Louis sighed and leaned back. "Well I'm not, am I now?", he answered and he couldn't blame Blair. Besides, he couldn't even be sure if they saw the world in the same way, or if whatever machinations were at work, changed them differently too. Maybe it gave them some kind of ability that differed and he just happened to have a useless one. Blair acted unusual today, aside from being so worked up and spooked by something. They had normal talks before, now it seemed like he was scared of Louis too.…

Louis would have loved to talk to Josiah a long long time ago, but it wasn't possible and he needed to realize that and stop wishing for it. Instead he turned the question around. "Why didn't you ever say anything? At least to me, after the fire and after I've healed?", Louis asked. He looked alright, but he could see that something was wrong with him, much as he suddenly could identify all of the people in the circus that had been changed, or cursed, or whatever it was the ringmaster did to the…

Blair hit Louis with the truth. He was taken aback for a moment, then furrowed his brows. "Because I couldn't tell anyone the truth anyway. And because they can't help me and... Because if they tried they'd get hurt and...", he paused. He didn't think he deserved any saving. Whatever he was didn't, he was cursed. Blair was different than Josiah though. He knew what Louis went through even though Louis himself was not like him, not yet anyway, whyever that was. Louis wasn't the best at unloading …

Louis forrowed his brows. He always picked the ones trying to not be a burden, didn't he? Josiah was the same, rarely saying what really bothered him, at least he used to be like that. Maybe it was Louis fault for being so weak, obviously not able tocarry much more weight, but if Blairs demeanor had anything to do with Roy, it was very much Louis fault and responsibility. "You don't have to play strong. You've helped me plenty, now it's my turn. You can talk to me." He couldn't force Blair and e…

Louis only now noticed that Blair looked a bit disheveled. He always did, in a way, as a child and now too. He'd always been alone, but kind of too old for Louis to consider striking up a conversation with him. At some point he probably looked up to him in awe, at all the ones older than him really. For quite some time, he'd been the youngest of them all too. What he took as stoic and cool, was probably someone shy instead, that didn't want to burden anyone with his troubles, but would have wish…

Louis could only nod. He didn't want to keep Josiah either, he just wanted to ask him for some help, that was all. He seemed unrealiable lately, but if Louis had asked anyone else, he would have only been more angry and besides, if Lucy and him didn't hide together, they were with the children anyway. Louis wasn't getting hurt either, he was already hurt, but he didn't want to argue with Josiah and it didn't matter either. "I'll get to it.", he told him, then finally turned around to leave. He w…

"I'm jelous... my father, his father and his grandfather, my siblings, even Dayan, they all have blue eyes and I am left with these. I always felt left out, as if I don't belong...", Richard mumbled, then sighed. "But I don't need to tell you this. You are surrounded by people who don't share yours at all." There were other people, neither Thrian, nor part of Richards family you sported all sorts of eye colors. Out here? No one had blue eyes like Yujin. Still, Richard always felt off about it an…

> Cybernetics Headquarters, Scientist Living Quarters Hallway Allisons head buzzed, her thoughts turning. She was thinking about Zero and Sovereign and also about technical possibilities to save him. Did she even need to worry? Zero probably could have plans ready in an instant, she just needed to build whatever he needed. This was her expertise after all and Zero lacked the skills to do it himself. She wondered if he could use that body of his if he wanted to, or if at least that behaved as the…

"The best human is still not enough to defeat a vampire. You saw what happened.", Azrael was quick to shut the priest down. Thy caught her off guard with whatever it was that happened to her and made her stop for long enough to make their mistake, but Ignatius had been hurt badly and he'd been shaking too. Now it was like he forgot all about it, which meant he didn't learn anything and would rush straight ahead into danger again, thinking he was invincible. Azrael couldn't protect someone like h…

"Is that a sensitive subject? Because you're part Thrian?", Lucien asked, being well aware of the stigmatas previous generations put on their neighbors. They've been called wolves for a reason. Dayan didn't seem very aggressive and if he was it came from a place of fear. He was like a dog backed into a corner, thinking everybody was out to get him, which was not far from the truth. There were certainly people who'd want to hurt him, get rid of him for what he was, even nowadays, or especially be…

