Athena and I went back to the detention centre to see Trucy. She was performing tricks for the guard, so she was dealing with stuff in her usual way.
I showed her the contract she signed and she was shocked at the three million dollars part, saying she didn't see that, and she read it from top to bottom. There must've been some foul play with Roger Retinz behind all of it.
Then I asked her about Bonny's mistake and she got all dramatic and cliffhangery, making an entertaining narrative of how she overcame it.
There was another stage lift under Mr Hat's new position, but it was raised. Trucy then had to push that lift out of the way and then push the one she wanted to use into place. She was able to use that instead. She said she couldn't use her magic as the understage was a dark place that drains magicians of all their powers. That was a nice little detail.
Trucy didn't tell anyone else about this, so I made sure to make a note of it.
I gave her back her notebook. She said it was her granddaddy Magnifi Gramarye's notebook. He used it as a diary and to write down new tricks, some of which only members of the Troupe have seen. It was also under lock and key.
She repeated the creed that was written inside: "A true entertainer always keeps a smile on their face."
I like to think of this blog as a bit of a notebook too!
I then told Trucy that we found it mixed in with Mr. Reus' belongings and she was shocked, saying there was no way he would've tried to steal it. It would've made for a motive though, being all packed with secrets like that.
She apologised for the mess with the contract and said she would be willing to use her magic to help, though she was better at making stuff disappear. I said not to worry. It was time to check out the dressing room again and the understage too.
