Murder Tale VII: The Devil's Carnival

[Crow]

"My name is Kuroko Shirai." She pulled on her sleeve to show a green piece of cloth on her arm.

"And I'm from Judgement!"

The look Takeru gave her told Kuroko he had no idea what that was. "Well nevermind. We've been kidnapped against our will to a creepy carnival, and I'm not okay with that." Ugh this was was so devestating! Poor Sissy was all alone in the world with Kuroko gone! Oh no...nothing was stopping that damn troglodyte to making his move on Sissy! The thought of that made the teleporting Esper as pale as a ghost.

Kuroko pondered if she should try to use her Esper powers to escape this place, but escape meant very little if she had no clue where she was. So for now she had to play their little game. Having calmed down somewhat she'd continue talking to Takeru.

"Be careful...I'll try to protect everyone against trouble." She'd look over to where the clown man was standing. "Well...almost everyone."​

Soon enough Kuroko would find herself at the entrance of the carnival with Monsieur Loyal waiting to get in. She was tapping her foot impatiently on the ground as she waited. Kuroko was not looking forward to what was waiting for them on the other side...

"I too, aim to protect everyone here. All of us are in the same boat, so we should cooperate when we can," Takeru speaks to Kuroko while unleashing an array of equipment to be examined by Frederika, one of them being a little smaller than a big rig. "For the time being, I think it's best to follow the rules as long as it doesn't do much harm. I made a special request to bring my friends along, even though other people might see them as weapons at first glance..."

12 spherical yet near-identical objects orbited Takeru. "They're kind of... dormant, but letting them share my fun is the least I can do to thank them. I'm not so sure about this kind of fun though, but at least we're sticking together. Would you like to stick around me- us?"

Takeru ponders. "Judgement, huh? Well, it's nice to meet you... Shirai-san."

She looked at the young boy who asked whether or not he would be in trouble for breaking a rule, taking out a notepad and a pen. She quickly wrote a few words inside the pad, making grumbling noises. She never really liked having to deal with people breaking the rules; however, she was better than physically punishing a guest. "Uh, vhat's your name sir?" She asked, "And... Vhat rule did you break?" Frederika noticed the little child who wore a sack on his head. She smiled at him as she thought that he was making fun of Monsieur Loyal who she had knocked down several minutes ago. She was too used to have many unique guests, no matter how terrifying they look. So, this child almost seemed cute to her. However, the child seemed to then point to the male that she was talking with. "Ah... vhat exactly are you tryin' to tell me, kid? If it has to do vith this young gentleman I'm talking vith, it better be good."

Another odd male began to speak to her, complimenting her name. This was something else that Frederika was used to. Many guests tried the flattering move in order to slip by the carnival without any detection. Though, this policewoman was much more prepared for anything. She would have smiled at the male, thanking him for his kind words.

"Thank you, mister... Vhat is your name?" She honestly needed to know everyone's name before speaking to them. It makes things much more easier. The woman also had attracted another child who was covered in red clothing. The child had asked her if the policewoman had seen her parents, which was odd that the child wasn't with her parents in the first place. "Ah, child," She gave her a reassuring smile, "Tell me how your parents look like, and I'll have my eye out for them." Beginning to write again, she made a note to look out for the child's parents which she left room to write in details that could help her distinguish them.

It was then that she had overheard the young male who she talked to first as his conversation with another woman was about possessing weapons. Frederika reached into her pocket, taking out a silver whistle. Placing the whistle in between her lips, she would have blew on it, signaling everyone's attention. "Please, do not bring any veapons into the carnival! It could be very dangerous for you to have vem!" She quickly walked towards the ticket booth, asking for a huge bag that could be used to store several items. Frederika flipped the page on the notepad, bending a corner of the page as if the page she had was extremely important. She laid the bag in front of them, crossing her arms underneath her chest as her smile disappeared. "If you have any veapons, please bring vem forvard now! There are severe punishments for those who have these!" It seemed like the woman was not joking around this time. For some reason, it was extremely important for them not to have their weapons inside the carnival. Was it for safety precautions?

