[ The rebuilding of the theatre industry in Aefenglom doesn't just help out the actors of this city. It also means that Trucy is ready to go full throttle with her own plans.

Which is why the Watches are broadcasting Trucy, stood in front of a sparkly piece of fabric, patches of fur visible on her shoulders and arms where her cape, dress or gloves don't cover, but smiling nonetheless.

Beaming, actually. ]

Friends, monsters, witches!

[ She sure is all about the stage presence, spreading her arms with a flourish that sends her cape rippling out behind her, even when the stage is nothing more than her living room, obscured by some well-placed fabric. But that motion does more than simply show off her cape, it allows a large wooden puppet to spring forth at her side, stealing her hat as he unfurls. ]

I invite you to a night of magical wonder, of mystifying illusions and enchantment with the marvellous Miss Trucy Wright!

[ There's absolutely no indication as to how this thing is speaking, or how it sounds almost nothing like the young girl who began this broadcast, but its mouth clicks and clacks as it opens and shuts. ]

Why, Mr. Hat, wherever do I go to see such wonders?

[ She's putting it on thick here, isn't she? But the whole thing bubbles with joy. ]

Oh ho ho! On the biggest stage Aefenglom has to offer, of course! We will be on the streets of the Haven this weekend.

What about the time? I'm a busy girl! I can't hang out all day!

It starts at eight sharp!

Great! I can't wait to see it.

[ And that, dear Mirrorbound, has been your notice of a night of illusions and delight. ]

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness my formal debut show here!

[ She's certainly done small street acts since arriving, but finally, this will have more than card tricks, her panties and Mr. Hat. ]

[beariot]

Exactly. I feel like I've barely seen the tip of your potential, and I'm legitimately pretty hyped up to see what you can do with a bigger stage and budget.

[cardtrick]

[ Oh, that makes her flutter with joy, and the smile which had relaxed since Trucy finished her advertisement returns at full wattage in her living room. ]

Why, thank you! It'll be the kind of show Aefenglom has never seen before!

[ That goes without saying when your most famous trick is magic bloomers. ]

[beariot]

[ Don't forget the puppet. ]

I'll be sure to take the refugee children to see it. They could use a show like that, with how rough things have been lately.

[ She could always try to pull Mr. Hat out of her panties. ]

Great, I can't wait to see them!

[cardtrick]

[ Oh. Actually! ]

You know, if you ever need a magician for the kids, you can contact me! It'll be on the house.

[beariot]

Oh no, no way, I definitely would never ask you to work for free. That's the first lesson, right?

[ Shut up, Ursula, it's for the kids. ]

[cardtrick]

[ Well, she could argue that, but... ]

Daddy always said you should never turn down a kindness. If you want to pay me, that's good too.

[beariot]

I guess if your heart is set on it, I can't turn it down.

I'll find a way to compensate you. It may not end up being money, but I won't let you leave empty handed, either way.

[cardtrick]

Deal!

[ She'll be happy to be paid in pudding, TBH. ]
