ADVENTURES, ENDLESS IDEAS TO WORK ON BUT NOT ENOUGH TIME and not enough willing participants, even when he did his best efforts to please them! If only they all could spell it out for him to comprehend his wrongdoings and learn from them, to improve. Alas, not once had that ever happened or, if it ever did, the feedback came from old members that were no longer with them and, instead, in the cellar. It was heartbreaking to think about them, the few kind-spirited who would offer polite constructive criticism enough to not wound his ego learn how to be better at the one thing he should know best.
This time—! It was a brilliant idea like no other, he could recycle put to good use some trustworthy NPCs into this new adventure: a WESTERN THEMED ONE. It was perfect! He already had two damsels in distress for the job that would make perfect bait for the most unwilling members to join: as long as he had Ragatha wrapped up with Gangle by the railroad with an incoming train, surely, the least interested participants such as Zooble and Jax would have no choice but to join—! Still, Caine tapped the side of his metaphorical head, wooden cane lightly tapping his molar as he closed his teeth ( and eyes ), pondering just what he should do with Pomni and Kinger... Perhaps, they could pretend to be the villains? Or simply carriage riders for the persecution segment?
Nonetheless, he loosened his jaw as mismatched eyes blinked once, twice and then, fingers were clicked which caused every member to be summoned before him. A brief explanation, but there was a gasp and a quiet silence upon opening a seemingly endless hole underneath Ragatha and Gangle that, after swallowing them in the blink of an eye, were gone to only Caine knew were. Then, the rest had to walk through the portal, only to be surprised ( unimpressed ) by the matching cowboy costumes that the ringmaster tried so hard to design on the spot! But something unexpected had happened, one of those minor possibilities that Caine didn't anticipate because, well, they were extremely beyond rare, minuscule even..!
A new member ( @txphatt-cxntrxller ) joined the circus! And the train they were riding was out of control, off its rails entirely! What a shocking turn of events!
Caine could intervene, for sure, as any caring ringmaster would for their crew members — but what is an adventure without a thrill? So, he watched with newfound interest as the situation unfolded. What would the new member do?
