The male stared at the moon, his tail out as he took a gentle breath, "Excuse me?" The male turned his head surprised, seeing a little girl with her hair over her eye. "Not many people can sneak up on me." The girl smiled softly before she walked over, "I'm going to be called Doll... at the circus." "Are you? You don't seem to like that." "No... I'd rather have something interesting." "Freckles." "Huh?" "I think Freckles works for you."

Ashi gave a small chuckle before he was called over, "Fox!" Ashi looked amused as the colorful ringleader happily jogged over, "Yes Joker?" Joker gave an excited smile towards Ashi, "How would 'ee like to perform today?" He tilted his head with a blank look, "Tonight?" Joker looked surprised at his lack of excitement, "Of course! 'Ee be a first string now!" Ashi nodded as if he was told he was needing to pick something up from a store, "Alright. Thank you." Ashi was calm before he went to follow Sebastian and William, "Yoichi. You're here?"

"Yes. But I'm curious on why you two decided to leave the practice tent." Ashi's tails swished side to side as he looked down upon the two rivals. William was all too honest as he motioned towards Sebastian, "This filthy demon forced me to." Ashi nodded before he sat down on the top of one of the carts, "Why am I here, you ask?" Ashi just observed, clearly looking annoyed, "To think I, an administrator, would be forced into field duty to clean up after a certain prat in collections while he's suspended! I curse my luck." Ashi smirked swishing his tails, his hat off his head and his smirk wide. William looked throughly irritated at the thought of being in the circus, "I didn't think graduating with him entailed traveling round fixing his mistakes." A figure with red hair, a red coat, and a white shirt was laughing, as Ashi bristles at the character, who just disappeared.

"I assume that a grim reaper personally doing undercover work implies special circumstances?" Ashi rolled his eyes as he closed his eyes, obviously bored, "Do you really think I'd reveal soul-related information to a demon? That would be like setting rabbits loose before a wolf, or a fox before a dog." Ashi stiffened up at the simile he had used, "William!" Sebastian gave a smile as he tilted his head, "I'm afraid I have no interest in cheap souls." Ashi's tails moved side to side, in a predatory way, "Fine words for a starving demon. I know you're half-mad with hunger." Ashu smirked as he calmly gave a noise of a growl in a playful way, "I've long since tired of ripping into every soul I see. The hungrier one is, the most satisfying one's dinner."

"How perverse." Ashi nodded before Sebastian smirked, "Not as perverse as your temp worker. And you can rest easy. I'm on a short lead at the moment." Ashi chuckled, as he observed the two, William placed his scythe that he holds, handle down on the ground, "Very well. I'll speak plainly. In the next few days, we plan to review a large number of souls in this area." Ashi begun to think for a bit his ears picking up a sound, "This is a very special case, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't interfere."

"That sounds very Taxing. Why don't I assist you?" Ashi watched as the top hat was snatched right off his head with William's death scythe, "I can't abide unpaid overtime. If you interfere, I'll cut you down." The hat was released, as it begun to float down out of the sky, "I don't associate with reapers for the fun of it in any case." Ashi flipped off the waggon before he took the hat out of the air and wore it running his hands along the brim, "Particularly as I have no interest in cheap souls." Ashi smirked as he turned his head, "Oi! The show's about to start. That obnoxious knife-thrower wants you. And Joker says you're performing, Yoichi." He smiled, "Well, that's my cue. Excuse me."

Ashi sashaying away with Sebastian's hat:

Ashi rolled his shoulders as he prepared himself to walk out, he was to change before he performed, then as an encore he would do it in his circus 'uniform'. He wore black wrist gloves, and black pants that fit his body, his back and chest showing as his ears and tails shown. Piece of cake. Especially when you can control it. He held two items, as a few more were out on the ground that would be his area.
