[ And now for something unrelated to Pokemon, faeries, and even Greysol, delivered in his more or less constant deadpan, as if this news, in particular, is somehow as exciting as watching paint dry. ]

If you are a carnival worker who has been given an extra job under the Acquisitioner, I would highly suggest answering this as soon as you possibly can. Failing that, I will come find you.

[ Definitely not a threat... right? It doesn't sound like one, honestly, but considering he can show up anywhere that has enough shadows in it, well... ]

For the rest of you, and assuming there are some who are new among you, this is John Childermass. I've been promoted from magician to a supervisory role. If you are in need of something being collected for you that the carnival is currently unable to provide, submit a request through your supervisor.

If you are lacking in one, we can work something else out. [ And here, there's a pause. A very, very short one, but one nonetheless. ] Assuming, of course, that you aren't a blatant troublemaker or asking for anything ridiculous.

[ That's all, folks. You are now free to continue on with your day. ]

Maybe you could do a farewell act? [But that's just from Yuya, who happens to love performing.

There's a pause.] Acquisitioner is all about getting things for the carnival, right? Like... uh, stealing?

[atouts]

A farewell act... Perhaps. I don't think the Ringmaster would mind.

[ As for what the Acquisitioner does, well— ]

Whatever it is the carnival needs, yes. Stealing is a part of it, I won't try to pretend otherwise.

[hippocarnival]

[He'd ask why the carnival just can't afford to buy everything but he has a feeling it's less about finances and more about fairy logic.]

Uh, I was just wondering because there's a kid who's a thief and... you can make sure she doesn't do anything dangerous over it, right?

[atouts]

You mean Ms. Akaba?

[ Well, he only has three workers, so it must be. ]

I have no intentions of sending anyone into anything I don't think they can handle on their own or, at least, with backup. If she has a tendency to wander into danger on her own, however, there's only so much I can guarantee.

[ He isn't inclined to babysit anyone besides one Jonathan Strange, unfortunately. ]

[hippocarnival]

I guess that's all I can really ask for. [Hopefully Childermass has reasonable limits for a seven year old. He can't believe he's actually wishing for Reiji to be here.]