"I vould also like all of your names. At the end, you vill all be able to have your veapons back. If you refuse, you must give me a good explanation on vhy you vant to have it vith you!"

Poop. Now you will have to give up your weapons.

Kuroko would look down at the holster on her left thigh. Oh wow she only had one needle left. What about the other one on the right? Empty...well that was a bummer.

Grabbing the single needle from its holster she'd hand it over to Fredrika. "Kuroko Shirai and this is the only thing I have on me. You can have it as a memento to remember me by." Not like it had any sentimental value after all or had a ton of them back home. However her Esper powers Kuroko would keep to herself for the time being. It might become handy once they finally get to enter the carnival.

@Jeremi​

"We'll just have to stick out of any shady business I guess." Kuroko replied. "And it's nice meeting you too Takeru." If anything he seemed trust worthy at least for now.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!"

A loud, shrill, if somewhat muffled by a layer of spandex scream suddenly cut across the conversations of those with Monsieur Loyal and Frederika outside the carnival entrance, and anyone who looked towards its source would be blessed by the sight of the man himself. The red threads. The toned physique. The fantastic ass. It all came together to portray the greatest hero of them all, icon to millions everywhere and star of a surefire 2016 box office hit...

"That's right, everyone! It's ME! Your friendless neighborly Spider-Man!"

And shit it is nice not to have to worry about getting slammed with a billiondollar copyright suit for a change! Those network stooges at Fox might not've literally sewn my mouth shut this time, but the feeling was there.

"And I got something to say, so LISTEN UP sexy police chick! Whatever this is-- batshit child labor-driven remake of Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Willy Wonka porn spoof, or somewhere in between-- I can roll with it. Whatever. I was bored playing old maid with a blind lady anyhow. But how in the holy asscheek do you expect me to follow 666 rules if I know jack and shit about any of 'em?! I don't remember signing any designated dumbass contract! Is public squatting against the rules? How 'bout yoga?"

The man had drawn closer by now, and without waiting for a response he promptly hopped down on all fours and started doing limber stretches over Monsieur Loyal's prone position, little to no regard for personal space.

Hey, how are ya.

"You like this, gingerlocks? We call this one "downward dog". Yeah. You feel that? That's the chakra. Sssshhh, shh shh. I know. Mine's bigger than yours."

Without warning, he abruptly dropped out of his intense yoga stance to send a knee drop straight for the ringmaster's crotch. He flapped both arms out to his sides, switching his gaze back to Frederika as he rose to his feet.

"I can go all day, Frederick. If I don't know what the rules are then how do I know what to try and break?! I just end up doing random stuff! This system's bullshit, man! Bullshit!"

He didn't seem overtly hung up on it, though, as his tone abruptly returned to more neutral levels and he glanced down at his beloved weapons; which right now consisted of two empty holsters and one lousy katana on his back. Damn hobos. They must've picked him clean while he was out.

"Speaking of unwanted ball-touching, I happen to have a very good reason for wanting to keep stabby here on me at all times. See, I'm pretty sure I recognize Krusty the Kiddy Snatcher over there from my 11th birthday party..."

The man dropped his voice to a hush that was still pretty loud, making no genuine effort to conceal himself as he not-so-subtly pointed over at Hisoka with one hand, the other cupped at the side of his mouth.

"Name's 'Pool. Dead. I dunno if you noticed, Freddo, but there are like 7 kids here, and I happen to know firsthand what a traumatizing incident with a clown can do to a person. You don't want another me coming outta this on your conscience, do ya?"

But seriously, the idea of letting Jared 2.0 skulk around unchecked didn't sit right with him. That'd bump the age rating up to at least boycott levels.

He gulped in fear of the stern woman's gaze. Already, he knew wasn't going to be getting away with the rule he broke, "I... It's a rule about standing up to Loyal, I guess. He'd tried to upset Aika by telling her that her parents abandoned her... And I just spoke before I thought about it. I asked him why he would say something like that, and I guess you saw the rest involving the hitting and all."

