Lately, I’ve been taking a lot of notes about the game’s backstory it kind of helps me keep the characters’ behavior consistent, if that makes sense to you. So I thought I’d share some fun facts!

About the circus travels:

Jester and Ticket Taker always keep an itinerary with the circus’s next stops (though they do take suggestions from the others). They’re the ones who handle most of the research. So, how does it work when the circus moves to a new place?

If they don’t speak the local language, they learn it. They spend some time just studying and observing the new culture before setting up the show, and each of them has a role in that process.

This is usually when they can stay in hotels/inns (which I mentioned before) to relax and do some field research.

Here’s what each one does in those first few days: Jester has an incredible talent for languages. In the first days, he gathers books and newspapers to start learning before he passes it on to the others.

Ticket Taker visits local places in more casual clothes he learns best by observing and interacting.

The Doctor is usually the least seen in public, and if he goes out, it’s only at night. At first, he just wanders around the hotel and nearby areas until he’s familiar with the new environment.

Pierrot goes shopping for supplies, usually dressed casually, often accompanied by Ticket Taker or Harlequin.

Harlequin practically roams through the whole city. He enjoys watching the daily routine of the place and testing out what he can do before returning to the hotel.
