00:00Oh
00:13Is the adventure over already?
00:15No, the adventure hasn't even started yet. Oh, well, don't be a narc find your own hiding spot
00:20It's not that it's just that we haven't even seen Cain at all today. Plus Gangle was looking for you.
00:26Hi Zoobull
00:30Wait, what's this?
00:32Hello, my little rubber baby buggy bumpers today
00:35I've decided to go to the store to get essential ingredients for my signature milk and cigarette casserole
00:42I hope you can handle yourselves until I get back
00:47Well, this was fun while it lasted
00:49So what's the adventure today? Oh, I don't have an adventure for you today
00:55So you can do whatever you feel like all right sounds fine to me
00:58You should ask me for suggestions on what to do instead
01:01No
01:02What should we do instead?
01:04No, Gangle
01:04Wait, sorry
01:05Great question, Gangle
01:07For an answer, let me consult the Chinese room
01:12Okay, I had a bit prepared
01:17Okay, why Chinese? Does this actually mean anything?
01:25It's a mystery what's behind that door
01:28But I believe it's a fluent Chinese speaker who will give me advice
01:32Can I just ask why? Like, what even is-
01:36Shut! You're only making the joke take longer
01:43What does it say?
01:44I don't know, I don't understand Chinese
01:48Hilarious
01:48I don't know, why don't you guys hang out at the Digital Lake?
01:51These locations have just kinda been there this whole time
01:54Not sure why you never visit them
01:56You should throw a
01:59Freaking beach party
02:00Good boy
02:02Oh, that could be fun
02:04Plus, there are some fun NPCs out there that none of you have even interacted with yet
02:08I'm guessing they're not intelligent ones
02:10They most certainly are not
02:12Now, go have fun
02:17Wow, what a good day!
02:19Wow!
02:22Alright, so who wants to try Kane's magical changing booth first?
02:27I guess... I'll give it a go?
02:33Wow! You look mediocre!
02:35If you ever need a sunburn, give me a call!
02:37I-I don't want a sunburn
02:39Should've thought of that before I decided I hate you!
02:43Eh, don't interact with the sun
02:44She's just like that
02:53Gangle, wait
03:05Oh, my eye!
03:07I'll get it!
03:15Hey there!
03:16If you want to find my sunken treasure chest, you'll have to try better than that
03:28So, I was just talking with my brother here, and yeah, you are definitely not getting our sunken treasure chest
03:33Definitely not!
03:35Do I even want your treasure chest?
03:38It's not like there's anything to spend money on
03:40I'm the one that tells lies!
03:43Dude, you ruined it
03:45Is that your treasure?
03:47Dude, no! They took everything!
03:50That was my entire life savings, dude!
03:53Oh, my God!
03:55Oh, God!
03:56Oh, my God!
03:57I'm gonna be sick!
03:58I'm gonna be sick!
03:59That was everything!
04:00Oh, my God!
04:04Did you find it?
04:05Nah, somebody plundered it before I could
04:09What?
04:09What?
04:11Oh, wait! Your eye!
04:18What was that for?
04:19Oh, let me think
04:21There's that time you ran me over with a steamroller
04:24The time you pushed Gangl into a pool of piranhas
04:27When you set me on fire, mailed me a pipe bomb, threw me into an active volcano
04:33I could go on
04:34Aren't you supposed to be miserable about your ability to choose your own body or something?
04:38Aren't you supposed to be causing trouble for everyone?
04:43I've been starting to think that maybe the ability to change is fine
04:47Not needing to commit to one thing all the time
04:50How about that?
04:53And if I do still have problems, I talk about them with the people I trust
04:59Good thing I don't have any problems, then
05:01Where are you going?
05:03Anywhere you losers won't yap my ear off
05:12Hello there!
05:13How's the shrimp MPC?
05:25You're welcome!
05:28You're welcome!
05:53How you're welcome!
05:56How you're welcome?!
08:37Way to interrupt my nap.
08:40Can we talk?
08:43Your what?
08:45Yeah.
08:45He's not actually an NPC.
08:47He's a human.
08:49Like us.
08:51Yes, I know.
08:52Getting stuck with a blank mannequin body of all things.
08:55Kane completely overlooked me.
08:57But because of this, I was able to, uh...
09:01Well, I think I found the way to leave.
09:05Well, I think I found the way to leave.
