Melted reflections: Soul of the show

[ReubanBrightwood]

The Two mages stride from the battlefield display into the torchlight night of carnival sound, food scents and crowds of people the supernal atmosphere a Smokey obscuring haze and the crowds a buzz with laughter, a spooky stories. They search for the ring master, the one who sets up, oversees and sells the show, surely such a one must know there is more then mere stories to his attractions.

Both can make perception checks to look around trying to locate the strangely absent figure that dominated so early in the night.

[Skye]

The smokeyness as off putting as ever, annoying her with a slight interest, wondering if that somehow were the cause of the hallucinations. Or well rather the medium through which it affected everyone, both them and others alike. It would certainly explain a lot of things, still there were just to many people around to truly look into such things but maybe.

Keeping her eyes open, after seeing that Morgan evidently did not want to check in anything more at this tent, hoping she was glad to get a better glimpse at the effect around the wax figures for herself. Still ready to wait should she want to check something more.

About to head off, the words of an illusion still ringing within her memory, not her domain at least not in traditional senses. Her eyes on the prowl, seeking everything but keep finding herself drawn back to the smoke to often to keep track of the people.

After a little bit getting increasingly curious as she begins to trail the smokeyness with her eyes, to find it´s best venue of sources, wanting to find a place where she could take a closer look at it, to determine if that might indeed be a part of what is affecting them all, or just a place to step to the side for a bit without having people around them that would get in the way as she would focus her senses to try and look deeper upon it.
”Morgan this smoke, did it always look like this, or did it feel like it changed after we met and started to look around together?” Hoping the hidden message would be delivered if not oh well thats why they were operating as a tandem team.

Witch gave a small shrug, but didn't glance at Skye, preoccupied with scanning the area.

"I didn't see it until we met up so I don't know what it was like when it was just the two of you."

Speaking of, she wondered where their third mage was exactly. He had been gone some time now. Hopefully it was just a long line somewhere and not something more sinister.

You would think a guy dressed up as a ringmaster would be easy to find.

[Asclepius]

Finally the front of the line, so many people here tonight so It's not really a surprise. Paying for a bottle of water, he turned around to make his way to the somewhat safe position beside his allies. Now where did they get to.... Bagging his water and making his way through the crowd to the tent entrances, looking into each and giving a quick glance looking for any of the signs of them inside. The smokey environment that seemed to flow into the main area making this very difficult to see much going on. He tries to look across the crowd, as they move across his vision like a swarm of locusts, for either his Friends or something that might lead himself to them.

Asclepius can make manage to make out his companion Skye and it seems another has joined her, neither have taken great pains to conceal themselves beyond the rudimentary efforts to be part of the crowd.

Skye is having a hard time, perhaps what she had just witnessed still unsettling her, perhaps the environment and throng of people have her out of element but she is unable to locate the mysterious figure of the ring master.

Witch does not spot this person in the immediate area but as she looks around and takes in what is to be seen she does spot a few other works in similar spooky themed clown make up taking break form their stalls and attractions heading towards a ring of tents and caravans set up a ways away from the attractions themselves, the apparent living quarters of the traveling group.
