The Carnival

[thepanda]

Aaron frowned ever so slightly at having his greeting seemingly ingnored by Caitlin.

"Women," he muttered as he gave the carnival a thoughtful look. It was, in a word, rundown. The lack of people save themselves was a big clue that his sister wasn't there.

"Thank god for small miracles," he thought. He made a mental note to check out the gaming stands later.

[acetalon]

Verato blinked.  There was nothing else to do, and the little girl's suggestion was as good as any.  He headed towards the harlequinn and stopped once he was a few feet away.

"What is this?"  He asked the harlequinn quietly.

[Chilord]

Now that Verato was close enough, he could see that despite the cheerful arrangement of paints on his face, the harlequinn wore an expression framed so firmly, that it bored upon grim. Eyes, blue as artic eyes looked down at the  young man from the lean, 6'6" man's eyes as he finally spoke in a measured, cultured tone, "Which this? This building or this place?"

[Dracos]

Raya hopped cheerfully behind Verato.  "Mou, what is this building?"

Fearless Leader

[Chilord]

"This is the hall of mirrors... Where reflections can be seen... reflections of the body, the heart, the mind, and the soul... Reflections that hold true, reflections that are distorted. Each a world onto their own, connected through the mirrors... And all capable of change."

[Dracos]

"Mou..." 'a path of change?'

Raya turned to the others, "Let's go in here first."

Fearless Leader

[DY]

Just now remembering to introduce himself, he nodded to the group of people and said, "The name's Nathan, if anybody wants to know." Looking at the little girl, Nathan wondered if they should follow her suggestion.

Aaron followed behind the child and boy with the oddly colored hair. It was better than standing around, and they seemed to have some clue as to what was going on.

He shrugged after hearing Raya's suggestion.

"Why not? Guess it's as good a place as any to start."

[Shukuen]

"I don't know," Makoto spoke up quietly, "I mean, shouldn't we find out more about the attractions here instead of barging into the first place we see?"

"Uhm, Verato, wasn't it? Can you tell us more about what we can see in this place?"

[acetalon]

"You want to see what is inside the house of mirrors?"  He asked Makoto.

Verato thought about for a moment and nodded.

"Very well, I'll check it out."  

He gazed into the darkness of the doorframe for a minute and stepped through.  

[Chilord]

And Verato walked straight into the door face first, causing the harlequinn to shake his head, "You really should pay attention..."

[CyMage]

"Well, that's one way to find out if something is real." Caitlin said as she approached the standing group.

With that said, she took a look for a handle.

[Chilord]

No handle presented itself as the harlequinn coughed politely, "This is a Carnival you know... ever heard of getting a ticket?"

[Dracos]

Raya looked up at the harlequinn, bright eyes shining.  "How do we get a ticket sir?"

Fearless Leader

[Chilord]

"All ya have to do is ask."
