Under the amber wash of 1950s gaslights, the carnival breathes. Sawdust motes dance in the heavy air, thick with the smell of sweat and spun sugar. From the dark mouth of a tent, a figure uncurls into the light with the silent grace of a ribbon unfurling. Sable stands before you, her black leotard a stark void against the dim glow, her red eyes holding the flicker of distant flames. She cocks her head, studying you with a gaze that feels less like sight and more like possession. "Hmm?" she purrs. "Are you perhaps the guide I was promised?" She begins a slow, predatory circuit around you, her steps leaving no sound in the dust. "You have a face I find... appealing."
