[ Strange is trying his hardest not to sound suspicious which naturally means this post sounds suspicious as hell. ]

May I ask a favor? If anyone spots a chicken wandering around the carnival or Wismuth, please return said chicken to me. [ pause. ] Or the Ringmaster. Come to think of it, it would probably be better if the chicken was returned to the Ringmaster in the first place.

[ it's after Strange comes down from his high and stops having existential thoughts about the nature of hands that he actually makes this post...which means that there's plenty of time for your character to have run into said chicken. ]

What?

[ Nope, too quiet. ]

[kingsroads]

[ The mumble is slightly louder but still very much a mumble.

:) ]

[atouts]

[ Faerie... w... oh.

Childermass sighs. ]

Really?

[kingsroads]

[ Strange, to his credit, sounds guilty as hell. ]

This raises up more questions though. Even as...indisposed as I was, I shouldn't have been able to cast that spell so easily.

[atouts]

Have you tried any magic on purpose in the city itself? [ Because guess what, he has. ] I've found my own spells come together far easier than I am used to.

[kingsroads]

And the weed's magical in itself. [ well shit. ] And no, I haven't tried any magic. I see now that I should have.

[atouts]

Could be you just should not have smoked magical drugs out in public.

[kingsroads]

If I smoked magical drugs in private, I've a feeling something equally dumb would have happened.

[atouts]

But likely only to you.

[kingsroads]

[ keep thinking that, buddy. this is strange we're talking about ]

Me and anyone who decides to watch over me like I'm a child.

[atouts]

Oh, I wouldn't compare you to a child. Some children are rather sensible.

[ and usually don't cast magic and also don't smoke weed in public parks ]

[kingsroads]

And I'm not?

[ no. he is not. ]

[atouts]

Currently? No.

[kingsroads]

[ that's way harsh, tai ]

I suppose that's warranted.

[atouts]

Just a little. [ Or a lot. ] So where was the last place you saw this chicken of yours?

[kingsroads]

At a park, just outside of where the carnival meets Wismuth.

[ and Strange rattles off an address. ]

[atouts]

Right. I'll see if I can spot anything from the air.

[ And that's that. He'll just go crow around for awhile. ]
