Hey, @amourfeint it’s TIME FOR SPOOKS! Are you ready Mathilda?
The carnival was in full swing. The sounds of the rides mixed with the screams of the people having a good time filled the area. None of them ever suspecting that at every moment they were surrounded by demons who were waiting to feast upon them. Typically, Jack would wait within his room or workshop until it was time for the final show to begin, however, it seemed one of the demons had gotten a little impatient and had already attempted to claim one of the humans. Thus, he had to head out a bit early to go and deal with that, but at least he’d likely be getting a new soul to add to his collection. After all it wasn’t like they could actually allow the human to live after what happened. Didn’t want them giving away the surprise too soon.
Eventually he was soon in the backstage of where the final show was to be held where the demon at fault was curled up looking very guilty in it’s cage. The human it had tried to snack on was sitting nearby being guarded by another demon, though this one had at least been smart enough to keep it’s human guise. Jack looked from the demon to the woman, his features ever unchanging as he speaks up. “I apologize for the little one here. It seems he got a bit impatient.” He explains moving to kneel next to the cage where the little demon whined softly. It was still young, so it would be forgiven, this time anyway. Which Jack assured by reaching through the cage bars and patting the little cat-like demon on the head.
