[ The feed begins with a black screen as Loyal adjusts the PORTAL. When he's done, he steps back and the image changes to the inside of a circus' tent, where he can be seen throwing knives against a target.  ]

Ladies and gentlemen of Promenade, thank you for your attention! My name is Loyal, ringmaster of this lovely circus, and I have a very

...How would we know what they look like?

Have you seen anyone that looks like they belong in a circus?

[He hasn't been to a circus before, but that's not the point.]

Um, no? But everyone's got weird masks on during the day, anyway.

Then, when you see someone that does, you tell me.

Weird? I think the masks are a lovely touch!

Probably going to have to rustle up some new performers, buddy.

[just_the_grin]

Is that an offer?

...Man, running away to join the circus is a little much, my sister would laugh herself sick.

[Did he totally just think about it anyway? Yeah he did.]

It doesn't count as running away if the circus is in the city!

I haven't seen any circus performers around, but then again this entire place reminds me of a circus during the day. I'll keep an eye out though.

What kind of questions do you have? I'm no expert but I've been here long enough to know a few things.

[just_the_grin]

Really? What a shame! They'd have loved this place.

I have a couple. I just can't figure the monetary system! Also, I heard this thing about masks and not talking. Is there anything else I should know to avoid getting in trouble?

[ So he can go do it. ]

[chickbro]

Oh, I'm sure.

You don't need money here, people just dream up whatever they want. We wear masks during the day and at night we lose our voices but we can talk through our minds. It's really trippy, but whatever works I guess. And yeah...try not to piss off the crazy scientist Genero. He's kind of a raging dick.

[just_the_grin]

Thank you very much, miss!

[ He makes a mental note, 'find more about that guy Genero, make sure to piss him off'. ]

Well, that explains the voices in my head. So... dreaming up stuff. Anyone can do, right?

A circus? That's something new...

Oh, do I have the pleasure of being the first circus in town? Fantastic!