Josiah always seemed to do the opposite of what Louis wanted at the moment and Louis changed his opinion every other day. When he wanted Josiah to visit him, to see how he was doing, to just be with him for a bit, he didn't care about Louis, he didn't show up, didn't even look at him when he happened to be out of his trailer. When Louis wanted him to back off, to be with the people he should be with, with the ones that were like him, not some kind of twisted monster, he latched on to Louis, he d…

Louis nodded, but didn't say anything, because he didn't know how much he could say. He was trapped here as much ad he couldn't control what he did ad soon as the guests arrived. He wasn't sure if it was the ringmasters doing or other things were at play here. Blair didn't change as drastically. As much as he didn't belong anywhere it seemed he split in half trying to find a place in either world. Maybe one of his selves had to die eventually and there was only one side that got exhausted in the…

Louis wasn't sure if Josiah warmed up to this conversation or not. He still acted somewhat distant and annoyed. Usually he'd lay out all of what Louis said better than he meant it, today the opposite seemed to be the case. He snapped at him again and Lpuis didn't quite understand what he was doing wrong. For once he just tried to be nice and uncombative. He didn't have the energy to fight with Jo right now. "Sorry.", he apologized and the jab was well earned, even though he usually did all of wh…

"I wasn't complaining.", Louis quickly responded. Did it sound like that? It wasn't his intention. For how he treated Jo the past couple years it wasn't too out of the question and yet he was too tired to pretend he didn't care anymore. He was too tired to pretend anything anymore, even too tired to pretend he didn't want to give up. Josiah seemed unhappy about the task. When Blair suggested it Louis actually thought it was a good idea and that Josiah would be happy to get more responsibility an…

"Three days.", Louis repeated with a nod. He could work Josiah back in then and announce the new plan ahead of time. They lacked so mamy parts of the show, it was time tonfill back up. The ringmaster didn't complain, but he'd make himself known in different ways. Maybe he was satiated for now though and maybe he also felt like Louis learnt his lesson. He couldn't slack too much though. Josiah comment about how Louis looked felt cold, very much so. Was he blaming Louid for Leila and the aftermath…

Josiah told Louis that he was fine again and supposedly there had been enough time for his bones to heal, which was the most important part when it came to his performance. He needed to know his own limits and Louis was willing to trust him on this. "Ah, that's good. Just tell me when I can put you back on the show." He wasn't all too lazy after all it seemed. Maybe Blair was wrong, maybe he didn't see all that was going on after all and Josiah was just fine. Louis looked up, knowing exactly whe…

Lucy and Josiah were glued together and a lot more loving than Louis ever saw anyone in this circus. It was good for them, there was no reason to stop them, but at the same time the timing felt off. Their friend died not too long ago and suddenly they only had eyes for each other. Was Louis jealous? No that wasn't it, he was sure, there was no reason to be. Whether the two of them were close or not, Louis would still be alone and wasn't getting rid of Josiah his goal all along? Now he got what h…

"It's dangerous... For both of you and also exhausting." If she could truly help Genji, then ehy insist on being by his side for a few weeks or months. They'd have a lot more time together once thos curse was lifted, unless of course it would kill him. He'd take death, he'd embrace it even but he didn't believe Otoha would do something like that, no matter Genjis opinion. "As the goddess shouldn't she be able to do whatever she wants? Then again, I wondered why you were caring about a stranger l…

Louis rested he needed it, but he was too worried to actually sleep for long. He tried to distract himself with painting and he wondered if he could put the true ringmasters form on paper, but to no avail. He scribbled some other things, costumes and masks that would never be used, they were too bleak and scary. He wondered if Josiah would visit, but he didn't. Hr thought when he showed him ehat happened when he crossed the circus invisible border, they made up a bit anf he started to understand…

Louis looked at Blair confused, none of this made any sense. "But aside from making me bring the children to him, why ask me to manage the show, to gather everyone if we move and to make small changes he wants? Anyone could do that..." Louis once thought that maybe if he was doing good, the ringmaster would let his friends live and maybe that had been true if not for him thinking he'd be able to say no to something. He mistook the signs too, the warnings that were sent, he ignored them and now L…
