Tell me, is the Cyclamen Circus a regular affair around here? Or have I discovered something new and uniquely horrifying?

Two somethings, really. Related, if you see a Gestral in a clown mask sniffing at monster feet, try to avoid killing him. He means well.

Usually.

Ah, Gaulish? Where I'm from, you'd get in much trouble for even daring to have the accent.

Personally, I was thinking "Wordsmith" for your codename. Verso, though — a pleasure to meet you, even in such strange circumstances.

[notthislife]

Well, I always have been a bit of a troublemaker.

Likewise, where I'm from being a "wordsmith" is liable to get you killed, depending on whose side you're on. How about... "Virtuoso?"

Ah, but. Likewise, Passenger.

Terrifyingly close to a woman I vaguely know who goes by "Virtuosa". Do you also use music to unlock the "true emotions" of a person and lead them to a state akin to madness?

[notthislife]

... No? But now I rather wish I do.
I'm just fond of music, is all. I prefer it over most other... art forms.

Then, despite this place's quirks and dangers, you may come to like the residents. We have a number of musicians here. Not I, but others much younger.

[notthislife]

Younger, huh? I'm sure they'll love putting an old man in his place.
