TALIESIN: What kind of weird?
LAURA: Like, you know, they– What kind of weird?
(laughter)
MARISHA: They seem to be the one connecting
through-line. Also, what’s her name, Norda?
Mentioned that she didn’t want to let you lot in,
but made an exception. I don’t know, if I wanted
to do something, and if I already knew a bunch of
people were upset and angry at a circus and
strange people coming in, it’s easy framing, in my
opinion.
TRAVIS: She makes a valid point, actually.
LAURA. Oh. If people are scared of carnivals, they
won’t want them in the future.
TRAVIS: Bingo.
MARISHA: That, or if you’re up to no good and you
don’t want to get caught, blame it on the easy
frame. The weirdos who just rolled into town.
LAURA: Great, so we just need to investigate the
guards.
TRAVIS: That might be harder to do. Maybe we go
down to the Lochward.
TALIESIN: Start at the docks, but I’ll keep that
in mind.
MARISHA: I don’t know, it might not be the
guards. There might be another through-line
that we’re missing.
LAURA: Do we need to question the guards?
SAM: That sounds terrible.
LAURA: Maybe we should tell them they can’t leave
town.
MARISHA: Ooh, that’s a good idea, yeah! Maybe when
they question us–
LAURA: We turn it around!
MARISHA and LAURA: Yeah!
MARISHA: I like that.
TALIESIN: I was about– nope, nevermind.
LAURA: What?
TALIESIN: I was about to be very impressed, but I
take it back.
MARISHA: Aw.
TRAVIS: How far is it from where we are to the
Lochward?
MATT: You guys are technically in the Lochward.
It’s a quick jaunt over to the edge of the Ustaloch.
MARISHA: So the Ustaloch is the docks? It’s what
they called the ward, or it’s the lake?
MATT: It’s the giant lake that the docks are up
against. The city is built against this giant,
kidney bean-shaped lake.
MARISHA: What does “usta” mean? What does “usta”
come from?
MATT: Do you speak Zemnian?
MARISHA: You speak Zemnian.
LIAM: I do speak Zemnian.
TALIESIN: What does “usta” mean?
LIAM: It means–
MATT: Do you know?
LIAM: Do I know?
