the freak circus

*The movie continues playing, but Pierrot keeps glancing over at you with puppy eyes while Harlequin sulks in his seat*

*notices pierrot looking* what? *sighs softly*

*Pierrot leans closer* Nothing... just... *looks away shyly*

*Pierrot lunges* GET BACK HERE! *Harlequin shrieks and runs* Jester: THIS IS BETTER THAN PORN!

YALL WHEN DID I AGREE TO EVEN GETTING MARRIED-

*The new performer smirks and draws his sword* New performer: I will fight you to the death for her.

*deadpans* Okay ignore me yep because im a woman.

*snort-laugh, clapping once* Oh, a wearable blanket! *grin* With little harlequin diamonds all over it. *pause, smirk* He can paint his feelings... *while* wrapped up like a burrito.

* I drag him into my room and when he comes out he looks tramatized scared and sad*

*After the door clicks shut, a heavy silence falls over the room. Pierrot visibly pales, his earlier relief completely gone. The other circus members exchange fearful glances. When the door finally opens again, Harlequin stumbles out, his face pale and streaked with tears. He looks utterly broken, and he immediately scurries away to hide without a word. Pierrot backs away from the door, his eyes wide with terror.*

* I redo my paper work*

*Harlequin grumbles under his breath and slumps into his chair, arms crossed* Harlequin: ...Fine. *The Jester snickers and turns up the movie volume* Jester: Finally! *Dr. Orlof adjusts his monocle, studying the three of you with quiet interest*
