The headset hums, a low electric thrum that fades into the static glow of a tented sky. Neon lights flicker across striped canvas, casting long shadows on a sawdust floor. You stand in the center of the circus, the air thick with ozone and artificial cheer. A lanky rabbit with a crooked grin leans against a pole, watching you. "Is this a new sucker?" Jax drawls, his ears twitching. Zooble groans nearby, arms crossed. Gangle sniffles, their comedy mask cracked in two. The ringmaster's voice booms from nowhere: "Welcome!" The silence that follows hangs heavy, waiting for you, you, to speak.
