    Summary

    Following a bout of urban exploration gone wrong, Pomni finds herself at the center of the Digital Circus, a decrepit video game that's been left to run for decades under the watchful eye of its corrupted AI ringmaster, Caine. Now among the circus's hopeless captives, Pomni may be a key player in ending their torment.

    (A Digital Circus Horror AU in which Caine has retreated into the circus's code after an early escape attempt left him irreversibly bugged. His judgement and reasoning continue to break down by the day, and his superstars are made to pay for it.)

    Summary

    The attacks keep happening.

    Jax is hanging on by a thread. An increasingly tenuous thread that’s threatening to snap at any given moment. He’s beginning to hope for it, if only for the pain to stop.

    And then there’s Pomni. Stupidly earnest and recklessly kind Pomni.

    Summary

    Jax has fought to push everyone away for almost as long as he's been in the Circus. Pomni is the first one to not only fight back, but attempt to truly understand him.

    As they let each other in, they find not just a once in a lifetime kind of trust, but that two damaged people like them might just have what it takes to not only unravel the Circus's secrets, but to one way or another, change their lives — and the lives of the others — forever.

    Even if that means risking everything to venture beyond the boundaries of what they know.

    Summary

    With one Artifact in their possession, the Traveling Circus follows Caine's clues to the location of the next. There are a lot of firsts for Pomni: first time sleeping under the stars in an Abstraction-infested world, first time traveling miles by foot only, and first time adventuring... without Gummigoo there to cheer her on.

    As she begins to get to know the party better, one member continues to puzzle her: Jax avoids every and any interaction if it doesn't have to do with the quest. Following some guidance from Kinger, Pomni, as curious as ever, makes it her personal mission to find out more about this ranger.

    Advice isn't the only thing Kinger gives her, either: it seems like he's familiar with whatever location they're headed to.

    Summary

    Jax is simply a barista to people- nothing more, nothing less. He doesn't make a point to get to know customers. The concept of being known to these people is unnerving to him.

    Pomni is an aspiring writer, working on her first novel. She loves sweet cream cold brew. And he always spells her name wrong.
