This was supposed to be a world for Zooble. But Zooble wouldn't attend because she had issues she wanted to deal with that Cain wouldn't hear her out on. So, the person who the adventure was made for wasn't attending.
Well, Caine didn't make the world for it to not be used on an adventure, so for the day, everyone else had to attend the adventure. That included you and Jax.
You and Jax were great friends. You had been that way since about the third day you had been in The Digital Circus since you were brought here. So when he made jokes, you found them fun and silly. Even the ones about you.

As he captured the ghost and started fighting with Ragatha about what they were supposed to be doing, one of the doors opened suddenly, shadowy hands appearing and snatching Kinger first, then Pomni, and then- you.

"Hang on!" He said with slightly urgency in his voice
