Dnafeinso I think LupusIntus got sick and I'm suspicious I too am getting sick. I intend to post a "moving right along" type post on Thursday however I was wondering if there was anyone interested in letting me PM them some of the details of what happens next and help move us along should I too fall to some illness. If you are please shoot me a PM.

“Carriages are cursed uncomfortable Miss Mina” said Vol in a teasing voice “You have to bend yourself into all sorts of strange positions. Now Miss Violet, she could keep you company in true style.” He grinned for a moment imagining that scenario. That would be a lovely scene to watch indeed.
He wasn’t too disturbed when Mortimer popped out of the shadows; its not like the man wasn’t everywhere. He was still annoyed though, particularly at being lectured. Hadn’t he done this countless times already.
“Never fear, already packed” said Vol easily, his grin still in place. “You think I want to stay in the gods cursed place any longer? I had once thought a god’s cursed place would be a bit more welcoming.”
He shook his head as Mortimer vanished as rudely as he had arrived. He hadn’t been oblivious to Shadow’s dislike.
“Scolded like school children. How quaint. One of them has a bit of tendre for you Miss Mina. I wonder just what you have been up to?” He smiled slyly. “It matters not to me naturally” He skimmed his own hands up her body, stopping just shy of her breasts before releasing her and grinning. He tipped his hat at her and winked before reaching a hand up, grabbing the edge of his own carriage, swinging himself inside with a graceful jump.
He leaned out of his carriage for a brief moment longer. “For now I shall amuse myself with what could have been. Another time Lovely Mina” he said smiling his charm filled smile.
“Always another time” he said as he settled down to rest. “As it always must be.”
He slept, and when he slept he dreamed. And while the lovely Mina graced his thoughts once or twice, the depths of his dreams were much darker and much more heady and addictive.

Mina I thought I'd let you know I'm at work (all day). I do work 8-10hrs 6 days a week which is why I don't post during my day. I may try to tackle a post on my phone that usually involves much cursing and potentially throwing the phone across the room so likely not. Sorry for the delay.
Vol leaned a head back and laughed. He didn’t mind the flirtation, not one bit. He was careful, however, to keep it only a flirtation. There wasn't the time for one thing. For another he tried to keep his involvements with other members less...just less.
“I’ll admit Miss Mina that men have a certain charm. But I doubt even I could charm Hag into doing something he doesn’t really want to do. You on the other hand my dear” Vol’s smile was all innocence and charm at once “if you purred just right, would have much better shot.”
When he thought about it Vol thought it was entirely possible he wasn’t lying about that. Hag did favor Mina over the other workers. Whether she knew it or not, she could probably influence Hag if she put her mind to it.
“Boredom is such a drag man” he said in a voice that perfectly mimicked a full on beatnik.
He slid gloved hands over her hips and yanked her closer leaving maybe two inches between them before letting her go.
“However” he slipped back to his normal charming voice, leaning in to speak to her as if sharing in a conspiracy. “Somehow I don’t think you suffer over much with that condition on a regular basis. I’ve seen the trail of eager young men lined up outside your tent.” His smile was all innocence. “I doubt you need poor little unassuming me. Even if it could be…Oh whats the word I’m searcing for?” he asked absently leaning back against his carriage.

Vol had secured his own belongings, carefully and precisely, within his carriage. The wolverines were actually tucked in the rafters of his carriage, he had modified them to be lounges for the animals, comfortable and spacious. It’s a good thing though, that he preferred wolverines and not polar bears.
He leaned indolently against his carriage, hating to be cooped up before he had to be. It may be cold out here but at least the air was fresh.
The carnival was in a strange state now. The tourists gone, murdered and devoured, and all that was left were the workers. It lacked a certain jua de vivre. All business, quiet and serious. No enjoyment, no playfulness. Most workers jogged hither and yon, trying to get everything taken care of in the few minutes left before the Carnival would be on the move. Even the colors now were muted, brilliant tents having been packed away leaving everythig cold and gray.
He spied Mina making a leisurely pace towards her own carriage. She, at least, seemed not to be rushing. He tipped his hat at her.
“Best hurry Miss Mina” he said lightly. “Wouldn’t want such a lovely lady to be left behind. Besides, you might find yourself growing bored.” He grinned and winked. “Boredom is such an unpleasant state.”

Brisa found herself abruptly jarred into paying attention to more than her writing. She was shaken in a manner that made her feel a bit like a rag doll. It wasn’t that bad really, but her teeth did clack together.
She looked up into Aruguios’ face and tried not to shy away. He did make her nervous, but in the grand scheme of things most people made her uncomfortable. She was always afraid they were judging her. She was afraid she would have to get over that. Might as well start now. Plus the appearance of Kaya around the corner helped her feel more at ease.
“No” she said, her voice very empty. “I’m not really all right.”
She gestured behind Argurios to indicate what was bothering her, it was plane he hadn’t seen the grisly display yet.
“I’ve never seen writing like that before” she said “so I was trying to copy it down. I’m hoping that some way or some how I can use the writing to figure out who killed them. Some one has to be able to read this gibberish right?”
Autry would get mad at me if I didn’t pay attention just because its too much to look at. She said I had to think clearly at all times, if I couldn’t learn that I’d never be any good at..” She trailed off and shut up. “I gotta learn to focus I guess.”
She snuffled a bit fighting back tears when her eyes were drawn back to Autry it hurt to see her hanging there like that.
“I wish we could get ‘em down and burry them or something. I just aint strong enough myself. Would you help me?”
“We don’t need to dig a grave…we can put them in the butcher’s cellar. Its very cold there and we can lock it from outside. Nothing will get them and they can, I don’t know, rest. It just seems wrong somehow to leave them hanging there.”
“And I should find Dakin and tell him. Dorn was, well I need to tell him.”
She folded up her paper careful not to smudge the writing. Carefully she placed it inside the cover of her spell book and carefully placed the book back in its wrapping back in the bag. Then she stood, squared her shoulders and looked at the other two.
“After we I get that done” she said softly “I’m gonna try and find what did this.”

I don't know about the rest but I'm usually unavailable on the weekend. I'll be posting tonight before bed.
EDIT: ok I lied. its 10:30 and Im sitting in front of the computer fighting exhaustion. I've decided to give up.

Vol shrugged easily. It still looked uncomfortable; he was a creature of comfort all the way.
“Suit yourself. Nice is perhaps not a word I hear used to describe them much, but yes they are. Healthy and strong. It’s been a good day for them. They are in a playful mood. See?”
He gestured at two of them romping around Violet’s tent, under and over everything they could find. Vol winced as he heard something glass break.
“Sorry about that, whatever it was. I’ll make sure to get you another.”
Before he had a chance to say anything further he announcement came over the Shadow-speaker.
“Finally” he said with feeling. “This place is at the ass end of nowhere. I almost feel sorry for those that live here.”
With a mental command he pulled the wolverines back to him, reaching down to pet one absently before sending them off to the cages they traveled in. The abrupt deaths of the people around suddenly flooded the area and nearby souls rushed towards himself and violet.
“Full for today” he muttered shooing the things towards Violet. “Won’t be greedy. Enjoy Miss Violet. I had hoped we would be heading someplace less cold, but instead we seem to be trading dry and cold for wet and cold. Joy.”
With that he turned and headed to tie down a few last loose ends before the carriages took off.
