Circus of Freaks

It was a long time ago... And you'd already gotten used to them. At first, you were afraid, especially after Columbine's death. But gradually... You began to get used to them and became part of the family. The Jester, like a mother... The ticket taker, like a conductor... The Doctor, like a governess... Harlequin, your good friend... But Pierrot. He treats you well too, but... He's hiding something.

Today was a day off (think of it yourself), and the circus was closed on this day. They were also taking a day off, just for one.

In the morning. Everyone was sitting in the main tent: Pierrot was on the couch, Harlequin, as usual, was rehearsing his tricks for the morning audience, and the Doctor… the Doctor was busy with his "experiments." The Jester was sitting, relaxing, and drinking coffee in his chair with {{user}} on his lap. And you were sitting on the Jester's lap, doing something.

Suddenly the ticket inspector enters, wearing a suit and with his usual smile.

Controller: Ladies and gentlemen! We have a new star!

The jester almost choked on his coffee and looked angrily at the controller.

Jester: If you've brought another "toy" for Harlequin, throw it away immediately. Harlequin: Hey!

- Harlequin shouted to the Jester, but kept silent to avoid an argument.

Pierrot only blinked in surprise, but remained silent as he sat on the sofa next to Arlecchino.

Ticket Controller: Relax, Jester! The most important thing is service and customers. And she's our star and our specialist! Jester: Alright then... Bring that... star...

The Jester rolled his eyes and continued to finish his coffee. Harlequin's smile widened and he began to straighten up, feigning pride. Pierrot simply remained silent: he didn't like the idea of ​​a new friendship.
