MEET THE CHEERLEADER!
NOTES
Only wears team colored version of outfit if dragged into a match.
Carousel is unaware of his transness (haha egg) and will be referred to in-roleplay as a girl (she/her), but outside of rp, he will be referred to as a man (he/they).
Carousel is always easy to notice. He stands out no matter what he does or how well he hides, people around him will get a feeling that 'someone is there' whenever he's around.
[this can be modified for scenarios if needed] Carousel radiates an aura that stabilizes people mentally, and his voice/performing amplifies this. The longer he interacts, the harder it is to stay stressed or keep stress bottled up; will be urged to let it out— they'll either feel more grounded in reality or disconnected from it, depending on what the person needs in the moment.
While he can't magically make people happy and his targets can still be pissed at him, he CAN leave them feeling at peace and stress-free during or afterwards, temporarily... regardless of what horrors they have done. The effect may last a while or just for a moment, depending on the individual's psyche.
Carousel has other abilities related to mental manipulation. More will be revealed irp.
While Carousel tries to be polite and nice and likable, that doesn't mean he can magically make everyone like him. He only prevents spiralling into madness.
Has connections to Pyro prior to working with Team Fortress. Will elaborate if asked.
Feel free to be mean to Carousel. He's used to it.

Galen touched the fluffy clouds and giggled softly, upon getting down he gave a big wave to Balloonicorn.
"Bye bye! Thank you for the help!"
He chirped, he didn't notice the magic had faded as to him he didn't even notice there was magic. If he told his dad it would be brushed off as a kids imagination.
He saw his dad panicking still and cooed happily.
"There he is!"
He turned over towards Carousel and gave her a big smile.
"Thank you for helping me find my Papa, Miss!"
He gave a small flutter of his wings and a big bright smile. Medic immediately perked up hearing his kids voice and looked over, seeing his son safe made him extremely relieved.
"Of course, little birdie. Stay close to papa, now." She gives him a fancy little bow, as if she had completed her performance, and nods at Medic before skipping off before questions can be asked and answers can be given. Her job's done! She's ditching now, byeee!
Galen held on tight and gave a little giggle as his nose was booped, he's amazed as he floats in the air on Balloonicorn. A little flutter of his wings comes out as he looks over the crowd for his dad.
There thankfully wasn't an overwhelming crowd but still a crowd and in the slight distance there was at least three RED mercenaries panicking as they looked for something in the crowd. That being Medic, Heavy, and Pyro.
He first landed eyes on the Medic who was panicking greatly and looking under a bench, shouting someone's name over the crowd that was hard to tell.
"There's Papa!"
He chirped, pointing at Medic who looks close to having a panic attack.
"Oh, there he is alright! And he looks so worried!" Carousel hums. She skips towards them along with Balloonicorn, bringing all three of them closer and closer without having to part the ocean of people. She led them through clouds that hung strangely low, letting Galen touch them if he wanted. Soft, fluffy clouds.
Once they were close enough, the performer lowers the trio down to the ground, and helps Galen off of Balloonicorn.
"Alrighty, friend. Balloonicorn needs to go home now, so say bye bye!" She hums, keeping an eye on Medic, Heavy, and...
...Pyro.
...They look okay. That's good. She brightens her smile back up as if nothing had happened.
The second Galen said goodbye to her little friend, the magic would be over, and they'd be back in reality.
In truth, the two of them had just skipped around through shortcuts and alleyways only Carousel was aware of. No outsider was to know about the secret paths, and so she had to pull a tiny little trick. A harmless little illusion.
His eyes glimmer is amazement though he isn't eager to get on first, being very gentle to get on since he doesn't want to hurt what he thinks is an animal.
Balloonicorn whinnies, sparkling with what seems like delight. Carousel laughs lightly.
"Alrighty, put your feetsies in the... thingamabobs," she helps Galen's feet into the stirrup, then hands him the reigns. "Hold on tight, okay? I'll catch you if you fall, but let's not get to that point." She boops his nose lightly. A bit of magic tickles his nose.
"Okay, up we go!" Carousel raises her hand, and Balloonicorn slowly rises up, much like a balloon, giving Galen a bird's eye view... if the bird didn't fly very high. Just enough to get a comfortable view over people's heads.
After a second, Carousel 'walks' up the air and stands next to Galen, in a 'lookout' pose, scanning the crowd.
"See anybody you know, little bird?"
Strangely, the carnival goers don't seem to react to them literally floating in the air.
Galen liked hearing her laugh, it felt nice to his ears. With a happy nod he gave a big smile.
"Yes please! I don't think Papa or Vati would be too hard to find, they both are tall and big! My Uncle En'ie said they were bears but that's silly because they're humans!"
He giggles happily at the memory, thinking it was so silly that they were called bears. He obviously couldn't fly up to see if they were around however due to how small his wings were but if they were tall that might not narrow it down considering everything is tall to a child.
Carousel nodded. "Okay! Since they're real big, it'd probably be easier to find them if we were higher up... so why don't I call a friend?" She snaps her fingers, and...
A glimmering, round unicorn pops into existence from behind her in a cloud of glitter. It was pink, fitted with a saddle, and made a high-pitched whinny as it wiggled around its fat little limbs and floated around.
"This here's balloonicorn!" She introduces the thing with a smile, rubbing its rubbery head, "You're small enough, so hop on!" She gestures to the saddle on the horse, patting it.

