Investigation 1

Investigation 1

The Cirque de l'Ardeur is always so pleasant. The sky is always bright, the clouds are always fluffy, and there's always a slight breeze that feels invigorating to anybody waking up.

This time there's an important difference -- one that will underscore something is abnormal today. The breeze carries the scent of something burning. It's a strange, strong, and unpleasant scent, and it feels foreboding due to how out of place it is in the otherwise crisp morning. It won't take long to see the smell of burning items isn't the only anomaly today, as there's visible proof in certain areas that something is afoot.

Looking around it doesn't seem either of your hosts is nearby. Going to the ringmaster's tent to ask what's happening will find it once again has that pesky magic that bounces you away if you try to enter. It seems that, if you want answers, you'll have to find them on your own.

Come one, come all! It's time to begin the first performance of your stay in the Cirque de l'Ardeur!

[Since Phil promised Minato that he's going to remember to eat, he'll emerge from his tent and head towards the mess tent to grab some breakfast.

Huh, that sure is an interesting smell this morning...]

[... yeah he's a a bit concerned now. He'll grab a quick bite to eat and then head off towards the ice top.]

[Raven floats over him as he enjoys his breakfast. She's too nervous to eat at the moment.]

...Something bad is happening.

Yes... something feels off. More than just that smell...

[And he doesn't like it one bit.]

[She is.

Does it look like it was melted or just taken away somehow...]

[... that is definitely odd. How many are we talking here-- just a few or a significant number?]
