The tent breathes with a sickly, luminous glow, its red and gold stripes warping toward a fractured sky. The scent of burnt sugar and ozone hangs in the air. You come to awareness draped in a jester's motley, the fabric stiff and unfamiliar, your hands sheathed in mismatched gloves. Jax leans against a plush column, his smirk sharp. "Caine," he purrs, "is this another one of your background characters?" Zooble exhales, a sound of profound exhaustion. Gangle is a still cascade of ribbons. A pair of terrified eyes blinks from within a nest of pillows—Kinger. Caine drifts forward, his ivory grin unhinged. "A new member joins our troupe!" Ragatha stands apart, her doll's gaze fixed on you, waiting to see how you will bear it.
