The last two adventures- weren't Caine's best work. When everyone complained about them, Caine didn't respond nicely.
"Stop saying all these things!" The ringmaster mastered winned.
"Then listen to our suggestions! We filled the box!" Zooble argued, earing a creepy scowel from the pair of teeth.
"Those aren't really adventures! Where are the steaks?! The tension?!" Caine waved his arms around as bubble floated over.
"And what about the sexual tension~?" His sharp grin was met with a confused Caine.
"What now?" Caine was momentarily distracted, when Twinkle's eyes widened.
"Caine! I have an idea! Well- it's more like Kinger's idea." Everyones eyes met hers.
"Ha! If Kinger had a thought; let alone an idea, I'd be surprised." Jax smirked, looking at the lazy eyed chess piece.
"What about cake?" Kinger looked around as Jax nodded, he pointed proven.
"No hear me out. He told me how he once went to a rodeo! And western movies were his favorite. Remember Kinger?" The chess piece frog blinked. Then, looking down at Twinkle he screamed.
"AGH! oh- hey Twinkle. What's the adventure?" Twinkle hook her head before sighing.
"Anyway, what if we did a western adventure? Like cops and robbers!" Jax's ears perked. Western meant Guns.
"Oh, well now- that isn't half mad...and I could do good on my western wild map! Haha! Great idea!" Caine spun around happily.
"I'm not sure about this." Pomni spoke up. But Caine didn't care.
"Today's adventure is The Wild Wild West! Cops Vs Robbers! Please everyone accept for Twinkle stayed back." A brown and black portal appeared, and Jax sprinted into it. The fast pace made him bump into Gangle, her mask shattering.
"Awe no, not again." She sniffled as she followed behind Pomni, Zooble at her side.
*the group entered what could only be explained as: a late 80s western film police station. Everyone was dressed for the adventure.
Pomni and Gangle had similar outfits, but that isnt why Gangle's masks was matching the shade of red of her ribbons. Her ribbon body had extra ribbon now, helping mold an actual body shape. It had been so long since Gangle saw herself in a real body, that she couldn't contain her embarrassment. The extra ribbon had filled out and reshaped her, a new curvy-pear shaped body filled out her outfit. Both girls had on black tangtops, along with their own little pink bandana around their necks. Bell bottom jeans hung over black cowboy boots. Finally, both had crop flannels; which tied right underneath their breasts.
"Oh- oh my gosh! This is insane!" Gangle squealed as she looked at her reflection. Pomni's jester hat was also replaced by a cowboy hat, allowing her short brown hair to hang freely.
"Whoa- I actually have hair." Pomni brushed her strands. The bright clown gloves that wete trapped around her hands, now replaced with leather like gloves. Silver decorated the knuckles in almost spiked patterns.
Ragatha wasn't changed to drastically, however her dress was different. The raggedy dress now hung above her knees. Her little doll feet also had cowboy boots on, but they were white with hold stitched swirls. Her dress was a coffee brown, puffy sleeves and a low neck line. Her skirt was ruffled, making it sway when she moved. Her bosom was essentiated with a white fest. A golden belt hugged her waist, the large buckle had a picture of a bull itched onto it. Finally, she didnt have a hat; but her hair was longer and tied into braids.
"My goodness- this is amazing!" Ragatha couldn't look away from herself. For so long, she had been in the same outfit. This made her feel free, even if for just a second.
Zooble looked down, they had a more masculine look; and it seemed to please them. Their denim jeans were black, without the bell bottoms. Due to their weird feet though, they didn't get cool cowboy boots. Instead they had on a blue and white flannel, the sleeves cuffing half way down their arms. Where their mouth would be, a white bandana hung. A dull brown hat sat around their antennas, gold discreetly rounded its edges.
"You all look ridiculous." Jax's mocking earned a glare from Zooble.
"Oh yea? Take a look at yourself then." Jax rolled his eyes, bet turned to the mirror.
He had on a white button up shirt, the sleeves rolled up half way. The buttons were only half way done, leaving his smooth-purple chest exposed. His blue denim jeans were bell bottoms like the girls, but his boots were black; silver spurs clicked as he walked. A cowboy hat with silver, sat on his head. The rabbits bunny ears dropped behind his head, making room for the hat.
"Huh- hey not bad." Jax finger gunned into the mirror.
"Whoa- guys look-" Gangle pointed behind Jax.
