Image one: Scenes of Pomni interacting with each circus member. In the center, Caine's head narrates, "Today's Adventure: QUALITY TIME with Pomni!"

Image two: Pomni vents about the circus as Zooble listens with a knowing shrug.

Image three: Jax crouches next to Pomni, who leans into his space as they study something offscreen.

Image four: Kinger and Pomni kneel together and share a hearty laugh.

Image five: Lounging on the floor, Pomni watches Gangle draw in her sketchbook.

Image six: Ragatha and Pomni idly chat, relaxed in each other's presence.

Image seven: A floating Caine announces, "Today's Adventure: QUALITY TIME with Pomni!" Pomni looks up at the text with a small, "What?"

So happy I finished this thing before ep 8 oof

Anyway, the comic was born out of

my thoughts about Caine's model lacking many essential facial features (as if he was never intended to show any emotions) and yet him being literally the most expressive character in the circus despite everything.

me being low-key obsessed with the implications episode 7 left us with. Players questioning everything they've been told and Caine being in the center of it all.

I want them all to be healed and happy, little guy absolutely included, but man the situation is rough, and the odds are against us

In addition to the Open World system, other updates take place to make the circus more hospitable:

The ability to change clothes at will as well as undress with certain exceptions (Pomni's hat is load-bearing). They are also able to alter their forms to a small extent (More "human" proportions, adding a fifth finger- small stuff).

Weather cycles and seasons for the grounds.

The cast has some ability to change environments on a permanent basis without it resetting. Some use this for things like farming, building- think simple sandbox games.

Holidays! Some classic ones, some entirely made up.

No more censorship.

Zooble get their wish.

Over time the circus turns into something like a small city, with the tent serving as a town square. It is populated with little shops, restaurants, and minigames/sidequests for those interested. Every day NPCs show up randomly in the town square (similar to Animal Crossing: City Folk)

NPCs no longer have their memory wiped and can be visited in their home worlds, however they cannot enter other worlds without special permission.

Abstraction still cannot be reversed and remains a possibility. Kinger and Caine are working on some way to relieve the suffering of the people in the cellar.
