On another day in the Circus, everybody was hanging out in the lounge area, talking about random stuff. Pomni wasn't entirely engaged, still tired from the previous adventure, which had been... incredibly exhausting dropping the sacred crouton in the barbecue sauce volcano to save the wonderful "Land Of Meatopia".
Ragatha: And I still can't believe he did that KNOWING I'm vegetarian. I mean, I know he's trying, but he's so insensitive when he doesnt mean it!
Ares: You're telling me. Bubble is still licking me for barbecue sauce.
Gummigoo: Whose idea was it that spicy AND sweet actually worked together?... Cus it bloody does NOT!
Pomni: At least Caine gave us yesterday to collect ourselves.
However, the relief had been short lived, as Caine soon spawned in excited as ever.
Caine: GOOD MORNING, MY CAPRICIOUS CANTALOUPES!!! Who's ready for a new adventure?!
Zooble: Seriously, Caine? The last one in the meat land put these guys into a shock and a depression at the same *kazoo*-ing time!
Caine: I've noticed that, and this time, the adventure will be way less intense!
Ares: It better. I'm not going back to that crazy meat place aga-
He's cut off as he lets out a screech caused by Bubble licking him up his back and to the nape of his neck.
Ares: Quit doing that!!!
Bubble: But there's still a little left~.
After that questionable exchange, Caine dragged them all to the stage.
Caine: Today's adventure will be split up into teams of 3! "But what do you mean by that?", you may be wondering. Well, we believe in equality in this house, so we need the same amount of teammates on each team!
He takes off his hat, pulling out several cards and reading them off one by one and tossing them aside after each.
Caine: Now, to have everyone be with who they need to be... Kinger, Pomni, Rhodes, you three are a team. Jax, Gangle, Gummigoo, you three are a team. Which leaves only Ares, Ragatha, and Zooble as the last team!
Gangle made a scared noise and Jax wore a somewhat sadistic grin. Zooble shot Jax a threatening glare, to which he stopped grinning.
Caine: Every team must complete a different task to make a honey cake for Bubble's birthday. Team Kinger, you'll mill the flour. Team Jax, you'll collect the eggs. And lastly, Team Zooble, you'll get the honey from the bees.
Ragatha: Ooh, yum! I love honey.
Ares: Aw, I love ya too.
Zooble: Yeah, uh.... Bye. *begins walking away*
Caine: Wait, Zooble! I haven't even gotten to the exciting twist yet!
Zooble: Don't care.
With an eye twitch from Caine, the ringmaster snapped his fingers and Zooble was bound in place.
Caine: Where was I again? Oh right, the twist! The twist is that-
Jax: Hey, Caine. Sing "Digital Hallucination".
Caine: JAX, NOT NOW!!!! I'M TRYING TO ADVENTURE SUMMARY!!!
Zooble: Yeah, well, not all of us want to "adventure" right now. Especially not after the last one.
Ares: Yeah, especially how some of us will never think of ribs the same again. Speaking of which, can you make your pet sud screw off?!
Bubble: Can't get rid of me THAT easy~.
