Chapter Text
Caine is busy thinking up the next 'AMAZING, LESS SCARY AND MATURE!' adventure for tomorrow.
"Why can't I think of anything? I'm supposed to be original..."
In a moment of desperation, (Definetly not the first), Caine decides to look in the suggestion box for potential ideas.
'One where we all floss our teeth with Gangle's scrawny ribbons. -Jax'
"This won't do."
'Water park!! :) - Ragatha.'
"Uh..."
He throws his hands in the air, before crossing his arms and pouting like a toddler.
"Gosh, critical and creative thinking skills. You'd think they'd have 'em."
'One where everybody has to kiss Pomni.' - Anonymous
"When did I say anonymous was an option...?" He'd mutter.
"Regardless! Maybe this'll be interesting. After all, the people of the MACROVERSE love these kinds of things!"

"Today's adventure is going to be another short one. Or, perhaps rushed." "In a moment desperation, I had no choice but to break out the suggestion box. After a bit of consideration, because most of them weren't interesting. I've decided on an adventure, where everyone is required to kiss Pomni! Be ready in 20 minutes or..."
Pomni shifted uncomfortably.
"Tough crowd. Be prepared!" He floated away promptly.
"Who the hell suggested this." Jax scoffed out angrily.
"...WHY?" Pomni said, in a sudden panic.
"You know, this isn't the worst thing..." Gangle said hoarsely.
"Yeah, for some of us! Some of us don't have an interest in KISSING GIRLS!" Jax grunts, shoving Gangle and causing her comedy mask to break.
"Which is just reffering to you..." Gangle adds, dusting herself off. She gets another grunt in response.
"I don't even have a mouth, how does this work?" Zooble points out.
"This is quite a bit different than our normal adventures.." Ragatha states, trying to clear the tension.
Kinger sat there quietly, too absorbed in whatever otherwordly thought he was having.
"Okay!" Caine joyously prances back over.
"20 minutes are up."
"Caine, it's been...very few minutes."
"I mean, I thought it would take me longer to come up with the order in which you will be going in."
"OHH, AND YOU BETTER BE TELLING US WHO SUGGESTED THIS BULL($#*7!)" Jax exclaimed, before he was abruptly cut off by Caine.
"It was anonymous. Which, by the way, is now banned from putting on suggestions."
"Now, now, the order."
Caine holds out a piece of paper that reads,
Kinger, Gangle, Zooble, Ragatha, Jax.
"I'm not first!" Ragatha exclaims, a bit too much volume in her voice.
"Sorry, sorry. I just didn't want to be first."
Kinger suddenly piped up.
"Ah-Why is my name on that piece of paper? What are we doing?"
His response consisted of blank stares for a few seconds.
"Everyone has to kiss Pomni!" Caine responds enthusiastically.
"B...But-" Kinger says, being cut off.
"It doesn't have to be on the lips, anywhere is acceptable."
Kinger unstiffens hearing that, as much a chess piece can unstiffen anyway.
"Thank god." Jax says, rather dramatically "That bumps it up to 0.5."
"..0.5?" Kinger questions.
"My tolerance scale." Jax crosses his arms.
"Okay. Jax, it's not that bad." Zooble protests.
"Yeah, jeez... Calm down." Ragatha lets slip.
"That bad? Calm down? I am not, and never will be in the state, to the point of merely THINKING ABOUT kissing any of you disgusting freaks."
"Our point remains, could be way worse. I mean, would you rather a cornfield adventure?"
Ragatha says, clearly unamused.
He shuddered. “Somehow kissing any of you is still worse than that..."
He lied through his teeth there.
"Okay. Pomni, Kinger." He clicked his fingers, a portal appearing on cue,
"Chop chop!" He says, his voice singy-songy.
