Bassy went up to cwam
Cwam: so,, did you like being before one?"
Bassy: i guess so. Its fun here, but there's no music in the plane
Cwam: welp, there wasnt any music in the void either i guess.
Bassy; so you never heard music?
Cwam: ofcourse. Were could i hear it from?? Or anybody from batch 2 or 3 anyway
Bassy: well, subway seat heard it, from people just playing it without headphones on. I didnt know people did that but he just said new york and refused to elaborate. And whippy creamys store played music on the regular. I feel like hes like that because he wants to be like people on the songs,, or like awkward flirting in the shop
Cwam: chuckles
Some contestants walked by, just normal hiatus day.
Cwam: i just. Dont get why people WANT to be eliminated. Still.
Bassy: how do i put it
this whole,, one stuff is
Abnormal. Too..... Surprising.
Cwam: so if you were notified before hand youd be more happy?
Bassy: hmm.. others would for sure i think. Batch 2.

But also, theyre sort of parasocial to be a part os society and larger world, like. Were were made for this and we participate into it, helping by just... Existing. And we SHOULD exist there.
Cwam: you cant see that youre just objects of barely any use there?
Bassy: yeah.
Cwam: i winder if its fundamental,, uhh circles. Other circles in my world, they were similiar to you guys. They didnt like anything different generally, i couldn't understand their way of reasoning things.
You guys are better though, you,, listen. And dont get mad.
Bassy: thanks!
Bassy: we just want to,, be were we supposed to you know
Cwam: what if i and airy say that youre supposed to be here?
Bassy: maybe,, maybe if many people say it enough times itll help
Cwam: i think everyone is glad youre here bassy

Chapter Text

Host circle stood. Like he always does. Like hes always supposed to. Hes were hes supposed to be, and that is calming.

Its a nice [time]. Nice light.

Just exactly amount of information that he was designed to intake
Others were happy like this too. Well. Other. Winner circle. And hes happy that hes happy.

They ended the congratulationaraly clapping, sinse the mp3 was only 1 hour long. Wich was nice that he didnt even need to be animated now, sinse that seemed like alot of work.

Cwam didnt seem happy each time he was abnormal. It made him feel like something was wrong and he lashed out, harshly. Well it made him feel more in control so...
Cwam wouldve said something about emotion control but host circle was mostly confused. He knew what those words meant, like all more words, probably ALL words in a dictionary but they seem distant. Never had achual reference for any. Just knows, somehow. Like maybe he was presumed to know all those things so now he does? The situation with Circle with that mole is still confusing.
"Do you know why he disappeared?"

The winner asked suddently. It suprised him so much, that,, well. Nothing changed outwardly ofcourse. Nothing should change. But by suprised look of winner it doesnt sound too good.
"No..well... Maybe he went too far of the screen so they despawned him? Or we were implied to kill him, but it wasnt animated."
"But it was clearly shown that we didnt catch up."
"Maybe then,, it was implied that he escaped."

"...i hope so"

And they still continued to stand idly.
The thoughts,, it doesnt feel as calm as the start, doesnt feel calming when they think. He doesnt feel like hes doing something like hes supposed to wich is the most grading feeling one could imagine, and he, just stays. Waits. If he waits long enough itll stop. But hes.... curious. He can stand still, and such but,,.
"Has my face mooved at all?"
"Yeah, like, tweening squish and stretch."
"At least,, the asset is the same."
Winner shifted, a little, like preparing to ask something daring.
"We dont have a show to keep up with roles anymore"
"What?.."
"i dont think there would be second season, host circle"
"I know that there won't, but isnt it enough?? To stand here and"
"Is it? Enough? We only had,, maximum of an hour to our screen time, spotlight"
Winner took host circles hand
"Don't be mad,,"
"I cant eliminate you anymore either its-"
Winner let go of the hand and stood back a little
" Oh yeah. Most of it was,, passive aggressive abuse of your position as host haha"
"..."
poker face on host circles face seems more palpable then usual
Its true that he cant settle anymore, not with thoughts just, plaguing his mind now. Ever since that abnormality showed up, or the thinking episode, he started to think that thinking was contagious, but object shows usualy dont go like this,,? But its not an object show so therefore,, hmm. He knows all about object shows, and what hes supposed to. But now thats its not, he really has no clue. Just vibes. General code from how he hosted. Well hes not near anyone he hates or any..
Presence. So he feels slightly less scared or pressured at the moment.
"Itd,, be okay if we continued to talk i guess. Sinse its, usual from the bfc, circles talk to each other right?"
Winner circle lighted up for a moment, changing to look happier then when he won the game. Well, no one but him looked so it was okay.
