It's been a while but the boys are back! Under the big top once more: Sal & Yoyo are back!

Ladies, gentlemen, and dolls of all ages—

The tent has been raised. The lights are on. The boys are back in town.

After a mysterious vanishing act that left fans clutching their popcorn in suspense, the iconic duo of Sal and Yoyo have burst back onto the scene with a full redesign thats fit for their high end feels.

Let’s start with Sal. He’s still calling the shots, but this time he’s doing it in a velvet tailcoat with gold embroidery that could hypnotize a tiger. He’s got that “I own the circus and your attention span” energy. Charisma? Through the striped roof.

Then there’s Yoyo, everyone’s favorite agent of fun. He’s trading in bells and slapstick for something a little sleeker—think mismatched patterns, and a grin that says “I may or may not have set something on fire backstage.” He flips, he flops, he serves—and he knows it.

A two-man traveling show that fits in the palm of your hand— they’ve kept the charm, turned up the drama, and added just enough madness to make you ask: What are they planning next?

This isn’t a reboot. This is a revival. A glitter-drenched, spotlight-stealing, standing-ovation-worthy return.

Sal and Yoyo are back.

And the circus has never looked so good.

Hello folks! Today we're discussing the voice-claims for our favorite gaylords! Starting with Sal!!!!

Sal:

Sal has a pretty distinctive voice, characterized by a higher pitch with frequent fluctuations in intensity and tone! Xyr voice-claims would be

Rule #15 - Four aces by Fish in a birdcage

Rule #21 - Momento mori by Fish in a birdcage

and

The cult of Dionysus by The Orion Experience

Yoyo:

Yoyo's voice can also be characterized as distinct! This lovable jesters voice is quite feminine, possessing a tired drag caused by its damaged voice box (to be discussed in later lore!) Its voice-claims are

Introduction

A face that made the world stop

!!!Asks!!!

What’s it like going to a restaurant with Sal?

[the-clowners-blog]

Yoyo gasped and quickly ran toward the kitchen, he usually went there during these awful fights..

He slid under the table and covered it’s head.

“YOU WENT THROUGH MY SHIT?!”

Sal cries, feeling like xe was being stolen from or even cheated by xyr own boyfriend.

Yoyo stayed quiet, holding onto a bottle xe had in xyr office. It doesn’t want Sal to have it.

“Dont fucking- stop hiding! Oh my god- do you understand how expensive that shit is?! Give it back!!! It’s mine!!”

He pinched the bridge of his nose and took off his hat, trying to stop himself from getting *too* angry.

“..it’s not good for you..”

An eerie voice called back to him. Hearing it made Sal clutch his hat aggressively and angrily placing it back on his own head.

“It’s my problem! Stop giving a damn and give me my booze!!

Ugh…you’re impossible…you did this to Clyde as well right?! Moron.”

Sal steps back for a moment and turns red, trying to calm himself down. He put a hand on the wall and gripped it tightly hoping Yoyo wouldn’t respond to his stupid remarks.

“…clyde…”

Yoyo mutters and holds the bottle tighter. Remembering that name made it want to cry.

“Enough about clyde…you can’t just mention him in every argument we have thinking you’ll win because of it…”

Sal looked at the floor. An impossible anger flooded into him as he tried to keep himself straight, the ground twisted and twirled to his drunkenness and soon he blurted out.

“Why can’t you be more like giggles huh?!”

Realization sets in. He continued to step back until there was no more ground to tread on.

“…..giggles…”

The jester mutters, putting the bottle down and getting out from under the table.

“…Yoyo I’m sorry, I didn’t mean-“

Sal was interrupted by the abrupt movement of his now somewhat terrifying boyfriend who walked toward the door humming a sickening tune that somehow made xyr vertigo worse.

It put its mitten on the door and then abruptly turns its head around to a worried Sal.

“….have I ever told you how funny you are…?”

It said, Its voice cut through the tension from the argument like a freshly sharpened deli knife into a thin slice of meat and made Sal more anxious.

The toy smiles at xem and then walks out. Slamming the door behind it.

“Wai-“

Sal flinches at the loud noise and brings himself into a hug, holding his own shoulders tightly and taking a big inhale.

A day passed. Sal couldn’t even focus on his work anymore. Staring at the computer screen made his head spin.

Suddenly a purple mitten pushed the door to his office open. Sal stands up in relief and briskly walks toward the door.

“Love!! You’re finally-…”

He opened the door fully. Seeing Yoyo who no longer had a face. Only two lights in the place of its eyes. The sight sent him backwards and he hit his back to his desk.

“Yoyo?!”

“….you didn’t forget about Yoyo did you….? Yoyo would be-[[ever feel down? Ever wish you had more friends? Well meet your new best friend, Y——òøœÿœ çłœwññ…]]

Yoyos voice filled with static. It walked toward Sal slowly, it was holding something.

“…yo…yoyo?? Hey you need to relax okay? I’m sorry and-

….whats…that in your hand.”

Sal points a shaky finger toward yo-yos mitten. It had a bloody mask entwined with its hand.

Yoyos body twitched.

“You want yoyo to be…[[Bigger and better!!! New cirque italia toys will leave you-]]

D ea d…”

It clutched the bloody mask.

“….Yoyo…you- you’re scaring me-“

Yoyo then placed the mask over its broken face.

…it…it was giggles’ face…

“…Why dear..? You want me to be—[[all new! Giggles the clown!!! Only in stores for a limited time so get her while she’s still—]]

A li ve…”

It inhumanly walked. Unsettling. The way her face was plastered onto his… it made Sal sicker and sicker as Yoyo only grew closer and closer.

“I’m…tired. Of being compared to her…

But, hey.”

It places a mitten on sals face.

“Now there’s no one to compare me to..”

Suddenly it trips over a bottle and whirrs around like a broken machine. Soon it falls backwards and goes into a sudden sleep.

Sal shakes in fear. Not wanting to wake his boyfriend up. Then he noticed strings on his desk, then looked back at Yoyos shattered face.

“…I can…fix this.”

He said.

Yoyo: To answer your question, we don't go out to eat all that often but when we do, Sal takes me out to super fancy places. It makes me feel really kinda bad that he drops all that money on me. He does most of the talking. I just wish he'd stop ordering stuff that cost more than our rent-

Let’s get this out of the way, character introductions.

Yoyo

Yoyo is a toy jester with a real attitude. Goes by he/it.

Once was on a tv show that went straight to vhs, and was a cancelled project of cirque italia, this clown is apathetic and tired of everything!

Made to be your best friend.

Sal

Sal is a toy ringmaster— the face of cirque italia as a brand. Goes by he/xyr

An icon on screen and a dick every other time, this powerhouse of a glass figurine will get on your nerves while selling you several millions of dollars worth in diamonds.

Yoyo and Sal are in the worst and best relationship! Watch their antics unfold and ask these gaylords questions!—there is still more lore to be discovered.
