[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.

I'm afraid my skills don't belong in a circus, but I would love to come see you preform one day.

[ Hey, Mike, guess who this is. ]

How much are you charging for tickets?

[hagrides]

10 demichroma for one performance. Quite reasonable, I would say.

[allegedprisoner]

Indeed!

[ There's a gap of time in between replies because he is absolutely jotting info down. ]

I'll definitely have to come. My housemates would probably enjoy it as well.

[hagrides]

The more the merrier. We would be delighted to have all of you.

[allegedprisoner]

Thank you! These people and I are good friends of Mr. Norton. I'm sure they'd appreciate seeing his acrobatics in the proper setting.

[hagrides]

A friend of his is a friend of mine. May I ask your name?

I am Grimm.

[allegedprisoner]

Pleasure to meet you, Grimm. I'm Luca.

[ A little less hesitant here because someone he mostly trusts is going to read this... Probably. ]

[hagrides]

The pleasure is mine. Do you hail from the same world as he?

[allegedprisoner]

Yes, technically speaking. Why do you ask?

[hagrides]

Mere curiosity. The worlds of humans are fascinating to me.

[allegedprisoner]

They can be, but I'm sorry to say you picked the wrong person to explain. My memory's not as good as his, you see, I'll probably give you inaccurate information on what my world was like.

[ What he does remember is painful, and Grimm is not his therapist. ]

[hagrides]

[he's dating luca's therapist does that count]

I see. I will inquire no further of it.

[allegedprisoner]

[ Considering Luca has no idea about this arrangement, no. ]

Thank you. Am I wrong to assume you're from a world that doesn't have humans?

[bombvault]

That's quite alright! We'd love to see you swing by regardless.

[ He's good but he isn't that good Luca!! ]

The price is a real steal considering all the things you'll see.

[allegedprisoner]

[ Ah well, guess that means he'll just get a surprise when he shows up with the rest of the VEL house or something. ]

Is it now? And what can I expect to see at the Lacewing Circus?

[bombvault]

Well, what are you hoping to see? Because we've got a lot!
Grimm's a one of a kind fire dancer for instance!

[ Mike might've been a bit more apprehensive about it if he wasn't. ]

We've got balancing acts and so much juggling too!
But it'll simply ruin the surprise if I tell you everything. Now won't it?

[allegedprisoner]

I suppose you're right. I can't wait to finally see your act in person.

[bombvault]

[ It sounds like this person knows him. ]

It'll exceed your expectations for sure! Who should I expect to see in the audience?

[allegedprisoner]

If I can convince them? Mr. Grantz, Mr. Clark, and myself. Why?

[bombvault]

Luca!! Why didn't you say it was you earlier?

[ This HAS to be Luca. ]

I'll pay for the tickets. I insist!

[allegedprisoner]

I thought the username would be a dead giveaway to people I know.

[ Seriously. It's his initials. "L-B-". ]

You really want to do that?!

[bombvault]

Well most people don't use their initials. They have a pseudonym!!

[ Luca please he's not a dummy. It's just a lot of people could have those initials!!! ]

Of course I mean it! I'd just love to see all of you there after all.

[allegedprisoner]

That's something to note, though I'm not sure if I should be changing my username at this point.

[ That is fair, though. He wasn't that comfortable with being recognized online at first. ]

That's wonderful, thank you Norton.

[ EGJKLSEgsEKSLGJES Mike can't be upset because Luca's memory is the worst but he can still pull a FACE in the privacy of his own home. ]

That's the other guy, silly. I'm Mike!
