    Mask
    A giant of a man (7ft 6'), broad as a barn (300lb) his muscles are not things curated for gym selfies but thick from use and abuse. The jug jaw can be said to be his most flattering feature, after the badly broken nose, limp locks of hair and sharp shattered teeth. He wears a long poorly made overcoat, suspenders keep trousers up over a ill fitting white work shirt. A battered fedora is his only accessory.

    Mask: a battered brown moth eaten fedora, the hat band looks like a band of sackcloth has been wound around it.

    Mein: made of stitched red and brown leaves, 2 holes for his horn nubbins -- the scarecrows I pictured to be in place of the hat band, just a jumbled array of tiny standing and suspended sackcloth and straw people ringing the main body of the hat.

A broad jaw houses a chaotic array of sharp and curving teeth resembling shards of stone that prevent complete mouth closure ensuring they are always on display.

    To say the giant knows nothing of computers beyond the most basic of things would be entirely fair. "So. Why can't the zero just be changed to a one?" Binary code clearly not part of that basic knowledge. "Ah. Sounds like a lot of stress over not alot if you ask me." And if computers were the fragile then yeah better off without them.

    That he made her jump got a toothy grin. That turns to confusion with what she said. "Uh. So you got surgery to make your eyes that colour?" What else could cause what a mortal classes as unimaginable pain.

    And now he's scratching his head. "Ah. I don't follow. You didn't come to get attention but got it anyway. To the extent you needed to seek a quiet corner." How was that not in the outfits favour? "So. Clearly the look isn't putting people off." She was very good looking there was that to it, but no one was approaching her now so they could in fact be deterred. "Ah. Anyway so what experience has tonight brought you." Nothing to memorable as best as he can tell.

    Not sure on the babies part but the rest. gets mulled over. "Huh. Yeah people do fall over more when they've been drinking. That makes some sense." Still less a bar crawl and more a crawl home but there was more logic to it then he had first given credit. "Nah. It doesn't magnify it just strips control." Lets what is inside out. While true he had run his bottles dry, and he did crave another, drinks from strangers was still a no deal. "Ah. No Thanks." Just a bit to paranoid for that.

    Yeah that sounded about right. "So. the answer is no. You recognise what you've gained from the working man, better then most would do, but you don't walk in their shoes." It was curious how his own perspectives shifted, inevitable due to experiences less then half remembered. But still interesting. "Hm. We all get eaten in the end regardless." Worms would have their fill if nothing else did.

    Now that question, that was easy. "Bah. Cars." Found of cars in a way he was fond of little else, it made the difficulties all the more vexing. Chains invisible, rattle the dark tendencies, the brutish and the hungry. and he leans forward in his seat some. "Oh. Chains can be broken pretty lady, the ones you can see, the ones you can't." It passes as he leans back. "Ah. People just need to be aware enough of themselves to do it." Not all were capable, not all possessed the moxie, grit or stubborn streak or whatever it was needed but it could be done. "Ha. Which do think it is then? Strength, luck or moxie?" Sure she couldn't see what some could, she couldn't know what that meant so her answer was being sought more out of sport then curiosity. "Uh. Credit where it is due is important I'll give you that." Anymore on the matter risked showing to much of his hand.

    Blinking at the giant for a bit, wondering if she was just making things more complicated than needed.
    "It was a jest movie start to finish, what fun would it be if it could be easily solved?" Simple as that. "If you need further words so the ramifications of the deed spread and caused more and more issues faster than they could even begin to be sorted. Like trying to plug cracks in a dam but only being able to plug one before two new appears."

    "That about sums it up yes." The full tale not really one that should be told or shared.

    Giving the giant time to think and piece it all together for himself before answering.
    "Attention and just a general crowd overall, the sheer amount of people makes it hard for well" Looking him over for a brief second. "most to move around freely." Softly chuckling. "Please I think nearly any woman could wear nearly any attire and still not have a hard time to get attention tonight, and any man whom is on good terms with their hygiene could likely get attention as well, and anyone will be getting swamped and moshed together if they do not fight against it." Looking out over the sea of people. "I would say just an experience of a crawl within the city that I now call my home, a chance to see the bars and atmosphere of the people here, maybe not special to most but to me it is quite meaningful." And back to the giant. "And a chance to get to know a man who knows the tale of a circus a tad better."

    "Taking slower steps, on unsure legs, but it is just my guesses not something I have ever really been thinking about as I do not often partake in it." Odd has none of my lives really needed it? "It strips down your own mental barriers, allowing the feelings within to come forth, magnifying the sensation to which you feel them as the dams or defenses are no longer firmly there." Merely shrugging in answer not a topic she saw any need to push.

    Letting silence sit between them for a few moments before answering.
    "I think that is a fair estimation yes, maybe it is just my own privilege's talking though." That silver spoon was not always a good thing. "Oh but there are some fun ways one can get eaten before the final time." A slow lick of her lips with a teasing grin to mark what she had spoken about.

    Not certain if the answer was the most expected or if it was so expected it was almost unexpected.
    "They are certainly seldom made for the tall, how do you get around those issues?" Of course they could, there was not a chain that could not, even the chains of mortality were possible to get lifted after all. "There is no chain that cannot be broken, the question is just if you have the strength to see the chain and fight against it hard enough to break it. And of course the wisdom to see what will replace it." No one was ever freed of them all. "Do you want an answer where I am tactful or where I give the bloody honest truth even if it is not the prettiest of images?" Knowing to be a bit tactful at least, and not wanting to speak in a manner that might be unwise without warning.

