VICTOR: "Do you care to start from the beginning, Mr. Romanov?"

As if the things happening in town elsewhere weren't enough, it finally hit close to home- literally in Melancholy's case...She had received a panicked phone call from her family about something they had seen on their property the night before. Not wanting to let down their friend, they all load into Ella's hearse and proceed down to the Romanov's residence.

MR ROMANOV: "Well, we were cleaning out the old funhouse just down the road--we were preparing for this weekend's fall festival."

Mr. Romanov trails off as he recalls the specifics of the attack. They were a unique family, five in total. There was Mr. Romanov, the head and father of the family, Mrs. Romanov, the mother and co-manager, Slice and Dice, melancholy's sisters (twins), and of course Melancholy, who was the youngest and smallest in the family. They were an eccentric bunch and loved their craft and NEVER back down from a challenge...usually.

MRS. ROMANOV: "We were just about to finish when we heard the sound of laughter coming from within the mirror maze. And when we went in to find it's source...it attacked us."

VANESSA: "Can you describe the person you saw?"

SLICE: "Well, we wouldn't exactly call it-"
DICE: "-A person.."

Everyone exchanges an uncomfortable glance. Mr. Romanov sighs before rising to his feet.

MR. ROMANOV: "Alright. Just don't call us crazy..."

JACE: "Now, why would anyone think that?"

Ella whacks him in the side with her elbow. Mr. Romanov paces as he confesses the truth behind what was seen..

MR. ROMANOV: "It was one of our test dummies. Fashioned to look like a Jester...and it was ALIVE!"

Melancholy is noticeably silent. Victor glares at Tyson, who now sits upright. It was a weird occurrence alright, and it just might have something to do with the missing cryptids around town.

VICTOR: "Well, Mr. Romanov, we'd be happy to take a look at it for you, weird things such as this just happen to be our specialty!"

Mr. Romanov ponders on the offer, he looks to his family and sighs solemnly.

MR. ROMANOV: "Please...it would mean the world to me. Maybe we're wrong, but I would rather have a second opinion to ensure my family's safety."

TYSON: "Don't worry about it, we've got this."

As Melancholy's family steps out of the room, she finally speaks up. She appears quite distraught.

MELNCHOLY: "Hey, can we talk...in private?"

This behavior is quite unusual for her. They hesitantly agree before following Melancholy out to her tent, which doubles as a bedroom..
