It had been while since Columbina payed her friends at the circus a visit. How long exactly? Maybe a couple months by now. Shes just been so distracted with her own business, and they've probably been awfully busy too. But she was finally coming to check in with everyone again. To catch up on things and such.
It was late at night, though the circus was closed for the weekend. She couldn't see anyone around when she entered the circus grounds. They were probably just winding down in their tents.
Speaking of tents... looking around she would notice an unfamiliar one. It was hard not to notice the sparkly pinks and blues against the dark sky and other less vibrant tents.
Had they found a new performer? Why wouldnt they have mentioned that to her? It didn't look like a performance tent, more like a personal one. Smaller and situated too close to Ticket Takers.
Would Columbina be curious enough to investigate on her own?
🌈✨️- hope this is a good start <3
Columbina looks around, hoping for a familiar face to ask about the new tent. When she sees the circus quiet and desolate, she decides to investigate for herself.
Her hooves click softly on the ground, her steps light and quick. She trots over, looking around.
When she notices the proximity to Ticket Taker's tent, she thinks it might be his.
Columbina pokes her head inside, searching for him.
"Ticket taker? Is this another pop up tent of yours? Since when do you–"
She pauses, an unfamiliar scent in the air. Her nose twitches as she sniffs around.
"...hello? Is anyone in here?"
Ticket taker wasnt in his tent. Of course he's probably discussing something work related with Jester elsewhere. Though it meant Columbina was alone with whoever that scent belonged to.
When she called out she heard some noise from the new tent, like someone scrambling to get dressed.
An unfamiliar performer peeks out, still adjusting their beaked mask to cover their face.
Ah- hello?? How did you get in here? The circus is closed tonight...
They tilt their head to the side, confusion evident despite the mask.
Columbina gasps, her face heating up.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!"
She looks at them for a moment before her eyes snap to the floor.
"I'm so sorry for intruding! I just– I've never seen this tent before! Ticket Taker used to have small tents for pop up events and I thought this was one of those... But I stand corrected. I think...? Unless... are you a new performer...?"
They step out of their tent fully, taking in her appearance and scent. And now she could take in theirs better too. They were definitely a younger monster, maybe just old enough to have left home.
No, i dont perform. Im a vendor... You seem to know the Ticket Taker personally..? At least i would assume so, you're visiting his tent in the middle of the night.
Their voice was soft but they had a slight edge to their tone. They seem a little upset by that familiarity she seems to have with him.
Did he give you permission to be here right now?
"Ah... no... not particularly.."
She looks at them, an apologetic expression on her face.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you."
She points to herself
"My name is Columbina, and yes, I know the Ticket Taker very closely. We go way back. When I was a young girl, actually..."
It seem surprised by her name. It perked up, looking her up and down again, then it averted its gaze.
oh, i see... yeah, they've mentioned you before. Im sorry, you aren't disturbing anything.
It look back up at her and offer its hand to shake.
Im Cottonii, it's nice to finally meet you... Columbina.
Its face was still obscured but Columbina could hear the forced smile in its voice.
🌈✨️- just realized ive been using they/them for her/it, oops -p-'
🦇: ahaha I was doing the same despite having read the oc info it's not just you! Sorry!!
Columbina hesitates to give her hand, seeing the subtle tension it's is hiding in its body. Eventually, she does take the extended hand, her touch gentle.
"Again... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to bother you... I was just looking for the others. I.. I haven't been around lately."
She smiles awkwardly, trying to make small talk
It shakes firmly but is quick to let go.
Its fine, really. Jester has everyone in his tent to go over next weeks schedule.
It tilts its head towards the purple tent. Then paused for a moment, fidgeting with a button on its chest, seeming almost nervous now.
You really havnt. We would have met already if you had, I've been here for a few months now.
She flinches slightly at the mention of her of absence. She pulls her ears back, tucking her tail flat against herself.
"I know... I haven't had the chance to visit at all recently. I just... I've been busy."
Probably for the best, we've been busy too. Getting the circus set up in the new lot, getting situated... getting me situated.
Would you rather talk inside..?
"Oh... I wouldn't want to impose.."
She looks at it, quickly averting her gaze.