    A scowl forms on the rough face of the giant. "Uh. I thought it was meant to be a horror movie?" And if a Horror movie had an easy solution then it wasn't scary. "Bah. They don't make good horror movies anyway." Kids playing the street told better horror stories then Hollywood. With rumour and whisper of why certain places were off limits, the secret identity of the lonely old person living in the crumbling house. The imaginations filling in blanks and creating cautionary tales all their own.

    The giant shrugs, people did odd things to their bodies. He hadn't heard of this one before but whatever. Sounds like something a spring might do actually. Granted that might take more then surgery.

    She probabaly isn't wrong about that but he wasn't out looking for that kind of company tonight which made her only mostly right. "Oh. I think there would be some exceptions to that." Plenty of drunken sex would happen tonight of course but that was true every weekend. "Uh? You knew to the city then?" Can't be that new having met before the turn of the new year. Then she says something a little odd, words the trickle cold down his spine and make him take as much notice as he can. "Ah. And why would you be interested in getting to know me pretty lady?" Serve as a convenient shield from gawkers and drunkards made sense but active interest was a change in the story that didn't sit well.

    Wait was she flirting with him now? or was that just a flirty remark. Either way its not how people acted around him and the giant seems caught rather off guard, sufficiently so not to elicit a remark or comment for a few beats as the ingrained cannibalistic tendencies play out in his head. What he considers fun eating.

    The question on cars is what shakes him back to the here and now. "Um. I uh just get on with it." Cramped and uncomfortable but that was what you had to do. Wisdom had not been a consideration when breaking his own chains only the means and ability to do so. "Uh. Part of what makes the answer interesting is how you choose to give it." When asking questions about himself it was always far more interesting to let the person responding flail.

    A raised eyebrow at the reaction of the giant, were they truly speaking so differently?
    "The movie concept itself was the jest, the genre up for interpretation." It really didn´t matter. "I will say that I would find a simple and minor catalyst far scarier than needing a grand monster or wicked one. You can always reason them away, but something minor, a simple small thing that could happen to anyone having severe ramifications now that is something else." Placing her right arm upon the table to lean her cheek against her fist with a grin. "Well the dark universe utterly failed to launch in 2017 and the majorly known horror is either old names or Hotel Transylvania and that doll horror crap so cannot argue with you there."

    Shrugging at his words.
    "There are always exceptions, and not all seek it." She certainly didn´t, to few who would even be worth a second look other than food but with the green in their systems better not. "Semi new, been here little over half a year. So still plenty of things to explore and get acquainted with." Eyeing him up and down for a moment. "Yourself you from here?" Looking between the group of people and back to the giant. "Now that is simple, unlike the rest of these drunkards you have neither hit on me once, have a proven interest in books and able to hold a conversation with no expectations. Giving me a much welcome reprieve." Keeping a calm look as she leans herself back into her seat. "That is all, I hope you have not taken offense."

    Noting his reaction, and letting out a single soft chuckle at his reaction.
    "I jest man who knows the tale of a circus, forbidden humor of youth shining through nothing else."

    "Have you considered building a car to suit you?" Thinking for a moment, raising her glass up with a whiff, about to drink before setting it down again. "Not luck, no I would say you were clearly born with external strength, but it took you time to hone it to an internal one. Likely a sensation of isolation, one that set its marks, hardships untold that only a select few could even begin to comprehend. A near breaking point where you had but one choice, internalize it and get moxie, learn to use all that you had or break, and you did not break. Any luck is one you made for yourself." Leaning back with a glance for a route to dash away, ready to bolt should the need arise. "How did I do?"

    Oh no here he disagreed and quiet fervently. "No. Grand horror is much worse and I don't mean just spectacle mind." Oh no never that. "No. Horror should go marrow deep." He should be able to taste it. "Ah. It's the small stuff you can reason away. A mistake, got out hand." A glint in the pale eyes as he talks something he cares for it seems. "Ah. But how do you explain the grand schemes, the effort and toil that goes into the insidious actions. That's when you know you have a real monster on your hands." History didn't remember the small stuff it remembered those who invoked so much horror they could not be forgotten.

    Ah the awkward phase of not being new anymore but not being old either yeah he understood that peculiar situation. "Hm. I have only ever been as I am here." A nice play on words A good number of places had formed him in to the thing he was today but no other had known him as he was now, that was a product of this city so in a way that was from here. She had made it sound like she had come out with the intent to know him better like it had been a plan but maybe that was just mortals not knowing their words. "Hm. Alright what books do you want to talk about?" That should settle any qualms on the issue.

    Yeah even in jest it wasn't an experience he had, people looked at him and thought better and he didn't go seeking it so he remains quiet on that whole thing.

    Cars, cars are better. "Uh. Why would I do that when they are cars I want?" Sure it would be more comfortable but comfort wasn't the goal or priority. His head tilts to one side as she speaks, the consideration to snap her neck then and there not for hunger just to stop her talking flashed across his thoughts. Bu Circe would be mad if he committed murder so publicly. "Now. Pretty lady." And that suddenly wasn't a moniker or a compliment but rumbled out like with unspoken threat. "What about me suggests my hardships were any worse then the next guys?" Centring his stance once more. "Or. Are you just telling me what you think I want to hear?" So he had admitted to being poor, that was hardly a struggle others couldn't imagine.

    Starting to stand up.
    "I would never do such a thing, I got honest and spoke what I saw. As for the full tale behind it well this night is not right for it, if chance makes us meet again feel free to ask should curiosity linger within you oh man who knows the tale of a circus." Waving playfully at him before beginning to slip into the crowds. "And please if you could, think of a book to recommend me if such a time would come."

    Slipping into the crowds, ready to do what she was out to do, to crawl and let the night take her away before finishing in her own home with a good book, free from this annoying green everywhere.

    Thanks for the scene, and sorry about my disappearance at the end.
