Geek

If you're going to do anything you have to get a drink first, you head over to Charley's still, you can only hope Ajax isn't there.

"What the fuck is that smell? Oh it's the fucking lame ass Geek, why am I not surprised?" Ajax shouts when he sees you coming.

Well so much for hope. Normally you'd run, but Charley's also there and will keep Ajax from killing you (Maybe not beating you though) plus your reliance on alcohol in any form drives you on even in the presence of possible danger.

"Lemme guess Geek, you want a drink?" Charley asks. "Ah good ol' predictable Geek. Here you go."

Charley pours you some of the swill that you consider the Nectar of the Gods and drink it greedily. He pours you another when you finish it. Charley's being unusually cool with you.

"Can't get enough eh? Here's another…so what'd the Ring Master want to see you for?"
"Huh?"
"I said what the fuck did the Ring Master want to see you for? Surely it wasn't about your act, you eat disgusting shit and that's the end of it. So what did you talk about?"

Charley's demeanor has changed severely. He's looking at you intently to determine if you're going to lie to him. You're thrown off guard and can only stutter a response.

"Um, nothing much, he, um…I mean she…uh…"
"WRONG ANSWER GEEK!" Charley yells, punching you in the nuts and at his height, he lands a good hit. You collapse like a rag doll, and then Ajax puts his foot on your neck while you hold your scrotum in pain.

Charley continues his interrogation this time with his sharp stick pointed near your eye.

"Now you're gonna tell me what you and that pale she male freak talked about or you'll have something in common with Atlas! Talk!"
"(Groan) Alright! Okay! The Ring Master thinks change in this carnival is coming and he wants me to convince people that they should be on his side when the shit goes down!"

Charley smirks and looks at Ajax.

"You hear that Ajax? Some SHIT is supposed to go down! This is the first I've heard of any shit going down! You know about any shit going down Ajax?"
"Nope. First I've heard of it. The only shit that goes down around here that is what this fucking Geek eats!"
"Got that right…but just in case there WAS some SHIT going down, I'd say it would be in someone's best interest to not be on the Ring Master's side and be doing his bidding…after all they might find themselves getting hurt very badly."
"Charley you don't have to worry about me! Nobody's going to listen to me, I'm just a Geek!"
"Of course I'm not worried about you! However…if the Ring Master asked YOU to do this, there must be a reason that I'm not readily seeing…I know! You're working for me now!"
"What?!" Ajax asks.
"What?!" you repeat.

"Yeah, all the shit the Ring Master told you to do; you're doing for me now. Trust me you'll be better off when I'm in charge. You can have all the booze you want, a bigger cell, hell I'll even get you LAID! I know a couple of ladies who'll debase themselves almost as much as you will!"

Charley then gets in your face and whispers

"And you won't have to worry about Ajax ever hitting you again with me in charge I promise. But if you betray me, I'll make sure Ajax breaks every bone in your goddamn body and then tosses you to Pervus and his fucked up clown army where they can skull fuck your corpse. Are we clear?"
"Yeah, yeah, sure!" you quickly say.
"Good. Ajax let him up."

You get up and Charley addresses you before you leave.

"Remember, you have until show time Geek, and don't even think about trying to run away, because I'll find you and you know what happens then."

You stagger away with your new mission, you have no idea of how to go about this, so you just think about who might need convincing.

God you could use another drink
