{ Mafuyu's expression goes flat again }

Okay now you just look stupid. You can quit it now.

I suppose I will not smile around you from now on Tenma. Unless you annoy me. Then I will smile at you until it shuts you up.

[Tsukasa hums as he strolls through his home, looking into each direction as he searches for Mafuyu. He's admittedly curious as to what kind of smile Mafuyu gave to Emu, considering how much it terrified Emu. He doesn't believe he'll be frightened by it, if you were to ask him. Amused? Most certainly. Scared? Impossible to imagine.]

[His thoughts are interrupted as he finally spots Mafuyu.]

Theeere you are!

[Tsukasa calls out, sliding over to greet Mafuyu.]

Gee whiz, you will not believe how long it took for me to find you! Far, far too long!

-@jester-puppeteer-kasa-official

{ Mafuyu looks over as he hears Tsukasa's voice. He smiles pleasantly at him, after all he should be well behaved for the person who gave him a place to stay.... even if that person is an actual literal clown }

Oh apologies I didn't know you were looking for me Tenma. Is there something you need me for?

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Mafuyu raises an eyebrow at Tsukasa's sudden pause. It seems the clown isn't immune to secrets and pretending himself }

I see...

{ Mafuyu looks back at Tsukasa as he changed the topic back to Mafuyu's persona. Mafuyu expression is flat as Tsukasa talks but when he finishes... }

Is that so...

{ Mafuyu smiles again }

Then cry

[jester-mafuyu-official]

hm...

{ Mafuyu glances away as Tsukasa rambles about his mom. He realizes it was probably a mistake to ask about this, because now he just feels emptier. He wonders if his dad is worried about him }

You seem really close with your parents. It must be nice...

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Mafuyu was taken off guard as Tsukasa just laughs in response to Mafuyu insulting him. He was silent as Tsukasa spoke, pondering what he's being told. At Tsukasa mentioning his mom, Mafuyu began looking... distant }

Your parents are here huh... I didn't know that insanity was genetic.

...

what... is your mom like..?

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Mafuyu is silent as Tsukasa speaks to him, looking deep in thought over what he's being told. He can just... say whatever he wants? Surely if Mafuyu said something upsetting enough Tsukasa would change his mind about wanting to help him, become disappointed in him }

Are you really sure you want brutal honesty, Tenma? It's easy to say you'll accept it, but who's to say you won't change your mind about me "cutting off my persona" when I say something you don't like? When what's under my persona is something you don't like?

For example, you're incredibly strange Tenma. Strange and unnerving. There is something so fundamentally wrong with you that I can't wrap my head around it. Everything about this place is strange. And loud. You say that the circus is my home now, but what if the circus never Feels like home to me?

[jester-mafuyu-official]

An act...

{ The smile finally drops. Mafuyu doesn't look at Tsukasa in the eyes }

I... don't know how to stop acting. I don't what part of me is the act and what part is "me". To stop pretending is easier said than done Tenma. I... never had time to relax

[jester-mafuyu-official]

Huh...?

{ Mafuyu blinked at Tsukasa's reaction. He... didn't know what to say at first, just standing there awkwardly not saying anything. He hasn't had someone see through him like this before }

I'm just speaking in the way I speak to everyone. I don't see what's wrong with it.

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Mafuyu doesn't know what to feel about many things, the circus is especially one of those things. }

{ He has just gotten here, dressed up like a clown, and now is aimlessly wandering the place that's supposed to be his "new home" }

gasp!!!! you're the new member of the circus aren't you!!! yay i'm so happy to meet you!!

{ Mafuyu looks behind him to see a small clown girl with pink hair behind him. He goes to mask, being able to now that he isn't stressed out after running from home. He smiles sweetly at the girl and waves }

Oh hello! It's nice to meet you as well. I'm Mafuyu, thank you for letting me join your circus—

WAAAAAAAAAA?!?!?!?!

um...?

{ Mafuyu blinks in surprise as the girl suddenly screams in fear. Shaking as if Mafuyu was the most terrifying thing she has ever seen, a total departure from how sunny she seemed moments before. Mafuyu tries to keep smiling, hoping it'd calm the girl down }

Is something the matter? Are you hurt at all?

EEK!

{ The girl runs off in a fright, leaving Mafuyu alone again. The mask slips off as the girl is out of sight. Usually Mafuyu doesn't know what he's feeling but right now he knows he's confused }

...What a strange girl.

{ He wanders off again }

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Mafuyu holds onto Tsukasa's hand as he's led to the circus he was speaking of. He didn't say much, more focus on Tsukasa's hand. His mother's hand was always cold and yet the stranger's hand felt as if it radiated warmth. It felt... nice }

{ It was as they walked that Mafuyu had a realization }

Mafuyu. I realized I haven't told you it yet so that's my name. Mafuyu Asahina. Thank you... for giving me a place to stay, Tenma.

[@jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Today was a terrible day for rain }

{ Mafuyu rushes out the door of his home in a hurry. After a fight with his mom it became too much and Mafuyu had to run away }

{ It was too bad however, now that he ran for quite the while, that the truth was that Mafuyu had no where to really go. He wasn't necessarily close to any of his classmates, he couldn't go to any of their houses and ask to stay with them. Mafuyu's only option is to go back home eventually or get sick alone on the streets as rain poured on him }

{ Mafuyu slid his back down a wall and curled into a ball. The true hopelessness of his situation truly setting in. He sat there, unaware that someone had spotted him }

[Tsukasa isn't a big fan of rain. He's humming right now, but he wants to go back home as soon as possible. His pace is just a bit too fast, trying to go on his path back home. Despite how fast he's going, he still manages to spot a stranger his age left alone in the rain. They look lost. Very lost. Maybe even scared. Surely something happened.]

Hmmmm...

[Despite how he is, Tsukasa still has standards. That includes not letting a person get sick from staying in the rain too long. He strolls over to the stranger, bringing the umbrella above their head.]

Now what are you doing alone out here without an umbrella? You're going to catch a cold, you silly thing!

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ He stares blankly at Tsukasa's hand. Staying silent as he thinks over the deal he's been given. Despite the pure insanity of the situation he's been given, the answer is obvious }

I'll take the deal. I... don't really have a choice anyway. Despite how absurd your proposal sounds, I can't go back home... not yet...

{ Mafuyu's voice suddenly sounded weaker, almost scared, at that last part. He took Tsukasa's hand, making an observation as he does }

....Your hand is warm

[jester-mafuyu-official]

The... circus?

{ Mafuyu stares at the clown blankly for a moment as the clown, Tsukasa, speaks of his circus. Mafuyu stays silent, pondering his promise of freedom }

Is there a catch? What is it that you want from me in return of being given "freedom"?

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Mafuyu stared at the strange boy silently for a moment. He almost doesn't know what to say. It feels strange to tell someone what's happening to him, especially a clown he just barely met }

I... had a fight with my mom...

{ Mafuyu looked away from the clown }

She had always wanted me to be the "perfect daughter"... her expectations were slowly crushing me no matter what I did. I realized that... there's nothing I could do to be that "daughter" she wanted..

{ Mafuyu grabbed onto the sleeve of his girl's uniform from his all girls school tightly, looking visibly pained }

It became too much for me so I... ran away. I have no choice but to go back soon though, I don't have anywhere to go...

[jester-mafuyu-official]

{ Mafuyu is caught off guard by a sudden voice talking to him. Her quickly looks up, even more baffled to see a clown staring down at him. Complete bizarreness of the stranger's appearance along with just the general stress off his situation makes him unable to even attempt a fake smile at the stranger }

...what? who are you?
