    Summary

    It's just a bugle, right? It's so silly to see Ragatha get worked up over something so mundane. Pomni can't help but poke a bit of fun at her while she still has the chance.

    So begins a clash that rivals all the ones they'd had on their DnD adventure. Pomni quickly finds out that there's a bit more to it than she thought.

    Summary

    Zooble was the first of the main 6 to abstract. It's not the first time one of their friends abstracted (except for Pomni) but it never gets easier to deal with. At this point most of them have found their own (unhealthy) ways to cope with loss. Will they be able to support each other to the end? Whenever that may be?

    Summary

    It’s been a few days since The Favorite Character Awards.

    Pomni has been through a number of bizarre things during her time in the circus. Candy truck chases, angel head horrors, minimum wage labor, athletic events, gun-filled battle royales. But none of these come close to what she witnesses on a seemingly innocent day full of beach-filled fun: Caine attempting to take his own life.

    After managing to stop him, Pomni takes it upon herself (and is borderline forced to by Bubble) to help keep Caine’s mental state intact by engaging in improvised therapy sessions with him. After all, if Caine died, what would happen to the circus? And to the humans that lived within it? This was her only concern at first. But as Caine opens up to her more through these sessions, she realizes just how much the AI is hurting and how long he has been harboring these negative emotions.

    Turns out Caine needs more help than she thought.

    He's just as trapped in this game as they are. And worse.

    Summary

    Pomni knows something is up when she awakens in the middle of the night with throbbing pain in her stomach and proceeds to spill her guts over the side of the bed. She had thrown up multiple times before in the Circus, but it was always either due to motion sickness or extreme distress. Illness didn’t exist here, as far as she knew, and for that the random onset of nausea was baffling.

    (Or: Pomni has no idea what's coming her way when she suddenly falls ill.)
