Today's adventure is brought to you by the Favorite Character Awards!

Stay tuned and find out who will claim the ultimate prize!

Can you toss that back up here?

Making good use of your parts, Gimmick, huh?

Oh, shut up.

What are you doing up there?

I'm hiding from Kane.

I think I overheard him talking to Bubble about an in -house adventure, and I'm not gonna be part of it.

And you're just gonna hang out in a flower pot all day?

Not like your room?

Kane's been checking up on my room lately.

When I don't answer, he just starts singing Daisy Bell in front of my door.

It's creepy.

Does he really do that?

I don't know.

Let's ask him.

Hey, Kane!

You f*hole!

Yes, Jax?

Look, it's Zubel!

F* you!

Ah, there you are.

Now I don't have to do the Snap Summon thing.

And I'm glad I found you.

We need even numbers, because today's adventure is a TEAM adventure!

Meet you guys up at the stage in, uh, let's say...

5 .7 minutes.

Great.

Wait.

You didn't even ask him about the singing thing.

The what?

Today's adventure is gonna be a bit of a short one due to the favorite character awards.

But it'll be a perfect opportunity to showcase your guys' strengths to the press.

This is so heavy.

That's right, Bubble.

Seeing you all play Batball a few days ago really got me thinking.

We should do our own sporting event, but with cool new sports invented by yours truly!

Help me, Cain.

We could also just play softball normally this time.

Yeah.

In the Cain Leagues, we have the 400 -meter vertical skedaddle, bisection boogie egg ball, lateral hijinks,

orange sport, ball run, walk ball, run walk, and ball ball.

These sports are surely going to - Yeah, sorry.

No, I'm not gonna be on a team with that one.

Mwah.

Zubal, why does all you do is complaining?

I never know what you want!

We had a whole suggestion box for that.

Yeah, Zubal and I constantly say we like more chill and relaxing adventures.

Did you really not like my softball one?

I'm not big into sports, sorry.

The suggestion box just causes interpersonal drama.

And me no likey!

Alright, you really wanna know what I want?

Oh no. I want the ability to have sks.

No way!

Are we finally having this conversation?

Oh, hi Zubal!

Do you have any of that stupid sauce left?

What were we talking about?

Oh yeah!

How teamwork is essential to making the dream work!

Tell that to him!

He's the one that f*s everything all the time.

You are in a mood today, aren't you?

Now, now!

You know what they say about assuming.

It makes an ass out of you and Ming.

Ming?

Did Kang just say ass?

Hi, I'm Ming, and I really don't appreciate what your assumptions have done to my reputation.

You mean a whole guy for that?

Whatever the case, it's evident now that there's quite a bit of tension between you all.

So maybe what we actually need to do are trust exercises.

I'm not falling into Jax's arms, if that's what you mean.

Don't worry, this will be a two -way trust exercise, where you'll each have to trust each other to not betray the other person.

This is a private room where nobody can see or hear you once inside.

And this is a loaded gun.

Oh boy.

Character A will take the gun into the private room and empty it out of all its ammunition, then come out and give it to character B.

Character B will then take the gun and shoot themselves in the head, trusting that character A emptied it in the private room.

Character A will also have to trust that character B won't turn the gun on them, so everyone is incentivized to follow the rules and trust each other.

Sounds a little convoluted.

A little convoluted!

Anyway, Jax, why don't you start?

What, him?!

Wait, what am I doing?

I wasn't paying attention.

Ah.

Or, yeah, we could all just shoot each other.

Here, have guns.

I don't care anymore.

Hooray!

Wait, that's just it?

Here's guns and have fun?

I didn't say have fun.

It's just a little aimless.

Use the sights.

KANE!

100

UGH!

101

FINE!

102

We're bringing teams back.

103

Pair up in teams of two, you all get three lives.

104

Last team surviving is the winner.

105

Happy?

106

Um.. not really.

107

Well, that's not my problem right now.

108

I have an awards show to plan, so you guys are gonna have to handle yourselves for a bit.

109

You get five minutes to figure the teams out.

110

Once that's up, it's a free -for -all!

111

Come on, Sadie.

112

You're coming with me.

113

I'm actually gonna be on a team with Zubal!

114

What?

115

No, you're not.

116

We've been together for every team adventure in the past.

117

Guest times are changing, bunny boy.

118

Hey, you wanna be on my team?

119

Oh, I'd love to, but, well, I really don't want Kingar to get stuck with Jax.

120

Oh, yeah.

121

Well, I could be on Kingar's team.

122

He and I were together once, and it wasn't too bad.

123

Uh...

124

Hmm...

125

And.. have.. me?

126

Oh, um...

127

Yeah, just forget I asked.

128

I'll be on Jax's team.

129

Wait...

130

Like you said, probably good to keep Kinger and Jax separate.

