Everyone except for Caine and Kinger are siting in the “living room” of the circus. All bored out of their minds. “I know I’m not normally the one to say this but, where is Caine?” Zooble questions curiously. “I was thinking the same thing. It’s not like Caine to be absent for this long.” Gangle replies to Zooble. “What about Kinger?” Ragatha says worried. “He’s right here, right Kinger?- Oh Sh*t your right.” Pomni looks around, just as confused as everyone else.
Meanwhile Caine and Kinger-
Caine sits sprawled out on his chair, glitching and panting. “Caine? Do you want another ice pack for your head?” Kinger asks, worried sick about Caine. “Oh Kinger! D-don’t be silll-lll-l|\l/LY! Agh! I don’t want to be a burden to you.. you’ve been t-tak!iii-ing care of meee-e-e all day!” Caine manages to say, despite all the glitching. “Actually please do.. ignore w-wh@atttt I jj-j-jUsT said..” “Thank you for being honest Caine. You know you can’t handle everything yourself.. you shouldn’t be embarrassed for needing support and help.” “Y-yesssss! B-buUt it makes me seem w-e@ak!… I’m the r-rrriii!ng master of the circus, I need to b€ seen a-a@s str0ng and P0werfU//!..” Caine says, glitching even more than before. “Hey, hey, hey, no. That is not true at ALL, and you know it. You ARE very strong and powerful. I mean, you literally made this whole place by yourself. Don’t even get me started on being powerful. You have the ability to teleport and to spawn things with just the snap of your fingers. That is so impressive and shocking. Now here, let me take care of you..” Kinger grabs a new ice pack and places it ontop of Caines head, also bringing him an ice cold drink. “Thank you so much Kinger.. t-Th!is mmm-me@ns a lot to meeE! Ah! Mph..” Tears start forming in Caines eyes, from the pain of the glitching and over-heating. “It h-hurt+s Ki!nger…” “I know Caine.. I’m gonna go tell the others that there will be no adventure today. Would you want me to Reset your systems before I go do that? It might be scary but you are safe, trust me.” “O-oka@y…” Kinger then walks behind Caine, pressing a button on Caines back. His eyes start glitching going blue as he falls unconscious, tongue sticking out. Kinger than makes his way to the group.
“KINGER!! THERE YOU ARE! We were getting worried about you. Where were you, and where’s Caine?” Pomni asks. “Oh! Hi Pomni! About Caine. He isn’t feeling too well… He has a virus and, I was just taking care of him. So there will be no adventure today..” “Oh no! I-is he okay?!” Ragatha says worried. “Yeah.. He should be fine in about a day or two.. I’m just letting him rest right now.” “Is there anything we can possibly do for him? I feel bad just sitting here doing nothing all day..” Gangle says. “I mean, we can make some get well cards? I just want to do something instead of being lazy.” Zooble suggests. “GREAT IDEA ZOOBLE! I can go get paper and supplies!” Kinger announces. “A-and I can also help grab stuff too!” Gangle adds.
An hour or two passes, when Caine finally wakes up.
“H-huh?.. Guys?..” Caine looks up to see the group standing infront of him, holding cards and gifts. Kinger standing behind him from turning him back on. “How are you feeling Caine? Hopefully that rest helped you Atleast a little..” Kinger says. “I mean, I’m definitely feeling better than before, but you guys… You guys really did all of this for me?..” Caines eyes start to form tears again, this time for excitement and love. “Yeah.. it was actually Zooble’s idea surprisingly!..” Gangle says while moving aside a bit, letting Zooble walk closer. “Even though I’m not very, ‘fond’ of you, I still care about you, along with everyone else in the circus..” The room is silent, The group standing awkwardly while staring at Caine, waiting for a response. Instead, Caine is frozen. His eyes dilated to the max with tears rolling down his face.(or should I say gums?) “u-uhm Caine?- AGH! WHAT THE F*CK?!” Zooble and the others scream after Caine starts throwing up everywhere. (I mean he’s still sick what do you expect) “I-i think you need more rest Caine!” Kinger panics, rushing everyone out of the room. After, he starts cleaning up and puts Caine to sleep again. Letting him get fully well rested and healed.
damn this turned out really short, sorry gang 😓
