*awkward silence*

Kinger:
AH! Oh, Gangle. You startled me.

Kaufmo Situation

Ragatha:
So, this is where we all live. Or well, where we all sleep at night. Even though we don't really need to sleep. It's sometimes nice to kinda take a break from everything and have a bit of routine, y’know? I'm sure there will be one for... Oh, look you already have one!

(Pomni stares at the door with the same facial expression)

Pomni:
I... still don't understand.. about the adventures. Why even go on them at all? Why not try to find a way to leave?

Ragatha:
Well, we usually do, when we first arrive, but after a while, you start to realize that you really can't leave and constantly chasing an unattainable goal will start driving you a bit crazy. And eventually, you get to asking what the point of anything is and you completely lose sight of who you are and why you're even alive, and when you reach your breaking point, something really terrible can happen. (she stops herself her face looking like she's at her breaking point) Ah, but that's not something we need to deal with today. Above anything else, the adventures give us something to do that keeps our minds healthy and stimulated.

(Ragatha rings Kaufmo's doorbell)

Jax:
Thank goodness this is all a dream, right, Pomni?

(Pomni Has Rick and Morty-like eyes, as distorted muffled music is played. Jax gives her cheek a gentle slap trying to wake up Pomni)

Pomni:
*gasp* Why are we here again? What are we doing?

Ragatha:
We're getting one of our friends.

(Ragatha rings the doorbell, but there's no response.)

Ragatha:
Huh, maybe he's not in his room? I hope he's alright.

Jax:
Don't worry dollface, I've got a key to his room. (Reveals key spins it and walks towards Kaufmo's room)

Ragatha:
Wha, wait, wh-why?! You-you-you shouldn't have keys to anyone's room!

Jax:
Nah, I've got keys everywhere, and you've all been fine. By the way, I may have left something in your room today, so let me know if you find it. You're not afraid of centipedes, are ya?

Ragatha:
JAX! That's literally my only fear, why would you do this?!

Jax:
What? It could be a completely unrelated question. You'll never know until it's too late.

(To their surprise, they see writing everywhere, messed up pictures, and an abstracted black glitchy creature with realistic creepy eyes - they are Kaufmo, who has well been abstracted)

Jax:
Oh, I've been looking for this. Thanks for keeping an eye on it, Kaufy. I'm gonna head out, see ya. (Jax picks up a sort of bowling ball item. Jax then runs away like a Looney Tunes character leaving a cloud of white smoke shaped like him)

Ragatha:
Oh, Kaufmo's.. been abstracted! That-- that's okay.

Pomni:
What is that?

Ragatha:
It.. might be that terrible thing I was talking about earlier, when you reach your breaking point?!

Pomni:
H-huh?

Ragatha:
Okay, wait! Maybe there's still time to fix him before we get Caine!

(Abstracted Kaufmo approaches Ragatha and gets out of his room. While Ragatha is stuck, Pomni tries to escape)

Ragatha:
Whoa! Kaufmo, Listen! I know we didn't always get along, like when you called me out for fake laughing at your jokes! I swear, I really did think they were funny, I was just having a bit of a bad daaaaAAAYYYYY! (Abstracted Kaufmo grabs and drags Ragatha, interrupting her)

(Abstracted Kaufmo hits Ragatha on the walls, floor, and ceiling multiple times, and now Ragatha is glitched)

Ragatha:
Hey, Pomni? You think you could perhaps help me out here? I understand... if you don't... want to, though.

(Pomni tries to help Ragatha, but her hand is now glitched)

Pomni:
Ow!

Pomni:
I'm sorry! (Runs away in fear)

(Abstracted Kaufmo chases Pomni but fails and breaks a fence, with Pomni successfully avoiding Kaufmo)

(Pomni groans and exclaims softly as she runs back down the hallway towards Ragatha.)

Getting the Gloinks

(Zooble screams in the hole)

Kinger:
I don't know what I'm looking at here.

Gangle:
We saw a Gloink carry one of Zooble's pieces down there, remember?

Kinger:
Oh, yeah. Thank you for the recap.

(Zooble Still Screaming inside the hole)

Kinger:
Boy, we're not very good at this, are we?

(Jax is seen running)

Jax:
Ugh.. Sup, fellas?

Kinger:
JAX! We found the Zooble hole.

Jax:
Cool.

Gangle:
How’s Kaufmo doing? I hope he's not still mad at me for not laughing at his jokes.

Jax:
Oh, he's doing great. In fact, I don't think I’ve ever seen him this happy before.

Kinger:
Well, it's good to know he hasn't completely lost his mind.

(Kaufmo growls in the distance and Jax looks at it)

Jax:
He actually asked me to give you this. (He throws the bowling ball at Kinger which knocks him inside, followed by Gangle, and Jax jumping inside the hole)

(The scene cuts off with a long red slide with Kinger, Gangle, and Jax with it. followed by a sign with Caine in the middle saying "RADICAL". Followed by Kinger and Gangle being a bowling ball to a group of bowling pin-shaped Gloinks. Followed by Jax, who knocked down the remaining pin-shaped Gloink, following a cardboard spare, which Jax broke in half. Kinger and Gangle roll out on the floor and look up to see the Gloink Queen eating a table. She burps)

Kinger:
An insect collection?

Gangle:
I think it's a nest.

(Gangle and Kinger look at each other)

*awkward silence again*

Kinger:
(stands there staring at her) AH!- *scream gets cut off*

(Scene cuts to Pomni walking through the trashed hallway, looking for Ragatha)

Pomni:
Hello? Ragatha? That was your name, right?

(Pomni sees an abstracted Ragatha lying against the wall.)

Ragatha:
O-o-over here. (groans)

Pomni:
Hey, look, I'm...I didn't mean to leave you behind like that. I, just...look at my hand. I-I didn't know what to do.

Ragatha:
It—it's okay. What you need to do right now is to find Caine. He'll be able to fix me up and take care of Kaufmo.

Pomni:
Oh, okay, but where can I find him?

Ragatha:
Uh, I don't really know. Just look around and call for him, I suppose.

Pomni:
Uh...okay! I'll get him! You just stay right there...not that you can really move or anything. Uhh.. Just hang in there, I'll be right back, I promise! (starts to run off but soon pauses when Ragatha starts to say something and looks over)

Ragatha:
(glitching horribly and speaking in a cracked voice) Cool. Also, Pomni, I'm sorry your first day here had to be so terrible.

Pomni:
(awkwardly still doesn't believe this is real) Uhhhh, yeah, well, don't worry about it. I'm just gonna go get Caine now. (Gives Ragatha a reassuring smile and runs off to find Caine)

Pomni:
(In front of the sleeping quarters) Hello? Caine? We have a bit of an issue here! (Calls out, but gets no response. She realizes the whole place is quiet and checks everywhere)