"I can't stand it when people do stuff llike that, so... I'm sorry if I did break a rule," He shuffled a little, pulling out his well-worn and ordinary-looking journal that had been a grimoire at on point, "Luso Clemens, ma'am, and all I've got is my old journal. Nothing really special about it, at least not anymore."​

If Luso's eyes kept widening in surprise throughout the night, they were definitely going to get stuck in that position, "Wait, you mean you're Ashe?! H-Holy crap, that's awesome! Name's Luso, former head of Clan Gully! Back when I lived in Ivalice, Vaan and Penelo joined us for a bit and talked all about you as being an awesome queen!"

He paused for a moment, biting his bottom lip before continuing, "Hey... You wouldn't have another sword and a shield, would you? Maybe an ether as well? I couldn't bring my equipment back home, and I'm fresh out of energy for my paladin powers, so... As a friend of a friend, could you help me out, your majesty?"​

Ashe smiled at Luso. "Nice to meet you, Luso." She said. "I'm glad to hear that they talked about me. Did they also talk about Lemures, or Feolthanos, or Basch?" At Luso's question about weapons, Ashe shook her head. "I don't have any more. I'm sorry, Luso." Ashe said. She turned to Fredrika. "My name is Princess Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca. I come from the kingdom of Dalmasca. All I have on me is my Husband's sword. I also have A Phoenix Down, and three Hi-Potions.

"His coarse vulgarity aside, this...Deadpool has a point. Clowns are truly unnerving to say the least, like the little laughing one I suspect. The way they move, their faces..." She cringed slightly. "Though the little one, if he is indeed a clown, is a bit more dull. One punch and then pumpkin seeds all over the place, instead of colored confetti. Still..." She looked over the line forming. "The place is called Devil's Carnival. If the kids are in danger of being traumatized by a single clown-" Bazett glared over at Hisoka, making a mental note to keep an eye on him. "-Then I shudder to think what might happen once inside."

Well, ain't this just great.

It was time for Takeru to surrender his weapons.

"So, Miss... Frederika is that correct? My name is Tenkuuji Takeru. First name: Takeru. Last name: Tenkuuji." Takeru bows, being aware that Frederika did not follow Eastern naming systems.. "I wouldn't call these weapons, but I think they fulfil the criteria to be confiscated, and I cannot argue that they cannot. So for starters, I'm surrendering these."

After materialising a belt-like device around his waist, two swords emerged from it. He surrenders them.

"Eeeehhhhh..."

Sam was unsure of how to feel about Takeru. The many weapons that he had delighted the child persona that Sam tried his best to keep up. But the thousand year old pagan spirit that composed Sam's true nature wasn't sitting well with this man's colorful explanation of all his various gizmos. This wasn't Christmas, was it? Was he going to hand out any of these gifts? What about that cool bike? Sam was probably too small to ride it in his current form but he could always make himself bigger! Maybe once this carnival was said and done and Sam got his cotton candy, he could walk out of here happy as could be.

He'd made friends in Hisoka and Aika and he found a pet in Iggy. Then the four of them could ride off in style on that cool bike!

"Hehehe...."

He'd keep a close eye on Takeru and his well being, that's for sure. All because he was a concerned little sack baby of course.
​

"That's right, everyone! It's ME! Your friendless neighborly Spider-Man!"

And shit it is nice not to have to worry about getting slammed with a billiondollar copyright suit for a change! Those network stooges at Fox might not've literally sewn my mouth shut this time, but the feeling was there.
"And I got something to say, so LISTEN UP sexy police chick! Whatever this is-- batshit child labor-driven remake of Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Willy Wonka porn spoof, or somewhere in between-- I can roll with it. Whatever. I was bored playing old maid with a blind lady anyhow. But how in the holy asscheek do you expect me to follow 666 rules if I know jack and shit about any of 'em?! I don't remember signing any designated dumbass contract! Is public squatting against the rules? How 'bout yoga?"

