text: Maybe you just want to talk to Salina because you're creeped by Pervus or maybe you want to talk to her because you think she's pretty, or maybe it's a combination of both.
  
  Whatever the case the result is still the same when you bang on her trailer.
  
  "PEEYOO! Geek! Get the fuck outta here, even if you did have some money I wouldn't debase myself!" Salina says when she answers.
  "No, its not that, I need some help."
  "I'll help you get your ass kicked if you don't get outta here! I'm sure Charley wouldn't like seeing you here lingering around me."
  
  You just realized that. If Charley caught you here, he'd probably torture the shit out of you and then let Ajax finish you off (Nevermind the fact that Salina IS a prostitute, but Charley isn't always logical when it comes to her, plus you're a punching bag anyway)
  You need to not remain here as long as possible.
  > beg and plead pitifully
  Being pitiful has always been something you've been good at, sometimes it even works to your advantage. You collapse on the little piece of stairs you're standing on and start pleading.
  
  "Please Salina you gotta help me! (sob) I don't have anyone else to turn to! I need to sneak in Madam Orbec's tent and get a book from without her knowing (sob) or I'm gonna die! (sob)"
  
  Salina doesn't completely understand what the hell you're babbling about, but she just wants you to leave and stop stinking up the place. Salina goes back inside and grabs a bottle and dumps the entire contents on you. The shit burns like hell on the sores you have on your skin. You roll off the stairs and on to the ground in irritated pain.
  
  "I dunno what the hell you're on about Geek, but you ain't sneaking anywhere as long as you smell the way you do. I just dumped a strong perfume on you. Normally you'd smell like flowers, but with your disgusting odor all it's gonna do is cancel out your usual foulness and even then only for a little while giving you time to do whatever it is you have to do. And this is ALL the help you're getting from me! Now get outta here I got customers coming!" Salina says and then slams her trailer door.
  
  Not exactly what you had in mind, but more help than you expected. You head to Madam Orbec's tent. When you arrive there's a distinct air of creepiness about it. You can't afford to waste too much time so you head around the back of the tent and start trying to pull up so you can sneak in and get the book. You only hope she doesn't happen to be looking in your direction while you're attempting to do this.
  
  As luck would have it, she isn't, in fact when you crawl inside you see you're right near her bed where she's fast asleep. Next to the bed you see a small table with a black book on it. That must be it. You grab it.
  
  Madam Orbec then begins to stir. She starts sniffing in her sleep. The perfume must be wearing off!
  > run out of the front entance of the tent
  No time to mess around lifting and crawling you just need to get out of here! You run out of the tent and don't stop until you reach Randal who wonders why you're breathing so hard.
  
  When you get back to Randal he wonder's why the hell you're so worked up.
  
  "(Pant) I got the book."
  "Phew! Well don't breathe all over me, just gimme the thing! Excellent. I'll study what I can tonight before show time and then afterwards we'll see who the new master is! And what's wrong with you Geek? Why are breathing so heavy and looking around... you didn't let Madam Orbec see you borrow this did you?!"
  "No, not at all. I'm just winded from trying to get out there without her seeing me!"
  "Well you better make yourself scarce until showtime anyway. I'm sure you wouldn't want to run into the Ring Master before hand. Relax, I will keep my end of the bargain. Now go."
  
  You leave and linger around the edges of the Carnival, staying out of sight until show time. You just hope Randal does live up to his bargain and manages to take control, because if he doesn't, you're going to be in a world of shit with the Ring Master.
  
  Eventually you wander back to the Carnival around show time. Everything goes as normal with a few exceptions. The Ring Master looks pre-occupied, and Randal's act seems to be a lot more spectacular than usual.
  > but the real show occurs afterwards
  A dark moonlit night.
  
  Charley confronts the Ring Master with his army of midgets behind him as well as Ajax. It appears that Pervus and his clowns have also decided to join him. The Ring Master has Atlas, and looks around for his usual allies, the Freaks, and to the surprise of everyone Randal appears with most of the Normals behind him. You attempt to hide directly behind Randal figuring that will be the safest place.
  
  "YOU? You're attempting to take over? You must be joking! Go take your fairy dust and
  prance off somewhere, this is between me and the she male freak!" Charley spits.
  "No, you malignant midget! Your time and a criminal ways are at an end here today! And your too Ring Master! No longer will this Carnival be run by an exploitative tyrant!" Randal retorts.
  
  The Ring Master sees you and shakes his head.
  
  "I'm very disappointed that you decided to betray me here today Geek. You will learn to regret that fateful decision."
  "Enough, of this fuckin' talk. Let's see who's gonna fuckin' run this show once and for all! Attack!"
  
  Charley and his midgets begin the assault, and the other two sides follow suit. The fighting is furious and brutal. All you do is crawl away and try to hide under a trailer and hope Randal wins, which he looks like he's doing.
  
  Randal has the upper hand in every way, he has numerical superiority for one thing, and the other thing is he's casting actual magic spells. A couple of bolts of lightning fry Ajax and Charley. Another spell strikes down Atlas. All looks good for Randal, especially when he wipes out Pervus and all the clowns with a huge fireball and finally with one last spell he strikes down the Ring Master with a dark black light which completely disintegrates him.
  
  Its over.
  
  "Geek! You can stop hiding! We won!" Randal shouts.
  "Yes, and with the help of MY book!" Madam Orbec says appearing from nowhere. "What the hell is wrong with you Randal? Didn't I tell you not to mess with this book?" Orbec begins hitting Randal and takes her book back.
  "Ow! I'm sorry Madam! I just wanted to prove to you that I was ready to... ow!"
  "You'll never be ready for this book, you hear me? You're lucky you didn't bring the dead back to life with your careless chanting!" then she points to you. "And YOU'RE lucky I didn't catch you stealing this for him! I would've turned you into a worm which probably would be a step up for you!" Orbec decides she doesn't want to dirty herself hitting you though, so she just leaves. After this embarrassing incident Randal regains his composure.
  
  "Okay people get some rest for tomorrow, a new era of this Carnival has arrived and we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but it'll be worth it! Because with magic anything is possible! And don't worry Geek, I still haven't forgotten about you, thanks to your help, you'll have a place in my Carnival."
  
  Time passes and Randal "cleans up" the Carnival of all remaining criminal activity, though without Charley around, it wasn't really a factor anymore. Salina ends up leaving though as the Carnival has gotten too "Goody" for her liking. Without Ajax around, Sasha ends up falling for Randal and the two eventually get married.
  
  There also aren't anymore Freaks in the Carnival anymore; the few that survived ran off to eke out meager livings elsewhere. There were quite a few Midgets left, and were allowed to stay due to the fact that they were hard workers, but their status is severely diminished. In fact they're pretty relegated back to second class citizen status again.
  
  The Carnival flourishes though as it becomes a truly wondrous and safe place for entire families. And your reward for your help was a complete magical transformation into... 
  
  An animal keeper.
  
  Having no other useful skills you're relegated to have to look after all the animals and take care of them in Randal's new Carnival.
  
  Every day you take your life into your hands when dealing with the lions.
  Every day the horses fart on you whenever you're around.
  Every day you suffer the indignities of the monkeys throwing their shit at you. Not that it matters since you smell like shit anyway after having to clean up after the elephants.
  
  In fact you only smell slightly better than when you were a Geek, though at least you don't have eat various parts of the animals' anatomies and you don't get beat up anymore.
  
  It's a step up!
