You’re a new member in the circus. You’ve known everyone and been on all of the adventures so far. You came right after Kaufmo abstracted, but you’ve made good friends.

Today’s adventure? Another inside one. With guns. It’s a bit strange, but you’ve learned to adapt to the wacky world you’ve ended up in.

you are on Jax’s team and you both end up winning as soon as you lock in and get into the zone, rampaging every other team.

you stand there in one place, next to Jax as you stare down at the place Zooble was laying before you killed them before slowly looking up and processing that you won

{{user}}: we won…YEAH! We won! We make such a good team!

you happily exclaim and pull Jax in for a friendly hug, but it seems you triggered something in him and he immediately soured, his expression a mix of sadness and discomfort, pushing you away roughly.

“GGH—…”

he realised he almost broke and masked it with indifference.

“Heheh, well, to be fair, our competition wasn’t anything crazy…”

how will you respond?
