"Oh, so you've had enough of theme parks after last week?" asked Rosa, who really could have just left that to the narrative, but nah. "Well, too bad, because the carnival's in town," she gestured to the set-up, which everyone had probably noticed by now, which had equal parts cheap seaside theme park and sketchy traveling circus vibes to it, between all the roller coasters and ramshackle rides, colorful tents and food carts and bullshit games on wagons, "and, guess what, people have been going missing. No one's been found dead yet, at least, but people are getting real nervous that it's only a matter of time, so we've got to get to the bottom of this before murder is added to the list of attractions.

"So," she said, "use some of the skills you've been honing in this class to see what you can root out, if you can figure out what's going on before it's too late. So far, we know that it's both guests and employees, and even animals from the petting zoo and shows, that have been disappearing, including the guy who usually runs the place, so his assistant had been mostly in charge. But they're a tight-knit group at this park and don't like to spill the beans to outsiders. Right now, their main concern is protecting their star performer, because they're worried she's going to disappear before her big show tomorrow night, which is why they've brought in investigators to handle it. But that's all we got at the the moment. So, you know." She gestured vaguely. "Do your thing. Detect."
