    Summary

    A harsh expulsion of breath and consonants fans across his cheek. It takes him a moment to order the vowels into a word: Branzy. He turns, facing the man who uttered it.

    “Branzy,” Clown says again, more insistently. He's not laying down; Clown has never been so presumptuous as to sleep next to Branzy in Rek's bed, not without invitation. Instead, he's kneeling, one leg on the mattress and the other reaching for the floor. His hand hovers a few inches from Branzy's head. Two months is not enough time to erase uncertainty in the nighttime.

    “Sorry,” Branzy responds quietly. His voice is hoarse. “Was I shouting again?”

    Summary

    It starts like this: a window smashes, a jester soars through it, and Branzy screams.

    He can’t help it. Look, he’s new to this place, and despite all the warnings his old friends have given him, Branzy has never known when to glue his mouth shut. It’s worse when he’s caught off guard like this—a full-body scream escapes him before he can even think to can it. It doesn’t ground him, but it does draw the attention of the man that has just crash landed in his laboratory.

    Eyes that feel like beetles on Branzy’s skin give him a long once over. He doesn’t know how he can tell, since the jester is wearing the full getup, a sharp-tipped circus mask to boot. Those eyes, though. Branzy doesn’t need to see where they land to feel them.

    Summary

    When you die, it is not quick. It is a struggle, a clawing out of the grave and a gasping of air, until you meet a slow, agonizing demise. A quick death on Lifesteal is a mercy, one that very few people deal out. Fights are drawn out, long, potion after potion being deployed to survive just a little bit longer. Most people use the ten second undo time to their advantage – often waiting ten seconds before dealing the final blow to a trapped and disabled opponent. This leaves their opponent weakened, creating a hesitation in retaliation.

    Branzy knows this all too well.

    *~*~*

    OR, Branzy gets a little bit stabbed. Clown does his best.

    Summary

    “Branzy, tell me a story”

     

    The bird gets food and protection and the crocodile gets companionship and clean teeth. What an interesting dynamic. Symbiotic.

     

    If there’s a softer smile on Clown’s face then he would usually ever allow as he walks away from a mildly flabbergasted pink in the face Branzy; well.
    That’s for him to know and the others to learn.
