Cirrus had assumed that everything would go to plan, on stage tonight. Rituals were usually easy, and then she could go back to hanging out with the other Ghoulettes. Even the new Papa, Perpetua V, had allowed for a smooth transition. Definitely smoother than the transition between Terzo and Copia, anyway!

However, tonight was different. She was mid keyboard playing, when she noticed there was something slightly wrong with the white keytar resting on her podium.

Cirrus tried to work out what was wrong with it, while keeping on time with the rest of the band, but it was clear that whatever it was, would definitely affect her ability to play the solo during Mummy Dust.
