⇨ THE EPILOGUE

[ringleaders]

Who: Everyone!
When: Day 61
Where: The Carnival
What: After all the rescues team return, it will be matter of tending to the wounded and getting the hell out of dodge. The Ringmaster can handle the fleeing part, but someone will need to look after those in the medical tent. Or, maybe, you just want to show up and ask what the hell happened.
Warnings: Some messed up consequences of faerie fuckery.

IN REPAIR↴ As the minutes tick past, all four rescue groups will eventually return. Everyone in the carnival is encouraged to help out, ensuring that the rescues and victims both are taken care of after the fact. You can tag in here as rescuers taking care of business around the carnival, victims recovering, or other workers checking in to see what's going on. This log is for general aftermath threads, made by anyone.

Tyki laughs heavily, though muffled in his throat, with a more deep seated chuckle than anything else. He's not going to correct him. He's been called worse. His fingers do tighten on his arm and he's almost tempted to sling him over his shoulder for it. He just doesn't.

So much for asking, not that he doesn't already know where his trailer is from stalking anyways, and he heads in that direction, "Don't worry. None of them are out right now." A half lie, given there was always one lurking nearby and a few were scattered throughout the carnival.

"Okay good, keep 'em away, bugs are the worst... 'specially demon bugs..." That's mostly muttered to himself as he lets Tyki pull him along.

Then he belatedly realizes they're walking and has to ask, "Wait, where're we going?" At least Shima's trailer is currently the first row from the Big Top so it's not hard to find even if Tyki weren't the stalking sort.

"I've been trying to keep them away from areas you usually haunt. Or at least keep them out of sight." The one at the Cookhouse, for example, is hidden in one of the lights.

"To the trailers unless there was somewhere else you wish to sleep? It seemed you were heading in that direction," he says with that conman's silvertongue he has. No need to make it that obvious right away.

"Huuh.. creepily considerate of ya," he sounds genuinely appreciative, despite the 'creepily' slipped in there, referring mostly to the bugs but possibly about the general helpfulness occurring. Tyki's explanation was natural enough, but it's still happening for no real reason that Shima can discern, so apparently it's weird now.

"Are you not use to assistance?" he asks to further bluff his way into the situation, to put him more at ease. He'll note the creepily regardless but he'll con if he has to. "We do work in the same department. You did seem out of sorts." Hmm, was the kid more perceptive than he thought?

[worldlyafflictions]

He was the Harbringer of Perception, after all, not that he ever introduced himself that way. Though if he's reading Tyki well at the moment, it's entirely casual and not out of any particular effort to put Tyki off or call him out. Mostly it's just his reflexive way of relating to people.

"Aha, it's just surprising! Is Acquisitions that buddy-buddy? Not ta say it'd be bad ta be buddies." He pats Tyki agreeably here with his free hand as they (or mostly Shima) stumble along.

Well, at least what he got from Wismuth was that booty shorts, while somewhat functional and stylish, weren't all that comfortable in the long run. Other than that, he hadn't gained much about the other due to the fact the Tease seemed to distract him over anything else. "The Acquisitioner might take some work. He's a rather stern fellow but still good, if you hadn't noticed. Zangetsu and I get along exceptionally well. He's wild but a lot of fun. I see no reason why we can't be 'buddy-buddy' as you put it."
