Valeria Valeria felt a bit confused. He didn't want to be alone but when Conrad appeared, Alek tried to shew him off. He was still as rude to Conrad as always but maybe that was actually a good sign. She looked at Conrad inquisitively. What did he mean 'finish our discussion'? "Please excuse Alek, Conrad. He's been through a lot the past 24 hours so I don't really think he's up for much conversation." |

Conrad the Clown Conrad giggled. "My dear Georges, we are going to have this talk. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin." He leaned forwards over the backrest of the chair. "Isn't it funny, Alek?" He said, actually switching over to his name. "All it takes, all it takes to change everything you know, completely destroying the order of your life- is one bad day. Look at dear old Charlie. But you've had another bad day before, haven't you? When they killed your mother? When they ran her over with a carriage? When her bones were crushed like twigs underfoot and her blood vessels burst?" "I had one of those bad days myself. I'm not sure what it was anymore, it's like everytime I remember it it's different. Still, what's wrong with having a multiple choice past, hee hee hee? I can't remember! Did my pregnant wife get killed? Did my dad cut up my face? Did I runaway from home? Did I get dropped into acid? What was it? No idea! But after that bad day- I realised. I realised that life is just one sad bleak joke. It drove me crazy! And I- LAUGHED!" "Realise it, Alek. Accept it. There's no point to leading your life with order. All of the best plans get foiled. There's no point clinging to something as stupid as sanity when it's so weak and fragile itself. Any other response would just be CRAZY! Everything you value and struggle for is meaningless because of this joke! You're not unintelligent! Can't you see the funny side? You see, I'm just ahead of everyone else. This isn't insanity. I like to call it super-sanity." "Hey, here's something. Who could've killed Charles? It happened between the time you left and came back to the trailer, right? Why did you leave him? Because of your brother! Why would anyone kill him? To get to you? Like your brother? So who killed him? Not your brother if he was there with you! Who else? The same man who was in the carriage that ran your mother over? Your father?! Is hanging around here gonna do anything to make him pay? ARE YOU GONNA LET THOSE SCHEMERS CARRY OUT THEIR PLANS FOR YOU?" Conrad took a break, slowly breathing to calm himself down. "So what this boils down to, Alek, is you've got to realise this. Your father? The Glass Court? That huge force of lawfullness and order? You can do it. Upset it. Turn it into chaos. And you know what chaos says about nobles like your father? They shouldn't exist. They shouldn't be noble. They shouldn't be trying to harm you for having a commoner mum, because everyone's common. They shouldn't have killed Charlie or your mum. So do you really want laws and plans and schemes and order, when all it's done is hurt you? But chaos- chaos is fair. It's chaos that would've stopped your bad days from ever happening. It's chaos that will avenge them." "So, Alek. Get the joke?" |

Laverna The news was flying all over the circus. "Did you hear?" "Charles is dead!' "Who would have done it?!" "Charles was so nice!" "I can't believe it!" "Poor Alek" "I wonder how he's taking it?" "Poor kid, Charles was so important to him."... Laverna shook with anger. She only thought of one word. Who. Who? Who?! WHO?!? Who killed Charles!? She inhaled, exhaled. This circus was her family. Whoever killed Charles was going to pay. She knew Alek was angry, but he was probably still shocked. He probably won't move until it's too late. She stood up, and exhaled again, calming herself. She walked out of her tent at a brisk pace, heading towards the C&P House. She saw Piren and Zane, and marched in there. "Piren, have you figured out who did it? Was it the Glass Court?" She asked.

Camille The sound of the door creaking open got her up. "Eh?" She yelled at nobody, shaking her head, and rubbing her eyes open. She saw the door of the C&P house close. Her first thought was that Charles had returned home. Charles! He's dead... Only a few moments could have passed, because Zane was still inside gathering her things, so she got up to see who was there. Entering the C&P house for the second time, she saw Laverna marching over to Piren and Zane. I wonder how I could have missed them earlier? she thought, but they were in a dark corner, and she had other things on her mind, The real question is how they didn't notice me... She could only make a small noise come out of her throat. "Who did this?" When no one heard her she got angry. No one ever noticed her. Not one. Rickett was the only one who seemed to care about the little useless tailor who Alek essentially ignores. Tears welled up in her eyes. She stamped her foot on the ground. But I've got to stay calm; now is not the time to throw a fit. |

