[Action A - 458 Stone Street, Morning]

[Dakki hadn't been sleeping, not since she had lost her friends to the fun house. CASTs could go without for quite a while. Perhaps it wasn't unusual. But what was worth staying awake for in a town with the sleepy sort of evenings that Mayfield brought? Guilt. Guilt was worth staying up for.

She was on her third cup of tea as the day dawned and the milk was delivered. She was busy dumping that milk down the sink, same as every other morning, when she was sure that she heard something else on the doorstep. Out she went, taking the milk bottles with her... and there it was, a box with her name on it. A box. And a fair-sized one, too. Down went the bottles. Up into the arms went the delivery. And in to the living room she went to open it up.]

Ohh...

[Her Deathmakers. Two beautiful A-Rank twin handguns. Her loyal partners through so many battles. She picked them up, one for each hand, pleased to feel their weight in her hands once again.]

...where were you before?

[But what good would they have done, really? What use were weapons against this town's tricks and traps? Why couldn't the problem be something that she could just shoot?]

[Action B - 458 Stone Street, Afternoon and later]

[She ought to have gone somewhere for some target practice. She ought to have gone to the fair to empty her firearm's reactors into that wretched fun house. But somehow, she didn't feel that any of that was in her. Or that any of it was at all useful. So she was on the front porch of the house, shaded safely from the sun, with her yarn and her knitting needles. Not a lot of knitting was happening, though. She'd complete a few rows here and there... but mostly she'd stare of into the distance. Occasionally, she'd sigh.]

[Phone, Evening]

It's probably far too late to give the warning now... don't explore the fun house. Don't go into it. I've heard the other calls go out... if people are missing? They probably went in and didn't come out. I've lost two friends so far. Please... please. Don't go in there if you don't have to.

[A. Carnival Fun House]

[Glass crunched under her boots as she searched around, frowning as Ako panned a old style flash light around. Evidence of people coming in and out, some not coming in and some not going out. And it seemed like this was the epicentre of everything.

Frowning to herself, she looked over at Dodori and Tiri.]

Find anything?

Nothing yet, dodo.

Haven't seen anything since we were last in here, titi.

[Frowning, Ako exited, rubbing her chin. A lot of people weren't around anymore. This could get really ugly soon, if it hadn't already.]

[B. Around Town]

[Ako had went for a jog to clear her head. Seemed like everyone was in a frenzy over lost family and such. She wasn't too worried, but she knew this place got really bad at times. Sometimes one needed to run for a while until she couldn't run anymore.]

[C. Nightime]

[Black Cure Muse was out and about, lurking on rooftops and making her way across them silently. She wanted to get a birds eye view of the Carnival which was still ostentatiously lit up at this point in time. All of these people searching for loved ones didn't bother her. Kind of.]
