That explains his black-and-white motif. Yin and yang, equal balance. (Two face.) (Like really? A weapon too dangerous for our enemies to use might not be dangerous if we use it, for good reasons?)
Also they’re basically acknowledging that once the Corps is gone the Circus will need to self-destruct and take all clown members with it. Not that it matters, I doubt Oats will last much further than this conversation, unless bossman likes controlling the pipeline of info he’s feeding the Corps. Or maybe there’ll be some kind of messed-up “loyalty test”.
I wonder what Ringmaster thinks of mutants outside the clowns. Like does he imagine them living peacefully among humans, free of the obligation of law enforcement? Does he see them as a side effect of clowning’s impact on the world? Maybe genetically altered by all the chemical pies being tossed around? Did his zealot mission begin before or after his own descent into clownhood? Does he even want to get rid of clowns, or just be the biggest baddest name in town without an organized and government-funded opponent? If the latter he must feeling pretty secure in his game to off a backer like Platt.
*cough* Moving on. Would it be smarter for Oats to run out the door, or take a page from McBell’s book and kamikaze out the window, hoping for a plan on the way down?
I legitimately don’t know what Ringmaster believes, and I *really like that*. Top-tier, world-class character writing. This is really good thank you for writing it.
Heh. You’re STICKING to your NEEDLE story. Or sticking… in your needle story…? I should leave the puns to the clowns.
Uh, I’ve never heard that saying.

As far as evil plans go, this one seems pretty thorough.
