hair: deep brown hair---fitting his tan complexion---long shoulder-length hair usually worn in a man bun with overgrown shaved sides.

The stage was set and everything had fallen into place so perfectly, the ringleader called out his best and only jester, the one who goes by "Puppet", yet as the curtains were pulled aside, it would reveal a gruesome sight.

The straight jacket was tightly bind to his body, this happens so often and his voice would always come unheard, so often would the dark blue haired young man come to this mental institution for one of his "relapses". Puppet is yet again in the sponge room chained down to a chair wearing a straight jacket, his makeup leaking from his face soaked with tears and outside the door was the last person who tired serving as the jester's help.
"I can't TAKE IT ANYMORE"
The woman cried out to her boss who wore a wounded expression
"Did…you even try with him? But more importantly, why his covered in cuts?"
"Why?! Because the fucker was giving me some sob story and since I wasn't interested he pulled that shit"
The woman barked at her boss and peered around the area
"Anyway where is my replacement? Robert was it?"
The woman's voice echoed down the hall

Robert was just a tad bit confused. the male named Elric was back again in the institution, Robert always felt so bad for the jester's case manager; they were always overwhelmed by Elric's actions. Robert has read his papers, he knew the Puppet was unstable and needed more help than most. just he thought his perfectionism could help, he assumes that this wont be easy to keep his job while working with this unstable of a patient.


he did have a good amount of experience with patients with suicidal tendencies, but with the sort of cannibalistic as well made this guy a harder case. it was surprising that he was able to leave the institutions so soon as well. with other patients, he's read about being in for nearly a lifetime before they could try to return to the real world. he heard over the walkie that he was going to have to start earlier than expected with Elric, something about 'Robert Wickhelm, Elric's old case worker quit his case, are you able to take working with him a little earlier?'


stepping into the room he glanced through the window to see the jester in a straight jacket, it was a bit sad he never liked seeing someone in one; even for their own protection it still hurt to see. "so this is Elric Triskborne?" he spoke a little sadness in his tone, "what happened?"

As Robert approached the woman who could be heard screaming at their boss looked him over, her blond fine hair was messy and her eyes with bags under them, it seems she hadn't slept in weeks.
"You mean other then the usual unpredictable stunts he likes to pull"
The woman snapped at Robert
"That little shit is annoying as hell and you know what? You figure it out!"
And with that she stormed out, leaving Robert and his boss alone, the boss on the other hand also seems exhausted and was far older with sliver lining his black hair
"So sorry about her…she was one of the best, however…."
His voice was deep and calming as he looked at Robert with kind eyes
"Elric had one of his set backs, from what I hear he once again gutted one of partners for an act he was sent to do….I….think he was trying to defend himself"
The way he spoke indicates he felt horrible for the jester, however he sounded exhausted and was a bit winded
"We tried bring him here, but he was havi by a panic attack, and so he fought, we had no choice but to bring back one of his traumas in order to prevent him from setting us on fire…again…."
The longer he spoke to Robert, the more it seemed "Puppet" to struggled and soon the chair was knocked over, his makeup leaking from tears and he started to sob
"LET ME OUT OF HERE, IT HURTS!!"
He sobbed out, with only pain lining his voice
"I-I-I hate being in here!!! I didn't mean to hurt her…she wouldn't stop…she kept Y-Y-ELLING AT ME!!!"

Robert barely acknowledged the woman's screaming. he knew that this would be a difficult situation but the fact that she had likely lost her own sanity with how little she would sleep working with Elric. Robert had understood the fact that the male was more than likely in the wrong, but it just wasn't fair that he didn't have someone who could fully watch him at all times. when she stormed out he just turned to the older man, a confused look he asked, "one of your bests doesn't know how to keep her cool?" he was fairly new to this institute, so he didn't fully get the ropes of a heavily unstable patient.


"he seems awfully upset. when was the last time he was found in a setback?" sure he knew a bit about the younger male's relapses, but that doesn't mean he knows much it all. not much of the info about Elric was released to his eyes, only the most severe cases have been shared to him.


hearing the jester's cries made his chest hurt, he sounded like a hurt kid, trying to explain his situation when in all reality he had just likely committed murder (again). he was trying to remember what this trigger was that they used to have him this distressed. "and is the straight jacket necessary?" he was feeling bad for the younger, he knew it would be hard for him to keep from letting the other get what he wants---most of the times---but it was going to be a job he needed to do.

It didn't take long but soon Puppet would start squirming once more then his horns and tail would shoot from his being, he released a high pitched scream that echoed throughout the room, his unhinged jaw fully opened and his long, three purple tongues uncoiled from his mouth and flicked to and fro. Yet Robert would notice how calm his boss was, in fact it was this very moment he would open the door and pull a tiny bouncy ball from his pocket and threw it into the room-immediately Puppet was back to normal and watching the ball bounce around before vanishing and appear, out of his binds and playing with the ball. He still sniffled with tears streaming down his face but seemed "sane" at this moment
"I think the best approach is putting the two of you together and seeing how well it works out"
The older man peered over at Robert, seeing his calm demeanor reveals that he was used to such patients yet it was draining
"He went through so much as a child, we don't fully understand how he became this way, so far we know that he can become clingy…."
His voice trailed off as he peered back into the room, the door was wide open yet Puppet was curled up into a tight ball, wanting to hide
"….show me what you got, go speak with him, and if the two of you get along then….he's yours"

did he just? did this male just turn into some sort of demon?


he looked at his boss like he was crazy for a moment, a little worried for his wellbeing with that transformation. sure that there were many unstable bordering demonic beings; just it was a little odd to see a full transformation like that. normally they would only have a flicker of red in their eyes, or their nails growing sporadically and hardening like claws. but this took the cake.


he inhaled to calm his nerves and put returned to a minor amount of sadness in his voice, "do you think he could have been like an experiment?" he was more asking to himself, not fully wanting to hear the true answer. so he just listened to his instructions, walking in cautiously and trying to remain calm. he walked closer, about a meter away from the younger male he sighed voicing, "hello pal, sorry about him, making it seem like you're a chore." he mumbled, slightly bouncing his head towards his boss at the wording from the boss. "he isn't the nicest, but he knows what he's doing." with a slight shrug he paused to see if the human(oid) was upset with his words.

"A-at least he d-doesn't beat me like…."
Puppet's voice was shaky and with reason, he went through so much in the short time it took from waking up to being thrown back into the cold, spongy room, being treated like an animal. He would slowly peer up at Robert like a sad, lost beaten puppy, his eyes were inky with white speckles that rained down like falling snow. He wore a black, tattered suit with his well loved big, black frilly bow tie of spider print. With a sniffle Puppet slowly raise his head a little to get a better look at Robert yet it's clear he was scared, he is shorter then this tanned figure
"Y-you're going to hurt me like…t-they do are you?"
Puppet would ask in a cracky voice, otherwise his voice would've been smooth, he inches away from Robert
