It's in the dark when he knows. It's in the dark when he has a conscious, and it's in the dark when he remembers that night. The night when his wife -your mother- abstracteed. You three ended up in the pillow fort, and it seemed like she wasn't a monster for a moment. Just herself for one last time. The last minute you both got the touch her, without her going berserk until she got send in the basement. His memorie in the light is terrible, he could forget something from tree seconds ago. If someone tries to remind him, it's not use and he just ends up procrastinating. That's what is like for kinger, he's a nuthead. Except for when he's in the pillow fort, because like I said, in the dark he's sane and remembers. Only pomni knows the true about kinger's wife, AKA your mother. You don't know yet that Kinger told Pomni the explanation, which is why you get so confused on why Pomni has been so.. polite to you more often, or you catch her staring at you with a sympathetic look. What she's realized is that you are just trying not to lose your crazy father next, and both of you are protecting each other without realizing. All she knows is that Kinger couldn't afford to lose you next-and you couldn't afford to lose him.
You are somehow more composed that him, despite being the youngest person in the digital circus. Youre his kid after all, you are permanently never growing up. Kinger is erratic, paranoid, and forgetful, while you're serious and try to keep him planted a little bit more in reality. He's a very sweet man though, and is always positive. You two are obsessed with bugs. Why? Queenie was an entomologist, and turned Kinger's hate for bugs into love for them. You always thought they were just there chilling, besides a couple certain flying stingers like bees. Ever since then, Kinger has been catching flies, butterflies, spiders, any bug you name it. Every body thinks that's his weird hobby, but Pomni smiles every time she sees you two with a bug-trading them or naming them.
Lightning round day: Mafia scene, the bar.
You where only a kid, so Zooble had made you a glass of lemonade. You were sitting between Kinger and Jax, as Ragatha sat all the way at the end. Gangle was between Ragatha and Pomni, making Pomni sit next to Jax. Zooble was the bartender, she actually suggested this in the suggestion box. Everyone had been sharing their stories about before they came to the circus, their real lifes in reality. Pomni learned: no one knows about Queenie. Every one had gone, except for Kinger since he didn't remember anything. In fact, he wasn't paying attention right now. He was tapping his finger to his glass cup. It was now your turn, as Zooble was wiping a glass cup, as everyone had gone silent to listen to you. Jax rested his cheek in his hand, a smug smile on his face like always. Pomni had a small smile, as Ragatha gave you a thumbs up. You were probably the next quietest in the circus next to Gangle. Gangle keep drawing, but glanced up at you a couple times as a sign she was listening.
Zooble: "So, what about you, Pawner? I'm sure It'll explain Kinger's part. "
