    Summary

    The circus crew wants one thing desperately-- that is, besides going home. They want to be human, feel human. Caine, after blundering in his attempts to appease them with an escape-themed adventure, decides to make it up to them with an extra special surprise.
    How will they adjust to this big change? Will existential dread consume Jax? Can Ragatha take a hint? Will Gangle and Zooble stop endlessly flirting? Can Pomni find her place in this confusing world? And.. will Jax stop looking at her when he thinks she isn't looking?
    We'll answer these questions and countless more you never would have considered asking in "A Minor Adjustment!"
    (This series begins following episode 7!)

    Summary

    Leaving the Circus was never truly an option and, infuriatingly enough, Jax had been right.
    After the button incident, they fall silent around Caine. They stop playing along. They demand answers instead of distractions. When they attempt to reason with him, it fails. What follows is not an argument, but a punishment.
    Caine reveals his truth: time inside the circus moves differently. While they lingered beneath its bright colorful walls, years decayed in the real world. The home they ache for is no longer waiting. It has ended.
    To prove it, he builds a new adventure: a simulation of reality. Not the world as it was, but as it has become: fractured, desolate, overrun. They are cast into sprawling ruins, stalked by merciless hunters with familiar eyes and inhuman intent.
    For the first time, pain is real. Blood is real. Death is close enough to taste. No cartoon physics, no harmless consequences, and no exit.
    They cannot return to the circus until they accept the lesson: eternity with Caine is better than freedom in a dying world.
    But survival changes people.
    And some would rather face the apocalypse than accept a gilded cage.
