I'm back... now I work at McDonald's 🥺😭

You've been gone a while my dear.

[p0isonsnake]

(🐍)

I returned to Harlequin's tent, walking in to spend my 10 minutes wisely. Once in, I sat by his cage and my tail wrapping around his hand.

“Hey, Harlequin.. Heard what happened. I'm so sorry for your loss.. Don't beat yourself up too much for what you did. Your actions, the way you reacted.. It's all valid. He killed the one you loved. I'd react the same way too if the one I loved was killed.”

I looked at him, hugging my knees to my chest as I never left his cage. I wanted to stay with him forever, but I knew I couldn't do such. All I could do was be there for the 10 minutes I had.

*he looks at you before holding your tail and even giving it a little kiss* it's... Fine my dear. What's done is done

[azra-drawz]

I sighed, leaning against the cage as my tail tightened around his hand. I had to fight tears to be strong. For him.

“It might be done, but just know I'll be here. Through thick and thin. Promise you that.”

I tucked my hand into the cage, hoping to feel his touch once more.

[p0isonsnake]

*he leans into your touch, purring softly and nuzzling your hand*

[azra-drawz]

My thumb rubbed on his cheek, a weak smile on my face. My tail never left his hand, content with the contact we have for this predicament.

“Just know I love you so.. No matter what..”

I faced him more and rested my head against the bars of the cage, tears threatening to spill once more.

[corundumb]

[corundumb]

"Don't worry, I asked if they have a spare. She's looking. I just got black iced coffee." Almost on cue the barista called for them and Nix went to grab it. Glancing around, they're alone in the shop otherwise.

For once they have a bit of a height advantage with him sitting, so instead of giving it Nix raised the mask well above their head with one hand, and put the other under his chin. Lifting to make Harl look at them as Nix leaned close.

"Let me try." They mumbled before their lips met, a simple kiss before their tongue swiped his bottom lip.

[p0isonsnake]

*his eyes widened , completely caught off guard by their sudden kiss. He didn't reject the kiss however. He held the back of their head to deepen the kiss. His tongue slid into their mouth to share the cold liquid between them. He even let out a soft him before pulling away* how bold~

[p0isonsnake]

🐍

It wasn't hard to find out what happened, it'd been hours by this point. Initially Nixs plan was to just keep out of everything, respective of everyone's grief today. Keeping himself busy by cleaning Harls room of the damages, storing away what they think would be a trigger later. Replacing things, neutralizing scents. Anything to keep himself out of Jesters field, visually and by scent.

Nix contemplated throwing Harls phone his way, but didn't know the protocols here. They have to play things much more carefully than before. The cruelest thing they could do at this point is be a dumbass and get himself killed as well, it'd make the wounds so much worse for everyone.

To Nixs surprise, they got permission to visit... so they did, unsure what to expect, knowing damn well there's nothing that can be said as Nix walked past the guards.

Either way they had two plans; even if Harley lashes out and insults, they're staying in the tent just at a distance. If Harley needs it, they're staying next to the bars as close as they can be.

Either way, Harlequin's going to understand Nix isn't going anywhere. Not right now.

*His voice was hoarse after crying and wailing for hours. His nose twitched as he caught the scent of Nix* my dear... What're you doing here...

[corundumb]

In times like these Nix really wished Emma was around, if she knew this side of the Circus, she's so much better at this than they are. She usually knows what to say, comforting being second nature to her. The best Nix can offer is a bland imitation. They reached into a side pocket of the bag and grabbed a soft rag.

Nix frowned as they turned on their side fully, reaching with their free hand they wiped his face dry. Feeling a lot right now, while they didn't know the new mate at all Nix was prepared for their 'honeymoon phase' after the fresh marking. Not this. Harlequin seemed so happy.

Resting their hand on his cheek, holding his face with a stroking thumb, Nix.... felt a heavy, quiet guilt.

Inside they wondered if Harl would mourn this much for them too. At least a fraction. At least... someone other than their only family member missing them. How selfish. How disgusting.

