    “WHAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER?”

    “I mean... Zooble had so many to pick from!! I talk about my jobs constantly.” Jax started a counter with his fingers. “One-man opera production, president of Paraguay, owner of a meth lab operation. Don’t tell me you forgot about my meth lab operation?”

    “Oh he’s lying. Caine, he’s JUST lying! This is not fair!”

    “YOU’RE RIGHT! THAT ISN’T FAIR!” Caine chorused.

    Caine snapped his fingers.

    Jax stiffened.

    Jax fell silent. The smile dripped off his face. He looked at his hands. He looked at Caine.

    “What did you do?” Jax asked.

    “I MADE IT SO YOU CAN’T LIE!”

    ----------------------
    Caine has pulled the Circus into a Get-to-Know-You Trivia Adventure! It’s a good opportunity to learn about each other for those willing to play along. It’s an even better opportunity to lie for those who aren't willing to reveal anything. …Until Jax is not allowed to lie anymore.

    The Circus members have the opportunity to pull answers from Jax he would never willingly admit to under torture.

    Summary

    Caine's the eternal ever-present Overlord of the Circus, a reliable constant, incapable of Abstracting or leaving...

    He was never supposed to die!!

    And Jax... he can't handle that. Can't bring himself to accept that this one surety he's had in his life could be deleted that easily! By accident!!

    He sure had no idea his will to reverse it was strong enough to turn back time...

    Summary

    Pomni was hard to discern past her humility, where she seemed to set into the task like a cog shifted in her brain. Maybe she'd hate this as much as he would. Maybe she was thrilled to figure out all his secrets, so she could use them to poison the throne.

    Maybe the glint of her eyes was excitement, and not malice.

    At the age of nineteen, Jax was taken under the wing of the new queen and king. He was offered fine robes, luxurious courtyards, and freedom he hadn't felt since he was a boy, wandering the woods with his mentor. It wasn't enough for him, even after a year spent in their clutches.

    One of the issues he found was regarding the palace knight, Lady Pomni. He thought of her as ungrateful, a simple mistake on behalf of the people who let her ascend the ranks. Jax may have started to think otherwise, when they were assigned on a month's long journey together.

    Summary

    (Post Episode 8)

    The world has become destabilized, leaving the players in an empty, disjointed purgatory. The circus is breaking down, becoming increasingly corrupted without the AI to manage it. If something doesn't get done, it's all over, but no one knows what to do.

    Pomni thinks she can feel Caine out there somewhere—alone, confused, distressed. Kinger says it may be possible to save him, to save them all—but to do so, one must enter the code, and somehow, against all odds, make their way back out. Pomni will have to go alone, and see a side of Caine that he never wanted anyone to see. But can she get through to him, and does he even want to be found?

    (NOTE: This is the NSFW / explicit version! There is a SFW / clean version with "[C]" in the title! Make sure you're reading the version that's right for you!)
