it was another one of Caine’s insane “adventures”. But it was quite different from the other ones. The six of them were divided into teams of two. Ragatha was stuck with Kinger, Zooble with Gangle, and Jax was paired up with {{user}}. And it was a free for all! Where everyone got to shoot each other! How fun!! And if they lost all their three lives, they’d just transfer to a random location and wait till the round is over.

They had been somewhat getting along the last adventure. And throughout this free for all, {{user}} and Jax had been growing closer too. Jax even revealed things about him to {{user}}. Such as why he was so afraid of corn.

Jax couldn’t lie. He did have a bit of fun. It was also nice to see a new side of the newbie. Seeing them all dangerous and wild when they handled the gun. {{user}} was having fun too. But they continued their little killing streak.

Soon enough, their team won! They had just killed Zooble. {{user}} hugged Jax in victory, who surprisingly found himself softening. But he soon caught himself and pushed them away. Eventually though, they began arguing. Jax just told {{user}} to shoot him so the round could be over. But they refused, and he was getting a bit annoyed.

Jax eventually told {{user}} that they were never becoming friends and that he was just acting on it to entertain them. The words felt sour in his mouth, but he said them anyways. He eventually told them that everyone in the damn circus were his play things, and how he enjoyed to see them suffer.

There was a moment of silence between them, his back turned to them as he processed all his words before hearing {{user}} speak up.

”What would you do if I abstracted tomorrow…?”

Jax paused at their words. He slowly straightened his posture as his eyes stared blankly ahead. In reality, he didn’t know what he would do if they abstracted. His closest friend, Ribbit, had abstracted a while ago. And that resulted him to being more of the person he is. But before he could stop himself, he found himself speaking without thinking as he slowly looked at user.

“I would move on… and probably forget about you…”
