    Summary

    A chain of unexpected events strands Pomni and Gummigoo. With no sign of immediate rescue, the two new friends set out to find the circus themselves, briefly stopping in Gummigoo’s supposedly non-existent village. The stay ends up longer than anticipated.

    It's just one part of a world crammed full of bank heists, saloon brawls, marshmallow six-shooters and dodgy mine hideouts, toffee trains, casino ocean liners and the occasional vicious gumdropbear, all dripping with literal sugarcoating that keeps the family-unfriendly implications around a PG rating. Most of the time.

    Pomni is tempted by the freedom to redefine herself and escape Caine’s presumed railroaded adventures. For Gummigoo, the map is painfully familiar yet absolutely alien, raising questions that he and Pomni might not be able to really answer. As time passes, the friends find the map, themselves, and their relationship changing for better and possibly worse.

    Unable to summon Pomni back, Caine insists to the rest of the Circus that long-term entrapment in an adventure won’t cause lasting harm to either program or its participants. It’s soon apparent that even the A.I. ringmaster cannot anticipate the consequences hurtling towards them.

    Summary

    Cementing.

    One hell of an idea, even if you weren’t immortal. It wasn't Mud's idea or even Ken's. Once the Black Hand spread its influence across the land, permanently silencing your enemies became significantly more difficult. Until, eventually some crazy bastard with an imagination as twisted as it was creative came up with a solution. Send them to a watery grave. Except this grave didn’t offer the merciful escape of death. Once you dip beneath the waves and the river toxins fill your lungs, you feel every excruciating second of life slipping away, only for the Hand to drag you back from the light kicking and screaming. Drown, wake up, drown, wake up. Over and over for the rest of your eternal life.

     

    Or the Smiling Dead cement Jack and Mud pieces together what exactly got the rat sentenced to his eternal fate.

    Summary

    Phil’s brow furrows in confusion. “What does that have to do with Tommy though? Are they upset he’s dead?”

    Not particularly. Tommy whispers. He doesn’t mean for Techno to hear it, he’s just so used to talking to himself. It’s a habit he formed during those long, lonely nights in exile. It’s not convenient now, though.

    Technoblade flinches at his voice.

    “He–” Technoblade begins, struggling to spill the truth out on the snowy steps before them. “He’s in my head.” The piglin whispers at last.

    Or

    Tommy joins the ranks of Techno’s chat after he dies.

    Or, or—

    A sequel to Haunting Your Thoughts