Megumi Megumi sighed. She wasn't going to force the boy to smile but she could always try to cheer him up. She petted the little boy and gave him a quick hug. "I want to play with the animals too. Think you can protect me if 'Ceres' gets angry?" She smiled nonetheless, hoping that smiles could be contagious. |

Rickett She's taking some time... Rickett thought. Then, a loud scream echoed through the space. He dashed to the other space, and one colour filled his entire eyesight: Red. Then, the colours separated, and he made out the shape of Charles, and not much else but red. He backed out of the room, realizing, this wasn't where he was supposed to be. Well, Camille had been there, but she was part of C&P. So....Charles is dead. Yeah. Dead..... So, there was a dead guy in there. A body. Lifeless. Charles was no longer here. Well, his body was, but not the person he knew. Someone had killed Charles. Or maybe, Charles had killed himself. No, no, Charles wouldn't do that....would he? God, no Charles is.........dead. After these few, empty, thoughts passed through Rickett's head, his mind was blank. Even thought he hadn't thought of it at the moment, he would later realize, this was a bit similar to Tatwu's death. ((this is what happens when I leave for two days, and am "WTF" to everything that's happened for the last few pages)) |

Camille As soon as he heard Rickett enter, she wished she hadn't summoned him. She spun around. A funny thought crossed her mind, then. She wanted Rickett here, yet she did not. "Rickett," she rolled the sound around her tounge, "brother... my... Charles..." "He's really gone, isn't he?" |

Rickett In his own mind, Rickett heard a snap. And with that snap, he snapped out of his trance. He was the people around him. He saw Camille's mouth moving, but didn't recognize any words. Oh yeah. That's right, Camille's here. He thought, half-mindedly. Then, he came into realization. Oh, damn! Camille's here. How old was she... He had celebrated her birthday two years ago at about this time, so she was going to be turning twelve soon, right? And, well, she worked in C&P, this must be a blow on her. She's like, a little girl who just lost her uncle. Then, another snap in his head. We're in the room right now! Charles' dead body is in here right now! "Camille, c'mon. Let's leave the adults to.....what they do. Kid's shouldn't be involved in these matters." He looked her in the eye. Oh, God, she's about to cry. A twelve year old girl is about to cry in front of me. He shivered. "It's all gonna be okay. They're going to catch the bastard that killed him. So, let's go, alright. Um....yeah. Let's go." He said awkwardly....but he didn't really care. ((in case anyone didn't get it (blight), in my last post, Rickett was sorta in shock. No, he was not fine.))

Galen Galen sat up in bed and yawned. The news of Charles' death was everywhere. It was spread through not-so-hushed whispers. While Charles' death didn't affect him too much, he still felt that hollow, numb feeling of death. Galen sighed. Lav will definitely seek revenge. He thought. He contemplated whether he should go and stop her from annoying the ring master, help her seek revenge, or just not do anything about his partner and watch. He settled with the third option. Galen yawned again, and swung his legs over his bed. "Might as well do something." He said. "If Piren caught me sleeping in, Good knows how angry she'd be!" and with the thought of Piren yelling at him, Galen left his tent. He made sure to stay well away from the C&P House,nonot wanting to get involved with the murder of Charles. After a few minutes of wandering around the big top, he gave up on his plan of staying out of the drama. He turned on his heel and headed back to the C&P House where Laverna was almost interrogating Piren. |

Camille "No." Camille wiped her eyes with her fists. She knew better than this. "They won't." "They won't find the murderer, because they can't. They never can." They could. They could. Why am I saying this? What am I doing? I don't like being angry... Why can't I say it? Why is brother Rickett... Why is Rickett acting like this? "I don't want to sit around like this after Charles was killed." I do. I do. I want to sit and mourn like some other person. I want to make you beautiful to get my mind off of it. I want... I want... WHY DON'T I KNOW WHAT I WANT? She looked at Rickett's pitiful face; somehow, it made her angry. "No, not this time." she snapped, adding, "Where's Alek? I need to speak with... my new... master?" She ended on a note of confusion. No, I don't know what I want, do I. I'm too selfish. All I can think of is what I want. What I want when my master just died. My master... is Alek. And he is not dead. |
