Most awkward pile ever.
Caine’s adventures had left the circus exhausted. They had ran around for what felt like days from some sort of hunter npc that led to many brutal ‘deaths.’ The only reason why they all made it out was due to the npc somehow tripping and impaling himself. The hunter had rounded them into some weird room that looked like its only purpose was to torture people.
Gas had filled the room and resulted in a haze fogging up the room. They had all begun to drop one by one, some falling on each other making a huge pile in the middle of the room. It was quite nice for a moment, making Pomni feel a calm lull in her brain and relaxed her rubber muscles. She really wished she could say that now.
Zooble’s sharp head poked into her side and made it awkward to breathe. Kinger’s head stabbed into her back and she basically laid on top of his head. Of course she couldn’t move though, Jax having fallen on top of her legs and Ragatha being draped over her shoulder kinda prevented that. Gangle’s ribbons tickled her face and wrapped tightly across her torso. She was really close to sneezing and probably crushing Kinger’s head if she didn’t keep herself suspended uncomfortably.
Despite all of her complaints she kind of liked it. The awkward and painful pile was warm and wasn’t all that bad if she just let her mind go blank. She sighed and stared up at the metal ceiling. The soft breathing unified together and created a sort of white noise. Soon her purrs joined in with the snoring and breathing. She hissed in pain as Jax stretched out more and pressed her further back on Kinger’s head. To her it was worth it though, to be in the center of all of this.

“Do we wake her up?” Zooble stared down at Pomni who looked quite content despite Kinger shaking so much he could probably power a whole city. Jax shrugged and stretched over her and was probably crushing her and Gangle to death. Gangle squeaked and tightened around Pomni. It’d be cute if her ribbons weren’t stuck in tight knots and were wrapped around her neck and torso. “I dunno, she seems pretty comfy, plus she’s nice to lay on.” Jax went limp against her to show his point which only made Pomni purr louder. “Hey! I’m still trying to untangle Gangle here!” Ragatha raised her voice a bit and jabbed Jax in the ribs.
Suddenly Pomni moved in her ‘sleep’ and formed a scowl on her face. Everyone went silent and tensed up a bit…besides Kinger, he shook harder somehow. Slowly Pomni relaxed and they all breathed a sigh of relief. “H-how about we just…relax?” Gangle spoke up and left out a small sigh of relief as Ragatha loosened one of the knots.
“Sounds good to me.” Zooble flopped back down next to Pomni and pressed her sharp head into her side. Ragatha sighed and sunk down to the ground and chose a different knot to pick at. Kinger looked around nervously, it wasn’t like he was being crushed because of Pomni being extremely light, in fact to him it was like an impenetrable fortress just with people! Even Jax had no true complaints, comfortably stretched out over Pomni and Gangle. Though he could never quite satiate his chaos and flicked at Zooble’s attenae which earned him quite the vulgar conversation just with eyes.
It was quite peaceful indeed.
