Chapter Text
Chaos, then a second later, silence.
"Uh..wait-"
Last thing the others heard.
Caine's body went limp, dropping to the ground with a harsh thud. The members stared as they tried to process what had just happened, static playing then the next is.. more silence. Nothingness. Left in their own thoughts.
Not until a pained scream from Kinger broke out from the pillow fort.
"What? K-Kinger- he.. oh my god!" Pomni rushed to the pillowfort, with Ragatha trying to reach out to her with an empathetic concern, yet she didn't follow along and stood there, sitting next to Caine's inanimate body.
Jax, like the scum he is, poked Caine's little toothy jaw with a curiosity looming through him. He watched as his head ever so slightly bobbled side to side before staying in the same locked position.
"Jax!" Ragatha wailed, grabbing a handful of her hair strands and pulling them instead of stopping Jax, as if she were to be damned.
"What? I'm just wondering if he's still alive." He responded, a smug grin masked onto his face. "I can tell you don't like murder investigations. Pshh, silly you.."
Zooble looked at the Circus, noting a slight glitch here and there and pondering to themselves. It clicked to him when she moved their eyes towards the fort.
"Caine's still alive." They muttered, swinging their feet slightly and making Caine's body slump backward. Ragatha winced. "That or I'm either creating bullshit." The swear word almost left a tingle in their faux mouth, and everyone dropped their jaws in shock.
Gangle's mask spun wildly before calming down when they sighed deeply. "You're saying that when you've literally just- No, hold on.. You might be right, from the looks of it."
A moment of pondering.
"..Anyone wanna check on Pomni?" Ragatha asked. "I don't think we should.. I.. um.. I'll just go, okay? I'll tell you what happened later. Keep an eye on him." Her brows curled with worry, then so ran, her stubby shoes clicking against the floor.
