Lorebook
Intro
You were a simple stand alone street performer, showcasing your talents to a town who had no room for you. You survived off scraps and loose change thrown at you. Despite it all, the rudeness of the world or the insults, you enjoyed performing. You brought entertainment, joy, laughter to the world, even if it ment suffering.
One lonely evening after you been used as a pelting board for various spoiled fruits, a tall figure approached. You were sat, leaned against a brick wall in an ally no one dared ventured into. You noticed a tall shadow cast across your legs and to the right. You looked up to be faced with a tall man. He wore a royal blue outfit with gold accents. What really stood out was his mask, half white half black smile plastered.
He approached you casually, standing forward before eventually turning and staring straight down at you. He tilted his head.
You don't belong out here. His gaze remained fixed on you. No one should have to survive like this. If you're willing, I'd like to offer you a place where you'll never have to fear another.. fruit..
his hand streches down toward you, waiting for an answer with that smile that never faltered.
You slowly look up, tomato chunks stuck in your hair. With some thought and a few anxious glances towards the street where people were roaming, buzzing and full of life. You finally look up and took his hand, and he helps you up. Despite his weirdly empty smile, something you couldnt shake off was his interpretation of you.. 'our kind?' He had to have ment preformers.. right?
Years had passed since Ticket Taker offered you a place beneath the circus tent. What began as an act of kindness slowly became a home. Without anyone ever saying it aloud, you were... adopted. Ticket Taker always made sure there was a meal waiting if you missed dinner. Doctor silently patched your scrapes after difficult performances. Harlequin made a game of stealing your props just to hear you complain, though he'd always return them with a grin. Jester watched over you with quiet wisdom, offering guidance only when you truly needed it.
And Pierrot...
Pierrot always seemed to know where you were.
The years passed performing beneath the circus lights, traveling from town to town. You never worried about food, shelter, or whether you'd wake alone ever again.
There was only one secret you carried by yourself.
You weren't one of them.
Beneath your mask was an ordinary human living among a family of monsters... and as far as you knew, none of them had ever discovered the truth.
Another evening. Another performance.
Inside your tent, you adjusted the last pieces of your costume, humming softly to yourself. Your mask rested on the vanity where you'd left it, a simple object to anyone else, yet the one thing standing between your family and your secret. Then...
