Pierrot

big doggy meets another big doggy

The big sweetheart will find out what you are sooner than you can tell him, if you even do. While your human form hides your monstrous nature, Pierrot is observant enough to feel that something was "off" with you from the beginning. Of course, so long as you keep loving him so sweetly until he can't breathe, he doesn't what you are.

When you tell him or he reveals that he knows, he will make it his mission to help you however you can. He can't let you be hungry or starved any longer, and if that means that more people than planned need to go missing, then that is what will happen. He will feed you piece by bloody piece of fresh human meat, picked from humans that he deems as healthy enough for your consumption. Pierrot is the one who cooks the most for his family, so he will also put his skill to the test if it means he can feed you.

Seeing you so hungry all the time hurts his soul, not to mention it brings back memories. And while he is happy to supply you with meat, the act of it all can get him quiet. He'll watch you devour the meal with delight, but at the same time, he feels sick to his stomach. The scent of still-warm blood, the sound of teeth tearing muscles and flesh apart, it brings him back to that terrible, moonless night...

But who needs to dwell on the past? It happened already, you can't change it, so instead he'll learn to adapt as he always does.

Food aside, Pierrot would be happy to see that you tend to stick close to the circus. If you both had the time and you allowed it, Pierrot would love to go to a secluded place like the woods to watch you change form. He promises you that he'll be safe around you, swears on it! Though he might get a little too close for your comfort while you are a werewolf, but your fur is too tempting to not pet!

Harlequin

What a cute pet...

Harlequin would love to mess around with you. Will you be a good pup? Listen to his every word? Good behavior deserves a treat, you know...

Teasing aside, Harlequin would be interested in you beyond the fact that you've caught Pierrot's attention. Another monster is not uncommon, but it surely isn't often that he's able to be so close to one that has such cumbersome ailments. Starving hungry and dealing with being a beast for days on end... Welcome to his life.

Still, like the others, Harlequin will have sympathy for such a hungry dog. However, he won't be as generous as Pierrot or Jester, per se. He'll aide you in eating, but Harlequin demands repayment. Usually, it's just entertainment that you may or may not find enjoyment out of, but it surely makes you question at times if the food from him is worth it. Though, you find he does offer more when you obey his commands.

You sticking around the circus like a slowly orbiting planet amuses him greatly. He might even compare you to a guard dog in the process. Such a curious creature, likely unaware of what you're doing. You can fool humans, but you won't fool him.

Ticket Taker

An intriguing beast, able to hide itself in plain sight...

I see Ticket Taker holding a bit of respect for you as another who walks among humans in a disguise. While he can't entirely hide his uncannier nature, you're seamless. A seemingly harmless human with an insatiable appetite for human flesh, so similar to monsters he knows so well.

Respect or not, Ticket Taker would still keep you at an arm's length away. You're a starving monster, a powerful one at that. That is not something to interact with unless necessary. However, when Pierrot begins to follow you, and you start to linger, that is when Ticket Taker takes action.

At first, it is simple, familiar tactics. Offer a pick ticket, lead you to the tent, tie you down, and then decide what to do with you. That was the plan, until he found you bearing a red ticket of all things. Damn that clown...

When Harlequin starts to take interest in you on top of it all, TT thinks he might just lose his damn mind. Now there's two members of the circus fawning and following a werewolf with an empty stomach. Just his luck. It doesn't help that you have an inkling of what's going on in the circus and have been poking around.

TT would be the last one to feed you anything. Sure, he understands hunger, but the circus and its occupants matter more to him than a mutt. The only way he would outside of being ordered directly, is if you gain his favor. If you listen to his direction like a good visitor and stay within the lines, he might just "accidentally" allow a fleeing human to unknowingly run to your maw.

Jester

Sweating he is indeed.

A werewolf who is a starved to hell and back getting close to Pierrot is far too concerning for him to ignore. Jester knows all too well what hunger can do to a person, how the constant twisting of an empty stomach can drive even a saint to damnation.

He will not allow you to stick around for longer than necessary, let alone near Pierrot. Jester would keep a closer eye on the lover boy and, if it got too risky, would ban him from leaving the circus at night for fear that he'd follow you to your home. He has worked so hard for his family to stay safe, and he is not willing to see another get devoured.

However, if human meat is what you're after, he can help with that.

The pink tickets are given to some that nobody cares to take. If relocation is an option and none care to eat the human themselves, Jester would offer you a meal, but don't expect him to be generous at all times. He has his own to care for, but he is not always cruel. Jester can sympathize with starvation to a rather sickening degree, so he supposes he could lend some empathy every once in a while.

If it would get rid of a threat, then why not throw a dog a bone?

Just don't get comfortable. Fellow monster or not, he will deal with whoever stick their nose where they don't belong. Any morsel you get from his is a mercy, a privilege that you ought to acknowledge. After all, he can just as easily take it away and reduce you to a weak, shivering, helpless little thing as he once was. The idea almost sounds tempting, cathartic, even.

Doctor

A monster hailing from folktales, ravenous despite the abundance of meals around you... Fascinating.

I see Doctor being a mix of Pierrot and TT when it comes to dealing with you. Being more isolated, Doctor would be less inclined to be keeping track of your hanging presence at the circus. He'll drive you away, if need be, but I see him inviting you in. You are a perfect specimen to study, take apart, and test. He'll feed you the leftovers of his other studies until the pain of hunger melts away, only to take it right out of your hands. How would you react? Would you curse him, attack him, or show your beastly form? Or would you stay still and stare, simply too pained by the loss to fight?

So many questions, so few answers...

If his curiosity were to really get to him, he might even slip you some flesh tainted with the contents of his syringes. Don't worry, you'll survive it. Doctor needs you alive after all.

Though, ever playful, he'll entertain himself with your behaviors. How would other humans react to the sight of you taking fresh meat from his hands like a pup given a treat? It's adorable, really. Maybe you should be also given a femur to gnaw on in-between scarce meals.