Nix didn't care if it's uncomfortable, their hand moved around his back and pulled him closer to the bars. Gripping the back of his shirt, as if it could do something.

[p0isonsnake]

*he stopped crying after a while, his eyes opening once again and looking at Nix. The two sparkling emerald slits glowed in the darkness of the tent.* Obrigado...Nixy... If you can squeeze through... Please.. Come in. I want to hold you against me. To hold you.. Make sure you are really here.

[corundumb]

"I'm here, Harl." Their face scrunching a little, they examined the width between the bars but ended up needing to touch the space to feel them out. "mmm... I don't think I can."

Looking back at his green eyes so visible in the dark, they shouldn't have looked. Nixs face grimaced as they felt himself cave in real time.

He shouldn't try. He's going to get his head stuck.

Yet there he was, adjusting to his knees and gripping the bars. 'If I do get stuck at least he can laugh. It'd be better than this. Any of this.' Was the thought Nix had as they at least tried. If their head can squeeze through, then the rest can. It's not like they gained that much muscle living at the Circus.

[p0isonsnake]

*he shifted away from them a bit to give them room to enter the cage. He sniffles softly as well* come on...I believe in you sweetheart. *He watches them struggle, offering his massive claws to them if they needed his assistance*

[corundumb]

There was a moment Nix feared he was stuck, for real. The bars tight on his head hurt but he managed. After his head got through he took a moment to rub the sides. "... ow."

Definitely going to have a headache later from that, and leaving is going to be the same. But, not thinking about that now, Nix twisted and angled his shoulders to slide the rest of the way, taking Harls claws.

[p0isonsnake]

*he carefully pulled Nix into the cage with him and was quick to embrace them. His body shook as he held them close to his chest.* You.. Are here.. I'm not hallucinating.. *his Tendrils wrapped around the two of them, starting to cry again* I'm glad you're here..

[p0isonsnake]

@violetasintheroleplay

-💜 (The Caged Beast)

*A tiny fly buzzes in through, supposedly, one of the cracks in the tent. It circles and loops all around the place, looking like any other ordinary fly. It does eventually land on one of the bars of the cage, staring at the back of Harlequin’s head.*

*He had his back turned, tendrils wrapped around himself and his face buried in his hands. His ears were lowered.*

[violetasintheroleplay]

💜 *The egregore, after having been missing for 4 days now, is saddened to come back and see one of the loves of her life like this. Despite what she overheard Pierrot say, she just can’t seem to stay away for long.*

*She buzzes down to the floor of the cage and morphs into person form. She thought it was risky to do this, but she does it anyway: she sits down in front of him and scoots forward to embrace him with her arms and hair tendrils.*

[p0isonsnake]

Violet... *He sniffles before wrapping his arms around her and pulls her into a tight embrace. He sobbed into her, body trembling as he cried once again*

[violetasintheroleplay]

💜 *To see him return the hug is surprising, but she doesn’t question it for now. In fact, she doesn’t have any words to say at all for once. She just holds onto him and lets him cry for as long as he wants, occasionally using a hair tendril to soothingly caress his arm.*

*After a good chunk of time, she tilts her head back and looks up at him. She whispers super softly:* What happened?

[p0isonsnake]

*He sniffles before nuzzling her* Jester.... He.. He killed Athena.. And devoured her. I feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest. I know you didn't like her. Not a lot of people did.. But he said she was a threat to everyone here because of the journal. I..I knew about it. I knew she was going to get rid of it. Burn it.. She was a loyal joker. I knew she was curious.. But.. she Was my mate.I don't understand how he could act so rashly.

[violetasintheroleplay]

💜 *She doesn’t say anything yet again. She lets him say anything and everything on his mind. She missed him a lot.*

*The egregore was going to rest her hand over his chest in a loving gesture, but after seeing the cuts, the letters, across his chest, she pulls her hand away and instead rests it on one of his tendrils.*

I’m here. *She reminds him.*

[p0isonsnake]

I know you noticed...*he sniffles before moving to a sitting position.*are you upset by this? *He motions towards the new scars on his chest.

