[00:00] ♪♪ by the Favorite Character Awards!

[00:15] Stay tuned and find out who will claim the ultimate prize! [inaudible chatter] Can you toss that back up here?

[00:29] -[Zooble]: Oh, shut up. I think I overheard him talking to Bubble and I'm not gonna be part of it.

[00:42] -And... you're just gonna hang out in a flower pot all day? -[Zooble]: Caine's been checking up on my room lately. When I don't answer, he just starts singing "Daisy Bell"

[00:54] -Does he really do that? -[Zooble]: You [BOINK!] [BANG!]hole! -[Zooble]: [BOINK!] you! -Ah, there you are!

[01:08] -[Zooble]: [grunts] -And I'm glad I found you. [overlapping voices] TEAM adventure! let's say 5.7 minutes.

[01:24] You didn't even ask him about the singing thing. -Today's adventure is... gonna be a bit of a short one, But it'll be a perfect opportunity

[01:40] -This is so heavy. -That's right, Bubble. really got me thinking. But with cool new sports

[01:54] -Uh, we could also just play softball normally this time. -In the Caine Leagues, we have the 400 Meter Vertical Skedaddle,

[02:06] Lateral Hijinks, Orange Sport, Run Walk, and Ball Ball! I'm not gonna be on a team with that one. -[blows kiss]

[02:21] I never know what you want! -Yeah, Zooble and I constantly say -Did you really not like my softball one?

[02:35] -The suggestion box just causes interpersonal drama. You really wanna know what I want? -Oh, no. -No way.

[02:50] Are we FINALLY having this conversation? ♪♪

[03:02] -[Zooble]: Do you have any of that stupid sauce left? How teamwork is essential to making the dream work! -You are in a mood today, aren't you?

[03:18] It makes an "ass" -[Zooble]: "Ming"? -Did Caine just say [BOINK]?"

[03:30] what your assumptions have done to my reputation. -Whatever the case, it's evident now So, maybe what we actually need to do are trust exercises!

[03:47] -Don't worry -- this will be a two-way trust exercise, [snap!] [shwing!]

[03:59] where nobody can see or hear you once inside. -Character A will take the gun into the private room then come out and give it to Character B.

[04:15] and shoot themselves in the head, Character A will also have to trust so everyone is incentivized to follow the rules

[04:30] -[Zooble]: Sounds a little convoluted. -[Zooble]: Wh-- Him?! [rewound audio warbling]

[04:46] -[yelps] Here, have guns. I don't care anymore. "Here's guns, and have fun"?

[05:00] -[Zooble]: It's just a little aimless. We're bringing teams back. Last team surviving is the winner.

[05:13] -Well, that's not my problem right now. so you guys are gonna have to handle yourselves for a bit. Once that's up, it's a free-for-all.

[05:30] I'm... actually gonna be on a team with Zooble. We've been together for every team adventure in the past. -[grumbles]

[05:46] -Uh, oh! I-I'd love to, but -- Well, uh, I really don't want Kinger to get stuck with Jax. Well, I-I could be on Kinger's team.

[06:00] -U-Uh... Hmm. -Oh. Um. Y-yeah. I'll be on Jax's team.

[06:14] -[stammers] probably good to keep Kinger and Jax separate. I can keep Jax in check, so don't worry about me.

[06:30] -U-Uh, hey, Pomni? o-or need help with anything, I'm here.

[06:43] You have a partner yet? You sure you can handle me in all my glory? -Hey, Zooble?

[06:59] -[Zooble]: Huh? -I... don't really trust myself that much with it. really want to be able to fire a tommy gun

[07:13] and I don't -- I don't want to break it -[Zooble]: I'll keep it safe for you. [clock ticking]

[07:31] That counted? Oh, y-yeah, the guns have been teleported Go find 'em, champs.

[08:38] -[Kinger]: It's a butterfly! It can restore your health. -[Kinger]: Oh, nah. What?

[08:54] [door creaks] -Uh, I-I don't know if I'll really be doing much of the killing. and you can do all the violent stuff.

[09:09] -You know none of this is real, right? Like, the circus? so what's the point in taking this moral high ground?

[09:24] I don't really want to hurt them. -Alright, let me be real here. -Uh, about not hurting my friends?

[09:37] One day, you're somebody in the real world And then, the next, you're just a weird little cartoon... that still thinks it's part of that world,

[09:54] Ragatha tries to be all nice and friendly, Whether we like it or not, all we are now is a bunch of cartoon characters.

[10:07] So what's the point of pretending we're not? -I thought we were at first, but as time goes on, Become part of the machine.

[10:21] The villain? -[scoffs] I see how far I can push things, You wanna know why?

[10:33] I do everything 'cause it's funny! -"The funny one"? -Yeah! Kinger's the crazy one,

[10:46] and you are the one who hasn't figured that out yet. I at least have the self-awareness to choose who I am.

[10:58] No better chance than now to try something new. You wanna finally work off those weeks of rage and anguish I know you hate it here.

[11:13] But the silver lining is you can pretty much do whatever you want. Just let loose!

[11:26] [sighs] Oh, what the heck. How's that? -Heh, go for it!

[14:00] -I don't really know. If we can't find the tommy gun, will this work?

[14:15] -Uh, yeah. Jax... -[Zooble]: I wouldn't worry about him right now.

[14:28] -It's Jax, though. And he's gonna make it painful, and -- when he's not even here.

[14:42] You're not his toy. -It sometimes doesn't feel that way.

[18:51] -[scoffs] Jax does! and Pomni probably won't after today, either. She came to me wanting to be on my team.

[19:04] [sighs] Why did I do that? It sounds to me like you put a lot of pressure on yourself you beat yourself up for it.
