Huck got his knife back with a smile, before sheathing it with the six throwing knives and his one big Bowie knife. He looked about as curious as she was, but was almost weirded out by the blast of wind.
"Huh, I reckon that's why that tent was sealed up . . ." he said in his light twang. He went to go stick his head in anyways, thinking there was something in there . . . .

Senna also peeped her head inside the larger tent seeing that the room was extremely dark to the point of not being able to see.
"You wouldn't happen to have a light would you?"
Senna said as she kept her gaze strait into the darkness of the tent. As she spoke some of the white misty light from outside shown through the top canvas of the tent. the small holes and the light pierced through dust but barely penetrated the dark void that seemed to exist. It faded with the light and soon the air was clean leaving a dimly sun lit room covered in large amounts of dust. It appeared to be a magician's tent at one point in time. Star covered purple fabric draped about, a crystal ball. Even mirrors, boxes and special magicians knives laid about. Covered in dust and mildew from years of not being used.
"This stuff is ancient Huck... Look at this."
She walked around inside as the light appeared and then picked up an old knife made with wood and copper showing it to Huck. Traipsing around she dusted a few children's drawings done with charcoal. Not much for what she could tell since they were smudged, the paper had become brittle, old, and browned.

Huck turned on a flashlight and walked in, eying the area with a look that screamed "woah."
"Wow . . . Most this here stuff looks like it belongs in a museum." he mused aloud, looking in the room, but traded the flashlight for the knife she handed him.
He held it in his hand, looking at it with a look of curiosity. It was a really old knife, but it looked like it was pristine condition, or as pristine gets for being unused for however long it was in there. He was in awe of the things they found in that room.

Senna picked up a hat and blew the dust out of it and placed her hand in the hat. It was definitely a dove or bunny hat but there was no cub holes inside the hat.
"Hey Huck, you think some of this stuff doesn't work anymore... that's why it's here?"
She walked over to him and stopped at a solid gold empty dove cage. It had red velvet on it and everything still despite how antique it looked.

Huck looked around, spotting an old prop wand. Picking it up, he wiped the dust off. "I dunno . . . reckon some of this stuff's salvageable. Hell, it all is . . . but it seems kinda funny t' just leave it all heah." he said, looking around. It was definitely an odd sight, seeing all this stuff just sitting here collecting dust.

"It all looks so expensive too..."
Senna walked over to a jewelry box on a dresser and opened it up. For some reason, many of the jewels looked like something Will would wear. Considering the fancy stuff he seems to wear already, the green of the jewelry matched that of his eyes. The box was labeled "Ellen S." Senna held one hand up to her mouth almost as if regretting being in there and looked back to Huck.
"You don't suppose... we are in Siff's tent do you?"
She had a face that looked as though she was instantly stricken with worry.
Grace followed the trail before, not too far off, she heard the voices of Huck and Senna. She ran further down midway from where she was hopping over the supporting ropes to the tents. She reached the tent they were in by the time Senna stated her last comment about Siff. She flung the door flaps open and glared at them, huffing from the run.
"No. This is not Siff's tent. But I highly advise you leave. Right now."

"Hon, that could be ANYONE with th' letter "S" fer a last name. Could be a Smith." he said with a smile, which faded when he heard huffing.
When Huck heard the other voice, he whirled around, knife drawn almost like it appeared in his hand. The other hand went in his pocket, which (unbeknownst to him) had the pocket-knife in his hand.
When he realized who it was, he spun his knife around and holstered it. "An' while we're at givin' each othah orders, I'd 'vise not sneakin' up on people. You almost gotchaself a case a' ven'ilation." he growled

"There is a reason this tent was sewn shut. There is a reason none of these tents should be entered."
Grace said with a glare. She walked over to Huck and stood face to face with him.
"Did Senna put you up to this? Or are you two out on an adventure to end your lives. This isn't an ordinary Carnival. It's cursed, you could all be very well in danger right now. And we weren't even invited into this tent to begin with."
While Grace was confronting the first target in her path of ranting destruction Senna picked up a silvery ribbon on the table and what appeared to be marbles not too different from her own. The crystal balls were beautiful. She placed a few of them in with hers and then tied the small shimmering ribbon in her hair where it became covered and hidden by the red locks that fluffed from her ponytail.
"No one is using anything in here miss Grace... and we don't mean anything we are just exploring. It's not like there's anywhere else to go."
"It doesn't matter, no one is allowed in this area."
Grace turned her stare to Senna. The air in the room began to feel colder, and much more like they weren't alone. A child ran up her spine.
Senna glared at Grace for a moment.
"Well, then one would expect signs saying 'do not enter' then right?"
She walked towards Grace and Huck when the candles on the tables in the room lit and it became brighter as the lights flickered. Senna froze looking to Huck.
Grace stepped back a moment and then lifted her hand up to gesture a shushing motion with her pointer. "shhh..." She turned and slowly left the room quietly and motioned her hand back at them to follow. In Grace's mind at least, she felt like they are highly unwanted guests by whatever entities were originally trapped in this room. Ghosts. There were many of them here at the Carnival that most have never know.
Senna remained frozen by the chilling effect the room had just put on her. It was weird but she didn't want to leave.

