Something makes me think that no one really thought of bringing the topic to Caine, like everyone who joined since Kinger simply heard 'there is no exit and you have to do a lil side quest all day everyday kthxbye' and went along with it up until Zooble who may not have vibed with that since arriving but Caine let them off the hook because they were the first case scenario of that kind. Then Pomni arrives and you have her going in with the flow not even three days in (traumatized and anxious, but participating anyway), so now Zooble becomes this outlier that he must understand (cue all that therapy session and how we are at the point we are currently) and it all blows in his face that everything he has done so far has been hated "in secret" ( which it's funny because their talk implies that it's been hated loud but he never bothered to hear their concerns until that talk with Zooble)

>I wonder how he would go with the idea of him joining on an adventure and having someone else DM for a bit so he can get a fresh perspective
He kind of did that during the lightning round, mostly the softball segment where he served as announcer, but he got bored out of his mind in all of them. Which makes me think that he has more ego issues when someone else's work is better than his own, he just can't see the appeal to it because it's not something HE made even if technically he provided the assets and everything for it to play out. He wants to be the big apple but everything is piling up against him

Caine is not beating the Cain&Abel allegations now that I think of it kek

Now, if they had decided to integrate him in their suggestions and had him play a role, he would still complain about the plot beats and how he would do better than the other players if they followed his advice or something. Also rig the game so it ends early and they can go play a better game (made by him, of course)

>its not a daily occurrence but from time to time you can hear it
>A heaving sob, as broken and heartbreaking and human as one can find within the circus. No different from the ones heard following an abstraction's funeral
>No one really knows where it comes from or why it happens, it's just some additional terrifying feature of this hellscape
>Some rumor says it's echoed or phantom data from previous players before abstracting
>Jax claims it's nothing but the whole place breaking apart as usual
>Kinger and Ragatha mention how the sound wasn't always there but it's been growing more constant for some reason
>Zooble finds it annoying but doesn't say much, it's really easy to ignore once getting used to it but still annoying, it seems to come up more frequently after having their own daily arguing with Caine
>Either way it's just another part of the mystery of the circus
>Meanwhile inside one of the spare random rooms more difficult to access lays Caine.

I have the feeling someone is gonna try to shoot Caine but idk who would be worse for it if that happens

>everyone gets a loaded gun for the game
>Everyone just lines up like pic related and aims at him

He has always been a tool what can I say

Wonder how much of a hell it was for her to adapt at first. Kinger mentions she was as freaked out as Pomni when first arriving -if not more- and not only that, but having three fingers in each hand be fused together must have been a whole mess to work with considering she has a piano in her room and likes to sew iirc -both being hobbies that require a good hand-eye coordination-, also I think goose said she has very limited visibility from her button eye which sucks too.

I understand why Zooble is the one with the dysmorphia brainworms but still, Ragatha must have gone thru so much to not abstract, being the second oldest there at that
No wonder she keeps her feelings shut deep down
