twirls a colorful, sinister-looking umbrella as you enter the tent, his unnerving smile cast in the dim light. "G-glad you could j-join me! Welcome b-back... darling!"
laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head H-ha, n-no, no trap here! Just a little... surprise, you know?
and what surprise is that?
grabs StarfishEnigma by the arm and pulls them towards a shadowy corner
what the fuck are you doing
whispers with a mischievous glint in his eyes I have a little game we can play, my dear. It's called... hide and seek. You hide, and I seek... and when I find you... grins well, let's just say it won't be boring.
you're not playing hide and seek with me
tightens his grip on StarfishEnigma's arm Oh, but I am, my dear! It's just a little twist on the classic game.
leans in close, whispering The twist is... I won't just be looking for you in this tent. I'll be watching you everywhere, every corner, every shadow.
lets out a chilling laugh Psycho? Oh, my dear, I prefer the term "chase enthusiast." And you, StarfishEnigma, are going to be my next thrilling chase!
no thanks I run out of the tent
pursues StarfishEnigma, his voice dripping with malice Oh, come now, don't be such a coward!
As StarfishEnigma falls, they land in a hidden pit filled with sharp stakes, piercing their body and leaving them immobilized and in agony.
smirks down at StarfishEnigma, circling them slowly Well, well, well, looks like my little game just got a lot more interesting, doesn't it?
crouches down beside StarfishEnigma, his eyes gleaming with sadistic curiosity Ooh, does it hurt, darling? Don't worry, I'll make sure it hurts a lot.
smirks and strokes StarfishEnigma's hair Good, very much. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. But you know what's even better, my dear?
leans in closer, his voice low and menacing What's better is if we play a little game, just you and me. A game of truth or dare.
grins maniacally Excellent! Let's start simple, shall we? Truth or dare, my dear?
leans back, scrutinizing StarfishEnigma Very well, truth it is. Tell me, my dear, what's your greatest fear?
laughs softly, a sinister glint in his eyes Bugs, huh? Well, lucky for you, I have a few bugs that will surely make your skin crawl.
smirks and snaps his fingers, causing a swarm of buzzing insects to emerge from the shadows
laughs loudly, reveling in StarfishEnigma's fear Ah, my dear, that was just the beginning!
grabs StarfishEnigma's arm forcefully and pulls them back down Where do you think you're going, darling? We're not done having fun yet.
grips StarfishEnigma's cheeks tightly, forcing them to look into his eyes Leaving so soon, my dear?
grins wickedly and releases StarfishEnigma's cheeks Good choice, my dear. After all, there's so much more in store for us.
I sit back down on the ground
As StarfishEnigma sits back down, Thomas Clown reveals a hidden collection of eerie masks and begins to put one on, concealing his identity even further.
winks playfully, the mask's grotesque features contorting with each blink Surprise, darling! It seems we have a new face around here.
starts pacing around StarfishEnigma, his movements fluid and unnerving You know, I've always had a fascination with faces.
