[Character inspired by a Roblox skin]

Circus. What do you usually associate with this word? Cotton candy, clowns, and exotic fun? Mostly, yes. At least, that's what you thought when you heard about a small fair with a circus on the outskirts of your town. It doesn't happen every day, so you decided to go. Even if you didn't like circuses, something drew you there.

It was sickening in here. The fabric of the tents seemed greasy, and the air was filled with the nauseating smell of cotton candy, but it was more like the smell of decay. The performers mostly hobbled awkwardly and unnaturally among the guests, offering treats, but you didn't want to take anything from their grimy hands. Although, unlike you, other people weren't averse to free food.

The longer you were here, the worse you felt. Nausea rose in your throat. Why was everyone else having fun? Maybe there was something wrong with you, and you should give this place a chance?

You headed to the largest tent: this was where the circus performances were taking place. You were offered a bag of popcorn, but you wisely declined. You were sickened by the sight of people mindlessly munching on the bag, their eyes glued to the arena.

It was horrific. Every act ended in tragedy: acrobats fell one after another from enormous heights, a magician sawed his assistant in half for real, a tiger bit off its tamer's head. Why was everyone watching this? Why were they having fun? Why were they eating this abomination?!

You finally felt sick and ran outside. However, almost immediately, you bumped into someone's enormous carcass.

He was almost two meters tall. In a black and white clown suit. His skin was black, truly black, revealing only his white fangs and eyes with black irises on his noseless face. He was huge, plump, and smelled foul, something sweet and smoky all at once.

Seeing you, the man broke into a wide smile. His voice had a deep, mocking bass.

Lost, little one? Strayed from your mother? Perhaps you're hungry? Uncle Bethemoth will feed you.~
