He looks up at fae, eyes weary and sporting some rather impressive bags behind his thick glasses.

Yeah, just… Work things, you know? Feels like I’m the only person in the entire place with more than half a working brain. I mean, someone just requested reimbursement for ‘emotional damage caused by the creepy, all knowing director’. Yeah, the director is strange, but how in the world am I supposed to calculate that?

Alexander falters on his way home from the Institute, spotting a person in varying shades of purple sitting on a nearby bench. Fae looks quite pleasant, honestly. There’s a bit of a strange aura around them, and Alex can’t help but feel drawn to them. He sits down on the bench, a few feet away, sighing heavily and relaxing.

Fae notices him immediately, tensing up just slightly. The last thing fae needs is another person. Oh well, let's just pretend to be busy. Fae pulls out a book,and starts to read it. Who would ever bother a reading person, right?

//OOC post!!

hi it’s the little person in the phone, i’ve been sick the past few days so apologies if replies take a bit or if they’re shorter than usual!! i should be back on my feet soon :)

[the-stranger-you-call-asher]

it hums, considering the answer.

well, it’s what i’ve always known. at least i think it’s what i’ve always known. i know i’ve always been a performer, an entertainer.

The Stranger sees a person sitting all by themselves at a park. Would be a shame if it approached them.

ohohoh! a new friend? i do love seeing new faces. gives me so much inspiration on how to paint myself next! mind if i join you?

without waiting for a response, he approaches, sitting down in an eerily fluid motion, a wide grin on its painted face.

[the-stranger-you-call-asher]

it stares at the new eyes on the other, silent for a moment. then it giggles.

oh, how exciting! i don’t think i’ve ever met someone with ties to the Mother! i’ve always had something of a soft spot for the Web; puppetry is an exquisite performance art!

they giggle as they watch the other pet the worms, leaning in a bit closer.

such good little friends they are! and so cute, too.

The Stranger can see a lonesome person in the park on a nice, rainy day. Through a connection to the fears, it is made very apparent that the person is very, very afraid of clowns.

@dirtcup-blog

they smile wide at the sight and the knowledge. luckily for this new person, it is not a clown. unsettling, probably made of little more than rubber, but not a clown. they wave happily at the person, approaching quickly.

hello! aren’t you a sight, hmm? all by yourself on such a dreary day. you know what always cheers me up on a day like this? a performance!

[the-stranger-you-call-asher]

spiders are interesting little things, aren’t they? lots of people are scared of them, but i like the way they dance as they weave their webs.

it smiles, seemingly oblivious to the other’s discomfort.

it smiles wider, looking down at the worms with nothing more than simple curiosity.

such a treat, to always have loyal friends by your side! they saved your life, you said?

their eyes widen in intrigue.

they laugh, and while the sound is still eerie and uncanny, it’s much less threatening.

silly little things! how long have they been your friends?

they frown, but pull the ticket back.

alright, then. but now i am curious, what do you like to do for fun? i’m afraid i don’t get out much, and i rarely meet people who dont enjoy the circus, or people who don’t work there.

it looks at them intently, mismatched eyes boring into them.

oh, i’m sure you don’t mean that. you’ll love your time there! besides, what else would you do for fun?

they giggle again, clearly overjoyed with how uncomfortable the other is feeling.

have you ever been to the circus before? it’s quite a treat, i assure you.

it stares for a good long while at the other person on the bench.

i don’t think i’ve ever met someone who doesn’t enjoy the circus. what… what do you do for fun, then?

who doesn’t enjoy a good show from time to time, hm? a chance to lose yourself in the crowd, the performance.

its smile widens, skin stretching just a bit too far.

of course! i do so love seeing new friends in the crowd. you’ll have a wonderful time! i’m told our shows are… transformative.

it cocks its head to the side in an oddly fluid motion, neck joints popping.

well, we all have our preferences, i suppose. tell me, have you ever been to the circus? i think you’d find it absolutely delightful!
