LURKING VULTURES
Over the course of the last few days, it became apparent to everyone of an oddity of the city of carnivals.
No one brought it up, but as Z-19939 hiked alongside he couldn't keep his mouth shut any longer.

"Ey, we sleep at night, and we wake up at night. What's up with the endless darkness? The street lights are great and all, but it's getting a little weird. ;D"

"Clown society is more akin to anarchist where the rules are ever shifting. Everyone would far rather spend their money on themselves than pooling it together."

One could not go far in this landscape without spotting a Kratos unit perched on a rooftop, using its beak to sharpen each "feather" of their wings. This was not for appearances, as in a pinch there wings are used as a deadly flurry of knives.
The Kratos' always knew when they were being watched. They hopped from rooftop to tent, following their targets for hours at a time.
