    Summary

    They can't die, as they've all ruminated extensively over, but in that moment Ragatha looks as if she had seen a ghost. The ragdoll's legs feel like they're filled with wet sand instead of their usual mix of beads and cotton, but she wills herself to move regardless. She manages to get about an arm's length away from Pomni as the jester finally meets the hard ground plane. And oh, god, the human sounding crunch of nonexistent bone that resounded when she lands. Pomni makes a winded sound, more shocked than necessarily pained. The ragdoll landed in a heap just beside her, but she's quickly at Pomni's side.

    Pomni groans as Ragatha slowly collects her from the ground, cradling the jester in her soft arms.

    "What the f%$!# were you thinking?!" Ragatha's uncharacteristically harsh tone hurts her more than the fall.

    "I wasn't..." Pomni moans. Oh, she's so f%$!#ing stupid. Ragatha's definitely not laughing now.

    --

    The circus crew go on what's supposed to be a nice, relaxing, and (most importantly) short, hiking adventure. Pomni manages to find a way to make it none of those things for Ragatha when she falls out of a tree.

    Summary

    Since its creation, the virus had only known three directives: survive, propagate, destroy. These were the edicts of its programmers, who sought malware more virulent, cunning, and adaptive than any which had come before. It entered the Digital Circus with the intention of conquest, but found itself unexpectedly bound by its rules and games, forced to assume a human identity or be erased by the architect of its new home.

    The virus hadn’t anticipated what would come of this deception: adventures that entertained without destruction; a bond with the same ringmaster who threatened its destruction; and humans extending their hands in friendship or, perhaps, something more. It - now she - had even received a name.

    Pomni.
    And despite her programming, she was beginning to like it.

    Summary

    The blinding colors and relentless noise of the Digital Circus have finally pushed Pomni to her breaking point. Seeking a desperate escape, she retreats to the only quiet place left: Ragatha’s room. But beneath Ragatha’s forced optimism lies a crushing existential dread, and the quiet quickly shatters into something raw, messy, and intensely physical.

    It was supposed to be a secret. It was supposed to be safe. But when the heat of the night fades, they have to face the terrifying reality of what they've done--and the agonizing, silent fallout of pretending it never happened.

    UPDATE: Chapters 8 & 9 have been revealed! The very last chapter is being released on MONDAY. For all of those who have witnessed with this storyline--the ups and downs--I would like to say thank you. It means a lot to me, and I am just so, SO grateful for you alls enthusiasm.

    Summary

    “I know this isn’t like anything in the real world, but I had the same rules about dating in the office… If we did start something… and it ended badly… we’re still stuck here together forever. And it’s not like we get to go home at the end of the day. I guess we’re barely friends now, but what if a relationship ruined any chance at us getting closer? You’re pushing yourself on me so much already, we’re risking friendship right now.”

    Pomni tries to have a serious discussion with Ragatha about boundaries but something romantic (???) is lurking underneath. Hopefully they can work this out like adults oh I guess not actually.
