M!A: *continues Laughing*

Caine: Ohhhh that hacker?

YEAH

???: 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.

Caine: Oh ok, what would you like?

not....this?

Caine: *slows it down*

Oh boy Zooble, glad you finally wanna go to the carnival!

CAINE IT’S THE (🎉)ING MAGIC ANON AGAIN. THE ONE THAT CHANGES THINGS

Caine: Hmmmm, my anti-virus software doesn't detect anything so I'm gonna go drink water AGAIN!

*flies off*

...you’re (🎉)in’ useless, caine.

*random npcs from various adventures glitch in and out trying to strike

conversations with Zooble*

(Some of them seem to merge together in horrific amalgamations. For some, flat yet realistic placeholder textures are used, making them look almost like they’re made from paper cutouts.)

Buddy: a what? do you mean the box glassss thing....

y...yeah. so, um, this place isn’t...in the real world.

Gangle: No, I was referring to my days in school, we all had to do band class right?

yeah, but i meant like. has this happened in the circus. where somebody just...loses control of their body and caine has like nothing to do with it?

Jax: *punches Buddy thinking they're an NPC, causing them to fall face first into the floor*

Don't get too attached Zooby, remember Pomni and the weird alligator?

*laughs as he walks off with a pep in his step*

JAX WHAT THE (🎉) IS WRONG WITH YOU THIS IS A REAL KID

Kinger: Oooh Caine gave you an adventure you like?

no. i am not liking this, and caine has nothing to do with this.
