[Around the carnival]

Well, the first thing to do when you're in a new place is explore it. Especially since he was going to be working here and living here full-time for a while, it was definitely a smart idea to know how the Carnival was laid out.

He'd been through the public areas before, so of course the logical thing to do is to take a deep breath and start poking around behind the scenes, where casual carnival-goers weren't supposed to be. Anyone who sees him will get a friendly smile. "Hey! I was looking for where the animals are kept. I just got hired."

[Closed to Helen Magnus]

After some exploring, Will heads to the trailer park area. It doesn't take him long to find the trailer he was assigned to; it looked pretty small, but it was a trailer and he didn't exactly expect to have a lot of space based on that. Appearances could also be deceptive; he would have to see inside before he'd know exactly how much space he'd have.

Will hesitated a second before deciding to knock. He didn't know if he had a roommate yet, and just barging in wouldn't be the best way to start things off. He takes a step back, settling a friendly smile on his face as he waits to see if anyone will answer. He'll give it at least thirty seconds before he assumes no one's home.

[[Also if you want him anywhere else just hit me up or put it in a comment, I'm open to playing with anyone!]]

"Five, maybe six days, I think," she said, sounding a touch unsure. Her eyes have been steadily getting bluer, though, a fact that was surprising at first and now seems more normal than not. Or at least no more unusual than Sherlock Holmes with scales and a snake snout. That surprise, she's just going to let her good friend encounter himself. It will be, no doubt, priceless. She filled the water and put it on to heat, flicking the switch on the electric unit before moving to pull down two cups, a container of cubed sugar, and a tin of British Breakfast tea she'd absconded with from the cookhouse kitchen.

Once that has been done, she turned to lean against the counter, offering him a bemused smile.

"A carnival that moves through whole multiverses," Helen said, cradling an empty cup as the kettle ticked behind her. "I thought that I had encountered all manner of odd creatures and situations but this just might be near the top."

"I have to admit, I feel a little better knowing you've never seen anything like this place either." He offers her a grin in return, moving to sit down in the first chair he sees.

Looking up at her, he folds his hands loosely and rests them on the table surface. "I'm not sure where to start... the Ringmaster explained a lot of it already. Um... Magnus, did you know your eyes are like... blue? Really, really blue?"

It was a little awkward just blurting it out like that but he had to get that one out there immediately or he'd die of restrained curiosity.

"Ah yes, the eyes," she murmurs. "They've been getting steadily bluer since my arrival. I should hope they're about finished, if they get any brighter I won't need a flashlight." Helen wrinkles her nose at the thought. "They do glow a little, enough to be seen in the dark. I'm still getting used to my reflection in the mirror as it can be disorienting, to say the least. I am sure it will be for you as well."

She gives him a searching look.

"No other structural or mental changes than the eyes though. I've been doing my best to keep a log of them, just in case it's needed." That means copious, detailed notes.

"...yeah." He knew that this was going to happen, of course. The Ringmaster had explained it all, but that didn't make it any less startling to see such strange eyes in a familiar face.

He nods, feeling relieved. "That's good, at least. I can deal with physical changes, honestly... it's the mental ones that bother me."

Don't worry about him, Magnus, he'll find a way to deal with it as it happens.