The man had drawn closer by now, and without waiting for a response he promptly hopped down on all fours and started doing limber stretches over Monsieur Loyal's prone position, little to no regard for personal space.

"Oooh!"

Sam had seen many people dressing like up this man on Halloween! Mostly little kids who had disapproving parents, believing the character was far too grim and dark for that kind of stuff. But that's what Halloween was all about! It was a time for darkness and pretending to be someone you weren't! Sam embraced that thinking to it's fullest degree! He was a Celtic Pagan Spirit pretending to be a little boy in a creepy costume! How much more imaginative could you get? Though Sam did tilt his head at some of the comments Deadpool made.

Even as old as he was, still some things that flew over Samhain's head. But Deadpool was creative and funny and that's all that really mattered to the giggling spirit.

"Heheheh!"
​

"His coarse vulgarity aside, this...Deadpool has a point. Clowns are truly unnerving to say the least, like the little laughing one I suspect. The way they move, their faces..." She cringed slightly. "Though the little one, if he is indeed a clown, is a bit more dull. One punch and then pumpkin seeds all over the place, instead of colored confetti. Still..." She looked over the line forming. "The place is called Devil's Carnival. If the kids are in danger of being traumatized by a single clown-" Bazett glared over at Hisoka, making a mental note to keep an eye on him. "-Then I shudder to think what might happen once inside."

Dull, was he? That wasn't a very nice thing to say! Sam couldn't help but be made out of pumpkin seeds and all the gooey stuff that entailed! It's what the witches who made him composed his being of and so that's how he'd be! He could have stopped the punch or simply moved away from it. But where was the fun in scaring a little people when your head got cracked wide open and there was not a drop of blood. But pumpkin seeds as far as the eye could see. Hopping back and forth from one foot to the other, Sam looked Bazett over.

"Heh."

Sam may not have been a clown. But he wasn't above mischief and so Bazett would need to keep an eye on the sack baby. If only to avoid getting tricked rather than treated at this Carnival. But all of this nonsense aside, Sam's question still hadn't been answered! Whether or not he could keep his lolipop on his person! He wouldn't hurt anybody with it! Not much at least! Maybe holding it out from sharp corners so they'd trip over it and embarrass themselves. That'd be pretty funny! But what if he got hungry and wanted to eat it? These carnies thought they'd strip the physical embodiment of Halloween's sole remaining candy away from him?

Oh boy, they would have to pry it from Sam's cold tiny fingers.

Continuing to hold the lolipop forward, Sam hopped up and down to try and catch the police woman's attention. Which seemed like it'd be easier said than done given Sam's height stature compared to everyone else! Why did grown ups need to be so tall anyway?

"Ehhhhh?"

As to be expected, little of an answer was given to Frisk's question, the child ignored underneath more of the rambunctious and audible individuals trapped in this dark, twisted festival. From 666 rules to maniacal laughter, the hub of insanity barely faltered the iron-willed human. Frisk had seen a lot after her fall at Mount Ebott, his misadventures bring strange loyalties and encountering stranger enemies. To this day, Frisk could recall the influence of Flowey, reminded of how her SAVE was broken, being trapped in some unreal nightmare.

So all things considered, Frisk kept his patient smile, a red scarf enclosed around her neck. Gently, the child walked about a bit, trying to provoke some sort of conversation, but her tiny stature and tiny demeanor to boot made it difficult for the kindly human to interact. Plus, from sword-wielding psychopaths, horror movie antagonists, devilish witches around Frisk's own age, and futuristic knights, a simple child with a lot of determination and a red scarf wasn't exactly thrilling. Still, Frisk vainly tried to provoke some conversations as he happily waddled along, the preteen's eyes always strangely shut.

