"Plenty is never enough." He started walking toward the food aria. "Anyways, what's a little bit more. We are at a carnival after all." He stoped and turned around waiting for the other two to catch up.

Jenna followed him, really not wanting cotton candy but not wanting to hurt Ezra's feelings.

Six's booth stood off on its own, away from the general food area. It was kinda towards the back of the Carnival grounds, it's own little tent with bright colors buried in the shadows of larger, but empty, booths.
He sat there, on a small folding chair, just waiting. He had people come by and purchase cotton candy, but none of them were the kind of people he was looking for.
Maybe in a few minutes more would come by.

(Just popping this in here)

Ōn’nyosh continued shouting for a good while, but when nothing happened, he turned to muttering instead. He then decided to do something useful and explore the cage. His instincts told him to avoid the bars, so he did, even though he couldn’t get a real good look outside of the cage by doing so.

As he knelt down to inspect the bare metal floor of the cage, his long hair cascaded down his shoulders and face. He sat up, gathering his wavy locks in his hand, then stared at his hair. He usually kept it securely braided, but apparently he couldn’t even have that.

“Fucking piss-blooded asshole,”he said with an irritated sigh.

(Sorry, sorry!)

"True, true." Joy shrugs.

She spots a peculiar stall that seemed very popular. She points it out.

"Hey, let's go there! Maybe they have cotton candy!"

Six finished selling some pink, fluffy, pure sugar to a mom and her kid. He watched the child giggle as the cotton candy dissolved in his mouth.
Movement caught his attention, and he glanced up to see 3 kids coming up to the the booth. They all looked to be around 20, in good health, and were unchaperoned by parents or old or younger siblings.
Perfect.
He smiled at them as they approached.

"Alright, let's get this over with." Jenna muttered, pulling two bills out of her pocket, a ten and a five.

"oh no, you don't get to pay if you're not eating any." He pulled out a ten and handed it to the man behind the counter. "two bags of any color please." He said with a smile.

Six smiled his most winning smile and kept the ten on the counter.
"What if I said none of you had to pay if you were willing to try a new flavor? I would welcome all of your opinions."
He pulled out 3 bags of a purple-colored cotton candy, a slightly iridescent sheen making it reflect the lighting. "I've been working on the flavor for a while, and I'd like to know what you think. All of you." He slid them each a bag, even the one who'd said they didn't want any.
"Give it a try. I think it's so good, it'll change your life…"

"You really don't have to…" Jenna said, eyeing the bag skeptically.

"Oh, please, I insist." Six wasn't taking no for an answer. He slid the bags right into their hands.
"Youve touched it now, I can't take those back. You'd be doing me a huge favor if you'd just give it a try." He smiled again. "And it's free, whether you like it or not."

Joy smiles and takes the bag immediately.

"Thank you!" she exclaims, immediately tearing the bag open and eating the candy.

Her eyes widen in surprise. "That's an interesting take on purple, indeed."

Multiple fruits, multiple flavors, layered over and under each other, assault her tongue with no sense of sequence or order.
It's like a purple explosion in her mouth.
Six watches, genuinely interested in what she thinks of the flavor.

"There's coconut. Passionfruit. Kiwi. A bit of green apple. A hint of mint, for a bit of kick." Joy says, closing her eyes as the candie dissolves in her mouth.

"Artificial banana, nice touch; and grape." she adds.

She opens her eyes and grins.

"You, sir, are amazing."

"And every bite should be a little different." Six says evenly, trying to encourage the others to eat.

Jenna sighed. "Fine. Its not like its gonna kill us or anything…"

(She's right. . . but just barely XD )

Joy grins.

"Truly, sir, you are a wonder of the sweets industry."

Six's smile grew. "Of course not! You will be very much alive after trying it."

She opened the bag slowly, tugged a small piece of the candy from the rest, and put it in her mouth after hesitating for a moment. Then, she said, "Wow, this is actually amazing!"

Ezra grabbed a bag and opened it slowly, the smell of sugar hitting him and making him smile. “it smells amazing.” He said then took a large bite the sugars melting in his mouth. “Wooooh.” He said. “That is amazing.”

Against her better judgement, Jenna continued to devour the bag of cotton candy. It was almost as if she was in a trance, focusing only on the purple cloud of sugar.

Joy notices something after a bit. The world seemed to be changing colors, turning. . . black.

"Oh. . . it's drugged. . ." she slurs before the world goes completely dark.

Jenna didn't register what Joy had said until she had the last bit of cotton candy a centimeter from her mouth. "Wait, what?" The words coming out of her mouth didn't seem right. They felt muted and muffled.

Ezra watched as the other two dropped and he looked at the vendor. "That was kind of mean." he said before putting another piece into his mouth and then joining his friend on the ground, unconscious.

Six chuckled quietly as the third kid dropped. He'd made his mix less bombastic over the years, and his favorite part was people realizing the food was drugged and still eating it. That always made him laugh a little.
~~~~
The three kids woke up in very similar situations. Stripped of their clothes and belongings, locked in electrified cages sitting on the cement flooring of a place they didn't know. The room they were in smelled of antiseptic and the pungent odor of blood. There was a 4th cage with another young person in it, but to all of them, the space was eerily silent.
Magically soundproofed, they'd find out later.
Six was sitting in shadow across the room, watching their reactions.

Ōn’nyosh glanced up from fiddling with his hair when he noticed something different about the room around him. He noticed three other folks, another guy and two young women. Out of courtesy, he shifted to better hide his privates, though the more brazen part of him wondered why he should even bother.

After a few minutes of looking around, and realizing that he wasn’t familiar with some of the sights and smells around him, Ōn’nyosh noticed Six. His eyes immediately narrowed into a fierce glare, and he flashed several obscene gestures at the man.

“So, you piss-blooded, snaggled-toothed son of a bitch named Fur-Fucked-Shit, what twisted fucking hell do you have planned for us? What, another tart to go with your plate of shit?”he snapped after a moment.

Six smiled as the Jester flashed some angry gestures his way, and proceeded to likely curse him out.
Six couldn't hear it, because of the sound proofing in the room. The Jester was mouthing in complete silence, though he wouldn't know that.

Joy slowly comes to her senses, and looks around the dark room. She notes her friends - plus a strange looking reptile man - are all in cages, and there's the man who sold them the candy in the first place sitting on a. . . bed?

Whatever the case, they were underground, everyone was clearly naked - which didn't really faze her all that much, though seeing Ezra's bare ass mooning her did ellicit a blush - and Lord only knew what this man was going to do.

She sighs as the lizard starts yelling.

"Jesus Harold Christ, will you shut up? He may not be able to hear you but we sure as hell can."