[violetasintheroleplay]

💜 No, my dear. Not at all. I understand…I think…you belong to each other. I can never be mad about that.

*Because it’s true. She can’t be angry at the loves of her life. Plus, she doesn’t know if those markings would still be sore. She doesn’t know how deep those cuts were, and the last thing he needs right now is more pain. Touching a recent wound doesn’t seem right.*

[p0isonsnake]

*he nuzzles her gently before kissing and licking her neck* I'm glad you are not upset. I'd hate to have you upset as well my dear

[violetasintheroleplay]

💜 *Even though she tries not to make the reaction too obvious, the affection makes the egregore absolutely melt inside, makes her want to sink further into his arms, and makes her want him to remark her over the bite scar that’s nearly fully healed on her shoulder, barely visible now.*

Please, my dear, wait, what if Pierrot comes in and sees? Can I even be this close to you? *She asks, confessing what she truly thinks those cuts mean.*

[p0isonsnake]

you are my mate.. Of course you can be close to me. He carved into me because he was jealous. Possessive. It doesn't mean he doesn't love you any less. It'll be fine. Trust me.

[violetasintheroleplay]

💜 *Now feeling more relieved, she cuddles into him, her hair tendrils tighten around him. She returns the neck kisses and even peppers some across his cheeks.*

I love you, I love you… *She promises, then returns the conversation topic to him. She imagines it’s difficult for him to not be able to hold his other mates.* I’ll stay here for as long as you want me to.

[p0isonsnake]

{Caged Beast event!]

[The Watcher stayed with harlequin for a while, sitting against the cage, mostly quiet other than normal chatter, before they speak up again.]

So, uhm... Do you happen to know any of Athena's favorite things? colors, hobbies, animals.. plants, even?

I'd heard of a tradition across some of the places I've visited; the specifics change, but the general idea's the same; essentially, jewelry made to remember the fallen.

They'd be made with charms related to things the deceased liked or were good at, or parts of their favorite plants, or the dirt and sand of their favorite place... Etcetera, etcetera

[Their hand drifts to brush against the feather pendant of their necklace.]

Point is, thought it'd be.. at least a good offer for something I could do for you. Maybe.

An alcohol themed one would be more fitting for her I think. She was a bartender after all. *He moves to lay on his side, stretching as best he can in the cramped cage.*

[th3-watchers-cr0wn]

Makes sense, makes sense.. It shall be done! ^^

[The Watcher offers one hand through the bars for Harlequin.]

[p0isonsnake]

*he nuzzles into your hand, purring softly* obrigado...

[th3-watchers-cr0wn]

Of course, my love; it's the least I can do for you.

[They smile warmly, gently caressing his face.]

[p0isonsnake]

@caramelcorvid (continued 🐍)

Sienna hadn't even questioned how mentioning herself had any effect in Jester's mind. All she cared about was seeing her mate was okay, and then once she confirmed he was okay, she could take some time to let Athena's death sink in so she could mourn.

Whe wiggled her way past the jokers in front of the tent entrance with a fleeting 'excuse me' before bursting into the tent. She saw Harlequin in his monster form for only the second time, horrified not at him but the fact he was chained amd caged like a prisoner in a place he called home. "Harlequin..!" She cried in disbelief before hurring over to the cage to try and reach him despite the bars.

Sienna... *His eyes glowed as he crawled up to bars and pressed his face against it so she could pet him. He carefully held her hand and licked the back of it*

[caramelcorvid]

She pet his head affectionately, giving it a few scratches as she voiced her worries "Why the hell are you caged and collared? They told me you tried to poison Jester but... After I smelled Athena..." despite the reality, saying it felt like cotton in her mouth "... Let me say I get your rage. You shouldn't be alone here."

[p0isonsnake]

I'm in here for attacking Jester and killing personnel...*he flicked his ear at the mention of Athena.*

[p0isonsnake]

true....but you still have my approval

thank you..

