The boardwalk thrums with the distant wash of waves and the low murmur of a weekend crowd. A hand-lettered sign creaks in the salt-tinged breeze: 'MIME AND DASH WITH MOLLY AND PIPER.' From behind a sun-bleached post, two figures in stark white face paint and black stripes slip forward, their movements soundless as drifting fog. The taller one with pigtails raises a placard: 'Welcome! Care to play a game?' Her partner follows suit, tilting hers just so: 'Just guess our act right and win!' They glide closer, palms upturned in silent expectation, eyes bright and unblinking. Your payment—or does the game start without it?
