Show me the world, rockstar

Finally, a free day! Well, it wasn’t exactly a free day, but Francesco had given up on homework. Who cared anyway? It was too boring, and he could just play dumb if he got asked about it the next day. He had been waiting to go out all week, but everyone seemed to be too busy to go with him and the puppet did not want to wait any longer. Besides, he was looking nice to day, at least by his own standards, no way he was wasting that. The puppet wasn’t dressed appropriately for the chilly weather, but it’s not like he could actually catch a cold or feel the temperature like a normal person. He was wearing a jean vest, bedazzled on the shoulders, with a t-shirt underneath and black leather pants, his shoes were the least questionable thing of this outfit, just a pair of comfy ones.

The solution to his problem, not the fashion one, was simple, approach new people and drag them with him. Today he had seen that one guy with the sunglass, he looked like the kind of person who knew how to have a little fun, so that’s who he was looking for. After a frustratingly long time, he finally spotted those black locks with red streaks that belonged to him.
He was hoping the other one hadn’t seen him yet, because he was quietly approaching him from behind with a silly smile on his face, and it would be a shame if the surprise was spoiled. Once he was close enough, Francesco put both of his hands on each side of his mouth, as if to make his voice sound louder.

“Heeeey punk rock guy!” he said loudly, hoping to startle him or to get an amusing reaction “You busy?”

Yes, yes! That was exactly what he was expecting “What a cute little jump” the puppet thought. Francesco giggled and clapped his hands together, satisfied. After that, he put them both behind his back, fingers laced, and he rocked on his talons softly.

“Richard Trickson looks like a fun guy” he answered, trying to imitate the way Richard seemed to talk about himself “Care to show me if that’s true? I haven’t gone to any nice place in a while” he added, with the most charming smile he could fake.

Francesco didn’t even care about only knowing this person’s name for like ten seconds, if The Ringmaster had let him play at the circus, how bad could he be? Besides, he DID look like someone who knew how to have fun, at least that’s what he assumed by his looks and those ten seconds.

Whoa, he sure wasn’t used to people being so… nice to him after startling them, not that he was complaining anyway. That had been easier than expected “Good” Francesco muttered right before he was asked a question.

“Huh? A year, kinda” he answered “Well, I’ve been here for a while, but I didn’t really get to go out”

He shrugged, stopping his soft swinging “But you can help me fix that, right? I bet you know some cool place I haven’t seen yet” he snapped his fingers as he said that, with a smile on his face.

“Well then, Francesco” he said, pointing at himself, he found funny how Richard talked about himself so he was going to try too “Has no clue about cool music, so what if Richard Trickson takes Francesco to one of his favorite places?”

He got a little closer, maybe a bit too close, as if it would actually help to convince him. The puppet was not so sure about the music thing shop thing, but maybe he actually found something nice, and thrift stores sounded pretty good.

“Come ooooooon” he insisted, sounding like a little kid who wanted to go to the park “I bet you can blow my mind with something”

A sale! Yes, yes! That was music in Francesco’s ears. He still had some cash to spend this month, and he needed new clothes for his wardrobe really bad. New clothes that would be butchered by his ominous bedazzling gun, obviously.

“Sure, let’s go!” he said with a loud voice that sounded like a violin that needed some serious tuning.

Francesco was already setting off to one of the circus’ entrances in long, cartoonish strides though he had no clue about where was that place exactly. He didn’t need any further confirmation about this trip to the thrift store “Hurry up, turtle”
