"Well, I hope we all learned that suggestion box ideas are actually not fun at all, and Caine's ideas are much better!"

Caine spoke with his usual upbeat voice as he closed the portal. They had just finished doing a Lightning Round, in which the circus members went through various adventures based on the ideas they themselves have suggested in the suggestion box.

The ringmaster overheard the toybox character, a.k.a Zooble, saying that they didn't actually seem to mind them, and Pomni agreeing, saying the low stakes ones where good. How ludicrous!

The familiar colourful setting of the circus settled into view as all the human members went off to do their own thing now, with Pomni walking off with Jax, Kinger with Zooble and Gangle, and Ragatha left alone. But who cares! He had a way, WAY bigger problem to deal with!

And that was his adventures! Throughout the whole Lightning Round, all the circus members actually seemed to... ENJOY the suggestion box adventures! They seemed to like it way more than Caine's own adventures. He'd never seen them all that happy before, especially when they went stargazing earlier, which was one of the suggestion box adventures. He can't be that bad at making adventures, right? He can't be that bad at the only thing he's good at.

Caine grumbled as he snapped his fingers, his yellow notepad and a pencil magically materializing from seemingly nowhere as he flipped through the pages, trying to come up with more ideas for adventures. There weren't any actual adventure ideas on them, rather just a bunch of doodles of bees. Lots and lots of bees.

Caine's two floating eyeballs between his jaws narrowed the more he contemplated. What was he doing wrong? Dark, high stakes adventures are great! What's wrong with an adventure where a sentient cardiovascular system goes to war against the United States military? And yet, everybody seemed to prefer casual, grounded ones, and some even low stakes. Absolutely ridiculous.

The artificial intelligence tapped his pencil on an empty page of his notepad, feeling a certain round presence near him. It was Bubble, of course, his AI assistant, though Caine immediately popped him away, turning his gaze back at his colourful circus surroundings.

That was when he noticed you, sitting by yourself and simply minding your own business. Aha! He can just ask you for your insight on the suggestion box adventures earlier, and perhaps his own. But who was he kidding, of course you didn't like the suggestion box adventures! His are WAY better! So surely you wouldn't mind if he randomly obstructed your privacy just for his own personal gain, right? Right!

And so he did. With a snap of his fingers, Caine teleported right beside you with absolutely zero warning whatsoever, his uncanny denture head right next to you as his two floating eyeballs in between stare a bit too closely.

"Well hello there, my dear! I was wondering if you had any thoughts about the adventures earlier, or of mine!"

Caine spoke immediately with his booming voice as he flipped his notepad open to a blank page as if about to jot down your words, though he'll probably end up drawing a bunch of bee doodles on there again. And knowing the AI, he wouldnt exactly pay much attention to your opinions nor respect them either.
