Once Robert got himself situated they were on their way, leaving Robert and Puppet alone in the backseat, yet one thing was clear, the driver was scared. She was a decent sized woman with some muscle on her, she seemed the sort to handle her own yet even she was terrified. Puppet however tilted his head curiously at Robert when he tried to make conversation and smiled brightly
"You know you're already different from the rest!"
He chirped and clapped his hands together gleefully
"The others would've already pulled out a tablet and try figuring out my illnesses to get the paycheck…."
Without a mere sound Puppet appeared next to Robert, barely an inch from him and sniffing him intently like a dog

"like illnesses are that easy to figure out." Robert chuckled slightly, a little nervous over the situation, not sure where he was or what he was doing here in the car, think of what lead him to this situation.


"but seriously, i doubt its as easy as they were tryna act." he voiced peering out the window and watching the scenery warp and change as they drove. clueless he looked back to Elric. "but i do need a little bit of help from you to fill out a form, sooner or later." he hoped that wouldn't tick off the other, just to clarify he's not just taking off of work he needed his patient to say that he was with him, and would be for the next about month before a short week break---if possible.

"You smell of the following, animal, and bits of other human….one in which can be located in the upper floor after she was moved to a different ward"
Puppet spoke out of terms, he lost in his own world, he doesn't know this person and so he continues smelling Robert, allowing his mind to map out various locations of where they were last before appearing where he sat originally
"But not on the first day I hope…"
Puppet spoke in his smooth, nectar voice as his eye started to twitch before taking a deep breath. So many are quick to diagnose him and move on, sadly they fail to realize the cost is such things.

he nodded, the little list of what he smelled like reminded him of his dog, a Robert had a runt Beagle, who looked even smaller than a dachshund-- he was only 5 months old but still a tiny little rascal. a bit of sadness fell on him while he missed his dog, but he quickly tried to stuff it down ad carry on the conversation.


"no, not just yet, but probably sometime this week we will need to." he played a fake smile, he was almost certain he wouldn't be able to see his dog for a while. his eyes travelled to the windows again, he was starting to realize he didn't recognize this area, he wasn't even sure if they were in a bordering town or what.

They will be nearing the outskirts of town where the road was more uneven and the drive bumpy, they were nearing the famed circus in which Puppet is the star, both from society fearing him and his skills. He dreads returning here, but this is the only place who took him in and even with the choice of escaping, if that even becomes an option, he doesn't know if he could for this was the only life he ever knew. The jester would shake in a place a little with tears rolling down his face, yet he had to compose himself and wiped the tears away, smearing his makeup a bit more
"Sure, whatever, luckily for you….whenever I do something Ringleader doesn't like…..I'm sent to the..c-cage…."
He couldn't even say the word without stuttering or trembling in place, he truly fears it and was on the brink of a panic attack. He was quick to grab his knees and closed his eyes tightly, taking deep shaky breaths, trying to compose himself
"T-that's why I..a-asked if you can get me a nightlight, I….I'm scared of the dark…..and he listened to the last person they sent me with….but…."
His voice trailed off
"Ringleader got mad at me and he….."
Puppet was choking on his words and broke out in a cold sweat before shaking his head
"P-please…that's all I want…..they can keep…hurting me….I…just s-scared of the dark…"
He truly is a lost child

frowning as sadness seemed to overtake Elric, he was scared of something. just nodding he got the reason for the night light. the other was actually scared of something, regardless how scary he could be.


"i can try to get one soon, but you have to promise me you wont be rampaging or murdering anyone or anything." he just seemed to glance aside as he was seeing the circus tent come into view. he wasn't going to try and get the jester to do anything he didn't want to. he didn't want to make anything worse

"I didn't mean to kill them! They wouldn't stop hurting me, she kept pushing and pushing and…pushing…."
Puppet would open his eyes and gulped loudly as the vehicle pulled into a parking spot. The circus is best described as something seen in a horror movie, there was a forest surrounding it yet many of the tress scattered about seemed dead or burnt, the tent was vast and sturdy, yet the colors faded from decades of being exposed, this place was here to stay and that sent chills down Puppet's spine. Standing in front of the vast entrance was a shorter man wearing a ringleader suit with chains hanging from the sides, he wore a pissed expression with glossy blue eyes, his messy brown hair combed back to seem more professional yet nothing about him was inviting. Puppet would shakily leave the SUV, trembling in place with his head lowered

feeling bad Robert didnt speak, he just nodded. he looked out the window to see the burnt scenery. seeing Elric leave the SUV he knew he had to follow but he had a feeling he would have to get the jester out of this place somehow, get him to not be shaking like a leaf in the wind when he saw the ringleader---or at least Robert assumes this male is the ringleader.


his head up he kept an eye out for both a movement from Elric or the other male. he seemed nervous to see what could happen when they got closer. the ringleader looked like he had a stick up his ass or something.

"S-sorr-"
Puppet went to the man and was immediately shot down with a glare, it made him feel powerless and shook in place as he lowered himself like a beaten pup, scared and whimpering softly from fear and winced at any motion the man had made, even something as simple as pulling a piece of paper out from his breast pocket made Puppet raised his hands up in a defensive manner, as if expecting to be hit
"Take it the man on the SUV is the new….therapist or whatever the fuck they call them?"
The man's voice was deep and filled with growls, he took the paper and unfolded it then tore it to shreds
"How many times do I have to tell you Puppet? I hate your art, I hate your mug, now tell me who the fuck they sent you with this time"
He spoke in a gruff manner and eyes Puppet like a vulture, ready to attack
"I-I don't think they gave me his n-n-na-"
Puppet did his best to answer but cried out when smacked across the face
"Cage-NOW"
He was ordered soon after and with a shaky nod Puppet entered the tent, leaving the Ringleader with Robert

Robert seemed a little confused. hearing the distaste in the ringleader's tone startled him. he watched the jester and his manager basically scold him. he didn't want to jump in though, he knew it wouldn't be good. starting after Elric he paused and looked at the other that was standing still. "sorry you know this is probably why he hurt your other workers? he isn't a dog?" he seemed to have some aggression in his tone as he spoke, but he didn't mean to be rude. he just was trying to speak his mind.
