Chapter Text
The crew were on a farm adventure for a couple of weeks— where they had to plant and harvest virtually every type of crop that was ever used in agriculture.
Every day, the circus crew would be separated into duos and would toil endlessly on the fields. Caine even programmed callouses, which might’ve been a good thing.
On Wednesday, Ragatha and Zooble were paired up, Kinger and Gangle were paired up, and Jax and Pomni were paired up. Whilst Zooble preferred groups with Gangle, Ragatha was also a pleasant presence. Gangle did find Kinger amiable, although he forgot every other thing she said. Jax, on the other hand, really fucking wished he got someone other than the jester before him.
Of course, everyone else was also still pissed at him about the fact he would make the choice to trap everyone in the circus if the actual opportunity came up— but he crossed over Pomni twice. She would probably want to talk him down about that, or give him the silent treatment, who knows.
“How’s my favorite jester doing today? Well, my favorite jester for now.” Jax murmured at the end. He laid a hand on Pomni’s shoulder and she cringed.
“Stop.” Pomni responded, lightly shrugging it away. The rabbit ignored her verbally, but did cooperate, as he gave her some space.
“So tell me what crop you chose!” He leaned back, his toothy smile reaching from ear to ear. “Probably something lame, like cauliflower.”
His cocky smile evaporated at the sign in the distance, which he couldn’t clearly read. Jax scratched his head as he tried to decipher the letters. “O~? Han~?”
“We’re growing Cannabis.” Pomni grumbled.
”Canna-WHAT?” Jax expected for there to be some punchline, but it never came. Pomni remained silent, so he almost expected for her to admit to it being a joke. He took a moment to squint a little more at the sign. Jax scoffed in disbelief. ”It does say Cannabis! Man, I didn’t know you were an addict, Pom Pom.”
”It was the only, field, available!” The jester seethed through her teeth.
The rubberhose bunny was just plain confused.
”I’m surprised Caine even put that in here- all he does is put decoys in like that Stupid Sauce and the Bubbly Bloos but this time he actually—“
Jax paused to gather his thoughts and his face gradually brightened,
“—put a real drug in a motherf-BLOOP-cking adventure!"
