Enter the circus.

[B gal]

May, Yagi, Faith and Dementia ran up to the entrance of Ghost town, panting(except for Faith, who's a robot).

"Man, that Oni sure knows how to threaten people," May said, a bit winded. She knew about her promise, but life-threatening circumstances were different.

"At least it can't get any worse," Dementia added, and sighed.

It was appropriate for Dementia that the place they looked for sanctuary was a ghost town. She looked like something out of a horror film. She was very tall and lanky, her ears were pointed, her eyes were blood red and similar to a vampire, one foot long claws on her fingers and sharp small claws on her toes, her skin was very pale, almost as blank as a white sheet, and a fang was out of her mouth.

Then a flier blew in the wind, hitting May in the face.

"OH DEAR GOD, I'M BLIND!!!!!!!"

Faith face-palmed, then took the flier off May's face.

"What dimension did you come from, idiot's ville?"

May death glared Faith. The four girls looked silently at the poster.

It was in a very old, worn out, rustic style. Like it came out centuries ago. On the text it read;

COME TO THE CIRCUS OF HORROR AND FANTASY

BRINGING JOY AND HAPPINESS SINCE THE 1850S

Faith looked at it in a questioning manner. Then, the group started to noticed that all the fliers flying around, going around all the parts of the island. All except one.

All the fliers seem to be coming from a very simplistic looking circus, though one can't shake off the eeireness of the place.

Faith, being completely emotionless, looked on in question.

"Where the hell did this circus come from?" Faith asked in a deadpan matter.

Dementia could only shrugged, as she watched the fliers passed by her.

Meanwhile, on another street in the deserted town, a teenage girl was walking down the street. She would be pretty hard to miss with all the colorful clothes she was wearing.

What the heck is this place? She thought.

"Hello?" She called out. "Is anyone here? He..."

She was cut off when something hit her. She quickly pulled it off of her face and saw what it was. It was a flyer for some kind of circus nearby.

"This place is so empty. Is this circus even still around?" She said to herself, looking at the flyer as she walked over into a different street.

[B gal]

As if said circus heard what the girl said, another flyer went towards her. On it, it said;

Yes, we are still around. In fact, we just arrived.

Since the mistress wanted to do some exploring around these parts, we're just closed for the moment.

Meanwhile, May looked on a bit nervously.

Faith looked around, and noticed a letter. Curiosity got the better of Dementia, and she opened the letter with one of her claws. Faith read it to her.

"Dear finder of this letter

You have been invited to the newly located mansion in the forest for a nice visit, simply because I'd love to get to know you. I don't care if you're a villain, hero, or even a simple salesman wandering around the island, you've been invited. if you're traveling with a group, it's fine if you bring them, too; this invitation isn't solely for one guest! You also won't be alone, since I've sent similar invites to other people as well.
I sure hope you agree to attend.
sincerly, Namia Fredrick, Mistress of the Mansion"

Faith looked up at her master.

"After looking around here a bit, I guess we'll check this mansion out," Faith said.

It was a question how that letter got here in the first place.

May was strolling around when she bumped into someone. A notebook hit her face. She picked the notebook after the fall the two had.

"Sorry, my fau-"

She cut off what she was saying out of pure shock. No, it's not because of the fact that she saw an alternate version of Edd. She met like three of them.

It was something on "his" chest. They were small, but noticeable.

"D-Double D-Dee?"

"He" looked even more confused than she was.

"You know, I thought you be a bit more...developed if you a girl."

Edd death glared May.

"Ha ha, tres drole." Edd said, rolling her eyes.
