If HABIT runs a haunted house, what role does everyone else have? Like who are the scarers and who runs the tickets and stuff?

Some of the Horrors along with a few humans help as scarers.

Bloody Painter works behind the scenes to create props.

Clockwork helps to keep groups moving, sometimes by snatching away a weak one or two.

HABIT is the "ring master" of the haunt. He hypes the haunt and then works inside the house.

Jester works as a scarer (obvious choice for a ghost) though sometimes he works security.

Skintaker works as a prop.

Briar would be dragged into it, probably stuck in a were wolf costume, chained carefully to a wall.

HABIT: Briar hasn't seen me in years, how should I get back in her favor?

Helen: Rationally convince her to follow you

Clockwork: Befriend her

HABIT: you guys are so right, I'm going to kidnap her

Clockwork: at this point I'm not surprised

Bloody Painter: at this point I'm surprised we try

HABIT handed Briar a brush. "Groom me."

And as much as Briar wanted to hit him with said brush. She didn't. Instead she took a look at Evan's , HABIT's current poor host, messy hair. "Fine. Sit down."

HABIT complied much easier than she expected. So she began to brush through his hair.

As she worked through his hair he started to purr. If he were anyone else, she would have almost thought him cute.

You stood across from HABIT. Summoned by him and misplaced into his throne room. Four sets of eyes watch you from the side lines. HABIT hardly seems to notice you from atop his throne. His head tilted back in a daze. You take a step forward.

His eyes snapped onto you. A confused and frustrated look on his face. Then as if nothing happened he lowered his head. His face turning more jovial. The rabbit that had been trying to wriggle from his lap was grabbed with a firm hand.

"Hello there." He purred out, his grin struggling to form. He dropped it entirely, opting instead to lean on his elbow and pet the terrified rabbit. "I've heard that a lot of you fucks have taken an interest in my lands and my clever worshipers." 

Clockwork and Bloody Painter shared a look. 

HABIT waved his hand. "But I know that you are all a bunch of pussy's. So I've decided to do you a favor. Give you the juice details without making you one of my rabbits." 

He stood up. His four Horrors, each donning rabbit masks, stood with him. He threw up his hands. "So get to it ya lazy bitches! Be invasive, explore, do as you please until I stop finding you fun." 

He squeezed the rabbit's neck and she began to struggle. Then all too suddenly the Horrors' strength broke the rabbit. Her head rolled down the carpet and her body hit HABIT's feet. 

"No pressure." The demon said with a laugh.

A silly idea: HABIT takes Briar on a tour thought his capital when he first captures him. He is extremely proud of it and he walks around boasting of all he and his little kingdom has done. But he's distracted for a moment, takes his eyes [and hands] off her. When he looks back, Briar is gone. HABIT is alarmed and furious, until Helen taps his shoulder and points in a direction, where Briar is crouched over a few well fed stray cats, cooing over them and petting them.

HABIT definitely dropped her hand while looking at some shrine to him.

Also once he realized what she was busy doing he'd drop everything just to join her. Even providing her with treats to draw in the more reluctant cats. 100% he offers Briar to take some of them home. I mean he has to try to keep her happy some way

HAHAHAHAHAH ITS DONE! THE CLOCKWORK STORY IS DONE, I might make a second part but probably not

HABIT loves baptisms by fire. He'll give you a little bit of information but only enough to survive long enough to learn. He's just preparing you for the battle feild. So why should he go soft? Maybe he should yell at you while your trying to hunt or tackle you while your scaling a tree.

So HABIT - how did you kidnap Briar? In your own words, what happened?

HABIT leaned against the doorway. A smirk danced on his lips. "It was a very beautiful and elaborate plan. First it involved obtaining a host with a dog, then I broke the little pups leg and put on my best concerned face."

He paused for a moment to grab a confused Briar. He couldn't get lost in the story when she could run.

"Then I took the dog to Briar's work and waited until we were alone. She was a bit scared of me. But I quickly subdued her with Clockwork's little knock out juice." He let out a little chuckle. "Honesty I would have shoved her into the dog crate if it was bigger. But that can wait till later."
