Summary
A chain of unexpected events strands Pomni and Gummigoo. With no sign of immediate rescue, the two new friends set out to find the circus themselves, briefly stopping in Gummigoo’s supposedly non-existent village. The stay ends up longer than anticipated.
It's just one part of a world crammed full of bank heists, saloon brawls, marshmallow six-shooters and dodgy mine hideouts, toffee trains, candied ocean liners and the occasional vicious gumdropbear, all dripping with literal sugarcoating that keeps the family-unfriendly implications around a PG rating. Most of the time.
Pomni is tempted by the freedom to redefine herself and escape Caine’s presumed railroaded adventures. For Gummigoo, the map is painfully familiar yet absolutely alien, raising questions that he and Pomni might not be able to really answer. As time passes, the friends find the map, themselves, and their relationship changing for better and possibly worse.
Unable to summon Pomni back, Caine insists to the rest of the Circus that long-term entrapment in an adventure won’t cause lasting harm to either program or its participants. It’s soon apparent that even the A.I. ringmaster cannot anticipate the consequences hurtling towards them.

Summary
Accepting the chance to join Pomni and her crew at the Circus, Gummigoo couldn’t have anticipated the fallout her invitation would cause. Now without his one connection, the ex-bandit is trapped in a new digital hellscape, surrounded by complete strangers and guilt over the fate of his mates – and of Pomni’s fate, wondering if taking her offer was worth that cost. After all, he’s an NPC, not even remotely like the humans that he feels isolated from, never mind there’s always the chance that Caine will snap him away too.
But there’s almost no time to grieve or ponder these concerns – there’s adventure to be had, and Caine’s whipped a spooktacular adventure (with tailoring to what Zooble likes)! Gummigoo doesn’t get a choice to sit out, and finds himself in a house of horrors, complete with loosely related thematic parallels.
And yet, he might be able to connect with one person in the Circus. Perhaps, things might start becoming a bit brighter.

Summary
For all of the jaw-dropping spectacle that the Circus promised, working the register at Spudsy’s for a day was not what Gummigoo had in mind.
With Pomni a pile of confetti on the Tent's floor, he’s uncertain over his place in the Circus in regards to the other members and how they perceive him. In Gummigoo's head, it runs from forced acceptance, at worst it’s seething resentment. The threat of Caine’s employee evaluation hangs over him too, and perhaps fate will snap him away no matter what he does.
Between Gangle breathing down his neck for the slightest infraction, Ragatha’s intoxication, alleged nonslip shoes, terrible customers, and a spiteful ice cream machine, this open to close shift is going to suck hard for the ex-bandit. But he’ll try to persevere, to prove to himself and the others that Pomni’s unintentional sacrifice for the gummi gator was worth something.
He can do this!
And then the door opens, and it delivers a punch to his heart.
