smile

You smile until it hurts. You're making your friends nervous. Your face also feels really uncomfortable.

Maybe you want to give something else a try.

Learn to juggle.

Or study reflexively eviscerating anyone that scares you

You contemplate taking up juggling or violence, skills that might serve you well against the terrifying whatever-it-is you'll be facing today, but you find yourself unable to choose between the two.

Also, you're really lazy and it's a lot easier to just keep smiling, you're actually starting to get a kick out of how nervous you're making passerby.

You're now that guy who's supposed to be scaring kids, or at least who doesn't have any idea what else he should be doing. You think you found the kids, but one of them has this really unnatural smile that's making you incredibly nervous. How are you supposed to be scary when you're freaked out yourself?

But you've got this plotline to fulfill and no idea what else you could possibly do with yourself, so you're going to do it. How are you going to scare this kid with the freaky smile who looks like he's thinking about reflexively eviscerating you and then juggling with your internal organs?
