Yao Lu, The Manic Clown

Among them was Ming Yue, dressed in white robes and wearing a half-mask that covered her mouth and nose. Looking around her, there were several lines, each one had dozens of people and they all shuffled along. 

"There's quite a lot of people... is there going to be enough space for everyone?" she wondered. 

Following the line, she looked ahead at the entrance where there were several guards, checking everyone's identity token. She felt her pockets, checking to make sure that Qing Ji's token was on her. 

"I should be able to get in", she thought to herself. 

With the lines of people waiting to get in, there was a bit of talking around her. 

"Do you think that the rumors are true? Do they have a real fairy in this year's auction?"

"I mean they have to! If they don't, how many people would be angry with such deceit? Let alone the auction, the city itself might be trashed!"