Unable to get that fancy item or find the Temmie Shop, Frisk logically understood that the rules of the Ruins would not apply here. Even more worrying, the child wondered if the others could be influenced by MERCY. She was not unaware of the less savory individuals who preferred LOVE over love, EXP over experience, strife over friendship. A shudder coursed through the youngling's spine, echoes of a distant yet unfamiliar voice calling out, reminding Frisk that no matter how many SAVE's, no matter how many times the data would be deleted, a dark influence beyond her control would grow and grow.

Holding her own ticket carefully to her bosom, Frisk awaited patiently at the entrance with Monsieur Loyal, or whomever happened to be there at the moment.

However, the child seemed to then point to the male that she was talking with. "Ah... vhat exactly are you tryin' to tell me, kid? If it has to do vith this young gentleman I'm talking vith, it better be good."

Another odd male began to speak to her, complimenting her name. This was something else that Frederika was used to. Many guests tried the flattering move in order to slip by the carnival without any detection. Though, this policewoman was much more prepared for anything. She would have smiled at the male, thanking him for his kind words.

"Thank you, mister... Vhat is your name?" She honestly needed to know everyone's name before speaking to them. It makes things much more easier. The woman also had attracted another child who was covered in red clothing. The child had asked her if the policewoman had seen her parents, which was odd that the child wasn't with her parents in the first place. "Ah, child," She gave her a reassuring smile, "Tell me how your parents look like, and I'll have my eye out for them." Beginning to write again, she made a note to look out for the child's parents which she left room to write in details that could help her distinguish them.

It was then that she had overheard the young male who she talked to first as his conversation with another woman was about possessing weapons. Frederika reached into her pocket, taking out a silver whistle. Placing the whistle in between her lips, she would have blew on it, signaling everyone's attention. "Please, do not bring any veapons into the carnival! It could be very dangerous for you to have vem!" She quickly walked towards the ticket booth, asking for a huge bag that could be used to store several items. Frederika flipped the page on the notepad, bending a corner of the page as if the page she had was extremely important. She laid the bag in front of them, crossing her arms underneath her chest as her smile disappeared. "If you have any veapons, please bring vem forvard now! There are severe punishments for those who have these!" It seemed like the woman was not joking around this time. For some reason, it was extremely important for them not to have their weapons inside the carnival. Was it for safety precautions?

"I vould also like all of your names. At the end, you vill all be able to have your veapons back. If you refuse, you must give me a good explanation on vhy you vant to have it vith you!"

Poop. Now you will have to give up your weapons.

"Awwwww, Dolly's doing that cool magic trick with Sam again~"

Aika giggled a bit from seeing Dolly springing into life again, and for a split second, even if it were only Sam's telekinesis at work here, the Dolly looked like it... blinked.

Though, seeing that Frederika was asking on how her parents looked like.

"Oh. My mommy has the same hairstyle as me... I have my daddy's nose and eyes... and they're both much much taller than me. I... I hope that's... good enough..."

Twiddling her thumbs, Aika then realized that there was something else that they had to do before going inside.

"Oh! Um... I'm Aika... and all I have with me is my Dolly. Dolly's with Sam right now, doing fun magic tricks. Um... I wouldn't have any weapons anyways... b-because my mommy and daddy would be very very mad at me..."
​

He gulped in fear of the stern woman's gaze. Already, he knew wasn't going to be getting away with the rule he broke, "I... It's a rule about standing up to Loyal, I guess. He'd tried to upset Aika by telling her that her parents abandoned her... And I just spoke before I thought about it. I asked him why he would say something like that, and I guess you saw the rest involving the hitting and all."

"I can't stand it when people do stuff llike that, so... I'm sorry if I did break a rule," He shuffled a little, pulling out his well-worn and ordinary-looking journal that had been a grimoire at on point, "Luso Clemens, ma'am, and all I've got is my old journal. Nothing really special about it, at least not anymore."​

"Um... Luso, thanks for sticking up for me... you're... you're a good friend..."

Aika wasn't sure on how to phrase this, but hearing Luso's side of the story, Aika was glad that Luso defended her case.

