How did she manage to get lost in a small town? Ruby had no idea. All she wanted to do was explore the city and maybe get some inspiration for her act in the horror show. Salem had been known for creep history, well one big event. The Salem Witch Trials. It seemed hard to believe that a place with such a history would even want to have a circus in town. The young girl wasn't sure if the people were still paranoid, however it was clear that there were a few uneasy glances.
Though Ruby was sure that it was because of her outfit. "Hey, excuse me?" she called out to one of the towns people, "Can you help me I am looking for the circu-" the person walked away not making eye contact. "Okay then, clearly you are busy."
The black haired girl frowned, before her silver eyes spotted a tree, a very big tree. "Maybe I can see the circus from up there." That was smart. Slowly, the girl made her way over to the big tree and got prepared to climb.

After meeting Mulan not too long ago, Hotaru had been looking forward to planning a trip to Salem with her. She knew Mulan would love it, but she felt there was no harm in checking out the town now and picking out the most exciting things. Of course, there was a museum and tours regular humans gave. Then, there was the supernatural side of things, like shops that sold real potions. Hotaru thought those would be fun to check out as well. On her search however, she actually ran into somebody familiar. "Ruby, hi!" she called, waving.

Ruby was just half way up the tree, before she heard the voice. Her silver eyes widened in delight. It had been a long time since she had seen Hotaru, and she had never really gotten a chance to interact with her. Her siblings had but not Ruby herself. "Hi, Hotaru!" she called, letting go of the tree, and landed on her feet.

Hotaru had to admit, upon closer inspection, Ruby looked almost exactly like Cerise. Both had brown hair and a tendency to wear red. But Cerise had said quite a bit about her sister, so in a way, Hotaru felt like she already knew a bit about her. "Haven't seen you in a long time, huh?" she said. "How are things?"

Ruby dusted the dirt off her skirt and smiled. "Yeah, my sisters got to hang out with you but we never had really any one on one time." she said, it was almost disappointing, her sisters got all the fun. "I'm good though, Salem has some interesting stuff here. Though I can't help but notice that people aren't a big fan of the circus."
That wasn't any fun. People should smile at the circus not give it glares.

Hotaru gave a laugh. She did tend to see Cerise more often. Maybe it was just luck. Although she was interested to hear Ruby's comment in that some people didn't seem to like the circus. "Maybe they're just jealous of the attention it's getting," she said. "You know how local businesses can get sometimes. Something new comes in and boom! They're afraid of losing profits because of the competition."

Ruby frowned,it didn't seem like people were afraid of losing business. "Maybe, I am not sure that's the case though. I remember reading that Salem used to be really afraid of witchcraft and things that were different. Maybe they are worried that we are bringing witchcraft back?" she said, her silver eyes looked around the town. It was weird. "I think these people need to get past that kind of thing and look at the fun!"

"I guess we will always have those people that still think us supernaturals are bad and stuff," Hotaru said. Strato-Form Industries flashed through her mind as she said this. Despite it being a long time since they had encountered them, they still gave Hotaru the willies. She was grateful that some of the members had decided to turn good and help them. "I heard that witches like to congregate here anyway, like they're trying to spite what happened in the past." She gave a laugh. "I'm sure if there are any problems, Facilier will take care of it."

"Good," Ruby said, her smile remained. At least some witches were trying to feel like Salem could be their home. And not all the people there were bad. In fact, some of the children had tried to sneak a peek at the circus. "I just wish there was a way for supernaturals to feel more welcome."
The girl knew that many kids of supernatural had horrible lives. People were mean and often those that were different were treated differently like freaks. "I guess that's why Facilier built the circus though." The nephliem shrugged her shoulders. "What are you doing here? Are you looking for something? Can I help?"

Hotaru nodded in agreement. But the conversation soon changed when Ruby asked what she was doing here. "Oh, I was just scouting about for some interesting stuff," she replied. "I made a new friend that hasn't seen much besides her home and the circus, so I thought I could try to find some interesting places here at Salem to take her to." She ran a hand through her hair before asking "You don't happen to know any cool spots, do you?"

Ruby frowned, for a moment, trying to think of anything interesting that Hotaru would be able to take her friend too. "It all depends on what she is into to be honest." Her type of interesting was very different from others. "I mean there's a exhibit on the Salem Witch Trials, and there's a tour of a witch's house but those are for people who enjoy scary stuff."
She rubbed the back of her neck trying to think of something nice. "There's a island, called Winter island that is said to be very pretty at night, you could take her there." she pointed out towards the lighthouse. "That's where it is."

Hotaru thought for a moment. Now that she thought about it, she hadn't really asked what Mulan's interests were. All she knew was that she was a Naga and that she enjoyed martial arts. And she kind of doubted that Salem would have anything like that. Although when Ruby mentioned something called Winter Island, Hotaru felt like that might be a cool place to check out, especially if it had a pretty night view. "Hmm, that sounds like a good idea," she said. "If you want, you can come along with us. I'm sure she'd love to meet you."

"That sounds like fun." Ruby said, "I've been meaning to go out there anyways." Her smile only seemed to get bigger. "Going there with more than one person is better than going alone. Plus Winter Island is said to have a great view, it might give me more ideas to help improve the show. Maybe help people here enjoy it more."
If it was anything, Ruby didn't want people to miss out on fun things. "Is your new friend a supernatural?" If Ruby had been human she probably would have geeked out at the idea of supernaturals. She still geeked out when watching others with cool powers.

Hotaru nodded. "Yup. She's a naga. When I first met her, she was actually in her snake form." That had been pretty neat to see. Shapeshifting had always been pretty cool, in Hotaru's opinion. Changing into a different animal sounded a lot more exciting than her power, which was basically just moving stuff around with her mind.

Ruby's eyes went wide. A snake woman!? How cool was that? It was awesome. How often did she wish she could change into an animal. All she could do was, well talk to ghosts. Some would call that cool, but she wanted something more. Her sister could shift, and Ruby was super jealous of that. Ghosts. Oh, yeah, no wonder people would look at her weird. It wasn't that weird was it?
Her smile remained though, this naga, she had only heard of the creatures in books.
"I hope I can meet her sometime. She sounds like a cool supernatural to have with us." Ruby smiled, another supernatural to add to their big happy and magical family.
