I enter the Circus Inn for the first time as a member. I walk in trying to recall how I've seen other members enter and draw a blank. I stand dumbly in the middle of the room. "Jax, where do we go to get in?"
Then I remember where the entrance is and make my way down winding through the maze until I find the Lapis Lazuli hoping that Caoimhghin is around.

When I see Kestal, I rise from my seat and clap my hands. "Take a break, everyone! Break time!" I turn from my actors on the stage and all that business and flash a smile at Kestal as I approach him, hands out before me, ready to take his. "What joy! You found your way inside the Revue." My red hair is in pigtails, my skin is all gold, and I have little white angel wings coming out of my back.

I take his hands and press them warmly. "My aren't you a sight?" I laugh lightly. "What's this then?"

"Me? Or the play?"

I laugh again. "I was speaking about you but would happily hear about both. Your plays are such a delight."

I take Kestal arm and stroll a few paces away. "Well, people here think this is all just makeup and props." I give the Haruspex a knowing look, though. These wings are real, and this is the real color of my skin!

I look admiringly at it. "They must all want to know who your propman is. 'So realistic'" I laugh.

"Indeed." I touch the side of my nose. "Just between us, of course!" I stroll over to the caterer's table and gesture expansively to the food and drink laid out. "A refreshment? The Master spares no expense." I blush.

"Oh yes, I think I will indulge." As I grab a few things I say "He does dote on you so."

"I'm the luckiest boy in Kailos!" I, too, take some dainty morsels and a cup of wine. "Good vintage, this." I raise my cup. "Twin Gods!"

"Twin Gods!" I take a sip.
"I hope I don't ruin your mood but I came to talk to you about spirits. Now before you get nervous, none are here except Qadir and I'm not talking about anything dangerous. I just have need of some information and I'm wondering if you could help."

"I keep my ear to the cobblestones, as it were, so I know the word on the streets about many things... but spirits?" I look nervously over my shoulder and take a big gulp of wine to give me courage. "Not sure if I have the information you seek, but shoot! What do you want to know?"

"Dominus, would you care for the Elunian cherries the Master had shipped in specially for the play? This is one of the final rehearsals, so..."
Fiach is the one speaking, for Alwin is performing in this particular production.

I smile at Kestal. "Haruspex, you've arrived in a happy hour. Have you ever enjoyed an Elunian cherry?"
