Who is all there of note
- Luna Max -mostly on stage making announcements and performing
- Emma Hart- is a smiling amethyst statue, dressed in a nearly sheer white gown with silver threads. Even her normally ruby red hair shimmers purple. She never stops smiling. Performing with Blacksock, she is also meandering the crowds.
- GB is a tall, wiry Ogre with an imposing presence and gleaming gold eyes. Her hair is very dark, and her skin seems pale, but for the appearance of dark fluids swirling under the surface, and when she smiles, rows of pointy teeth can be seen in an impressive maw. Still, there's something in her expression that makes you feel safe, and the warmth that seeps out from her enfolds others protectively. Tonight she's wearing snazzy black dress slacks, and a shimmery red button-up.
- Scarlett Is there is a rather nice pant and low cut sleaveless shirt. She seems in high spirits and is out to share that joy.
- Stephan Glamourdust is a reasonably tall man, wearing a formal white robe, with nearly shoulder-length white hair, wearing a Wax Mask of his order and a small shoulder satchel at his side. He is wearing a belt on the robe, showing the colors of all four courts. A slight fresh-breeze can be smelled in his immediate presence. The only other things visible on him are a set of Jade prayer beads around his neck, and a matching bracelet on his left wrist.
- Nycto Feraz Large Darkling wearing a gray top hat, and a red vest. Walks with a cane topped with the angle of death, and wears black goggles.
- Dr Somnus - Description can be found at: http://changeling.cam-wiki.org/index.php/Dr_Somnus#Description
- Auntie Em Stonebone Ogre wearing a black glittery top and black slacks. Her skin looks almost that of milky emerald, her hair, nails and eyes made of clear emerald. Mildly overweight, she also walks with clear effort as if she finds the effort difficult.
- Bethany Bleedingheart is a moderately tall curvy female. She is dressed in a turquoise halter dress reminescent of the 1940s complete with a black shaw and high heels. Her hair and nails are perfectly done bringing to mind a pinup of old days. As she moves about her skin glows and glistens as though a million diamonds where place on and in it.
- Nemo is a gray-skinned, almost perpetually damp Swimmerskin, with practically no visible ears or nose... bumps in the right places, but not quite "built right". He's dressed in a pair of tight-fitted khaki pants, supple leather boots, and a dress shirt and duster coat both a vivid deep red... almost the color of dried blood, to be exact. There are bumps under the coat as well, as he's of the habit of going everywhere armed, but generally a friendly (if cold) attitude with a slight smile on his all-too-thin lips and a good mug of beer to keep his spirits up.
Areas of the Game
- #Lobby - The theater itself has been roped off and is a Vip Area. Noticeably to any lost the security is 2 rather large impressive Ogre’s one with a clip board. Without looking at the board he will ask lost for their name, and tell them they are on the list. Norms that are not with a “guest” are not permitted in. Within the Theater is the #Lobby and #Theater .
- #Austin-Lost – The Street Festival, and Stage performance area outside. Full of lights, Sound and music. Humans and lost mingle on the Street, Crowds of drunks moving from location to location enjoying the Celebration.

The Stage is a content movement of acts, acts of note are listed
- The Milk Jug Trick - Performed by luna Max, also known as harlequin A platform is set up on stage Showing a 2 foot gap of empty space. A clear glass milk jug is placed on the stage and filled with water as the crowd watches. Luna comes out in a bathrobe, her Mask and Mein Matching, and while talking to the crowd tests the water in the jug like bath water, and makes a joke about poking eyes out, and has an assistant help her strip the robe off revealing a very small poke a dotted bikini, and then helps her into the jug, causing water to displace out of it. She comes up for air once, and then goes below the water as the assistant seals the jug with a lid and proceeds to seal the lid weights. Luna begins to test the walls of the glass and then the lid and begins to thrash. After a moment she opens her mouth and a razor blade is moved out. and she slits her wrists and throat, a flow of red cloud filling the jug. once the jug is solid red, the assistant opens the jug and knocks it over spilling the red fluid on the stage revealing Luna is gone.
