@vangellive: Here goes my question, also, thanks for doing this dynamic, Neko and Mods! :3
<3 ((For TT: My darling Ticket Taker, I have heard your birthday is in this 28 of June, may I ask what's your favorite food or sweet?
Take care! <3
Is this question related to my birthday, by any chance? I have always preferred simpler desserts. A good muffin served with coffee or a fine tea is more than enough for me.
@aketsusoraart: For Ticket Taker: Good morning, dear Ticket Taker, would you allow Harlequin to have his motorcycle if someone from your family personally gave it to him as a gift?
No respecting member of my family would give someone like Harlequin the time of day, let alone such an irresponsible gift.
@beanofspace: To the Mister, with the classy top hat, Ticket Taker Sir, may I ask; How do you stay on top of today's modern fashion trends, yet still dressed as a fine gentleman? (i dunno- i blacked out for a second)
Trends change far more frequently than one might imagine. I make a point of keeping myself informed of such developments, though most of those changes are not really intended for someone like me.
@klaooe: Hi there! I have a question for Mr. Ticket Taker! Have you always held such high respect and regards for Jester ever since you first met him?
No. When I first met him, he was quite… different. Completely different, in fact. There was nothing about him that particularly caught my attention.
@orchidinthegarden: To Ticket: what is the most precious memory you have with all the circus members, the one you keep close to your heart when you have to push forward?
That's a rather unexpected question. However, one memory immediately comes to mind—the day we bought the trailer. It was a remarkable moment for all of us. Everyone was smiling, filled with excitement. For the first time, it felt as though we had a place that felt genuinely comfortable.
@hinata28h: To the distinguised gentleman, Ticket Taker. Do you have any favorite moments from your tent?
I must admit, I do enjoy watching people lose themselves in my mirror maze. They create their own terrors far more effectively than I ever could. All I do is provide the reflection. The rest comes from them.
@luadecristalduds: Para bilheteiro: na vossa opinião, o Sr acha que o conceito circo está decaindo? Hoje em dia as pessoas não vão mais ao circo com frequência (ao menos aqui no Brasil). Já percebeu este impacto ou ainda não? Tenha um bom dia
Translation: A question for the ticket taker: In your opinion, do you think the concept of the circus is in decline? Nowadays, people don't go to the circus very often (at least not here in Brazil). Have you noticed this impact yet? Have a good day.
O Brasil é muito vasto para se assumir isso.
What draws people in is the presentation. The image. The promise of something unusual.
Our performances are carefully designed to inspire a darker sort of curiosity than one would expect from a traditional circus. Thus far, we have yet to fail in selling every ticket.
That said, sentimentality has no place in business. If circumstances require us to pursue a different venture in the future, we shall do so without hesitation.
@lilithhound: To Ticket Taker *bows head* Good Good afternoon Ticket Taker. Since today is a celebration, I hope you get the chance to treat yourself to something nice for everything you do for the Circus. What sorts of things do you like/would you like to do as something for yourself?
How courteous, dear guest. I enjoy that.
I rarely think of my own pleasures in such terms. Perhaps I would purchase a new coffee for Jester and me to sample. He has a remarkably reliable sense for determining whether others will appreciate a particular indulgence. Besides, our disagreements over such matters provide a surprisingly entertaining use of time.
@mech1t4: Very happy 1st anniversary!!! 🥳✨This question is for Ticket Taker. What do you think is the hardest part of settling into a new city?
Aside from unfamiliar customs and languages, I would say local legislation presents the greatest challenge.
I make it a point to familiarize myself with regional laws before we establish the circus in any location. Avoiding unnecessary legal complications saves everyone a great deal of inconvenience.
@micchijans-blog: Hi Ticket Taker! You're one of the most intriguing characters in the circus, and I've always wondered about the people you meet every day. What's the strangest thing you've ever seen a guest do?
Intriguing? I would argue that my attire is among the least remarkable when compared to the rest of the troupe.
As for peculiar behavior, I have witnessed no shortage of it among our guests. I have seen visitors ask Doctor to remove perfectly healthy limbs. Others have attempted to enter restricted areas despite repeated warnings. Some request embraces from the performers. Others attempt to purchase them outright.
Frankly, dear guest, there are moments when the audience comes far closer to being unsettling than the attractions themselves.
