{ I make absolutely no promises, but here have an adorably stupid hobo clown of a shounen protagonist. }
1 ♔ NO ONE'S HOME → ABANDONED
[ The lights are on (sort of), but...it's kind of creepy. Mostly because Allen was fairly certain there wasn't supposed to be any carnival anywhere nearby. He'd know!! It's the kind of thing he pays attention to, especially with taking busking up again recently for travel money and a guise....
Maybe it's also because the few lights that are on don't seem to be that steady. Is it abandoned? It feels haunted, if he believed in that sort of thing, but there's nothing his eye is reacting to...
Kind of remarkable-unremarkable in appearance, he seems to be a teenager with shaggy white hair that's been drawn back into a ponytail and wears a respectable but simple garb like a Victorian gentleman of unknown status might, an old-fashioned suitcase in one half-gloved hand. Strange, his left hand that's partially hidden by glove seems to be blood red and armor-plated, and there's a rather ugly red scar (tattoo?) carved into the left side of his face with a pentagram-like mark.. ]
Hello? [ Hand cupped to his mouth, he stops for a moment, thinking he heard something. ]
Is someone there?
[ Best to find out one way or another, right...? ]
2 ♔ NEW RECRUITS → GAMER'S CIRCLE
[ Another time, he can be found being called over by the dart toss. Which admittedly does get him to stop and consider it with a somewhat curious expression (nostalgic, even! although maybe that isn't necessarily a good thing...).
Ah. Hm.
—he switches gears quickly and holds up one hand politely, the most radiant ✨Customer Service Smile™✨ on his face. It's kind of terrifying. ]
Thank you but I'll pass. ☆ [ What, does he look stupid? He knows these games are always rigged.
At least he's gotten over the initial kneejerk jump-out-of-his-skin reaction to the cinder spirits since while he thought they might be akuma, his eye isn't reacting. Although that doesn't really make him feel any less ill-at-ease... ]
3 ♔ NO ONE'S HOME → MONSTERS LURKING
[ He just wanted to leave!! HE JUST WANTED TO LEAVE, THAT'S ALL. ]
—wah! [ Narrowly, he rolls out of the way of one... foot??? tree foot?? IS IT A THING WITH FEET OR IS IT A TREE. Pineapple tree... giraffe??!
Either way it smashes into the ground where he was a moment ago with slothlike gusto and seems incredibly pleased with the rock it has now made into many smaller rocks. In fact, it seems positively delighted with this as it moves its foot to the side and surveys the destruction it's wrought, and Allen remains rather frozen on his back momentarily as he tries to process that This Is His Life.
It toes the rocks around for a moment and seems to croon. ]
...
[ you have to be kidding him WHY DOES IT LOOK SO HAPPY ]
4 🃏 WILDCARD
[ Hit me bb. ON THE CHANCE I DO APP I am down for him inadvertently doing something Horrible that ends up in his contract being signed. It'd be too poetic and canon... especially anything involving extreme property damage and triggering the 14th/his Darker And Highly Unwanted Other-Self. Since sealing that would be what he'd want in return, woops. ]
