Outskirts

Ignatius

"A dream? Ah... I see." The large fairy folds her arms over her chest and stares at you. At least, you think she's staring at you at first. After a moment, you feel something lightly thump against your head. A tiny pair of legs appear in front of your face as what you can only assume is that annoying pixie from earlier takes a seat.

You realize that while she looks almost identical, she's dressed a bit differently from the other pixies that are all drifting around the large fairy. Their clothes are blue and look... almost modern, maybe even artificial, while hers are made of stitched-together green leaves.

You also notice that she's the only pixie not wearing boots, and instead has a tiny, golden flower tied around her left ankle. Struggling to get a glimpse without throwing her off, you manage to see another around her right wrist.

When you look at the large fairy again, you can't help be notice the similarities. She's dressed in a flowing, green dress with golden flower patterns embroidered around the edges. She's similarly barefoot, except for a pair of golden anklets in the shape of intertwined flowers, and matching bracelets adorns her wrists.

The large fairy continues to quietly stare at you - or, rather, your passenger - with her arms crossed. While doesn't seem angry, she's clearly not happy. She seems to be waiting for an explanation.

(Oh, right... Move to Unknown Location. Once I make it.)

"That was more fun than I thought it'd be, but I should really be getting back to investigating, especially now that I've got something to go off of. Come to think of it, maybe it's time to give that old book another look in light of all this."

Skim it for anything that stands out as being relevant, then read those parts more closely.

"Figures that the most important part is in some other language. Well, maybe these spells would be useful. Did it really have to be a fireball, though?"
Read up on the spells.

Location: Fairgrounds

You head to the fairgrounds like Celandine asked. When you arrive and mention your name, you're let into the tent immediately. You recognize several of the performers from the celebration Monday night, as well as what appear to be a handful of new recruits. Or... maybe they're just clowns without their makeup or something, who knows. They're split into several groups, running different drills.

You spot Celandine quickly enough. It's not hard, since she's being thrown into the air repeatedly by a pair of strongmen. She floats in midair for an impressive amount of time, performing impressive acrobatic feats before easily transitioning back into the landing. She seems very practiced, you wonder if this drill might be mostly for the sake of the throwers...

When Celandine notices you, her face lights up. She whispers something to the strongmen, and they chuck her in your general direction. She seems to glide over to you, wrapping her arms around your neck and giving you a kiss on the cheek... with her bottom half still floating. "Swaltzy! I'm so glad you came!"

Her black-haired twin - the ringmaster - looks your way from the center of the ring. She narrows her eyes at you.

Celandine doesn't notice. She's beaming brightly - or perhaps mischievously. "So-o-o-o, Swaltzy, you want to join in for a bit? I'd love to give you some lessons to pay you back for the other night. Well, that, and it'd be fun. What d'ya say, hm?"
