[ the ringmaster doesn't turn her attention away just yet — adding the final touches to the skeletons painted skull. ]

I do hope that compliment was directed at me, darling. I won't have you stealing the unbeating hearts of my acts.

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

she's busy painting the face of a skeleton. powdered pigments dusted onto the ivory skull, adding a pop of colour to the undead.

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

don't thank me just yet, darling. I plan to put you to work faster than you can say another word in infernal.

[ though she can't help but smile at the show of childlike excitement. ]

first and foremost, you need a change of clothes. and fast. that outfit simply will not do.

[𝓀𝑒𝓎 of ｄｅｓｔｉｎｙ🗝₊˚⊹♡ @keyedestiny]

[ her eyes widen !! ]

I CAN BE YOUR NEWEST CLOWN ?! YESSS !!

[ giving a big whoop at the chance , the teen practically dances on the spot , chirping and chittering in infernal . ]

thank you so much miss !! thank you !!

she shakes her head in disbelief. honestly, what has the realm come to these days...

“glad as I am to hear you made it out of there tentacle-free, it would have made for a great addition to our performance troupe.
the miraculous mindflayer magician. —— has a ring to it, no?”

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

I admire your determination, darling.

I love a good amount of blood as much as the next person, but 4000 liters seems a bit much.

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

“you can start with an apology. you had me worried sick!”

she heaves a sigh, though there's genuine concern behind her theatrics.

“honestly. my poor heart almost jumped out of my chest when I was told you had gone missing. I can't afford to lose any more of my shining stars.”

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

@bloodyconcepts | 🌌. YES!! night hags are so sick. we had a reoccurring one as an npc in a campaign and she was great so i totally understand the bias

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

| 🌌. i love hcs that lucretious is either a very long-lived moon elf. or even a night hag. sure her saying she's seen stars be born and die and civilizations rise and fall could all be performance mumbo jumbo... but what if,

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

| 🌌. she may just be a silly side quest character to you. but to me she's everything. she's my wife,

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

bless. I remember when I too was young; longing for a change. stories like these always make my heart bleed.

alright, darling. I'll give you the full circus extravaganza, on the house. — but, on one condition.

[ a pause for suspense. ]

that being, you will be my newest clown.

[𝓀𝑒𝓎 of ｄｅｓｔｉｎｙ🗝₊˚⊹♡ @keyedestiny]

[ bounces more visibly in view . a happy , excited tiefling girl , tail swishing . ]

please may i see , please , miss !!! i don't have any coin but um . i really love the circus !! i'm gonna be a clown one day .

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

if Boris remembers his choreography they can.

[ hands upon her hips, Lucretious sighs. ]

I swear, you'd think I reassembled them with two left feet

[𝓀𝑒𝓎 of ｄｅｓｔｉｎｙ🗝₊˚⊹♡ @keyedestiny]

[ peeks . ]

um . can the skeletons .. .. . dance ?

[ she's a little intimidated but .. big huge wonderment in her eyes . circus .. ]

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

“a little skeleton told me someone was in need of entertainment. and darling, I always know how to keep a crowd entertained.”

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

“Amias, darling! you will not believe how much we have all missed you. myself especially.”

Lucretious was already hurrying over to check on him, making sure no physical harm had left a mark on her prized performer.

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

“and yourself, darling. it's always a pleasure.
slain any new big baddies recently?”

[𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 ‎𓇻 ˊ- @lastdayscircus]

well well, if it isn't one of my favourite adoring fans.
