    Summary

    Pomni isn't an adventurer-- she's just a regular bard, who travels from town to town, singing songs to keep everyone happy and hopeful during these dangerous times. But her travel companion Caine has an important Quest she needs to deliver to a notoriously chaotic adventuring group the general public likes to call the Traveling Circus. Despite what her best friend Gummigoo thinks, Pomni embarks on her very first adventure with the strangest rag-tag group of people she's ever gotten to know, to eradicate the Abstraction Virus that's been terrorizing the world for centuries now. Will she be able to find some new material to write more songs with? Or will she lose her mind learning to cope with the craziest adventurers she's ever met?

    Summary

    Life if the circus is not very interesting for the imprisoned cast members. Even though this is the case, Jax is not a sad lump about it--no, he's a moody prankster that entertains himself with mischief and other less than savory methods of distraction. One day, circus life changes for him and everyone else when the new girl shows up, and he finds that she is exceedingly more interesting than he would have guessed. He unexpectedly starts to indulge in her presence because it doesn't make him want to barf or break something, and she seems to be receptive enough to the formation of a friendship. None of the others thought him actually capable of being a decent, friendly person, accepting the innocent and ignorant Pomni. Fortunately for them, the little jester is actually much more aware and perceptive than they assume her to be, and she becomes the catalyst for changing the standard of living for all in the circus. Well, he figured out she's not as innocent and ignorant as he'd thought.

    Summary

    He was no stranger to severing ties before they would cut too deeply. It was how he had always operated here; if you don’t let anyone hook into you, you couldn’t be torn.

    Did this really sting that deeply for him to reconsider?

    ---

    Jax isn't used to making or keeping friends. Or thinking of anyone else. Or caring about their opinion. Or thinking of himself as worthy of love.

    Or possibly receiving it in return.

    Summary

    “I forgot what my own laugh sounds like,” he says, quietly. “I think it used to be different. Less… rehearsed.”

    Pomni frowns, “I used to hate the sound of mine. Now I don’t even remember it.”

    - or in which Pomni and Jax discover a room where Caine can’t watch them. But something else is.
