As the funhouse loomed ever closer, Maxwell let his mind wander to the curious matter of the marionette's movement. It wouldn't be too tricky to stick some electronics into those ballons, pass the wires up through the strings, and stick some robotics into the doll itself, assuming it to be hollow... though that didn't explain the handle and besides, why so rational? If a couple of boxes can move inanimate objects to a whim... erm...
Were the doll truely sentient, it might have noticed at that point the sudden disappearance of its convoy. But it didn't. Fair enough. Besides, Maxwell hadn't exactly vanished. He was just taking the scenic route.
