Who: The Summer Maiden, the Ringmaster, and possibly you!
When: Day 146 - Day 152
Where: The Summer Maiden's garden, in the Summerlands.
What: Just some gals being pals. The perfect opportunity to both snoop and hassle some fae.
Warnings: Nothing specific.

THE SUMMER MAIDEN↴ The Ringmaster is reborn without much fanfare. One day her egg is resting in the egg tent, and the next she's out and around the carnival, back to normal - or mostly, at least. She takes the same humanoid shape as she did before Portland ever happened, but now instead of appearing totally human, she's retained a set of curved horns, and longer, sharper nails. She personally offers no explanation for it, without being asked. Otherwise, she does her very best to settling back into the old routine, acknowledging what they all just went through as little as possible. After the first few days of getting the carnival up and running again, she disappears off into the summer cities. People who were here for the last visit to the Summerlands probably have a pretty good idea of what she's doing. They are few restrictions as to where you can go, in the mountain top cities. One particularly majestic mountain supposedly contains the home of the Summer Maiden herself - a plant filled temple that would be considered unassuming by fae standards. There are no guards blocking the entrance, or locked gates keeping you out. Once you find it, you are free to explore. Free enough that you may stumble upon the sound of a familiar voice, and private discussions. Are you going to be polite, or are you going to listen in? [OOC: Tag in with your character entering the temple and heaving the Ringmaster talking to someone, or the sound of an unfamiliar voice singing. Each of my replies will be a bit different. I'll do my best to keep up with as many threads as possible, but priority will go on a first come first serve basis, in the event I get overloaded. Indicate whether you'd like to talk mostly to the Ringmaster or mostly to the Summer Maiden in your top level.]

Well, she's not wrong there. When she rushes up to him, he holds very still, as if expecting to end up hugged regardless and planning on simply not reacting to it. It doesn't come to pass, however, and so he takes that as being free to move again, even if it is only to tilt his head curiously at the Ringmaster.

"You're in a surprisingly good mood for someone who died," he comments, an idle and useless start to what he's really here about, but he won't digress much further than that. "I am here because of the note I left for you, though..." It's the other question that makes him pause to first frown at her, then try and give that serious thought.

How does it feel to turn into a bird? Is it meant to feel special somehow?

"It's... odd. How it feels, I mean, not the note." He probably does need to specify. "Knowing that I can fly away whenever I feel like it. I'm not really sure what to make of it yet."
