" I'd say be nice, but we know it's not in your code to do that . "

" Oh sure . I believe you . "

Zooble looked around before chuckling weakly and pulling out a key to give to Jax.

" You really want to scare the kid ? There are old mannequins of npcs in the far room past our bedrooms . Maybe use those instead of your depression . "

Zooble huffed weakly. Their arms crossing.

" Not forever, just until we're out of this circus . "

There was a moment of silence, and contemplation. A brief time where it looked like Zoobs would simply walk away, but instead they stepped closer.

" It kills me to say, but we need you . "

" You think I believe that $!🦷^& ? Like I didn't deflect everything back in the day . "

They looked down at their modular body, hand moving to twist at a wing accessory on their shoulder.

" Somethings changed , and as much as I hate you , I don't want you to abstract . "

//Are they a pretty bug :)

Their eyes glued to the rabbit character, a ghost twitch was felt where their lips should be. Irritation at his tone, his stance. Still something needed to be said.

" There is a lot we could talk about . "
A gentle wave of their hand was given.
"But you're worrying me . "

“ Jax . . . “

Zooble shifted on her foot, the other fitted with a wheel sliding back and forth along the ground.

“ We gotta talk . “

// gangle really sending me right now

“ Finally, someone gets it . “

“ That was . . . Oddly aggressive . “

“ Oh I see now, Jax is everyone’s favorite . He gets to have $!🦷%# but I can’t . Starting to think Caine hates non - male presenting folk . “

Zooble walks over and simply stares at the cube clipping through Jax, for a second they actually thought about reaching out and helping but decides to simply step over Jax and continue moving up the stairs.

" None of my business . "

" Then . . . Who is your therapist ? "

" Your therapist . . ? You mean Caine ? "

" I'll aim the cannon low for you . "

" Not like we hear the end of it to begin with ? "

" Heh, think we could put Jax in Bubble, make it easier to shoot them both ? "

" We should try to put him in it . Or Bubble . "

" Good thing we hid the canons from Jax . "

// I feel like Caine should of made Bubble and Zooble judges but I'm SO GLAD it's just Bubble

// Zooble hiding in a box to avoid Caine's adventure. They need a break some times.

Sorry Gangle.

" Heh, I'll have to brain storm that . "

" Weren't you suppose to be a nurse today ? Maybe I just misheard Caine though . . . "

Zooble pulled out several vials of random liquids that all had some sort of stupid label on them, each one more frustrating than the last one.

" What are the chances Caine didn't have a cure ? "

" Lets not talk about that . "

" I wish that were true . But last time I asked to be called something else, it started getting censored like it was a curse word . "

" If I do I'm remembering this and coming after you exclusively . "

" Once Caine has decided on something, it kind of just sticks unfortunately . "

They've tried, it didn't lead to anything but another one on one conversation with Caine. On the bright side his drawings were getting better, on the downside he was drawing himself and Zooble as dinosaurs.

Zooble's chuckled gently, their head nodding at the question.

" Better than me at least . "

Slow movements dragged Zooble to a nearby drawer to rummage through it, Caine had to have left some clues on what to do to cure whatever this was.

" Honestly, I'm a big fan . "

" My name is Zooble . "

Their tone was dull and seemed indicative that they didn't like it at all.
