[ Perhaps if you've already been to the fair, you've spotted one of the booths slowly being draped in blankets and curtains until it looks appropriately gaudy. Reporting to you now live from inside his brocade den is...an off center image of an equally gaudy tiefling. Look, attempts are being made. ]

Hello my dears! I'm sure you're all aware of the carnival that seems to have made itself available to us. Lovely little place. That said, I did notice an sad lack of any sort of fortune tellers, which I think we can all agree is a shame. And so I have gallantly taken it upon myself to fill that unfortunate hole.

[ One hand sweeps out of frame as Molly gives an extravagant bow. You're all welcome. When he straightens up again, he's holding a few tarot cards fanned out, backs to the camera. ]

And, as a special bonus, I'm offering that right here and now, I'll pull a single card for anyone who asks. [ Without him seeming to move at all, two of the cards vanish and the one remaining is now facing the camera. Look closely and you might spot an image of a covered wagon with the word HOME written across the bottom. ]

Fair deal? Only one card, though. If you want more, you'll have to come see me in person~

[ Someone's taken to the idea of advertising quickly. Perhaps also a test to see how well he can cold read through these weird devices? Whomst can say. Look at that sharp-toothed smile, is that the kind of face that would con you? ]

On a professional level:
unless it's an emergency, I'm not currently handling patients at this time
so if you have a general check up or you're worried about a rash or something seek out one of the other doctors
great we've got that squared away

Non-professional question:
what's waiting for you back in your home?
Family, friends, saving the world, a hot date?
just a bit of curiosity on my side
Cheers

[ Four lines of text. ]

This is written in Victorian.
Kore wa Laterano-ji Higashi-go de kakareteimasu.
This is written in Higashinese.
This written by in Yanese. (Might be bad. Sorry.)

Please do let me know how many of these sentences you understand.

[ The first is in what would be considered Earth English, the second is what would be known as Japanese written in Romaji, but he's called it "Laterano-ji Higashinese". The third was written in Japanese, the fourth was written in some rather poor Chinese. He's called the languages themselves clearly incorrect names. What's more important, though, is that only the second one should parse as phonetic, and should only be understandable to fellow Japanese speakers. The rest are in whatever language is most understandable to whoever reads it. Funny, huh? This city sure is strange! ]

oh yeah heads up
ive heard from certain people who committed this themselves and
apparently if you kill someone here
you get your memories wiped of the incident altogether
not sure why they'd go out of their way to do that here but they do this sort of thing where im from all the time so im very used to seeing it
probably can't say the same for other people from other worlds so you guys have to educate me on that

so uhh
im not saying you should or shouldn't kill altogether
im not your mom
but just keep that in mind the next time you got some kinda murderous urge or something
the reason why im anonymous right now is bc i don't wanna reveal who did that in the first place
it might lead to some awkward icebreakers on their part
also i wouldn't lie about something like this if anyone's wondering bc i got no time to waste on leading people on

but this is probably the worst thing any newcomer would wanna see, huh
whoops
well... welcome to this city, i guess
