claire!

Depends on what you're asking about specifically.

[veeno]

[So very nonplussed at the mention of things in the shadows.]

..For starters, this town's a mess.

[magic_sidekick]

[D:]

Can't tell you what happened, though I bet the Takers have something to do with it.
