[u][b]Phillus Circus[/b][/u]

[i]"Now, I don't think most of the others around here who are stuck like me are fighters. These performers... they're too strong for any one person to take on. Have you seen Abram? He can choke you to death with his fingers. And Bella? Her stare is like a knife to the chest already. I wouldn't dare trying to start something up by myself."[/i]

Aria didn't quite think that she needed to verbally confirm with the others that there was something wrong with the circus anymore. From what Crispin had told them employees were under strict guard and weren't allowed to leave, and a large majority of performers were in the same circumstances he was in. There was no clue about the missing people to be found, however, which was frustrating since that was what they came for. Still, the circus did seem to be in a situation that they couldn't afford to ignore.

What did worry her was that this would be an unofficial quest that wasn't Guild approved, which could serve for trouble if they did end up causing extensive damage and the circus ended up unrelated the the missing peoples case. She heaved a amused sigh- too late now to back down. She did hate to turn down requests for help like this.

They were promptly shoved out of the tent, with Crispin's voice fading behind them. Before they could start to discuss their last plans, two tall and mechanical looking figures strode out, stopping the group in their tracks. Gods, they looked really creepy- and yet they were so [i]cool[/i].

Obviously someone else had the same idea, racing after the figures and for a lack of better words, promptly gushed all over the figures. 

Was that Syed?

Aria blinked, staring at the mage who had popped out of nowhere. Well, at least that means Moira was nearby so they had found two members already. 

They trotted up to him, deciding that since Syed had already caught the attention of the weird costumed people there wouldn't be much point in trying to run. If they were dangerous it would hardly be nice to leave Syed, and if not then meh. 

"Hey Syed! Something came up so we're regrouping earlier than we had decided!" She gave the man a smile, not wanting to be too specific in front of circus members. "Do you know where everyone else is?"
