"Oh I see...When I first came here there was this one card stand I always went to.This one women use to do card tricks and I would sit there and watch her for hours.One night I went to her stand and she gave me a deck of cards and said,"Not everthing is how it appears...You can make what you see real or just an illusion...Don't be the butterfly that gets trapped in the spiders web..."I didn't know what she meant all I could ask was,"Whats happens to the butterfly?"She told me,"Thats for you to decide."The next day I went to her stand and she was gone.After words her stand disappeared all together..."Seth said sadly as he looked down.

Bobby looked away for a moment. He placed a hand on Seth's shoulder and shook his head just a little.
"...let's show her more of the stands."

"I have worked in Carnival's for years."
Senna said with a slight smile.
"I am used to having Cotton candy a lot. Anyway is there a place we can find real food here?"
She asked politely. Senna stared at the two small boys showing her around... well small for her.

"Yeah, on the other side of the big top."
Bobby pointed at the giant tent.
"There are some tents along the back sidewall."
The young acrobat was hungry himself, and just thinking about it made him start off for the main tent.

"Nice..."
Senna said, her voice indicated that she was indeed hungry. One full day of being there and she had nothing to eat, that and the day before when she was traveling there. She looked around at the abandoned looking mess of a carnival. When Senna first arrived it looked spectacular but as soon as she joined, it seems, the place fell apart almost literally.
"Bobby... while we walk there, to get food that is, can I ask you how many other people actually work at this carnival?"

"Um, well Seth's an illusionist-"
Bobby pointed to his friend that walked next to him.
"You met Harmony, and Grace, Clary.... Madame Yvaine is a gypsy in a tent that way."
The boy pointed down a few rows of stands and tents.
"Um..."
If he wasn't careful, he'd probably get in trouble again. One of the weird things about the carnival was that not many people actually worked there....

"Okay... so how many... like number wise, of people, do we have to work in the shows?"
She asked curiously. Senna felt a little bit of hesitance in Bobby's voice, as if he was afraid he was going to get scolded for talking. She thought it over for a moment but was pretty sure that she wasn't breaking any rules that Siff told her about.

"Um... ten... eleven performers?"
Bobby stopped. That's how it usually was... and the audience always saw the carnival for more than what it was, like they were seeing illusions... and the acrobat could tell he never really saw what the audience saw. The visitors themselves seemed... 'faded'... like they were ghosts walking by.

"Theirs seven of us but if you count Mr.Siff that makes eight..."Seth said in a low voice but not to low because he wanted the others to hear him.He knew that bobby was uneasy talking about this subject but Senna had the right to know.

Bobby looked down.
"Oh, right..."
He kept quiet after that point.

"Hey... Vickie right?"
Senna said to the girl running up to them. She turned her attention back to the boys, questions still going through her mind. "As long as I don't ask about the realities of this carnival, or whatever I'm good right?" She thought to herself quietly.
"So... how does the circus run with such a low amount of staff? I know I probably shouldn't mention the strange happenings around here... at least that's what Will told me. I noticed when I first came here this place was, well, to say the least, magnificent looking. Then when I entered I really never noticed the time that vision shifted but now the place seems run down... not that it's a bad place just that it's not what it first seemed."

"It's... the carnival. Visitors always see more than what we see."
As Bobby talked, he kept his sights to the ground infront of them as they walked. The drew closer to the big top.

"Ah... I guess if we want to see this place the way they do we will have to fix the carnival up a bit huh..."
Senna said looking towards them. They had all this time between shows and finding a way to leave; why not fix the place up? It would not only kill some time but it would make this place more bearable and might even make Will happy.
