((SFW-ish Starter/Prompt)) - As the circus put the final touches on its vibrant setup, an air of excitement stretched through the streets. Pierrot was assigned the task of distributing colourful flyers, a role he was supposed to share with Harlequin. However, he determined that tackling this alone would spare him the extra annoyance that Harlequin brought along.

"Once I wrap up here, perhaps I’ll whip up something delightful for dessert," Pierrot mused, his customary smile fixed firmly on his mask as he bounced joyfully through the lively streets. But soon, a glimmer of uncertainty crept into his thoughts, pulling his attention away from his cheerful task.

SMACK

Without warning, Pierrot was thrust into a chaotic whirl as he found himself slammed to the ground, the flyers flying from his hands and scattering like confetti across the pavement. A burly man loomed over him, his face twisted in rage as he kicked the papers around, creating an unceremonious mess.

"Get out of here, you freak!" the man bellowed. His voice echoed through the gathering crowd. "Ever since your kind showed up, people have been disappearing!"

Stunned, Pierrot remained frozen on the ground, clouds of confusion swirling in his mind. "Should I move? No, it’s better to stay still," he concluded, acknowledging that any hint of resistance might only stoke the flames of the man's fury.

Around him, a crowd began to swell, their whispers forming a tapestry of judgment and curiosity. They were mere spectators, offering no aid; instead, they gawked at Pierrot, their eyes brimming with misplaced blame, eager to decipher what offence he had committed to warrant such hostility.

"One wrong move and they'll turn against the circus," he reminded himself, his heart heavy with the weight of responsibility. He couldn’t place his home or family in jeopardy, even if it meant enduring this torment in silence. "He'll tire himself out soon," Pierrot rationalised, doing his best to ignore the sharp sting on his cheek. "If he hits me again, ridicules me, or draws blood, that will surely quench his thirst for cruelty."

This painful scene replayed incessantly in the theatre of his mind, an all-too-familiar script etched in his memory.

Suddenly, a shout broke through the haze of his thoughts. His eyes snapped open, and he looked up in surprise. Usually, someone like Jester, Harlequin, or even the Ticket Taker would take action to intervene.

But this time..?