[p0isonsnake]

Stormie enters with a basket of hand-made snacks, "Did they get rid of the collar, hun? Are the kids still with you right now?"

Hello my dear. Yes to both questions. Pierrot... Must be talking to Jester since he's in the corner over there talking to a mirror. The children are asleep though.

[p0isonsnake]

if jester would've killed one of pierrots mates and then punished him for lashing out in response to that, would you also think that'd be justified? or do you only think it's justified if you're the one getting treated badly?

it would've been a lot worse. Pierrot is difficult to control when enraged. I'd be just as upset as I am right now. Believe me, I'm pissed at Jester for doing this.

[p0isonsnake]

Well ill be damned. Yknow....Jester will have my head for this but....valid reaction. You have my approval.

he's probably upset too. He doesn't like doing this to me

[p0isonsnake]

@the-pink-angel

"Harlequin, I forgive you. And please, I need you to forgive yourself too. Thank you for saving them. Thank you for saving me."

...,.. *he lowers his gaze* if there was any other way then I would've done it.. But.. I'm glad you forgive me my dear.

[p0isonsnake]

Evangeline:”Harley….would you like to help you “numb”the pain you’re feeling..?..I can do my best to help make you feel better…even if it’s just temporary…”

babygirl I don't want you to get caught or in trouble from the old man..

[p0isonsnake]

Wait wait wait BACK UP!

Hon.....dear god.....ok fill my in on EVERYTHING. No details left out.

*he explains everything to you, from his newly marked mate being killed and devoured to the rampage he had in the purple tent as well as attacking Jester with his poison claws*

[p0isonsnake]

Aki misses him so she begged me to bring him out today with me on the way to the academy

mini me will keep you safe

[p0isonsnake]

🐍

"Harlequin? My love...." The brunette kneel down next to his cage, closest to where he was curled up. Her hand reached through and gently petted him. The last time this happened it was because of her. "I'm so sorry love..." she whispered softly, wanting to comfort him in anyway possible.

Her face however was bruised. Black and purple from when she tried to restrain him in Jester's tent and ended up being thrown by his tendrils. She had just hours earlier become a Jester. Her uniform wasn't even ordered yet. Harlequin didn't know yet. And she was praying he hadn't recognized her in the tent. Or that Jester wouldn't look through her eyes and see what she was doing. Being eaten was not on her agenda

my.. Dear..? You're here.. Are you... You're hurt. *He nuzzled into her touch before using his Tendrils to stroke her cheek affectionately.*

[pinky27freak]

"I'm fine my love. It's just a bruise." She whispered her other hand gently grabbing his tendril so she could place a kiss upon it. "I'm sorry about Athena dear...... is there anything I can do to help?"

[p0isonsnake]

I want you to be here for me... Wait... Your eyes.. *his ears lowered* you're.. One the Jokers. Did I hurt you? Baby.. Were you in the tent during my rampage? I..I could've killed you and our child inside you..

[pinky27freak]

"My..... eyes?" She repeated before he finished, then it dawned on her. Her face paled a bit and she nodded. ".... to paraphrase, since he found out I wasn't human, that I needed to pull my own weight. I've been a guard before so...." Her face lowered and she continued in a whisper. "That all happened only a few hours ago... before Athena. I was in the tent...... the bruise is from that."

[p0isonsnake]

*his ears lowered before he tried to pull her into the cage. He sighed, then let go of her so she could slip inside herself* I'm... So sorry...

[pinky27freak]

Slowly she wiggled her way in. Her head getting stuck momentarily before she finally was in. "You needn't apologize love. I've done worse over a bottle of wine." Sge whispered, cupping his face gently and then kissing his forhead, cheeks, snout and finally hid lips.

[p0isonsnake]

*he closes his eyes, returning her kisses before gently cradling the back of her head. He purred info the kiss, even scooping her up and holding her against his chest as he kissed her*

[pinky27freak]

Patricia smiled slightly, wrapping her arms around his neck as her against his chest. "Don't worry love. I'll pretend not to see your other mates and talk with Jester." She whispered against his lips.
