BUGGY'S BULLSHIT - OTA

[personal profile] bugminster 2026-07-18 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
If it's not literally Buggy's time to go on stage, he's stalking around his circus, keeping an eye on his freaks and fools and on the local morons. You cannot possibly miss our flashy and magnificent impresario because he is 6'2 and dressed like a pirate clown and he never shuts his fucking mouth. He is talking shit with every single carnie he walks past because frankly there aren't that many of them and he knows them all by name and this kind of camaraderie-assed bullshit keeps them on-side, but it's so easy to interrupt him. Come talk to our Star Clown, he's so smart and funny and you love him.

CABAJI'S CUSTOMER SERVICE CORNER - OTA

[personal profile] bugminster 2026-07-18 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
There's a little bit of striped canvas awning over a table. On the table there's a wire cage and if you lift the wire cage there's a red button labelled EMERGENCY CALL BUTTON. If you press the button Cabaji gets really pissed off and comes back from wherever he currently is. He does have quite a bit of work to do to pull off this show, you know.

If he isn't currently busy, though, he'll be sitting on the table so you can't access the call button, smoking and aura-farming. Any questions or comments can be brought to Cabaji.

Despite the fact that Aries had pretty much moved into Joshua's camp, they still weren't around each other constantly. Aries was actually very concerned that Joshua would be annoyed with him soon enough. They used the terminal in Joshua's cave, along with a Pip-Boy (RIP Ricky) to keep in contact. Aries liked to go out with Follows-Chalk and look at the taboo buildings with the scout, so he was out when the Pip-Boy blinked with a message from Joshua.

Clown? Rat? BITE? ...Circus? Raiders.

Joshua didn't want him to follow. Of course Aries was going to have to follow him. If he was bit by a creature, and was handling a creature, why didn't he ask the Creature Hunter that was super infatuated with him?

and then!


Aries arrived at the circus, and started to snoop around. He went to the Emergency Call Box and met Cabaji, the beautiful man (possibly not human) on a unicycle (humans cannot ride unicycles).

He demanded to know where the world's strongest baby was located.

Aries could be found playing skee-ball or lifting his mask long enough to scarf some food. He felt that as an Appalachian, he was some sort of connoisseur for weird meat (haha see what I did there?)

Near dark, he will be waiting for the fireworks. This is a little low energy but please tag me I love you.