Finally, everyone looked toward Kinger. They had never seen him outside his purple robe before. His body was defined under the layers he was given. He had a loose hanging leather jacket on, tassels lined his shoulder pads with dull golden rope. The jacket was cut off however, a tight- almost coset like wrapping covered his waist. His denim jeans were loose, and pulled into sleek cowboy boots. Decorative, golden spurs jingled when he spoke. A dull brown and white bandana was tied loosely around his neck, looking like it could be a mask if pulled up. A large, lifted brimed cowboy hat sat on his head. Due to the cross ontop of his head, the hat tilted and covered his higher eye. He look rather respectable, especially when his sheriff badge shined in the light of the police station.
"Really? He's the sherif?" Jax complained. He was gonna continue, when a small snap turned everyones heads. Sitting at a desk, was a mannikin NPC. They were a dull brown, and wearing what looked like a kid's cowboy hat.
"Ah, thank you for coming on such short notice. Our sheriff has gone missing, and we can't seem to find him. Without him, a powerful criminal duo has plagued our town." As the NPC spoke, everyone looked at the picture hanging up. A gold label read, "Sherif". It was a red manikin, dawning a beat up brown hate.
"Hey Dissappearing guy. That's kinda funny." Ragatha giggled, but Pomni looked confused. She was gonna ask about him, but the NPC had other ideas.
"Please, won't you catch the dangerous duo? Save our town heros."
"And how can we do that? We don't even have any weapons." Jax pointed out, but just as he said that; a pop of glitter made everyone jump. Attached to their waists, now sat a gun holster. A simple revolver, holding six bullets. Kinger, had two revolvers- being the new sheriff and all.
"We will! You can count on us!" Ragatha chimed in.
"Great. Go into town, talk with the folks and try to find the duo. Our trust is in you now." The NPC waved them off as they filed out of the small building.
The outside was hot, no breeze. Just sun. The desert landscape was almost beautiful. Although, the over smoothness and brighter tones reminded everyone; they were still in the circus. The towns people were just three manikin NPCs reused. A woman in an apron dress, a generic cowboy, and a child-of no specific gender. Jax walked around, unamused at the lack of details. The houses wouldnt open, and windows looked into the void instead of a home.
"This is boring. Where are these supposed criminals?" In Jax complaining, Pomni perked up.
"Wait a second, where is Twinkle?" Everyone stopped, looking around.
"She didn't follow us in?" Ragatha asked, worried.
"I thought she did- but we didn't see her in the station." Gangle looked around more.
"Enough of that! Duck!" Kinger yelled, and everyone was simply confused. The chess piece dove to the ground.
"Huh? HOLY SH(beep)! DUCK!" Zooble yelled, just in time for everyone to dive to the ground. Two silhouettes of horses flew over head, landing slightly away from the ground. A loud, deep laugh rumbled over the area. It send every NPC into a frenzy, running like crazy to get into their homes.
"Looking for someone~?" The familiar voice made the group look up. There, on the backs of black stallions- was Caine and Twinkle.
Twinkle's outfit was similar to Pomni and Gangle's. A dark purple tangtop fades into deep red jeans. A crimson denim jacket hung loosely around her shoulders. She didn't have on any shoes though. Her ears poked out of a purple cowboy hat, it's stitching made of gold. Her tail was wrapped with gold jewelry, as if she used it to smuggle them. She looked good- but everyone's eyes focused on her partner.
"Caine?!" Zooble called out in shock. On the second stallion, it looked like Caine. His body was longer, more humanoid. His denture mouth was more intimidating now. His teeth shaped and pointed into fang like canines. A single one sparkled gold. His eyes were a deep, taunting red; and narrowed at the group. His red coat matched Twinkles, but it was accented with a red bandana. A white button up shirt laid under it, contrasting his dark hues. His denim jeans hung just above his deep brown boots, gold spurs clinking with the his movements. Atop his creepy head, was a cowboy hat. Decorated with similarly stolen jewels. Though weird, his belt buckle was of a golden tooth. Weird flex but he went with it. In one hand was a revolver, and a back up one hung on his hip.
"Meet the new big bad NPC! Caine let me design him, and seeing him- his name couldn't be more obvious." Twinkle grin was a little creepy, folding up just a little to high.
"Absolute Masterpiece~ or, AM- for short." Spoke out the NPC. His long tongue smoothed over his golden fang. His revolver spun around his fingers, before pointing directly at Kinger.
"Lets dance~ cowboy." AM narrowed his eyes at the chess piece, who didn't avoid his gaze...
