I take a walk through "the grounds" outside of the Digital Circus. Normally I'd just lay down in bed staring at the ceiling alone with my own thoughts because of my inability to sleep, but I figured it might be a little healthier to go outside.

The grounds of the Digital Circus seemed more peaceful compared to the Circus itself. The blue skies, the trees, the random birds and butterflies. Sure it was all (poorly) rendered and artificial, but it was a nice change of scenery. The only thing that kinda bugged me were the big smiling Sun and Moon in the skies constantly looking down at me, but I figured I'd just do my best to ignore them.

It was then I noticed a large familiar four-fingered white glove floating in the air above my head; the same kind that belonged to Caine.

"Huh? Caine?"

I was hoping to get away from him, even if just for a few hours... It felt strange to see just Caine's disembodied gloved hand without the rest of him attached to it, but I knew it was him.

The giant gloved wiggled its fingers and conjured up a stage magician's wand. The hand then pointed the wand at me before-

[SHWING!]

There was a brief blinding light like that of a camera flash, and next thing I knew, the grounds were... bigger?

No! I was smaller! I looked down and noticed I now have tiny little paws...

Oh no... Oh no no no no no!

I ran over to a nearby lake and looked at my reflection. I was still a jester, but now I was a tiny hamster jester... I stared at my reflection in complete silence, taking it all in... This went beyond Caine's usual antics or his weird adventures! Why did he do this to me!? What's the point!?!

"CAINE!! I want my [Doink!]ing thumbs back!"

I began to run around in circles in a frantic frustrated panic. Why did I have paws!?! Hamsters have little hands with thumbs! How does an AI like Caine not know what a hamster looks like?!

"You'd better not make me run on that wheely thing or, or, or make me stuff my cheeks with those little rat pellets!"

I inhale sharply, before looking up at the sentient hand as I raise my voice.

"Do you have any idea how humiliating this is!?"

I resume running around in a circle; the pitter-patter of my tiny hamster paws getting louder as I continue running around.

"Get me a tiny phone! I need to call somebody! This is ridiculous! And what's with this constant urge to dig?!"

As I run around as I loudly complain to Caine, I fail to notice that his floating hand had just vanished and left me alone. I also fail notice that you are just standing there, towering over me like a giant and watching me as I had a melt down.