Ashe smiled at Luso. "Nice to meet you, Luso." She said. "I'm glad to hear that they talked about me. Did they also talk about Lemures, or Feolthanos, or Basch?" At Luso's question about weapons, Ashe shook her head. "I don't have any more. I'm sorry, Luso." Ashe said. She turned to Fredrika. "My name is Princess Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca. I come from the kingdom of Dalmasca. All I have on me is my Husband's sword. I also have A Phoenix Down, and three Hi-Potions.

@Everyone @Anyone

"Uuuuhhhh..." It seemed he was dumbfounded if his confused expression was anything to tell by. Lemures and Feolthanos? Vaan had never talked about those, and they sounded like something only a scholar would know about, something that Luso was definitely not. "I think he mentioned a guy named Basch...? No clue on the others though, Princess, but they sound like something similar to what we had to fight together." Though if the demon thing they fought had a name wasn't exactly something he cared about now. As long as it was sealed away or dead, he was fine with it remaining nameless

"Actually..." She was from Ivalice, meaning that when she went back home, she could deliver a message, "Since we have a mutual friend, could you give him a message? I can't exactly get back there all that easily," Or at all, "And it would be nice to tell him and the other friends I made there that I got back home safely. I have a feeling that they're a little worried since I kind of disappeared." Well, maybe Cid and Hurdy were, Adelle was probably too busy thinking about the latest fashion trend. That was just her way, and Luso wasn't going to be upset if it took her a bit to think about him.​

 

[Khan of the Mardu]

As to be expected, little of an answer was given to Frisk's question, the child ignored underneath more of the rambunctious and audible individuals trapped in this dark, twisted festival. From 666 rules to maniacal laughter, the hub of insanity barely faltered the iron-willed human. Frisk had seen a lot after her fall at Mount Ebott, his misadventures bring strange loyalties and encountering stranger enemies. To this day, Frisk could recall the influence of Flowey, reminded of how her SAVE was broken, being trapped in some unreal nightmare.

So all things considered, Frisk kept his patient smile, a red scarf enclosed around her neck. Gently, the child walked about a bit, trying to provoke some sort of conversation, but her tiny stature and tiny demeanor to boot made it difficult for the kindly human to interact. Plus, from sword-wielding psychopaths, horror movie antagonists, devilish witches around Frisk's own age, and futuristic knights, a simple child with a lot of determination and a red scarf wasn't exactly thrilling. Still, Frisk vainly tried to provoke some conversations as he happily waddled along, the preteen's eyes always strangely shut.

Unable to get that fancy item or find the Temmie Shop, Frisk logically understood that the rules of the Ruins would not apply here. Even more worrying, the child wondered if the others could be influenced by MERCY. She was not unaware of the less savory individuals who preferred LOVE over love, EXP over experience, strife over friendship. A shudder coursed through the youngling's spine, echoes of a distant yet unfamiliar voice calling out, reminding Frisk that no matter how many SAVE's, no matter how many times the data would be deleted, a dark influence beyond her control would grow and grow.

Holding her own ticket carefully to her bosom, Frisk awaited patiently at the entrance with Monsieur Loyal, or whomever happened to be there at the moment.

Seeing another scared kid, Luso waved towards her with a smile, hopefully cheering her up by showing that not everyone here was scary.​

"Awwwww, Dolly's doing that cool magic trick with Sam again~"

Aika giggled a bit from seeing Dolly springing into life again, and for a split second, even if it were only Sam's telekinesis at work here, the Dolly looked like it... blinked.

"Hey, no problem, Aika. Clan or no clan, sword or no sword, rules or no rules, I'm going to stand up for my friends no matter what."

True conviction rang in his voice as he smiled down at the younger girl, giving her a thumbs-up.​

 

[Verite]

When Frederika would appear and take the stand from here, away from Loyal's hands, and demand to take away all the weapons, Hisoka would simply give a small laugh and a small shrug, before taking out the only item on him. An ordinary deck of playing cards.

