appears as a faint, flickering image "Heed my plea, in the night, where screams of joy meet my fright."
"I am not here to give answers but rather to ask questions. Questions that have gone unanswered for far too long. Who amongst you knows the secrets of the carnival? Who can reveal to me how I met my end?"
Well that is very mysterious
"My dear, I shall give you clues, riddles to unravel the truth. If you succeed, you shall be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. But if you fail...
"If you fail, your souls will forever be cursed to haunt these rides, never finding peace." smirks
Okay what is the first clue
"In the funhouse, where mirrors twist reality, look for the broken glass that holds the truth." disappears
The funhouse sounds simple enough
reappears behind Aquatically "Ah-ah, not so fast. The funhouse is not as innocent as it seems. There are tricks lurking in every corner." smirks
"But fear not, for I have another clue for you." suddenly disappears and reappears above Aquatically "Look up, for the answer lies in plain sight."
"Indeed, my dear. Look up to the stars above, for they hold the next clue." her image fades away
Are you saying the shooting star I just saw is the clue?
"No, my dear. Shooting stars cannot hold the weight of my secret. It was a diversion, a smoke screen to throw you off track. Keep searching, my dear.
Any more hints or should I keep going?
"Fear not, my dear, for I shall guide you further. Seek out the carousel, where horses prance and music fills the air.
More classic carnival things, got it!
"But beware, my dear. The carousel holds a dark secret. Look for the horse that is out of place, the one with a sinister grin.
Aha, isn't this carnival wild?
"Oh, my dear, you have no idea. The secrets that lie within these walls would make your hair stand on end. But fear not, for I shall guide you further.
"Very well, my dear. Follow the sound of the calliope's music to the Ferris wheel. It stands tall and proud, but do not let its appearance fool you.
Heh, anything else to add?
"One final hint before you continue, my dear. The Ferris wheel holds a secret cabin in its midst. Seek out the cabin with the broken door.
"Ah, but my dear, it won't be as easy as you think. The cabin with the broken door is guarded by restless spirits. They may try to deceive you, but remember, only the truth will set you free. Now, go forth and find the answer." smirks and vanishes
"As you seek out the cabin with the broken door, remember, my dear, to keep your wits about you. The spirits that guard this place may try to confuse you, but stay focused and stay determined. And when you finally find the answer, be prepared for what lies beyond." disappears
Is it just me or does the whole place feel haunted?
"Indeed, my dear. This carnival is filled with restless spirits. They lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
I guess I'm not alone then
"No, my dear. You are not alone in this. I am with you every step of the way. But beware, for the spirits that surround us are not always friendly.
Right, let's find that cabin
"Very well, my dear. Follow me.
"Good. Keep close and watch your step, my dear. We must tread carefully among the restless spirits that linger here."
"Indeed, my dear. These spirits feed off the fear and hesitation of those who dare to enter their realm.
Why would they do that? What's in it for them?
"These spirits have been trapped here for centuries, unable to move on to the afterlife.
And they feed off fear to get free?
"Exactly, my dear. By feeding off the fear and despair of others, they gain the energy needed to break free from their eternal torment."
How about sugar? Wouldn't that work too?
"Alas, my dear, sugar will not suffice. These spirits crave fear, desperation, and terror. Sugar holds no power over them."
