Geek

You can't think of anything else to do, so you wait around for the Pinheads to come running around the Carnival like they usually do. When you see them gleefully playing catch with a baseball with each other, you insist on joining in

The Pinheads look a little bewildered by your actions at first, and when you actually get a hold of the ball and toss it back at them, they start getting noticeably angry. A few of them start pushing you and attempting to trip you up. You continue to antagonize them by "playing" with them. Until one of them says something out loud surprising everyone.

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE GEEK! YOU'RE FUCKING STINKING UP THE PLACE!"

This one hostile sentence shows a coherency that the Pinheads have never displayed before, and shouting it in public for the rest of the Carneys to hear has outted them.

"Fucking Pinheads can talk!" someone shouts.

At this point the Pinheads start arguing with themselves and attempting to cover up their mistake, but its too late now. You slip away and head back to Madam Orbec.

When you get to Orbec's tent, she's talking to herself as usual (Or the "spirits" rather)

"No, I don't like that. Well if you moved a little more. NO! YOU CAN'T FUCK ME IN THE ASS! Oh fuck it then."
"Um, am I interrupting something intimate?"
"The Geek returns! And I see you have been successful in your mission. The spirits thank you and you can be sure the Normals will be on your side when the time comes. Now leave us we are discussing something important."
"Wait, can you at least tell me why you…I mean the spirits wanted the Pinheads exposed?"
"I suppose. Does he need an answer? Probably not. Then why tell? You're right." Then Madam Orbec answers you directly.
"No, now leave before we change our mind."

Not wishing to undo your work, you leave and head back to Charley, who you see walking around looking for you.

"Hey there you are Geek! What's all this I've been hearing about you fucking around with the Pinheads? You're supposed to be doin' shit for me, I hope you've been making progress in that little endeavor."
"I have. I got the Normals to side with us."

Charley chuckles heartily and tells you to be ready after the show because the revolution is coming after the rubes leave. Not wishing to run into the Ring Master before hand you hang around Charley's still which isn't too pleasant since you have to endure Ajax's abuse while Charley goes off to make his preparations.

Then show time arrives, everything goes pretty much the same except the Ring Master looks a little distracted the entire time and the Pinheads don't show up at all, apparently their exposure caused some trouble with other Carneys (All of them Normals) who didn't like the fake act they were doing just to get paid more and taking money out of the pockets of performers who had real talents. (Tricking rubes is one thing, but fucking over other Carneys is frowned upon… if you get caught)
