The trap is set… time to reel in the raccoon, or something! Hunting and trapping was more of Liz’s thing… In any case, you instruct Volka to pick an entrance and keep her eyes peeled… a shifty-looking Mzz’goe’virr, you remind her before dipping into the crowd, and a mage, to boot!
A faint “He’s wearing a boot?” barely manages to catch up with your ear as you shuffle into the crowd… the passengers spellbound as the Spinner takes her place on stage!
“Sorry for the interruption,” She begins in her soft, sultry voice, “This’ll only take a minute… you don’t mind, do ya?”
The cheers that follow would tear a lesser man’s eardrums apart... Guess they don’t mind! Good thing, too–it’ll be loads easier to track down her stalker if everyone else is engrossed by the tunes! Worming your way through the crowd with a few handy ‘s’cuse me’’s, you start to see what’s got everyone engrossed–it’s subtle at first, but as the Durher begins to gently pluck away at her Striilii, well…
You freeze.
The whole cart turns to statues as Lutza strums out a mournful melody that hits you right in the tear ducts… your teeth vibrating as she amplifies her whispers with a haunting echo and extra volume! You don’t recognize the names or the places she sings about, but by the end of the first few verses, well…
You’re SOBBING!
You’re not alone, either–the forest of fans surrounding you are in no better of a state: some hug, some sing along…
… But one onlooker isn’t as spellbound. Six yellow eyes… a toothy maw locked in stony concentration… oh, and a faint tingling on your skin that makes your hair stand on-end.
It’s gotta be him, you think as you wipe your teary eyes on your sleeves, you’ve never been more certain of anything in your life! Now if you can just keep tabs on this guy-
Your thoughts, Lutza’s song, and everyone listening are disrupted by a sudden strum of another Striilii… and from the startled look in Lutza’s eyes, you don’t think she has an accompanist!

Augmented by the same magic Lutza used comes a trill of several swiftly-plucked notes that tear the Spinner’s sad song to shreds… you might be a newcomer to this whole ‘music’ scene, sure, but you have a pretty good idea of what’s going on here:
It’s a CHALLENGE.
“LORDS AND LADIES! PATRONS AND PASSENGERS! ALLOW ME THE PLEASURE OF INTRODUCING MYSELF!”
Even with magical magnification you could identify that voice a mile away… following the rest of the crowd’s gaze, your eyes fall upon a familiar pint-sized performer striding through the parting crowd like she owns the damn place!
TZAH-TZIE!
