It's now evening and Twisty had just taken off his mask to eat. He had canned goods, stored in his mini school bus, and a can opener and one fork to eat with. He also had a candle, which he lit at night, so he could see what he's eating. He hadn't heard from Dandy, in a few hours, and just assumed he left.
Outside, laying in the hammock, Dandy is suddenly disturbed a green mist and freak ghosts.
Dandy: Who are you guys?
Ghost 1: We have been summoned.
Dandy: Certainly, not by me. I did not ask for freak ghosts.
Ghost 2: We are here for the clown.
Dandy: Well, I'm not him, obviously. He's in there.
Dandy says, pointing toward the bus. Inside the bus, Twisty hears a thud on the door, and is easily annoyed.
Twisty: Dandy, you're still out there? Go away.
Twisty shouts, so Dandy shouts back.
Dandy: It wasn't me, I swear.
Annoyed Twisty, puts his mask back on, steps outside his bus and is surrounded by the ghost freaks and Dandy.
Dandy: Told you, it wasn't me.
Ghost 1: (to Twisty) So, you must be the clown.
Twisty: Yeah, so what do you want?
Ghost 2: We were sent here by Edward Mordrake.
Ghost 3: We are messengers, so we ask you to come to the Freak Show, and be given a task.
Twisty: And what is that?
Ghost 1: We are not sure. We were told to get you to the Freak Show, no questions asks.
Dandy: Sounds like fun. I like the Freak Show.
Twisty: No thanks. Tell this Mordrake to find another clown.
Ghost 2: Mordrake wants you, clown. He didn't say why.
Twisty: Okay, I'll think about it.
Ghost 3: Don't wait too long.
Then the ghosts suddenly vanish. Dandy approaches Twisty.
Dandy: I didn't summon this Mordrake, so don't give me that look.
Twisty: You didn't, but someone at that Freak Show did. And why would they want me?
Dandy: Guess we'll have to go to find out.
Now at the Freak Show, ring-leader Elsa Mars had summoned Edward Mordrake to do her bidding. Clearly, she wants something, and only he can get it for her. This is in her tent. Elsa is seated and Mordrake stands in front of her.
Elsa: So, I hear of this pure freak, so I summoned you.
Mordrake: You think I can aquire this pure freak, am I correct?
Elsa: What else can you do?
Mordrake: This freak lives so far away, and on top of that, no circuses or other side show acts, were able to aquire her without success.
Elsa: Well, you are immortal, so I summoned you and I know you will not fail.
Mordrake: This task would need a mortal, clearly I'm not.
Elsa: So, what are you trying to tell me? I have to get her myself? You said it was dangerous and I'm not risking the freaks I already have.
Mordrake: True, but I am way ahead of you. I sent out my freakish ghosts to collect a sacrifice. Someone who will be perfect for the task.
Elsa: Who is this "sacrifice".
Mordrake: You will soon find out. He or she will be coming by tomorrow for more information.
Elsa: Oh goodie. Then if this person succeeds, to get what I want, then I will be the most popular star attraction of all time.
Mordrake: I will not fail you.
Elsa: Better not.
It is now morning and both Twisty and Dandy come across the Freak Show. Ahead of them, is a path to the big top entry, shaped like a demon head. They both have a conversation as they walk down the path.
Dandy: So, do you suppose, that the Freak Show is looking for a clown?
Twisty: Why? Have you tried to get in?
Dandy: Well, I did try to convience them, that I'm a freak on the inside.
Twisty: And I take it, that it didn't go very well.
Dandy: Let's put it this way. I think my singing was too good for their Freak Show. Must be the same for your clown tricks.
Twisty doesn't answer, as he sees a young man at the podiem, taking tickets. The same boy with the lobster hands. When Jimmy sees the creepy-looking clown, he is startled.
Twisty: Excuse me, I think I am supposed to be here.
Jimmy says nothing, but runs inside the big top.
Dandy: You have a way with people, don't you?
Twisty: Dandy, you're going the right way for a smacked bottom.
Dandy: Sorry about that.
Annoyed with Dandy, they go inside the big top. Anxious to see what awaits them.
