// i want to do stuff with this thing but i genuinely have no serious ideas
I had nothing to do with that. Entirely unrelated yellow.
So I've heard. What title will you take instead?
Only Caine, I no longer consider myself a Ringmaster.
// plotting with this character has the potential to be fucked up or really funny
There is always /something/. Whether you are aware of it or not.
"but i don't know what to believe...i...don't have anything to base any beliefs on."
If you act in accordance with who you believe yourself to be, does the distinction truly matter?
"that, and...i...my memory is too inconsistent to form any complete thoughts. i can't even rationalize things i do minutes after i do them. i don't remember who i am, i don't remember why i exist, i...i don't...i don't even know if i'm actually who i claim to be."
Arguing with copies of yourself for an entire day straight?
"none of you can even BEGIN to grasp what i have to deal with on a daily basis..."
*the king is lurking and stalking when you least expect it. lying, its bigass can't lurk, it's just standing there.*
*he's using what little power he still has left in the circus to. turn random stuff yellow. wonderful use of time.*
That is where the error in your assumption lies. I am not like anyone else here, nor did I arrive by the same means. We may be confined here in a similar sense, but I am no mere member of your cast.
well... not everyone handles entering the circus very well. and they definitely do not handle the information that comes next very well at all.
*fucking. bewildered.* And what reason do you have to be worried?
i'm not trying to be condescending! i'm just... genuinely worried about you. even though you showed up acting like a jerk.
/This/ world, whatever it may be. Something is wrong. I am more real than this. Than you. I do not mean this to disparage, it is simply a fact.
[ BLINK. ] ... how am i certain the world doesn't revolve around you? are you... are you serious?
And what, pray tell, makes you so certain of /that/?
he's not— okay, listen, just because he wasn't here to welcome you doesn't mean he's a bad ringleader. god. the world doesn't revolve around you, you know.
I am unsure if an ineffective leader is any better than an absent one.
oh, no. he's around. he's just dealing with some stuff, i think.
My arrival seems to have been at an opportune time. Those in power are falling apart.
*there are no eyes to be rolled in return, but. somehow, eniac can feel that it happens.*
he rolls his eyes.
I don't believe the choice would be up to you, but your perceived benevolence is. noted.
"...hm. you seem alright, i'll let you keep whatever powers you've got. just don't do anything stupid."
I know not what forces led to me gracing this world, but it is of no consequence. I am the King no matter where I reside.
he seems to have lost his edge, and is genuinely intrigued. "oh?"