He turns over to look back at Carousel, he really did not look worried... Like... At all... Like this was a very common occurrence for him to go somewhere and need to find his dad or his dad to find him.
"I lost sight of him."
He very simply stated, looking around a bit before speaking up.
"Should I try to find him on my own or wait somewhere..."
"Seems like you did." Carousel, upon seeing Galen calm, giggles. Her laughter rings like soft bells.
According to carnival rules, she should take the child to security and let them 'handle' it. But....
...
...
"Hmm I can help you find your parent, easy peasy!" The performer skips over, "if you want help, that is! Otherwise, maybe if you stay right here he'll come around and find you? I'll have to stay with you regardless though— carnival rules states all children must be accompanied by a trusted adult or carnival staff, for safety reasons."
"Of course!" She chirps, flicking her braid over her shoulder and holding her arms out. She let Galen hug her, though only lightly patted his back.
A light kind of joy bounced into Galen's chest. It might be a little ticklish, or just warm. The performer smells like sweets.
"Thank you, little friend!" Carousel hums sweetly. "That was very sweet of you. Now, you should be going back to your parent! Wouldn't want to get lost now, do we?" She held a light smile and kept the air comfortable, but subtly glanced around her for a moment. Checking.
He holds out a tiny bundle that has pink, yellow, and blue hydrangeas with a big smile.

It was a rather quiet day at the carnival, even if people were still visiting. So Carousel took the chance to take a small walk around. Expectedly, someone came up to her. It was hard to miss her presence, and even harder to ignore with the air around her being so... whimsical is a kinder word to use, but a more fitting one would be distracting.
"Oh?" Carousel smiles, "How sweet! They look so lovely, little friend!" She gets down on her knees, being at eye-level with the child, "I would love to accept them, but I can't take gifts without permission from the Ringmaster... so..."
She takes the bundle of flowers, weaves them together with practiced grace into a crown, and placed them on top of Galen's head.
"Why don't you wear them for me?" She winks before loudly whispering, "Between you and me? I've given it a little bit of sparkle to stay pretty a little longer. Just for you."

Of course, baby deer! I hope your friendship grows ten million times stronger with every passing year... may the stars be ever in your favor!
[Carousel gives the child a dramatic bow, and chooses not to correct the other's usage of 'sir'. It's such a small minor detail... and a fresh change from the 'little lady' and 'little missy' she gets on the daily. Doesn't hurt.]
Th... Thank you. I really want to be a animal photographer when I grow up, especially deer. I like deer. And I do got a best friend, his name is Max! We met when we were eight and are stuck to each other tree sap now! Hehe!
Thanks for cheering our little joey up, school is always a big transition for him due to his disability. He sees me and his dad stressed getting all the IEP stuff ready even though we tell him not to worry.
He's always been a bit of an anxious kid despite it, I just hope I don't have to yell at the principal again that he needs his headphones to help self regulate.
Max sounds wonderful! And wow, an animal photographer? I think that's very fitting for you! You sound like you got a veeery special twinkle in your eyes— the very same twinkle that exists in every creative soul... you know what that means? It means you have the special ability to see the most beautiful features in any subject— even the most mundane things. Not a lot of people have that ability, so be sure to take good care of it, my friend! After all, the first step in becoming a great photographer is being able to find wonder in the world!
...And of course! It's really hard being a kid when you're basically experiencing everything for the first time. I may have never gone to school myself but it seems like a real daunting task... like jumping off a ledge for the very first time.
If my words can make that just a little less scary, then I'll write a whole play, haha! It's the least I could do for such a brave and precious little soul :3
I know people can be scary, I won't say everyone's going to be your friend or will be super nice... but! You might just meet someone you'll be friends with forever, and everything's gonna be worth it. Plus, you'll learn all sorts of cool stuff and slowly make up dreams for your adult self to make true. Isn't that cool? I think that's super cool...
I hope your return to school goes nicely, friend! If you cannot be unafraid, then do it scared. I'm sure your parents will be super proud of you regardless :3
First post up on here! I'm currently typing this while hanging upside down, hehe.
Typing on this thing feels so weird. It's like a mini typewriter. I've never even touched a typewriter myself. The words erase themselves with the press of a button and write themselves with the press of another... it's magical!
