## Plot

The story begins with Gwenyth, a individual with strong fortune-telling abilities, at the tree of Panderia, finding Ringmaster and telling him she's here for the audition. Ringmaster explains that he's confused, considering he hasn't even sent out the advertisements for the carnival yet. She realizes that she came early, and leaves, saying she'll be back soon.

When the time for carnival auditions does come around, Gwenyth and others have gathered. The others include Lilith, an undead clown who's act is making balloon animals, Arioch and Ramonett, weave-sewn who are a distortionist and dancer respectively, and Noir, a stripper, who also comes in with a group of monstrous individuals who are part of his troupe. All of them get accepted as performers, and start preparations for opening night. In the meantime, they all get to know one another, including Gwenyth giving Lilith a weapon "for later" and Ramonett (who she calls "angry bear") a set of maracas. At some point Arioch asks Gwenyth about something in the past, to which Ramonett starts agressively shaking the maracas.

On opening night, Lilith, Arioch, and Ramonett are in the main tent to be part of the main act, and Gwenyth and Noir have their own separate tents with their personal acts before the main one starts. Noir's is specifically for adults only, for obvious reasons, but Gwenyth's is for all. She is getting confused when most of the fey she is giving fortunes to pay in weird items, such as food and trinkets rather than coins. One of her customers happens to be Saffron, and she gives information to them that foreshadows Solar Rails (Solar Rails was already being played but chronologically hadn't happened yet). Once the main act is about to start, Gwenyth and Noir make their ways back to the main tent.

The main event starts but is interrupted by an angry gang of fairies. A fight breaks out, and Noir begins to stop them by seductively posing, effectively stun-locking many of them. Ramonett uses an irresistable dance to shepard some away, Gwenyth starts using her crystal ball as a weapon, Lilith is too scared to fight, and Arioch climbed up the sides of the tent, attacking any of the fairies in the air. Noir approaches the stun-locked leader of the gang, pulling out a dagger, and stabbing them, which turns them into a beast-like creature. Most of the remaining fairies see that and flee, ending the battle.

The group all look around, and see that most of the people they were supposed to entertain have instead fled. There are only two people left, two fairies, and one starts clapping and saying it was a good show. Noir tries to console Lilith, but she's scared of him and Ramonett helps instead. Noir asks Gwenyth if he'll be able to salvage his relationship with her and she says yes. The two fairies both head off, and Gwenyth gets a vision that the kid, Lychee, has a life where he becomes an elf somehow.
