#(hes stoopid

Okay, that was exhausting, kinda fun! But overall exhausting.

She had enough existential crises on the regular without having to give them to other people, but she got a friend out of it, so it's probably fine?

"Oops, looks like one of these guys made it through," she stepped in front of Gummigoo, not really knowing why.

"Wait, Caine, I brought him here," She started, right before Caine snapped his fingers, "I figured it was the least I could do."

"Well Pomni, we can't just have *random* NPCs running around! I might lose track of who's a human and who's an NPC! Then who, who knows what could happen." Caine had a haunted look as he said that, which Pomni elected to ignore for now.

"But couldn't we put a marker on him or something? To show that he's an NPC?" She fiddled with her hands, looking up at the ringmaster hopefully, "like a name tag or a sticker?"

The ringmaster hummed, putting a hand to where his chin would be as he thought it over, "great idea Pomni! I can't believe I haven't thought of it sooner!" He then snapped his fingers and a sticker appeared on Gummigoo's hat, it said NPC and had a picture of the ringmaster winking, "now of course you must take care of all of his needs, which isn't many, or, anything really."

The ringmaster shrugged, "huh, I should go drink water! Been a while since I've done that,"

Then he poofed, how he could drink water? Pomni had no clue, but that didn't really matter right now.

She turned back to Gummigoo with a smile, small, but happy, "well, you can stay!"

He tipped his hat to her with a soft chuckle, "that I can, I think I'll learn to like it here," he bumped his shoulder gently into hers, "after all I can't leave my friend by her lonesome can I?"
