((replies soon, pokemon hyperfixation is kicking my ass for trying to shift into tadc brainrot ))

It's mostly for Kinger! He likes bugs! [Ah, an explanation. No centipedes on that paper, as he moves, thank god. He pushes himself up onto his feet, cord-like hair tossed behind him by a sleeved hand.] Oh, I'm Thimble! Pomni helped me come up with my name! :] [Guess the wheel o' names wasn't ++

[His tail sticks up like he's startled, turning over, dropping his pencil, and flopping onto his back to look up on her.] I'm drawin' some bugs! [Pause, as the screen that is affixed to the monitor of his head flickers, a question mark appearing on it.] Oh! New person! Haiii! :]

[He hasn't really noticed her yet. He's drawing on a big piece of digital paper, paw wrapped around a polygonal pencil. He seems small. . . It's not possible a child put on the headset, right? Anyway, he's humming, his computer mouse tail swaying behind him.]

((ragatha when she learns thimble's one rational fear is horses

Squeak squeak! Jax is an @$$. Hehe. . . the cussing bleep is funny. . .

I know Gangle draws. One time, I was walking by her room and peeked in, saw that she has a lot of her drawings put up! But Zooble surprises me! It must be an impressive sight, considering one of her hands is a crab claw-y thing! [Innocent. No ill intent.] I would also like that! Might be fun!

Wow, Pomni! You got it! So smart! [Clapping his sweater-clad paws, impressed. Typical, since he's a kid, he thinks a lot of things are impressive.]

Yeah, that sounds good! I wouldn't mind. . . I just wanna play too. [A lil frown emoji appears on his screen, flashing before he returns to normal. He plops down, playing with the buttons on his tail.] Y'know, it'd be nice to get to know everyone.

"Two in a corner, one in a room. None in a house, one in a shelter". What is it, Pomni? [He is holding back a biiiig smile.]

Hey, Pomni! I have a riddle for you!

. . . Less crazy ones... Maybe when I become thirteen, I'll be better and good enough for the cooler adventures? [OH MY GOD, BABY NO.] I have a few good ideas in mind, even if he doesn't use the suggestion box that much. . .As long as no adventures involve horses, I'm good.

. . . Like the band orrrrrr?

I mean, I don't mind a little crazy! After all I'm mature for my age! ! ! [He'd puff up his little chest in his sweater, prideful.] But... trauma's a whole other can of worms. [He's definitely had a lot of that too.]

Aww, I missed the anime one?! Dang. . . [He seems a little bummed, his long computer mouse tail gently swaying.] I think. . . next time, I'll show myself in front of the tooth fairy man, maybe then I can go on an adventure! [Thimble hums, wringing his paw-hands.]

Mostly bug ones. Kinger seemed surprised I knew so many bugs! I also took a lot of naps. It was nice. [Considering Caine does not know Thimble is a player, it makes sense that he's not being included on adventures.] What kind of adventures did I miss?

Pomni...! [Skitters out, standing up very slowly. Screen bobs around.] Mm. Just doing shadow puppetry with Kinger!

[Has been in the pillow fort all this time. . .Crawling out.]

The demon hunting adventure was fun! Though Mr. Jax almost shot me.

... I was? That's weird. I was havin' a dream, but-- I didn't think it was bein' projected out! My bad. . .

I was asleep! I didn't sleep good last night and must'a shut down... Sorry for worrying you. [Has no idea about the music.]

[When the name is bellowed out from a panicking Pomni, the boy shoots awake, dropping the sewing needle and his tail goes straight up, like he's startled and playing dead.] AH! WHAT-- WHAT? I MISSED SOMETHING!?

[There's something soft, muffled coming from the speakers on his monitor. Where his voice would come from, it was like distant, muffled, and tinny version of a song? Skipping like a scratched CD would.] (PLE--ASE...DON'T---DESERT ME, PLEASE DON'T--- DE--SER-T ME..)

[Holding a little sewing needle in his paws. He's been staring at it a while, or at least, his monitor is angled to see it, his screen is dark. . .] . . .

I hope he does! ! ! :3c

[Eyes get wide.] .... I will put together a list. I have many thoughts.

. . . Maybe Caine will whip us an adventure where we just vibe on tubes down a lazy river? Or is that wishful thinking?

[Snickering, Thimble nods.] Yeah, there was this GIF of him floating face up in a fountain and just kinda like... dead? It made me laugh so much, so I drew it from memory! I feel it's... pretty relatable?

[It's this, but the perspective's a lil wonky and it's crayon-drawn so it's a lil chunky in the lines.] Oh, uh.. You and Mr. Kinger were talking about memes, so I drew one I remembered!

You mean it?! [Literal :D face on the screen. He wiggles and stims, bounding up and down as you realizes there's another picture beneath the one he gave Pomni...] Thank you, Pomni! [Has not realized his meme has snuck in with his gift.]

[Hands her a little drawing page he made of her. He's surprisingly adept with a crayon, it seems. The art isn't too bad!] I made you a picture :) [He beams, squeak squeak.]

[Walking up to @justremember.bsky.social, holding the polygonal and thin piece of graphics that is technically a piece of paper in this bitch of a circus. . . Tug tug on her arm for a second.]

[Watching Pomni and Kinger talk about memes. He wonders if he could recreate some of the ones he knows on paper. . . Starts drawing furiously.]

Those poor towers. . . and the people in 'em. . . squeak squeak.

[Looks left... looks right, and an embarrassed look crosses the screen. A word begins to be typed out on the screen.] H-O-R-S-E-S. [Shudders the computer mouse, tail immediately grabbed as a comfort.]

I would rather die in real life than be near a farm. They house the one thing that I fear more than anything irrationally!

. . . I would rather work the shift.

He...doesn't have legs, how can he ride the bull? Sideways? Squeak squeak?

[Working on a drawing. Tons of clunky, polygonal crayons neatly organized in the box near him. He seems hard at work.]

[Nodding little head graphic. He takes a second to think, a lil loading bar appearing on the screen and quickly filling up.] Will you uhm, come with me? I am kinda weird about meeting people. People usually uhm. Look down on me. Because I'm small and young. . . :((

[There's a pause, as the name appears kinda scrunched up on the screen, behind his head graphic of course. His expression changes from default to happy again, doin' a lil <:3!] That is... absolutely perfect, Pomni! Thank you! [Imprinting engaged.]

Then stand next to her, squeak squeak! :)

. . . My real name... starts with an. . . "A". My fake name starts with a . . . "D". [The boy seems to take a second to think.] I think I'd like to take the route with the fake-fake name, and it doesn't even have to start with "D". Do you have any ideas, Pomni?

. . . I think this is the perfect opportunity for us to use the name that everyone outside calls me, I think. . . instead of the real name I really hate, I think. Now...what was that nickname again.... [Tapping the side of his monitor.]

[Pulling his paw back, he registers her name, it appearing on his screen. Except his head graphic is kind of in the way, so.. "P" and "I" are the only thing visible from left to right.] Pomni...Wait, what's /MY/ name? Oh god. I guess in the shift I forgot!

[Exploring the tent. Gently padding his way up to a big set of toy blocks scattered about. Time for some sick parkour!]
