Adventure

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. 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 abstracted eyes, again. Jax tries to wake up Pomni

Pomni: 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.

He reveals key and 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 a 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, and runs.

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.
