Once more with feeling

[From the confused look on his face he may as well have a big flashing sign on his head that reads 'New arrival'.  Most of the residents of the DR are probably used to it, but what they likely won't be used to is the man himself. After all, this persona is normally wearing Allen's face, but that's where the fun of AUs comes in.]

[First thought--Another alternate version of himself? Second; Ahhh, fresh meat to fuck around with.]

My my, you look a bit lost.

[continuetopray]

[Double takes] Tyki?

[cardio_swindle]

[Well scratch the first thought then. Unless he has a twin or something in one of those worlds.]

Guilty as charged. And you are?

[continuetopray]

[Getting all up in your face, what is personal space. And once he's satisfied yes it really is you, pulling back a smidge. Dryly;] Ha ha, it's been a while but don't tell me you forgot my name. Anyway, never mind that. Where are we? And why am I here?

[cardio_swindle]

[Why are you all up in my face, scruffy doppelganger? Regardless, Tyki just raises an eyebrow at the other man.]

I'm afraid I don't know you. After the accident, well, you know. Seem to have forgotten everyone.

[continuetopray]

[It's just what I do, be glad I haven't started touching you yet.] I leave you alone for 15 years and you get into such trouble, honestly.

[cardio_swindle]

[Thank heaven for small favors? Tyki is lighting a cigarette.]

Mama always said I was born under a bad sign. Or I would assume that's what she'd say. [Looking around the drab halls.]

My my, haven't you ever been to a circus before?

[continuetopray]

[14ths are creepy, what are you gonna do]

Circuses are more fun, silly Tyki. Do you see any clowns around here? Not even a tent, this is a terrible circus.

[cardio_swindle]

[Hey as long as you're not knitting him some horrible scarf or something...]

I'd say the lack of clowns is a distinct improvement. Besides, I'm afraid you're wrong. We just haven't encountered one of the jolly fellows yet.

[continuetopray]

[Nothing I could do could ever top the Earl's creations. Best part about defecting was getting to burn those jumpers]

A circus without clowns, what's the point? You never did understand the wonder of circus life, the music, the food, the skimpily dressed beast tamers, breaking time and space in a teeny little car - this is just a hallway. I don't even hear a theme song, disappointing.

[cardio_swindle]

[You lucky dog. That's also the best argument for treachery he's heard yet.]

My my, you sounds rather enamored.

[continuetopray]

[Oh like you wern't inclined to treachery anyway. Destroy them Tyki, it's cathartic!]

I like the circus, of course. It is me after all. And a man of refined taste like me won't accept anything less than a top notch ring.

[cardio_swindle]

[Well less treachery and more disobedience. Turning on the family still doesn't really appeal.]

And who exactly is "me"? Or shall I call you Boffo and be done with it?

[continuetopray]

[I'm telling the Earl to knit you an entire winter outfit. Then we'll see.

Waves his hand dismissively] You never called me by my proper name anyway, Boffo at least sounds fun.

[cardio_swindle]

[Yeah, that would about do it.]

Well then, Boffo, if you head South far enough you're bound to encounter at least one clown.

[continuetopray]

Somehow they don't sound like fun clowns, coming from you.
