    Summary

    With one Artifact in their possession, the Traveling Circus follows Caine's clues to the location of the next. There are a lot of firsts for Pomni: first time sleeping under the stars in an Abstraction-infested world, first time traveling miles by foot only, and first time adventuring... without Gummigoo there to cheer her on.

    As she begins to get to know the party better, one member continues to puzzle her: Jax avoids every and any interaction if it doesn't have to do with the quest. Following some guidance from Kinger, Pomni, as curious as ever, makes it her personal mission to find out more about this ranger.

    Advice isn't the only thing Kinger gives her, either: it seems like he's familiar with whatever location they're headed to.

    Summary

    Pomni isn't an adventurer-- she's just a regular bard, who travels from town to town, singing songs to keep everyone happy and hopeful during these dangerous times. But her travel companion Caine has an important Quest she needs to deliver to a notoriously chaotic adventuring group the general public likes to call the Traveling Circus. Despite what her best friend Gummigoo thinks, Pomni embarks on her very first adventure with the strangest rag-tag group of people she's ever gotten to know, to eradicate the Abstraction Virus that's been terrorizing the world for centuries now. Will she be able to find some new material to write more songs with? Or will she lose her mind learning to cope with the craziest adventurers she's ever met?

    Summary

    “Hey Jax..” Pomni starts to call out quietly but upon seeing the back of his shoulders tense further she pauses.

    Are you okay? She wants to ask.

    But her gut tells her that that might not be the best approach with Jax yet. The memory of him hunched over the buttons console in despair, raw and full of hurt comes unbidden.

    “...What is this place?” She asks instead, relieved to see that his shoulders slightly sagged down as if in relief.

    Jax cracked one eye open and glanced lazily toward the far wall.

    “No idea,” he said. “Just another one of those rooms.”

    or

    After the events of episode 7, Jax grows more withdrawn. When Pomni accidentally discovers the room where he’s been hiding, the two form an unexpected bond—and a new kind of trouble that extends far beyond just themselves.

    Summary

    Caine takes their suggestions for ‘calmer’ adventures a little too far, and now Pomni is stuck playing house with Jax for the next seven days.

    An exceedingly normal house in an exceedingly normal town with the exceedingly normal understanding that she and Jax are now the neighbourhood’s blushing newlyweds.

    Neither of which knows exactly what to do with that, especially after the fight that revealed parts of themselves they’d both rather keep out of sight. It’s awkward at best, and it only spirals from there.

    Summary

    Pomni is a junior legal assistant at Caine & Abel, technically competent yet emotionally hanging by a thread. By the time she leaves work after an especially hellish day—missed sleep, angry emails and even angrier people she’s barely holding it together. So when her car breaks down on the side of the road, it feels less like bad luck and more like the universe personally telling her to go fuck herself.

    That’s when Jax shows up. A mechanic with grease on his hands and a mouth full of attitude, acting like helping her is the biggest inconvenience of his night. Pomni braces herself for judgment or some half-assed comment, but instead he just gets to work on her engine. He fixes the problem, explains it in rough, simple terms, and doesn’t make a big deal out of it. By the time her car is running again, Pomni is still tired, still anxious, still very much a mess. but she feels a little less alone and a lot warmer inside.
