???: But If I Have A New Name Mama Won't Find Me...

Caine:

*swoops in*

OOOOOH ZOOOOOBLE, I THINK I FOUND YOUR TYPE OF ADVENTURE!

oh god. what is it

the rich aren’t people

Eat the rich and eat the poor, we call that cannibalism

Oh! Here's a grand idea! Let's not eat.. people.

Buddy: So.... my parents just left me at this daycare?

..........i...........buddy. do you......remember putting on a vr headset?

Caine: *laughs*

Boy have i outdone myself!

*pops away*

(They sigh.)

Buddy: *asleep on Zooble's lap, having finally calmed down after such a stressful first week*

(They’re being as reassuring as possible.)

Caine: *calmly pops in*

Heyyy uhhh buddy, welcome to the ama- i mean daycare?

*looks at Zooble for approval*

(They nod, still holding onto them.)

M!A: *makes them reattach and shoot up*

Oh yeah I forgot, I see why Jax calls ya pick-apart.

uuuggghhhhhh....

???: Are you the teacher?

*thinks they are in daycare*

(They laugh a little bit. They’ve never been super good with kids.)

no, i’m not.

(Then, an idea comes to their mind. When they were talking about their past lives, Ragatha mentioned being a kindergarten teacher. Or maybe just studying early childhood education. Something like that. Maybe . . . maybe if they convince this kid this is just some sort of weird-looking daycare, that they’ll be able to go home eventually, then they’ll be fine.)

i can take you to go see the teacher, though.

love whatever this genre of nightmare images is

Caine: Ugh everyone’s a critic

*closes mouth*

-buddy anon

yeah, well, can you help them or not?