"Especially not after barging in on you... and again, I'm sorry. I really did think your tent belonged to the Ticket Taker.."
You wouldn't be imposing, im inviting you now.
It holds the tent flap open for her to enter if she wanted.
Besides, you're not all wrong. This was one of Bils event tents, its just been repurposed. It was cheaper than getting me my own and he said they didnt really plan to use this one anyways. Doesn't fit the theme here. I dont actually know why they got this one to begin with...
It shrugs.
Not that i mind, a tent is a tent. Beats sleeping in a box.
"Well... if you're sure.."
She dips her head in gratitude, stepping inside.
"Thank you, Cottonii."
She stands meekly, her hands clasped in front of her.
"So... a vendor? What do you sell?"
The tent was pretty much empty inside, just a few boxes stacked on one side and a pile of pillows on the other arranged like a nest.
It closed the tent flap, then removed its mask.
Cotton candy. Prepackaged stuff right now, but Bil got me a machine to make it myself! Im... not very good at it it.
It smiles sheepishly.
He doesnt know how to use it either but hes still helping me learn. He's been mentoring me for a lot actually.
Columbina giggles, covering her mouth.
"Bil... he's never been great with technology. He's very old fashioned. Hihi, he prefers to do things like he's always done them."
She starts to laugh softly, her ears perking up.
"He's stubborn as a mule, that one."
I've noticed, but i like that about him. He knows what he wants and wont change for anyone...
A pause. It seems a little embarrassed mentioning that, but continues to mask it.
I understand it too, i also prefer how things were before. With my parents. Its hard adapting to... all of this.
It gestured around the tent.
Even back home we didnt use stuff like that. My culture hasnt been very influenced by humans, we usually keep our distance.
She nods in understanding.
"Yes... I miss how simple life used to be when I was a little doeling. I... I miss my parents.."
She trails off in thought before realizing she's oversharing.
"Oh! But no matter. The circus crew is family to me now."
She forces a smile.
They say that a lot, that you're all like family. But none of you are actually related right..?
It tilts its head to the side. Something about its tone while asking that question seemed like it wanted a specific answer. Whether it wanted a a yes or no, she couldnt tell.
Though before she could answer it lifts its head again and changes the topic, realizing the shift in Columbina's mood with that discussion.
Well i guess it doesnt really matter... Oh, would you like to see my cotton candy machine? Maybe you can figure it out faster?
Columbina perks up at the change of topic. She smiles softly, her tail giving a soft wag.
"Oh, I'd love to see it! Can I??"
She beams, very fond of the sweet, fluffy treat.
yeah, let me get it.
It steps over to the stack of boxes and opens the top one, taking out the pink machine along with a couple cones and a small jar of colored sugar. She brought the items back to Columbina and laid them out on the ground, sitting behind them.
Last time i made a mess and Bil had me pick up litter around the lot for the whole night.
Columbina kneels by it, starting to giggle.
"Pfft! Haha! Really? He must've been so mad hihi!"
She laughs, her shoulders shaking.
"I remember when I was first getting into herbalism. I made a huge mess trying to make my first batch of herbal cream... there was herbs and beeswax everywhere. Oh, I gave the poor man gray hair in just five minutes haha!"
oh, i can imagine, beeswax is hard to clean. I made beeswax candles with a friend of my moms once.
Cottonii powers on the machine to let it start heating up. Its quiet for a moment before continuing.
So is he your brother? Cousin?
A little out of the blue question now. Probably what it meant to ask previously before changing the topic to fairy floss.
"Ah.. no. Not exactly. He is more of a mentor and a peer to me. He taught me a lot of things and showed me how to manage on my own after my parents... you know. I used to work with them in the circus, actually. So I guess you could say he was my boss at one point too."
She looks at, smiling softly.
"What about you? What's your relationship with him like?"
it scrunched its nose, the expression unreadable. It doesnt seem to like that answer at all though.
I see...
I was hiding from humans in an alleyway when he found me and brought me to the circus. I owe him everything for that. He saved my life.
A moment to gather its thoughts.
i guess hes also my boss and mentor right now... but we're really a lot closer than those roles imply. I dont know what to call it though.
