Just wrapped finals and getting back to this!!! Thanks for waiting patiently :D
IdiotScout - "Out of love... For someone so rough around the edges, you've sure gone soft."
If Alder can turn the Circus against Nightmare and his guilt, he would do so in a heartbeat. It's always fun for him to watch people who were formerly on his "level" get dethroned. The circus itself would probably feel worse about Nightmare's current state than Alder himself... Wild when the eldritch being shows more sympathy for others than its puppet.
Freyanistic - "Honestly, I think the career path of dressing like an animal and committing crimes is admirable. That's essentially what I do every day if you count humans as an animal... and my flesh as a costume. Okay, I guess it's nothing like me, but I can dream!"
Alder can't perceive aesthetics but I think even he would conclude that Freya is cool as hell. He's missing a piece of his soul, but he isn't blind. I do think he would fall victim to underestimating her because she's short and human, but I think she can handle herself enough to correct that mistake real quick. Sadly, Alder's approval doesn't take people off the chopping block for him, so if Freya is unlucky enough to find herself on his playing field, she'll have to fight for her life like everyone else. Seeing as she's a thrill seeker, though, she might love it. Alder would point her toward the Magician if she wanted some chaos.
AsianTapWater - "A studious pyromaniac... Horrifying! You took Disco Inferno as a life goal, huh?"
Though he tends to be clueless about pain and can heal from most things, Alder does Not like being burned and would thusly keep a distance from Whydah. He would not be above cracking jokes about their name if they introduced themself to him (he may only be a human but he's too fae-affiliated for that to be a smart move), so if Whydah can put up with that they'll probably get along fine. From a distance.
Cookiesaber - "If you want to get out of that circus but don't mind the peanuts and tents, we've always got room for a new beast."
Honestly, Alder doesn't expect Graves to want to join his circus, he's just being cruel and taunting the poor guy with a whisper of possible freedom. In reality, he finds Graves situation to be downright laughable. He also doesn't fully understand what furrybait is but he's trying his best to take notes (they don't create the people in their acts and he doesn't know how he'd implement this lesson). Overall, I think Alder would barely notice Graves and Graves would HATE Alder
QueenFish - "You like scary stories? What type of scary??"
It's a 50-50 toss-up if Alder would look at Narp Narp and decide she's cool, or would instantly try to get her traumatized. He SUCKS I'm sorry. Either way, he'd listen to her stories.
