Lin walks in with a smile, giving slightly flourished wave.
"Well, well, if it isn't my favourite rescuers... How are we all doing today?"
Phew... Lemme know how I can pay you back, hm? I owe you my life.

The Knife Game item has been unlocked in Joyful Jamboree

Check the fourth post on the front page for an update.

Voting has begun.
YOU HIT THE TARGETS...

Taking a deep breath and bracing yourself, you try to get into the zone. You just need to ignore the anxious, living being before you that you could easily kill with one wrong throw and focus on the board around him. Easy. Child’s play. You got this.

One by one, you toss the coloured knives into their corresponding targets, a playful chime ringing each time you make a correct hit. A bead of sweat rolls down your temple as you try to ignore Lin’s increasingly sharp inhales of distress each time the knife flies closer towards him. Finally with a quick prayer, you toss the final blade, closing your eyes and waiting. There’s an agonizingly long pause of silence, and your palms grow clammy, fearing the worst. After that extended moment of torture, a playful jingle begins to play, and you finally exhale the breath you didn’t realize you were holding.

Opening your eyes, you watch as the metal restraints release around Lin’s wrists and ankles, allowing him to jump down from the wheel’s platform. He lets out a heavy sigh of relief before giving you a warm, genuine smile, walking up to your side, “How lucky am I to have such a dashing hero come to my rescue, hm?” He laughs, before giving you a playful wink.

You’re relieved to see he’s back to his usual self, you didn’t expect to see him that distressed over something you’d think he would be used to by now. He gives you a sheepish smile and a soft chuckle.

“I’m not exactly a fan of feeling trapped or enclosed, so I tend to avoid those situations. I’m no good if I’m losing my cool, you know?” He lets out a quick laugh, “It doesn’t help when you have an untrained performer tossing knives at you, either. No offense, of course, you were a natural.”

You don’t take offense, because that should be a normal human reaction. You offer to lead him from this nightmare scape and he gratefully accepts.

“Of course. As fun as spending time with you is, I would much rather enjoy it somewhere less… Mn, threatening. Heh. Shall we?”

You haven’t the faintest idea what could be behind this strange door. The chipped, aged door is painted in colours that were probably once garish, but now appear muted from time. The upside down horseshoe hung above and the knife stuck within the door’s wood don’t instill a lot of confidence in you.

On stepping inside, you’re greeted by the sight of fusted, rundown rides and faded, dilapidated tents. In the distance the sound of carnival music drifts through the air, but instead of the usual upbeat and inviting melody you would expect, it sounds warped and distorted.

As you walk past the various attractions, you spot one in particular that calls out to you. You stand before the sign, a large plank of wood that’s been hand painted in bold, red letters:

“Once in a lifetime opportunity! THE DEADLY KNIFE GAME! A heart stopping experience!”

That definitely doesn’t sound ominous at all. Taking it as a cue, you follow the sign’s painted arrow into a nearby tent, immediately squinting as you’re greeted by darkness. Your eyes aren’t given a chance to adjust before you’re shielding them, as a plethora of spotlights suddenly flood the tent with overwhelming brightness. Lowering your hand to investigate, you’re immediately struck by whose dream this is.

Strapped to a massive, spinning wheel in the middle of the tent, you see Cirque ad Infinitum’s ringleader, Lin. His usual shameless confidence seems to be replaced with an expression of fear and worry, but upon spotting you he offers a weak smile, “Oh, hey, glad to see you… I’m uh… I’m usually on the other side of this trick, heh. You uh, you wouldn’t mind helping me down, would you?”

Of course, you’re here to help. However, as you try to take a step forward, a hooded figure stops you. Before you’re able to react, they shove a couple of throwing knives into your grasp before fading from view. Above Lin, a new sign lights up.

“1000 Points to Win a Prize: Freedom!”

You don’t like where this is heading, and judging from Lin’s shaky sigh, you can tell he doesn’t either.

“I guess I’m at your mercy… Luckily for us both, I trust you. Just uh, do me one favour... Try not to hit anything too important?”

Yeah. Easy. No pressure, no pressure at all.

@KittyBeary : A letter has arrived for you.


Original Letter: "Can I have your hand in marriage So, what's it like being a ringmaster?? :D (Eheheh........)"

"Interesting... You know most people ask for a date first, right? Heh, I'll think about it...

And being a ringmaster is what I was born to do.
It can be a lot of work, especially behind the scenes, but it's all worth it to see our audiences smile and soak in that applause.
Hmm, and between you and me, I might also enjoy having the spotlight just a bit...
Of course, it makes me even happier to see my friends be able to shine."