🌈✨️- they aren't closer than that, Cottonii is just ✨️delusional✨️ with a bad case of Pierrot-syndrome~
"Oh! You're a couple? I didn't take Bil to be the type to settle down. That's... what didn't he tell me about you two? Oh, no matter. Bil is Bil. Congratulations! He is a very good man."
She smiles, her gullibility leading her to genuinely believe it.
"Actually, where is he? Where is everyone else? I've never seen the circus so quiet. Have the others already gone to sleep?"
It jolts upright, its body going stiff, and stammers.
Wh- no, I-I didn't- we aren't- i-i mean... stop that..!
Its face was as red as a tomato now. It shook its head to clear it.
i already told you Jester has everyone in a meeting! well i guess by now they might have gone to bed... but that doesn't mean you can say stuff like that so loud..! Are you trying to get me in trouble??

Columbina looks around, hoping for a familiar face to ask about the new tent. When she sees the circus quiet and desolate, she decides to investigate for herself.
Her hooves click softly on the ground, her steps light and quick. She trots over, looking around.
When she notices the proximity to Ticket Taker's tent, she thinks it might be his.
Columbina pokes her head inside, searching for him.
"Ticket taker? Is this another pop up tent of yours? Since when do you–"
She pauses, an unfamiliar scent in the air. Her nose twitches as she sniffs around.
"...hello? Is anyone in here?"
Ticket taker wasnt in his tent. Of course he's probably discussing something work related with Jester elsewhere. Though it meant Columbina was alone with whoever that scent belonged to.
When she called out she heard some noise from the new tent, like someone scrambling to get dressed.
An unfamiliar performer peeks out, still adjusting their beaked mask to cover their face.
Ah- hello?? How did you get in here? The circus is closed tonight...
They tilt their head to the side, confusion evident despite the mask.
Columbina gasps, her face heating up.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!"
She looks at them for a moment before her eyes snap to the floor.
"I'm so sorry for intruding! I just– I've never seen this tent before! Ticket Taker used to have small tents for pop up events and I thought this was one of those... But I stand corrected. I think...? Unless... are you a new performer...?"
They step out of their tent fully, taking in her appearance and scent. And now she could take in theirs better too. They were definitely a younger monster, maybe just old enough to have left home.
No, i dont perform. Im a vendor... You seem to know the Ticket Taker personally..? At least i would assume so, you're visiting his tent in the middle of the night.
Their voice was soft but they had a slight edge to their tone. They seem a little upset by that familiarity she seems to have with him.
Did he give you permission to be here right now?
"Ah... no... not particularly.."
She looks at them, an apologetic expression on her face.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you."
She points to herself
"My name is Columbina, and yes, I know the Ticket Taker very closely. We go way back. When I was a young girl, actually..."
It seem surprised by her name. It perked up, looking her up and down again, then it averted its gaze.
oh, i see... yeah, they've mentioned you before. Im sorry, you aren't disturbing anything.
It look back up at her and offer its hand to shake.
Im Cottonii, it's nice to finally meet you... Columbina.
Its face was still obscured but Columbina could hear the forced smile in its voice.
🌈✨️- just realized ive been using they/them for her/it, oops -p-'
🦇: ahaha I was doing the same despite having read the oc info it's not just you! Sorry!!
Columbina hesitates to give her hand, seeing the subtle tension it's is hiding in its body. Eventually, she does take the extended hand, her touch gentle.
"Again... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to bother you... I was just looking for the others. I.. I haven't been around lately."
She smiles awkwardly, trying to make small talk
It shakes firmly but is quick to let go.
Its fine, really. Jester has everyone in his tent to go over next weeks schedule.
It tilts its head towards the purple tent. Then paused for a moment, fidgeting with a button on its chest, seeming almost nervous now.
You really havnt. We would have met already if you had, I've been here for a few months now.
She flinches slightly at the mention of her of absence. She pulls her ears back, tucking her tail flat against herself.
"I know... I haven't had the chance to visit at all recently. I just... I've been busy."
Probably for the best, we've been busy too. Getting the circus set up in the new lot, getting situated... getting me situated.
Would you rather talk inside..?