131

I can keep Jax in check, so don't worry about me.

132

Uh, hey, Pomni?

133

If you ever need to talk to somebody, or need help with anything, I'm here.

134

You have a partner yet?

135

Well, look who it is.

136

You sure you can handle me in all my glory?

137

Eh, I've been through worse.

138

Hey, Zubal.

139

Do you want to hold onto this during today's game?

140

Huh?

141

I.. don't really trust myself that much with it.

142

And I also just really want to be able to fire a Tommy gun while laughing maniacally, and I don't...

143

I don't want to break it before I get that chance.

144

I'll keep it safe for you.

145

Huh?

146

Wait, what, that counted?

147

Uh, Kane?

148

What?

149

Oh, yeah, the guns have been teleported to random spots in the circus.

150

Go find them, chimps!

151

We need to find the zombie gun!

152

Uh, wait, Kane!

153

I'm missing life!

154

There's no time!

155

It'll be my pleasure murdering all of you!

156

Uh, have fun, guys!

157

Ha!

158

You're so lame!

159

Ah -ha!

160

You little devil!

161

All right.

162

Now I would bet our biggest concerns would be Jax and Zubal.

163

They're the youngest, so they probably still have some youthful fighting spirit.

164

Ugh, man.

165

I'm still missing a heart.

166

This isn't fair.

167

Huh?

168

Oh, I've got just the thing.

169

Here, take this.

170

Wait, what did you just do?

171

What was that?

172

It's a butterfly.

173

It can restore your health.

174

Did Cain mention that?

175

Oh, nah.

176

I made it up.

177

Uh, what?

178

So, who are you going to kill first, Pom -Pom?

179

Uh, I don't know if I'll really be doing much of the killing.

180

I'll just find guns for you, and you can do all the violent stuff.

181

You like that, right?

182

You know none of this is real, right?

183

What do you mean?

184

Like the circus?

185

The game today is literally to shoot each other.

186

So what's the point in taking this moral high ground?

187

Well, they're my friends.

188

I don't really want to hurt them.

189

All right, let me be real here.

190

Why do you care about that?

191

Uh, about not hurting my friends?

192

Look, I know what it's like.

193

One day you're somebody in the real world doing important things, and then the next you're just a weird little cartoon.. jester.

194

You want to hold on to that part of you that still thinks it's part of that world.

195

But in the end, what does it get you?

196

Ragatha tries to be all nice and friendly, but she gets torn up every other adventure.

197

Whether we like it or not...

198

All we are now is a bunch of cartoon characters.

199

So what's the point of pretending we're not?

200

We're still people, though, right?

201

I thought we were at first, but as time goes on, we just end up falling into our archetypes.

202

Become part of the machine.

203

What's your archetype, then?

204

The villain?

205

Listen, I add a key dynamic.

206

I see how far I can push things, I screw with people, and I break the fourth wall.

207

You want to know why?

208

It's cuz it's funny!

209

I do everything cuz it's funny!

210

Cuz I'm the funny one!

211

The funny one?

212

Yeah!

213

Ragatha's the cheerful one, Gangle's the sad one, Kinga's the crazy one, Zubal's the grumpy one, and you are the one who hasn't figured that out yet.

214

We all just became archetypes.

215

I at least have the self -awareness to choose who I am.

216

The funny one.

217

So who do you want to be?

218

No better chance than now to try something new.

219

You want to go nuts?

220

You want to finally work off those weeks of rage and anguish that have been building up inside you?

221

I know you hate it here.

222

Everyone does.

223

But the silver lining is you can pretty much do whatever you want.

224

Like, look at the way you're aiming that gun.

225

Too realistic.

226

Just let loose.

227

Oh, what the heck.

228

Today, I'm just gonna be evil.

229

How's that?

230

Go for it.

231

Yeah, yeah!

232

Those other fools better watch their tales because they're going to face the wrath of Pomni the Evil!

233

It's kind of cringe.

234

Uh, are we really going to be shooting each other with these?

235

It's either shoot or get shi - Ragatha!

236

There's a sniper around this corner.

237

I think I got Kinger.

238

Uh, are you sure we're safe up here?

239

Whoa!

240

Tactical roll!

241

Come on, Ragatha!

242

Looks like we've located the king and the ragdoll.

243

Uh, yeah.

244

I mean, yeah!

245

Let's get him!

246

Uh, I don't even really know how to fire a gun.

247

I don't know how much use I'd be in...

248

Whoops, did I do that?

249

You missed a spot!

250

Ha!

251

You're so cool!

252

Rakata, take cover!

253

Huh?

254

I'll take rags.

255

You go kinger.

256

Rightio, evil bro.

257

I need a gun.

258

Need a gun, need a gun!

259

Come on, man.

260

Finger, really use another one of those butterflies!

261

Howdy, howdy.

