The advantage to being a carnie (a cirky, to be more accurate, but people just look at you funny when you say that for some reason) is that you know it's temporary. You can go in somewhere, see the problems they have, fix them, and be back out on the road before the bad guys knew what hit them.

That's the part that bugs me the most about the here and now. It ain't the now, with its frighteningly fast cars, its lights and sounds everywhere, its mobile phones and computers, and whatnot. It's the here - not the funny way people talk or the fact that it's another country or anything, but the permanence of it all. I ain't going anywhere. No longer a sort of magical Lone Ranger, now I've got to be all political and make sure the way I think things should be doesn't cause problems with other Awakened individuals, that things run smooth in this town.

I ain't real worried about what they think, though. The kind of people who do vulgar magic where they live - or as I like to think of it 'poop where they eat' - ain't really the kind of people I want to stick around.

But I have to stick around.

Shame there's no circuses around here.