"Oh... I wouldn't want to impose.."
She looks at it, quickly averting her gaze.
"Especially not after barging in on you... and again, I'm sorry. I really did think your tent belonged to the Ticket Taker.."
You wouldn't be imposing, im inviting you now.
It holds the tent flap open for her to enter if she wanted.
Besides, you're not all wrong. This was one of Bils event tents, its just been repurposed. It was cheaper than getting me my own and he said they didnt really plan to use this one anyways. Doesn't fit the theme here. I dont actually know why they got this one to begin with...
It shrugs.
Not that i mind, a tent is a tent. Beats sleeping in a box.
"Well... if you're sure.."
She dips her head in gratitude, stepping inside.
"Thank you, Cottonii."
She stands meekly, her hands clasped in front of her.
"So... a vendor? What do you sell?"
The tent was pretty much empty inside, just a few boxes stacked on one side and a pile of pillows on the other arranged like a nest.
It closed the tent flap, then removed its mask.
Cotton candy. Prepackaged stuff right now, but Bil got me a machine to make it myself! Im... not very good at it it.
It smiles sheepishly.
He doesnt know how to use it either but hes still helping me learn. He's been mentoring me for a lot actually.
Columbina giggles, covering her mouth.
"Bil... he's never been great with technology. He's very old fashioned. Hihi, he prefers to do things like he's always done them."
She starts to laugh softly, her ears perking up.
"He's stubborn as a mule, that one."
I've noticed, but i like that about him. He knows what he wants and wont change for anyone...
A pause. It seems a little embarrassed mentioning that, but continues to mask it.
I understand it too, i also prefer how things were before. With my parents. Its hard adapting to... all of this.
It gestured around the tent.
Even back home we didnt use stuff like that. My culture hasnt been very influenced by humans, we usually keep our distance.
She nods in understanding.
"Yes... I miss how simple life used to be when I was a little doeling. I... I miss my parents.."
She trails off in thought before realizing she's oversharing.
"Oh! But no matter. The circus crew is family to me now."
She forces a smile.
They say that a lot, that you're all like family. But none of you are actually related right..?
It tilts its head to the side. Something about its tone while asking that question seemed like it wanted a specific answer. Whether it wanted a a yes or no, she couldnt tell.
Though before she could answer it lifts its head again and changes the topic, realizing the shift in Columbina's mood with that discussion.
Well i guess it doesnt really matter... Oh, would you like to see my cotton candy machine? Maybe you can figure it out faster?
Columbina perks up at the change of topic. She smiles softly, her tail giving a soft wag.
"Oh, I'd love to see it! Can I??"
She beams, very fond of the sweet, fluffy treat.
yeah, let me get it.
It steps over to the stack of boxes and opens the top one, taking out the pink machine along with a couple cones and a small jar of colored sugar. She brought the items back to Columbina and laid them out on the ground, sitting behind them.
Last time i made a mess and Bil had me pick up litter around the lot for the whole night.

It had been while since Columbina payed her friends at the circus a visit. How long exactly? Maybe a couple months by now. Shes just been so distracted with her own business, and they've probably been awfully busy too. But she was finally coming to check in with everyone again. To catch up on things and such.
It was late at night, though the circus was closed for the weekend. She couldn't see anyone around when she entered the circus grounds. They were probably just winding down in their tents.
Speaking of tents... looking around she would notice an unfamiliar one. It was hard not to notice the sparkly pinks and blues against the dark sky and other less vibrant tents.
Had they found a new performer? Why wouldnt they have mentioned that to her? It didn't look like a performance tent, more like a personal one. Smaller and situated too close to Ticket Takers.
Would Columbina be curious enough to investigate on her own?

🦇: ahaha I was doing the same despite having read the oc info it's not just you! Sorry!!
Columbina hesitates to give her hand, seeing the subtle tension it's is hiding in its body. Eventually, she does take the extended hand, her touch gentle.
"Again... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to bother you... I was just looking for the others. I.. I haven't been around lately."
She smiles awkwardly, trying to make small talk
It shakes firmly but is quick to let go.
Its fine, really. Jester has everyone in his tent to go over next weeks schedule.
