So, why are you here? You don't seem like the, uh, performing type.

[Or the sort to do a whole lot of stage setup. Especially since the carnival brings itself around, and doesn't need to pack up and go.]

[That was like, three years ago or something now, but it is how he ended up here to begin with.]

[She's working a year in exchange for a ride out of a dying world, that was at least maybe worth a year. Plus she's probably going to get to wiggle out of that one, what with the Ringmaster dying and being kidnapped.]

[dontpokethat]

Maybe, but it's... how the Ringmaster ran things back then. If you broke something, hurt an employee... anything that could be said to leave you indebted to the Carnival would be turned into a contract.

Things weren't as dangerous back then, so it was more inconvenient than anything.
