[For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of meeting Loki's smarmy grin face to face, they're greeted with it now, as he broadcasts across the network from what appears to be the outdoor seating area of Starkbucks for anyone familiar.]

Well, I for one am pleased to learn the locals are capable of more than derisive glances, as they are certainly excited about this circus coming to town.

[He doesn't speak for two seconds, and a conversation at a nearby table can be overheard, bits of pieces of someone rambling about a caravan.]

Evidently we can expect exotic animals and other stunning spectacles. Maybe we'll even have a jester, or a magician. Wouldn't that be fun?

[He smirks.]

Who doesn't love a good illusion?

I hate to admit it, but the change from 'death glares for merely existing' to 'growing excitement' at this Sunspot Circus coming to town is a little weird.

Not knocking it, but I haven't had someone try to pick my pocket in a couple days and now I'm not sure what to do with myself.

[ Other than handle her own, she means. Also? She's actually really pleased people seem keen on leaving her alone for now. ]

You seem to be settling in alright.

[morethanatrickster]

Ah, yes, the old "panem et circenses". Distract them with fun until they don't know their asses from their faces, classic misdirection. It's occurred to me. None of us have any idea what's beyond the fog out there, but evidently, there's a place from which a circus can arrive. Hardly suspect.

[He smiles confidently.]

I'm adaptable. And you are as well, it seems.

[hibana_incursa]

"Bread and Circuses." I know the phrase.

[ Don't worry. She's going to be keeping an eye on this Circus as best as she can. ]

This isn't the first universe I've fallen into by accident. It's just the first one that keeps changing at random. Or maybe we just keep falling into different versions of the same place. I can't really tell.

[morethanatrickster]

Given some of the places remain the same, with minor changes, I would assume the latter. Why I've yet to work out is why. It's interesting, though, isn't it?

I don't love a good illusion. Sorry.

[morethanatrickster]

No? And what about a mystery?

[covert_ops]

Can't say I'm much a fan of those, either. I like things to be pretty straightforward.

[morethanatrickster]

So, on one of your various gift-giving holidays, you would rather the presenter inform you ahead of time what they were giving you?

Illusions are for kids.

Mean looks don't bother me, maybe you should get a thicker skin.

[morethanatrickster]

Yes, and are typically harmless. Isn't a circus supposed to be "wholesome family fun" or something like that?

And you could be less serious.

[fangedredemption]

Wouldn't know, never been

Hey, I can be less serious, just a weird conversation

[morethanatrickster]

Then suffice to say most are, and they're utterly droll, which is something of an upgrade from our usual here in Haven.

Weird how?

[While on the one hand, Adam's had enough illusions and magic to last a lifetime, he was also intrigued with the idea of a circus.]

I've never been to a circus before. Though...it is a little odd that they're coming in from...whatever's out there.

[There had to be something out there, right? Sure, they were in a pocket dimension but how big was it exactly?]

At the very least, it'll break up the monotony.

[morethanatrickster]

Isn't it? I wonder if they'd be forthcoming with information if we asked where they'd come from.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Monotony? New dimensions are old hat for you, then?

[forleaving]

Somehow, I doubt it.

[But it could never hurt to ask.]

No, but. All I've done is work lately. [And avoid his housemates, or be avoided by them. Things were complicated.] It'll be nice to have something that isn't work. I'm sure a circus will lift some spirits.

[morethanatrickster]

Surely someone can persuade them.

Yes, let us all go watch others work for a change.

Honestly, I'm just kinda flashing back to every single fieldtrip I've ever been on and and I'm calling it now-it's gonna end in some kind of disaster.

[morethanatrickster]

As it should. I hope someone makes certain of it.

[babyavenger]

Agree to disagree.

Just once I’d like something good not to be immediately followed by something bad.

[makeanentrance]

I doubt it will be all that spectacular. I could do better.

[morethanatrickster]

Ah, then I look forward to your show.

[makeanentrance]

I'm not... planning on one just yet.

[iseegoblins]

I think a lot of people don't love a good illusion. [ Like your brother. ] You seem pretty excited.

[morethanatrickster]

And a lot of people are far too serious.

[Like Loki, when he isn't acting otherwise.]

It's something different, and it's something from beyond the walls, which means we'll be treated to a bit of life beyond a trash heap. Aren't you excited?

[iseegoblins]

Maybe some people just try to hard to not be serious. [ She shrugged in response to his question. ]

I wouldn't say I'm excited but it might be a nice change.
