The Freak Circus with a cottage-core MC
“Doctor and the corn” - @sweetlicorice
So far 3 of the 5 circus members have met this forest human, two have returned fed and were gifted plants, one had returned with an attempt to be fed and plantless
Now the Doctor had an interesting experiment!
Will this human attempt to feed him as well?
He was eager to know their reaction to his towering visage…
Would they scream in fear? Would they attack? If they attacked him why didn’t they attack the other 3? So many hypotheses to be answered!
Doctor continued his travels towards the supposed house in the forest…
It’s quite the distance away…
Why did Pierrot travel this far out again?
He wondered what kind of plants this human kept. Perhaps they kept an encyclopedia of foraging? What stopped three of his pack from killing them? What will stop him from killing them?
He started to walk back when he heard a noise-
He remembered Pierrot mentioning that he heard humming…
He followed the noise and found…
It’s a decent patch, enough to engulf him completely…
Surely this friendly human wouldn’t mind if he just…
He munches on a cob while he continues his walk
It seems this human organizes their crops because all the tall plants are together, this time sunflowers!
He takes the head off one and starts picking off the seeds and eating them under his mask-
You were watering your plants and humming along…
the medicines, the crops, the berries…
You finally reached the back with all your tall plants, they act like a privacy fence for your backyard, and you see a sight that makes you freeze in place…
A man? TALL, dressed in all black, with a plague doctor mask…
If he wasn’t tall and intimidating like an owl bear maybe you would have actually tried stopping him…
And for a moment you both were still… just…
“Quite the lovely garden you keep!”
He practically chirped it
And all you could respond with was-
“Yea I take good care of it… when it’s not getting eaten by random bird men…”
He looked down and then back at you like he just realized what he was doing (not that you could SEE it do to his mask goggles covering his eyes)
“Ah… my apologies, I seem to have lost myself in your plants for a moment…”
He holds the half seedless flower head toward you like it could repair the offense…
“That’s alright, I planned to harvest them anyway”
You go to the next flower and take off the head
“Since you must be hungry, would you like me to show you how I like to cook these?”
He perked up at your offer so you began to walk towards the house
Once you were both in, you got all your supplies and ingredients, explained the purpose of each, and showed him the method of cooking the seeds.
Once you finished up you handed him a small tubaware of the snack, when he grabbed it you held on and looked him dead in the mask-
“Tell your coworkers I want my plates back, clean or dirty I don’t care, I want them BACK! And please return this when you’re done with it as well, thank you”
He nodded while taking the little box
“I will sweetie, your dishes will be returned soon”
With that you waved him off and finished tending to your garden…
Guess who’s returning the dishes?