262

I know exactly what you're doing with Pomni, and it'll never work.

263

You know, getting close with Pomni.

264

To corrupt her?

265

Wait, no, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait!

266

Oh, wow.

267

I didn't actually think that'd work.

268

Huh?

269

Oh.

270

I lost Kinger.

271

But I got him down to one life.

272

I lost a life, but I got us down to one kinger.

273

How'd you let her take a life off you?

274

I don't really know.

275

Hey, I found this AK thing.

276

If we can't find the Tommy gun, will this work?

277

Uh, yeah.

278

Do you think Jax is gonna be mad that I didn't team up with him?

279

I wouldn't worry about him right now.

280

It's all just a game in the end.

281

It's Jax, though.

282

He probably wants revenge.

283

And he's gonna make it painful.

284

Hey, you deserve better than thinking about him when he's not even here.

285

You're a human.

286

You're not his toy.

287

It sometimes doesn't feel that way.

288

Here we go.

289

these avatar gimmicks huh makes you wonder why no one else got them I just wish

290

that how are you supposed to like the part of yourself that just makes you worse than everyone else Because it exists

291

It's a part of you that's real And the only you that you should care about is the real you

292

You have to choose to love yourself Even if it doesn't make sense It's not natural,

293

it's intentional have you ever had to make that choice huh sorry i mean of course not you're zubal

294

whatever happens i've got your back if you've got mine yeah now let's go kill pomni and jax Alright, here's one.

295

What's with the corn thing?

296

What corn thing?

297

Why are you afraid of corn?

298

And don't say that you're not.

299

You literally jumped out of your seat twice when you saw some.

300

Not gonna let me out of this one.

301

Well, I don't know.

302

It's got a bunch of little pods on it.

303

Looks kind of like an egg sack or something.

304

It's gross.

305

Makes my skin crawl.

306

Interesting.

307

Do you have like a type of tripophobia?

308

What's that?

309

The fear of lots of little holes.

310

Yeah.

311

Okay.

312

How about.. pomegranates?

313

Awful.

314

I'm learning a lot about you today.

315

Let's not forget we're here to kill people.

316

We still need to find out where Nutso went before we can rest easy.

317

I'm right behind you, aren't I?

318

There he is!

319

Whoops, sorry.

320

I hope you guys are ready for my ricochet super move!

321

oh here's the light huh high five what a game who

322

knew probably could be such a sharpshooter these adventures huh

323

and look even though we lost at least we We gave it our all, right?

324

Um, you feeling all right?

325

Are you upset that we lost?

326

Are you upset about something else?

327

You wanna talk about it?

328

I think I might have failed Pomni, just like I failed Jax.

329

They try too hard to get on their good side, and then I just end up pushing them away.

330

And then they end up hating me.

331

Well, I don't think anyone in here hates you.

332

Jax does!

333

Gengel and Subal don't ever talk to me, and Pomni probably won't after today, either.

334

she came to me wanting to be on my team i said no why did i do

335

that maybe you just needed a break it sounds to me

336

like you put a lot of pressure on yourself to be there for everyone

337

and when you're not you beat yourself up for it you said you failed pomni why do you feel that way

338

I don't know.

339

I feel like every day we're drifting further apart, like she's seen through all my tricks and doesn't trust me anymore.

340

Before I know it, she'll be a different person, one who doesn't even want me around.

341

The way I see it, relationships are two -sided, and sometimes it doesn't make sense to do all the heavy lifting

342

when the other isn't in the mood.

343

we all go through and deal with things differently

344

and sometimes you just need to let people do things their own way as long as you're still there

345

when they need you giving someone space

346

should never be the same as giving up on them i don't even know what i want

347

i just want everyone to be happy and i don't want people to hate me Do you hate yourself?

348

I hated myself.

349

I couldn't help but hate myself for the things I thought I was responsible for.

350

I thought I'd lost everything.

351

But then you showed up.

352

And my outlook just.. changed.

353

there are always ways to show you care without ruining yourself over it you need to look out for yourself

354

and all this too i don't get it

355

so often nothing you say makes any sense

356

but then you have these moments where you i don't know how do you do

357

that i hope you've been around for so long i guess i just have a resilient mind Breathtaking!

358

The committee's gonna love that!

359

Are they still following us?

360

Are you still following us?

361

Yeah, we're still following you!

362

Where else would we be?

363

They're still following us!

364

Alright, this is a long one.

365

We're gonna have to run.

366

Let's go!

367

Ha!

368

Oh, we got so unlucky with the drops here.

369

It's time.

370

Why'd you stop shooting?

371

You out of ammo?

372

Why'd you stop?

373

You out of ammo?

374

Pumni, got any ammo left?

375

I have one in the cylinder and one sniper round, but no sniper rifle.

376

Crap.

377

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

378