It tilts its head towards the purple tent. Then paused for a moment, fidgeting with a button on its chest, seeming almost nervous now.
You really havnt. We would have met already if you had, I've been here for a few months now.
She flinches slightly at the mention of her of absence. She pulls her ears back, tucking her tail flat against herself.
"I know... I haven't had the chance to visit at all recently. I just... I've been busy."
Probably for the best, we've been busy too. Getting the circus set up in the new lot, getting situated... getting me situated.
Would you rather talk inside..?
"Oh... I wouldn't want to impose.."
She looks at it, quickly averting her gaze.
"Especially not after barging in on you... and again, I'm sorry. I really did think your tent belonged to the Ticket Taker.."
You wouldn't be imposing, im inviting you now.
It holds the tent flap open for her to enter if she wanted.
Besides, you're not all wrong. This was one of Bils event tents, its just been repurposed. It was cheaper than getting me my own and he said they didnt really plan to use this one anyways. Doesn't fit the theme here. I dont actually know why they got this one to begin with...
It shrugs.
Not that i mind, a tent is a tent. Beats sleeping in a box.
It had been while since Columbina payed her friends at the circus a visit. How long exactly? Maybe a couple months by now. Shes just been so distracted with her own business, and they've probably been awfully busy too. But she was finally coming to check in with everyone again. To catch up on things and such.
It was late at night, though the circus was closed for the weekend. She couldn't see anyone around when she entered the circus grounds. They were probably just winding down in their tents.
Speaking of tents... looking around she would notice an unfamiliar one. It was hard not to notice the sparkly pinks and blues against the dark sky and other less vibrant tents.
Had they found a new performer? Why wouldnt they have mentioned that to her? It didn't look like a performance tent, more like a personal one. Smaller and situated too close to Ticket Takers.
Would Columbina be curious enough to investigate on her own?
🌈✨️- hope this is a good start <3
Columbina looks around, hoping for a familiar face to ask about the new tent. When she sees the circus quiet and desolate, she decides to investigate for herself.
Her hooves click softly on the ground, her steps light and quick. She trots over, looking around.
When she notices the proximity to Ticket Taker's tent, she thinks it might be his.
Columbina pokes her head inside, searching for him.
"Ticket taker? Is this another pop up tent of yours? Since when do you–"
She pauses, an unfamiliar scent in the air. Her nose twitches as she sniffs around.
"...hello? Is anyone in here?"
Ticket taker wasnt in his tent. Of course he's probably discussing something work related with Jester elsewhere. Though it meant Columbina was alone with whoever that scent belonged to.
When she called out she heard some noise from the new tent, like someone scrambling to get dressed.
An unfamiliar performer peeks out, still adjusting their beaked mask to cover their face.
Ah- hello?? How did you get in here? The circus is closed tonight...
They tilt their head to the side, confusion evident despite the mask.
Columbina gasps, her face heating up.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!"
She looks at them for a moment before her eyes snap to the floor.
"I'm so sorry for intruding! I just– I've never seen this tent before! Ticket Taker used to have small tents for pop up events and I thought this was one of those... But I stand corrected. I think...? Unless... are you a new performer...?"
They step out of their tent fully, taking in her appearance and scent. And now she could take in theirs better too. They were definitely a younger monster, maybe just old enough to have left home.
No, i dont perform. Im a vendor... You seem to know the Ticket Taker personally..? At least i would assume so, you're visiting his tent in the middle of the night.
Their voice was soft but they had a slight edge to their tone. They seem a little upset by that familiarity she seems to have with him.
Did he give you permission to be here right now?
"Ah... no... not particularly.."
She looks at them, an apologetic expression on her face.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you."
She points to herself
"My name is Columbina, and yes, I know the Ticket Taker very closely. We go way back. When I was a young girl, actually..."
It seem surprised by her name. It perked up, looking her up and down again, then it averted its gaze.
oh, i see... yeah, they've mentioned you before. Im sorry, you aren't disturbing anything.
It look back up at her and offer its hand to shake.
Im Cottonii, it's nice to finally meet you... Columbina.
Its face was still obscured but Columbina could hear the forced smile in its voice.
