THE BOX OFFICE

[tellthestory]

This is where you can meet privately with the Balladeer! The Balladeer is almost always around during the day; just knock.

(Secretly, the door's usually not locked if he's inside. But you wouldn't want to be rude, would you?)

Comments are screened for privacy!

Sure, c'mon in.

[The Balladeer seems in a more pleasant mood than last time, at least. There's a few more papers on his desk, but otherwise nothing in the box office has changed.]

[ Cooking up stories in your office, are we? ]

Thank you. [ Hans steps in, cordial as ever. ] I was wondering if you could obtain some playing cards for us? Some of the children are getting a bit, well, bored.

[Do you want to try and look at the papers?]

Sure, that's simple enough. I can see where they're coming from. The show I worked on before was a little more... [He fishes for a polite word.] ...fast-paced.

[ Hans is definitely glancing at those papers. What could be on them?? ]

I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

[ He's gonna win so many points with these losers. ]

"Fast-paced," huh? How so?
