[The video opens on two figures standing outside a circus tent. Grimm is hard to mistake for anyone else, and it should be no surprise to those who know him to see Mike Morton at a circus.]

Greetings to you all, my fellow Moonblessed. We are pleased to announce the opening of the Lacewing Circus as a permanent attraction in Lower Lunatia. We hope that all who have an interest will come to one of our performances, occurring every Saturday and Sunday at five PM.

Ever wanted to see someone defy gravity? Well now you can! Swing on by for acrobatics, trapeze acts, and tightrope walking galore! It’s a scene you wouldn’t want to miss— guaranteed! But don’t just take my word for it. Come see with your own eyes! Just don’t let this momentous occasion pass you by.

[Mike pops up out of the parting bow fast and points at the camera. One last thing:]

…But wait! That’s not all. We’re also taking your applications! So? Don’t be shy. Show us what you’ve got.

It very much is possible. I am something of a god myself.

[ There is no response for a few minutes. You seem to have broken this poor man's mind. ]

That's a lot to take in.

Please, continue to treat me as you would anyone else.

Sure thing.

nah, it's totally not a charade! i'm really bad with that game anyway.

[ It really is... but he's not lying about his charades skill, or lack thereof. ]

oh yeah, it's totally normal for him.

let's see...

he's kinda tall. like totally the dashing type. outgoing. great personality. i think you'll get along with him.

[ Lance, that didn't answer the question at all. ]

If you insist. Then I look forward to seeing your friend demonstrate his skills.

Awww but I'd never split town without at least saying goodbye!

[ Mike isn't one to bring down the mood. But if the rest are even aware that they're gone... 100% they probably assume that they're super dead!!! ]

Hey! Maybe eventually they could just show up here too. Then the problem would be solved, wouldn't it?

Aren't you an absolute riot!
You really know how to market yourself, don't you?
Good thing that you've said it and not me!

[ Mike understands half of what this guy says at any given time. The sarcasm is the easy part! ]

But here you are being more than helpful and I don't even know your name yet!
It looks like Grimm gave me a quick run by introduction but that just won't do.
Mike Morton- Acrobat Extraordinaire! It's a pleasure to meet you Red Text!

[ Unfortunately, no one in that manor would be at fault for thinking that. But let's get our minds off things, shall we? ]

It would, and honestly I hope they manage to show up. As strange as this place is it's far better than what we left behind.

[ He might be projecting himself a little here. Then again, he can't imagine anyone wanting to go back to being constantly hunted for sport. ]

Star-Lord— ! Now that's a title. But I'm sorry to say I've never heard of any galaxy guardians.

and if only we were! But I'm no bug, for starters. No, we're from two entirely separate places with the same level of appreciation for circus acts! But hold on just one moment-! You can't just bring up space and not have it pique my interest. You do mean space-space, don't you? The actual galaxy? No metaphors to be had here?

Woah! Sounds like quite the fella!
In fact, I'd really like to meet him soon. For a chat at least!!
What does his availability look like?

[ That's fine. Because Mike is that kind of extrovert that comes for people (in the friendliest way). ]

Well that all seems very helpful to me! Really!! That sounds really impressive.

[ That last part has really caught Mike's interest for other reasons unrelated to this circus. ]

Do you have to be face to face to do all that?

That's what I like to hear!

[ Mike sends off the coordinates to her ez pz. ]

Right now we've got some prismals helping with some of the left over set up here and there. But you're welcome to swing on by any time you fancy! I'll give you a tour myself.

[ His grin goes lopsided. An all around youthful appearance. ]

Buuut the more attention we grab the bigger it's going to get! That is to say, I'm personally a fan of getting the glitziest big top chroma can afford.

[ NATURALLY. ]

Yeah! That'd be great.
Although some of them would reaaaaally hate it!!
But it's really quite comfortable otherwise.

[ A lot of the people already here hate it. His impish giggling cannot be translated through text. What a loss. ]

[ ... He may not remember who all is here, but he can kind of read the room. ]

Let me guess, some of them wouldn't take kindly to the moonlacing?

Give me a couple minutes, and I'll come up with something.

[the feed pauses on a smiling face and a thumbs up. design isn't her speciality by any means, but she'd like to make a good impression regardless. when she comes back, she sends this file.]

You think this looks good? I definitely feel like this will get interest going! It's mysterious, but not too mysterious. [she thinks it suits the ringmaster himself. just a little spooky-kooky-ookyness, but not too scary!]

Absolutely perfect. The insect designs are the perfect touch.

[bugs represent, am I right]

Consider yourself hired officially.

[glitzy, he says? that's enough to get her raring to go. milly is already all in on this project, and she can see the grand lights, the bright stage, the beautiful performers... it's all right there, but it won't happen if the stands aren't filled. and that's her main focus. get the attention and keep it.]

Then I'll see you soon. I'll be an extra hand to move things too. Just so me being there actually has a purpose. [she laughs lightly, and nods.] Ooh, I can hardly wait to see it in person!

[with that, she ends her feed, and heads straight for the circus, her feet barely getting there fast enough. she's been honest this whole time, truly thrilled to be apart of something like this. look, ma, i'm runnin' away with the carnies! once she's there, no matter how big or small the tent really is, she still smiles at it, and lets out a breathy] Wow! This is the real deal!

Aren't they? I'm awfully fond of insects now, especially butterflies. I thought they'd have, well, lace wings!

[bug solidarity right here]

Really?! Oh, thank you! I promise, your seats will be filled every night! [wait, isn't there something she's missing.] Oh! I'm Milly Ashford, by the way. I should've said something sooner, but I was just so... eager!

Grimm, typically of the Grimm Troupe, at your service.

[He bows to the camera, as is only polite.]

It is a pleasure to meet you. Which name do you prefer to use? Most where I come from only have the one.

Exactly so!
But who knows for sure? I sure don't!
But it's a mean joke that the super shy ones are here already.

[ Mike back at it again "subtweeting" the people he knows for all of the network to see. ]

But you're doing just fine, right, Luca?

Only one? I have... six. Old nobles and their family lines, just kept stacking them on me! [she laughs, and twirls a piece of hair around a finger.] I usually go by just Milly, though, Mr. Grimm. No need for fancy family names with me!

It's so nice to meet you too. So, tell me, is the Lacewing Circus an import from home, or something brand new no one's ever seen before?

It truly is...

[ Oh, he forgot about Victor and that Gravekeeper... Andre, was it? Poor fellow. ]

I'm doing alright so far. A little physical contact a day is practically nothing compared to the sort of economy we have at home.

[ He smiles at that. Someone who doesn't immediately mock is name is always bound to make Peter happy. ]

Thank you! And that's sadly expected. No one seems to have heard of us, which means the rest of my team might not have arrived at the planet.

Nothing brings people closer than similar interests. Hah, yes the actual Galaxy. If you have questions about the big blue space, I can answer the without issue. I've been living up there since I was 8 years old.
