    Summary

    “Pomni?”

    Jax's voice is low again, face turning entirely her way, and she only then notices how close he is to feel his breath against her skin. Hands still far apart.

    “You mentioned not liking being forgotten,” he recalls, eyes drifting down to his hands. 

    She nods. “It hurts.”

    “What if that person… the one who forgot you, wanted to forget?”

    To be forgotten and afraid is Pomni's greatest fear. Post the events of their ringmaster's death, she seeks out someone who might understand.

    Summary

    “Hey Jax..” Pomni starts to call out quietly but upon seeing the back of his shoulders tense further she pauses.

    Are you okay? She wants to ask.

    But her gut tells her that that might not be the best approach with Jax yet. The memory of him hunched over the buttons console in despair, raw and full of hurt comes unbidden.

    “...What is this place?” She asks instead, relieved to see that his shoulders slightly sagged down as if in relief.

    Jax cracked one eye open and glanced lazily toward the far wall.

    “No idea,” he said. “Just another one of those rooms.”

    or

    After the events of episode 7, Jax grows more withdrawn. When Pomni accidentally discovers the room where he’s been hiding, the two form an unexpected bond—and a new kind of trouble that extends far beyond just themselves.

    Summary

    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?
