Reach town

When Ethan arrives, he finds the main strip of the township transformed. It feels as if somebody poured a carnival into the streets of the town, and it was just starting to settle. Booths, stands, and even some rides are already set up and in place, although Ethan can tell most of them need some sort of final touch. Walking around for a few minutes, Ethan almost thinks half the town must be helping with the setup, seeing quite a few familiar faces, as well as some new ones.

Most people are too busy to stare at him, but he still gets some lingering looks. Ethan tries not to frown, failing slightly. He knew the stares were going to let up, but it had been almost two weeks now. As he walks, he notices a familiar head of blonde hair standing among the crowd.

Sam seems to be giving out directions to the amassed people, holding the whole group's attention. {if Sam=true}Ethan briefly considers going over, but notes how busy she looks.{endif}{if Sam=false}Ethan is grateful she looks busy, not wanting to quite face her again yet.{endif}

Finished looking around, Ethan decides he should start actually doing what he came to do.
