    Summary

    She pops the clasp on her bra and slips it down her shoulders. She glances towards her bandmates. “Rumi, what do you-

    -Only to see Rumi, stumbled back and patterns lit up like a magenta Christmas tree. Shoulders hunched like she has hackles raised. A dumbstruck look on her scarlet red face. The ends of her towel slipping from her fingers.

    “Oh.”

    Rumi swallows thickly. Her patterns pulse so bright that Zoey winces and covers her eyes.

    Hot, Mira thinks. “Oh shit!” She yells.

     

    4 times Mira won an argument, and one time she lost (But did she really?)

    Or, the art of flashing your bandmates in order to get what you want.

    All Din wanted to do was find the Child a sorcerer teacher, pick up a job or two, and follow his Creed.

    Three out of three is good, right? Right?

    Summary

    Right before brushing her teeth, Zoey remembers the tonic pouch still sitting in her fanny pack. She toys with it, unsure, before finally making up her mind.

    Tomorrow would be their last day of rehearsal before the Idol Awards, the most intense. She could use the boost.

    She uncaps it, down the (surprisingly sweet) content in three big gulps, and dumps the empty pouch in her bathroom trashcan.

    Ready for tomorrow!

    As always, she spares a few minutes to doomscroll before finally wrapping herself in the blanket for the night.

    A cosy warmth envelops her body and she fall asleep, surprisingly serene.

    ___

    Mira is trying hard not to panic, so she doesn't notice what has Rumi turning to the bunched covers of Zoey's bed.

    Rumi pulls the blanket off and… inexplicably, the world feels both stranger and right again.

    A weird relief washes upon her, but the confusion remains, cristalized in one very simple question. "Why is there a turtle in Zoey's bed?"

     
    ___ Or. ___

    What if Zoey turned into a turtle two days before the Idol Awards?

    Summary

    So that’s it, huh.

    Mira does a better job at stifling her tears than Zoey, but she still feels a few warm drops run down her cheeks.

    The hopes and dreams of being an idol at Sunlight Entertainment—hell, of being anything—are gone with a handwave from some guy in a suit and a paper that says “Thanks for auditioning”.

    Before she can storm out as quickly as possible to save what little face she has left, Mira turns on her heel and freezes at the sight of Celine, the CEO of Sunlight Entertainment, watching her. That odd woman with the purple braid and mask floats behind her, eyes gleaming.

    “Mira. Zoey.” Celine steps towards them. “Before you leave, I have an offer I’d like you to consider.”

    Or: When Mira and Zoey, both running from difficult pasts, audition to become idols at Sunlight Entertainment (famous for its mysterious headliner idol Hunter) and fail, all hopes of meeting and training under Hunter go out the window until Celine makes them a different, surprise offer: train under Celine’s unknown ward Rumi instead.

    (“Why us?” Zoey asks.

    “Honestly,” Rumi says, “I think you're both really weird.”

    Oh. Mira might kill her.)

    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.