Huck rolled his eyes. Clearly the idea of it being cursed was starting to become annoying to him.
"Siff's an a*****e, and I'd give anythin' to whup his a** int' next week, but I wouldn't call this joint cursed. 'Sides, I came heah on my own free will." he growled, this hillbilly was starting to become a metaphorical bristling dog the more Grace was ranting at him. He refused to act with his knives though. She was still a woman, and he a southern gentleman, despite being a dirt-poor Gypsy Biker.
Huck also seemed interested by the chill in the room, blocking Grace out of his mind so he could figure out what was going on. His parents warned him of "Haints" but was this the real thing?

Masquerade! Paper faces on parade. Masquerade.
_______________________________Hide your face so the world will never find you...Nathaniel Dispite the fact that he had just lain down and her sweet meowing, Nathaniel was motionless. Completely worn out after a day of working, not to mention with no food for over 24 hours, he was completely zonked out and had fallen asleep immediately. At her scratchings at the floor, he rolled to his back and let out a deep sigh, setting Perrine free. Instead he set his other hand on the fur of Ambrose. The bear willingly accepted the gesture and inched closer, guiding Theo to sleep at Nathaniel's feet as he carefully set his huge arm over Nathaniel's stomach. He nuzzled his nose into the boy's hair, sniffing for a minute before limping quietly and falling asleep along with him. ((Well. I missed something. (Tent? Knife? GHOSTS?) And Nathaniel's sleeping. :3 So yep. Night. razz )) Masquerade. Every face a different shade. Masquerade._______________________________
Look around, there's another mask behind you...

gaia_nitemareleft Winter is coming I can't feel the cold, how the path of life unfolds, The twists and turns it makes, and the life it takes... ((And thy shall play Seth, at least for the moment. I know Maho asked but she said there was no reply and that character is getting a bit behind. If you ever take the role of Seth back InXane I'll just have to create my own character then but for now this will be good.))
Seth waited until the others had left to take the parts of his stew he didn't eat into a nearby garbage box. Everyone had left and he was alone again. It was about time he found someone. Although as much as he hated to be around the others in fear of having them get hurt he somehow felt he needed their company now. Grace would just tell him what to do... so no point in trying to find her. Victoria, doing some sort of magic stuff he guessed. Siff would only punish him. All Seth wanted was to tell his friends the truth about this place, but such memories seemed hidden. And when he tried to speak or spoke the words would never come out right and either way he would get in trouble.
"If Siff wasn't such a damn jerk."
He gripped his hands into a fist and then switched to thinking of who he should stay with. He wouldn't stay alone, in his tent. It could be too dangerous for him, especially since Siff seemed to get only more furious with him. Bobby and Harmony came to mind, but most of all he thought of his friend Bobby. Maybe he could cheer him up, or at least he could share company with Bobby, seeing as his parents died.
"Bobby, I could go visit Bobby."
That's it. His closest friend at this point. Forget the adults, they weren't going to help and if nothing was going to get done then the least he could do is spend time with the acrobat.
In the end this message I do send, Is that life is short, though mine is gone, Don't dwell on things of the past and move on~ gaia_nitemareright

Bobby glanced toward the tent opening if for only a brief moment before he looked among the training ropes and nodded. It was never really a good thing to practice in this kind of 'uncertainty'.... it took full faith in one's partners. Of course the little acrobat wasn't going to admit out loud that this was an issue at the moment.
"What next?"
He put effort into sounding more confident about the situation, but honestly how could he be expected to mentally recover from his parents coming back from the dead?

A Great Terrible Beauty ((soo Anyone up to tell me what to make Harmony and Clary...oh and victoria do while I read about 69 pages back to catch up?)) ((I would have Harmony bump into Seth which is now played by Phantom_Nick06 for the time being. Clary could head on over to see Bobby, or something. And Victoria could be, I don't know... meeting Siff in the big top and tell him that ghosts have awoke. I'm sure she would sense that and Siff could do something. Long story short. Siff brought Bobby's parents back to life to get Bobby to stop conversing with Huck and Senna. Huck joined the carnival and has been crushing on senna as much if not more so than she is crushing on him. Senna and Huck plan to find out what's going on there. So went in search of something after making dinner for Bobby and Seth who got caught in the rain. Got caught in some rain after the show catching a cat. The cat is Kira turned into a cat for stealing from Siff's show. And now her name is Perrine, she is Nathaniel's pet. Nathaniel became a kind of aprentice to Grace who is taking care of some of the animals and trying to help make it so that everyone isn't grinding gears with Siff. Currently Siff is waiting for Grace to bring Huck and Senna to the big top from their adventure. Bobby is practicing with his parents in a larger practicing tent for the acrobats. Seth is on his way to the practicing tent. Grace just caught Senna and Huck digging through an old sealed tent and is taking them back with her now. Nathaniel is sleeping with the bears, Perrine the kitten is close by him at this point. ))

((Ghosts? Bobby parents or this a aftermath thing or what?))
-------------------
Clary headed over to Bobby tent,she made to many Turkey Legs and she wasn't going to waste perfectly good food by dumping them into a trash can. "Bobby!!,Wanna eat with me?"She yelled louder than she needed to as she entered the acrobats tent.
-
Harmony looked at the ground bored.Clary had put her to work on cleaning the popcorn popper,which after hard scrubbing in one spot of grunge got done.Harmony looked around,she wonder what everyone else was doing,Seth,Bobby,Clary,and Senna she decided to go look for fun with those guys
-
Ghosts could overpopulate the living population for there more dead than those alive. Victoria thought as she hurried to go to Big-top where she believed Siff is at.
