Elizabeth held a large pink sketchbook in one hand && a pencil in the other. Rudimentary pictures of balloon animals (though they looked more like tentacles than balloons) && figures dressed in shoes as big as their heads. When she had been searching online for ideas for a new look, she had come upon clowncore && immediately she'd been inspired.

❝ You! You're perfect! ❞

The suspicion in the clown's tone wasn't lost on Demon. He's held thousands of different conversations with thousands of different people across thousands of years. By now, reading others had become effortless. Hell, even without words, people are wonderfully transparent when you've had enough time to study them. Also, it was obvious to him because most people were wary of his presence. He can't blame them, either. They all had good reason to.

Ah, well. That simply meant Demon would have to steer the interaction somewhere more favorable. Put on a sweater face. Convince him he's in the presence of someone perfectly harmless.

What fun.

His gloved hands clapped together once, twice — feigning interest. ❝ Balloon animals ? How delightful. ❞ One hand rose, finger brushing thoughtfully along his goatee, as though he's genuinely considering the possibilities. After a moment, he lowered it again with an easy shrug.

‎ ❝ Sure. Let's see it. How about you surprise me ? I'm sure I'll love whatever you choose. I'm a huuuge fan of animals ! ❞

Might be one of the biggest lies he had ever told.

A shudder runs down Shino's spine. There's an odd presence behind him... Something disturbing. Brows furrowed, air serious, he turns on his heels to face...

A clown.

".........." The display of colors is a bit overwhelming, but it's the energy that doesn't sit right. This public entertainer certainly makes him uncomfortable.

“Well, it’s okay to be afraid.”

"Y-Yeah, I know it is. But.. But I don't wanna be afraid." Black Star insisted with a quivering voice. A clear indicator that the alien was in fact, afraid. "During the Rebellion, I was always scared, Hoops. B-But I don't wanna be that anymore! I.. I want to be brave.. like you" and her voice just cracked.

Touch was how Cheng Xiaoshi understood the world around him. He was open with his affection, gave it freely to those he loved and who loved him wether it be a hand on someone’s arm or a hug meant to comfort. It was how he expressed himself and sometimes he had a lot to say and very few words.

Like now! 

His hands were delicately cradling the clown’s face like the most prized treasure. Perhaps he was. He had yet to find out for himself. He certainly had been a breath of fresh air, maybe even a piece he had been missing. That was clear. The metaphors tumbled on and on in his head as he stared into Hoops’ eyes.

The clown’s giggle was infectious. It caused him to laugh softly, happy to hear such a happy sound. It felt like it had been much too long since he heard something so light and innocent. 

He smiled fondly at the pressure of Hoops’ hands on his. He didn’t answer him. The words wouldn’t form, they couldn’t. He wasn’t entirely sure himself what took him over, what led to him holding Hoops’ face so tenderly. 

Shrugging, Cheng Xiaoshi found he couldn’t look away. “I can always wash them.” He spoke softly as he idly stroked the clown’s cheeks. “Just one more moment like this, please.”

@nightmarehoops sent - “You look lost. Need some help?”

"Y-Yeah, I think I am lost..." In spite of himself he manages a self deprecating chuckle, helplessly looking around. "I-I'd really appreciate some help, thanks..."

“You look a bit down. Did you want a balloon animal?”

Bedeku would lift their gaze to meet the other's eyes. They lean back on the bench they were sitting at, adjusting their arms to rest them on the back of it.

“... Uh. Sure?” Geez, they couldn't recall the last time they talked to a clown, if ever.

There wasn't many things in this world Gabriel hadn't seen. He'd seen plenty of clowns. This... he didn't know what this was. Was it human? Maybe, it was shaped like one, but then again so was he and he wasn't human. Definitely not made by The Father's hand or at least he didn't think so. The archangel stared. He was entirely confused and unsure what to even make of this situation. Gabriel tilted his head before he spoke plainly the one question repeating on his mind.

"What... are you?"

The archangel's many eyes trail over Hoops trying to pick out any detail that would give away what he was looking at beyond him being a clown. The sharp teeth maybe? But Gabriel also had a mouth full of fangs and claws at the end of each finger. He wanted to pick the clown apart like a puzzle... Just what had happened in the time he hadn't been on Earth?