"I trust that these wouldn't pass for weapons... unless someone happens to be extra sensitive to papercuts, hmm?~" He said with a sing-song tone, twirling one card in particular between his fingers. Closer inspection wouldn't yield anything new. Hisoka was telling the truth; no matter what way you'd look at it, they were completely normal cards.

"If anything... They're more like fun little toys I carry around. This is a carnival after all, is it not? Here's to hoping that we get to play and all have fun with each other..." He said, licking the edge of the card in his hand, whilst winking at Bazett, Deadpool, among a few others.

She looked at the young boy who asked whether or not he would be in trouble for breaking a rule, taking out a notepad and a pen. She quickly wrote a few words inside the pad, making grumbling noises. She never really liked having to deal with people breaking the rules; however, she was better than physically punishing a guest. "Uh, vhat's your name sir?" She asked, "And... Vhat rule did you break?" Frederika noticed the little child who wore a sack on his head. She smiled at him as she thought that he was making fun of Monsieur Loyal who she had knocked down several minutes ago. She was too used to have many unique guests, no matter how terrifying they look. So, this child almost seemed cute to her.

Aika was giving off a bright and optimistic air, despite the fact that her parents weren't around. Maybe these people could go off as good friends after all.

Iggy would look up at Frederika and sneer, obviously not wanting to listen. She can't tell him what to do! Well, since everyone else is pulling out their shit, Iggy might as well. Turning his head and biting at his fur, Iggy pulled out...

A packet of coffee-flavored gum, which he dropped to the ground and looked at. As Iggy looked down at the packet, he began to pant and drool in anticipation like a normal dog looking at its favorite food. Without further hesitation, Iggy teared open the pack and ripped out one strip of the brown, creamy gum. Munching upon it, he lied down and happily munched down, the delicious taste of coffee refueling him.

Holding her own ticket carefully to her bosom, Frisk awaited patiently at the entrance with Monsieur Loyal, or whomever happened to be there at the moment.

"Oooh..Heh heh."

There seemed to be a plentiful amount of children here at this carnival! That meant great things as far as Sam was concerned! Children had a sort of nature to them that most grown ups didn't. Some of them took the time to read up and be informed of Halloween's traditions and respect them. Other children were vile and mistreated Halloween's rules. So Sam had them horribly mauled and devoured by a horde of ravenous flesh-eating zombies! But this child in particular seemed different. Whereas Aika seemed to seek companionship with Dolly, this child seemed to be okay with standing by themselves.

Well that couldn't do, now could it? Nobody should be alone while they're in a fun place like the carnival! Which is why Sam waddled over towards Frisk with Dolly following in behind him. Frisk had maybe a couple of inches on Sam, not that the pagan spirit seemed to really mind. Height didn't matter much between children. But Sam could barely restrain how eager he was to make another new friend!

"Hi..Hehehehe!"
​

A packet of coffee-flavored gum, which he dropped to the ground and looked at.

Munching upon it, he lied down and happily munched down, the delicious taste of coffee refueling him.

<"This is the good stuff..">

"...Huh?!"

For a dog that Sam had brazenly claimed would be his, that wasn't very nice! To pull out candy and then not offer to share it or trade it! Not that Sam had anything worth trading on his person! But maybe Dolly had something worth bargaining over! Then Aika and Sam could share the gum between themselves!

That was until Sam waddled closer and got a good look at the type of gum Iggy had.

Coffee

Coffee

COFFEE!!!

That was some of the most absolutely vile stuff Sam could think of! It didn't break any of Halloween's rules but the spirit simply detested the thought of having coffee flavored anything! They might as well have just put razor blades in the gum fo as much as Sam would have desired it! Though he did get some use out of that snickers bar that had the razor blade in it. But that was neither here nor there. As Sam reached out to manipulate Dolly to write up another message, Sam paused. For a brief moment or two Sam felt like their was something on the other end. Almost as if Dolly had a will of her own.

But that'd just be silly! She was a doll, a gift Aika's parents had given to her! She was about as alive as Sam's lolipop! But even so, Sam decided that maybe he just wouldn't write a message for now...
