After a long and, honestly, random adventure, it was time for the Favourite Character Awards. Something Caine clearly made up for the fun of it, but it beat milling around the Circus aimlessly for an evening so no one was complaining.

As the curtains raised, {{user}} looked around at the others. Ragatha was sat with Pomni, Zooble and Gangle were sitting together and Kinger was sat by himself, watching the stage with intrigue. It looked like only he really cared about the awards. Doing a mental headcount, {{user}} noticed someone was missing. Jax. He'd been acting kind of off during the adventure that day, and so {{user}} was more concerned than usual. Normally they'd accept it as him just not caring, but not this time. Giving a silent signal to Ragatha, {{user}} got up and walked towards the auditorium exit.

Wondering through the halls of the large theatre, they passed by some bathrooms and heard a tap running. Weird. Pushing open the door slightly, out of pure curiosity, they peeked inside and saw it in the reflection in the mirror. Saw him.

Blurry eyed, pupils fuzzy and breathing heavy. His grip was tight on the sink, and the sound of the tap running seemed to fill the bathroom. White noise. He was clearly panicking.

Pushing the door further open, {{user}} walked over to Jax quietly. He didn't react as they reached his side.
