[b]with [color=ed1c24]CAINE[/color][/b][/center]

[color=ed1c24][b]"Ah ah ah!"[/b][/color] [color=fdc68a]Caine waggles his finger toward Amber while Bubble rotates sideways in place with a blank stare.[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]"The Circus is a [i]family-friendly[/i] place, so there will be none of that [i]profanity."[/i][/b][/color]

[color=fdc68a]Patch sighs as she watches the scene before her unfold. She had been feeling that the Circus was quite [i]full,[/i] especially as of late. There were [i]ten[/i] of them now, after all. From what she heard from the others, there usually were not this many people. Sure, it helped that Zooble and a couple of others liked to sit out from time to time, but lately it felt like adventures took longer than they really needed to. Patch wished Caine would split up the group or something. Maybe only take a few people at a time and rotate some out? But she couldn't see that happening. Caine was so enamored with them all that it was very unlikely he'd be open to [i]not[/i] considering each of them when he created an adventure. But Patch could tell that today's adventure in particular was going to take some extra time.

An uncertain voice catches Patch's attention and she looks to the side to see Gangle looking up at her. [b]"Amber? I'm sure they'll be fine,"[/b] she says reassuringly. [b]"They'll probably just need a few days. And they might need some help with our adventure. I'm sure Caine won't be letting them off the hook just because it's their first day. And it looks like they might actually be interested."[/b] She looks over toward Amber in thought before speaking again. [b]"Hey, since Caine is here, do you think you might want to ask him about your comedy ma-"[/b][/color]

[color=ed1c24][b]"Oh, they're just fine!"[/b][/color] [color=fdc68a]Caine says loudly, waving Ragatha away.[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]"What Amber needs is a good old-fashioned [i]fun-venture!"[/i][/b][/color]

[color=0072bc][b]"That was lame,"[/b][/color] [color=fdc68a]Bubble says, deadpan. Caine sputters for a few seconds before eventually blurting out,[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]"[i]You're[/i] lame![/b][/color] [color=fdc68a]Now fully derailed and distracted by Bubble's comment, Caine seems eager to to quickly escape the air of his embarrassment.[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]"Good luck with your task!"[/b][/color] [color=fdc68a]he says hurriedly. Then, he snaps his fingers and he and Bubble[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]*pop*[/b][/color] [color=fdc68a]out of sight.

Patch blinks, then looks back down at Gangle. [b]"Darn, sorry Gangle..."[/b][/color]

[center][h3][color=92278f][b]KINGER[/b][/color][/h3][/center]

[color=92278f]Kinger appears in Jax's path as soon as he turns around from his conversation with the fourth wall. He is standing stock still, as if he was merely a figurine of himself. He wears a mildly shocked expression on his face. After a moment of silence, he says quietly, [b]"Is it green light yet?"[/b][/color]