- A large array of metal machinery are brought out onto the stage on is very obvious for anyone who has seen sci-fi or horror movies as it is a Jacobs ladder. The rest are high voltage Tesla coils. Gypsy walks out on stage and explains the dangers of electricity. He will then say “and for those of you who have an IQ lower size let me demonstrate.” He will pull out a metal bar and proceed to cut it in half with the Jacobs Ladder. “Now Without further ado The Cirque Nocturne Acrobats!”
- Gypsy - Before Gypsy makes his appearance techs will come out and set up four steampunk looking blowtorches that keep constant 8 inch billowing flames going. Black fuel cans are positioned at various points throughout the stage, each with several torches. Near each can there is also ornate glass bottles filld with a clear substance. Other props positoned on stage are fire diablos, a large medicine ball, and in the center of the stage there is a rotating wheel with shackles positioned in an X Pattern.
Flashpots on either side of the stage go off as Saliva - "Ladies and Gentlemen"plays.
Gypsy enters juggling four flaming kukris and after a bit of flair and advanced patterns proceeds throw them into the wheel with the shackles leaving them to burn out there. After he finishes with his entrance he will walk right through one of the blowtorches singeing his cloths as he does although he does not appear to notice. He picks up 2 fire eating torches. He does some fire eating flame transfers and fire breathing. After he finishes this portion of the show he picks up the fire Diablo and begins working with one then two and then even three. After throwing out two of the Diablos in to a tub of water kept at the edge of the stage, he proceeds to perform with one again while walking atop the medicine ball. At this point Luna Max will enter to inform Gypsy that he is already exceeded his stage time. A short tiff will ensue in which Luna agrees to help Gypsy in his last act. She proceeds to shackle him to the wheel at which point Gypsy makes off handed remarks regarding the familiarity of being shackled by her. She will proceed to paint short line designs in fuel upon his back and then lighting them while giving the wheel painfully fast turns. Each time Gypsy makes more off handed remarks and each time Luna getting more brutal with her treatment occasionally throwing in a jab or slap before she lights him again and again. Gypsy at one point tell Luna ok that’s enough to which she smiles and tells him he is no position to tell her when she’s done. After more brutal burns and abuse she finally throws the whole bucket of fuel on to gypsy and the wheel, steps back, lights a cigarette and says “I guess I have the controlling interest I the business now.” As Gypsy begs her not to do it she throws the cigarette at him and his begging turns to screams of pain and agony as he is left there to burn alive. After about a minute the screams subside to a body given up as the techs rush on stage to smother him out with a fire blanket and rush him the paramedics standing by.
- Black Sock- As eerie as techno/industrial can be, this band goes the extra step into a malevolent resonance that seems to offend the senses in almost pleasurable ways. Many have described their music as difficult to erase from their memories once heard. Never repetitive like trance and almost sing-songy enough to dance to, the overall sound can seem addicting to the naked ear. As if the music was not a spectacle enough, the dark shadows that constitute "S" and Spectre playing in against a black backdrop seem almost to be like two kabuki theater performers that are barely visible. Their motions are distorted and off-kilter, seeming to enrapture and draw in the viewer on a level that affects a sense of wrongness in the subconscious minds of witnesses. In the front is Emma Hart in a beacon of shimmering crimson that seems to almost light the room solely as most illumination is dimmed to the edges of the periphery of vision. Subtle illusions and special effects have been known to strain the eyes of the audience and even, in some cases, cause a viewer to note items of the performance later that they did not realize they were viewing during it. At the end of the performance at Midnight, as the fireworks go off, Emma's voice reaches almost painful octaves, reverbrating through the night, all glass in the area cracks and shatters under the force of the music and her voice.
- Fireworks over the city at midnight
