None of the assailants expected the tentacles to appear from Harlequinn, some of them jumping back in shock, while some of them made an attempt to retreat.
Not the Host though. Whole stunned for a moment, The Entertainer was quick to grab his diamond-like weapon. Materializing chains from thin β
Harlequinn made an attempt to avoid the attacks incoming. It was too many for him to handle. The monster lacked strength compared to the other circus. Each hit against him was semi-brutal. Painful hisses come from him.
There was one choice he could do to have a fighting chance back.ββ¬οΈ
The knife did manage to hit the clown, which caused them to collapse.
However... The others don't bat an eye or move to take care of the downed clown. In fact, they take that as an initiative to attack.
Closing in on Harlequinn, the clowns throw punches and scratches, and occasionally an β

βHmm, no thank you my pointy ear dear. Iβm not interested with a possible copycat performance.β
He heard the clownsβ steps getting closer. His green pupils shifted side to sideβthere was no way to slip away. The only option was to fight them and maybe have a slim chance to flee.

My dangerous dear~ππ
Is this clown... Flirting as a defense mechanism? That alone has him perplexed.
No matter, The Entertainer isn't one to fall for tricks like this so easily. Two can play at that game.
β The show was about to start, dearest. Surely you wouldn't want to miss it? β
While he played his little act, β
The eyes narrowed about the VIP. Heβs like that all isnβt suspicious at all. Hmm how far he could push this host to snap. His hand keeps a firm grip on the weapon handle.
βWell, arenβt you cute. Giving a special gift to me. But I must askβ¦ What does this VIP offer for me? Or this VIP more*+β¬οΈ
My dangerous dear~ππ
The Entertainer stopped to observe the other's body language. Good, it seems he's made the other uncomfortable.
Feigning confusion, a hand presses to his chest in fake offense.
β Rude? Good heavens, no! I just want you to stay a little longer for the show! That's all, dear guest. β
β
Harlequinn stopped in his tracks as the smile faded from his mouth mask. One of the gloved claws reached down to the knife sheath, firmly gripping the handle. He turned back around and snarled.
βOh showing your true feelings? How cuteβ¦ But Iβm the one who that flirts to get someone to stay.β

Squint hidden beneath his mask, he crosses his arms. Having his lie be seen through wasn't expected, it usually works. This one's too smart, and he can't let him leave.
With a snap of his fingers, a few of his clowns emerge from their stations to block the way.
β Leaving so soon? β β
Harlequinn wasnβt buying what the stranger was saying. The mask semi darkens from the top half, half turning his head away. He hummed.
βHmm what I heard the red member seemed attacked had the host. Your story isnβt adding up with the strangers, dear one.β

My dangerous dear~ππ
That irks the Entertainer, but he doesn't show it. Taking the moment to stare at the other.... Wait, his uniform. It looks similar to the monster he has in the basement.
He knows too much.
β Rumors you say? My, I do have a cast member who wears red.. but I'm afraid he was working on the β
βSureβ¦ Anyways I been hearing about these rumors about this circus of yours. Someone that has a mask on and wears red all gave quite an interesting show.β
He chuckled, continuing on talking.
βI wouldβve enjoyed watching that show.β
My dangerous dear~ππ
β Oh? I never said anything about wanting to be buddies, dear guest. I fear you're putting words in my mouth. β
