    In his place, a humble Top Hat and a Jester far too curious for her own good.

    A system that seems to want to tear her apart from the inside.

    Summary

    Since its creation, the virus had only known three directives: survive, propagate, destroy. These were the edicts of its programmers, who sought malware more virulent, cunning, and adaptive than any which had come before. It entered the Digital Circus with the intention of conquest, but found itself unexpectedly bound by its rules and games, forced to assume a human identity or be erased by the architect of its new home.

    The virus hadn’t anticipated what would come of this deception: adventures that entertained without destruction; a bond with the same ringmaster who threatened its destruction; and humans extending their hands in friendship or, perhaps, something more. It - now she - had even received a name.

    Pomni.
    And despite her programming, she was beginning to like it.

    Summary

    Pomni had high hopes that just one of these red doors would lead her back to the real world, away from the madness that was the Digital Circus. Each door she opened filled her with more and more dread, fearing that she really was doomed to stay trapped with the others.

    Until one door finally leads her out of the decrepit and dusty offices.

    And lands her right inside a spacious chamber with a single heavy bulkhead door.

    The only other thing she noticed besides the very sudden difference in her environment is the camera mounted in the corner of the room. She doesn't get much time to wonder where she is before an alarm sounds.

    "All employees, prepare for energy collection."

    Summary

    “Hiding something? What, no! I wouldn’t – I’d never – ”

    “You know what? ƒμ©* it.” With a huff, Zooble yanked at the tablet in Ragatha’s hands, hard. Pomni caught how the little seams fixing Ragatha’s arms to her shoulders flexed, threatening to give way. She had to let go before Zooble ripped her forearms clean off. Zooble swiped through the tablet almost angrily as they muttered, “I don’t even know what you’re so pressed about. It’s not like your derby rider was that pretentious about – ”

    Zooble cut themself off and went very, very silent.

    Pomni’s mouth went dry. Dryer than it’d been even after a stress of time without real water. She watched, scared for a reason she couldn’t place, as both of Zooble’s detachable eyes widened. She could have sworn that their hot pink face turned almost salmon for a quick second before returning to its original shade. They set down the tablet and turned.

    “Ragatha,” they said slowly, “why does the catalogue of NPCs include a mock-up of Jax?”


    or, the gang learns something new about Jax