09:05The way to leave?
09:06Yes.
09:07The way to leave the circus and get back to the real world.
09:11Yes, but please keep it discreet.
09:13If Kane catches on, I doubt he'll ever let us get this far again.
09:17That's why we came to you.
09:19We thought you might have a key to the Chinese room.
09:23The Chinese room?
09:25Yes.
09:25We're gonna need a place to talk without Kane listening in on us.
09:28I have a working theory that Kane will commit to a bit no matter what.
09:32And if the bit is to not know what's in the Chinese room, he'll stick to it.
09:36Uh, I guess I'll check.
09:41These are all the keys I have where I don't know what they go to.
09:46Wait.
09:47Don't you want to come with us?
09:49This could be our one chance to finally leave all this behind.
09:56Sure, why not.
10:00Where even is Kane?
10:02He might be suspicious of us even being here.
10:05He's probably in his office, planning adventures.
10:08How do we even know we can trust this guy?
10:10Has he done anything to prove he's human?
10:13I've been here longer than any of you.
10:16I, uh, helped create this place.
10:20I'll explain more when we're in the room.
10:22But for now, please just trust me.
10:24You will not regret it.
10:32Am I doing this wrong?
10:34None of these even fit in the keyhole.
10:37Has anybody even tried just...
10:39Oh, thank God.
10:44I...
10:45Okay, well, it's open.
10:46Let's just get inside before Kane sees us.
10:48I'll go get Kinger.
10:50We can fill him in later.
10:52I don't really know if I'm, uh, ready to face him again after what happened.
10:59Uh...
10:59We've both done things we're not proud of.
11:08All right.
11:09Convince me.
11:11I'm one of the original programmers of the Digital Circus.
11:14I was part of a team of experts employed by C&A to bring this place to life.
11:19Kinger was one of my co-workers.
11:21You know, back when he was... still...
11:24You really think Kinger worked with him?
11:27Uh-oh.
11:27Whoops.
11:28Sorry.
11:29I can see it.
11:30Uh, well.
11:31As production went on, the higher-ups at C&A started getting...
11:36untrustworthy.
11:37They began forcibly hooking my fellow co-workers up to the computer
11:41in special stasis pods that would keep them alive and analyze their brains.
11:47Just...
11:48awful stuff.
11:49I'm gonna shoot you down and say none of us are C&A employees.
11:52How would we have gotten hooked up to this big machine just by putting on a headset?
11:56That's what I wondered as well.
11:58But then, I remembered that C&A was planning on expanding development.
12:03Last I remember, I was asking too many questions.
12:06And then, poof!
12:07I was here.
12:09They're probably doing the same to anyone that stumbles into that office.
12:13Kane...
12:14is an AI.
12:16Yeah, I think we all got that.
12:17An AI specifically created to keep your minds active.
12:21But he's just as much of a prisoner as you are.
12:24One that...
12:25uh...
12:26won't be able to leave with us.
12:27Just get to the meet and tell us exactly how we're gonna leave if we're all hooked up to stasis
12:32pods.
12:33Uh...
12:34Yes.
12:34Yes.
12:34Of course.
12:36So...
12:37I did some digging.
12:38And I discovered that the stasis pods and the virtual world are both run in the same program.
12:44So, theoretically, if we were to access the master console hidden deep within Kane's office, we could terminate it and
12:52forcibly awaken everyone who's hooked up.
12:54Well, obviously, except for Kane.
12:58How do we get into Kane's office?
13:00We'll need to steal the key from Kane, and we'll also need administrator privileges.
13:05I believe you're good at obtaining keys.
13:07Okay.
13:08You know what's gonna happen when we do all this?
13:10Kane's gonna pop out and say,
13:12Congratulations on beating the Escape the Circus adventure, and everything's gonna go back to the way it always was.
13:21I've been watching you.
13:23All of you.
13:24Every trial.
13:26Every moment of joy.
13:28Every...
13:29Abstraction.
13:30I wish I could have come to you sooner, but I didn't want to potentially ruin our only chance at
13:36escape by telling you before I knew exactly how we were gonna do it.
13:40I'm not a creation of Kane.
13:43I've suffered just as much as the rest of you.
13:45I know this all sounds crazy, but if you follow me, you will see freedom.
13:53I'll also draw a face on myself, so you can tell me apart from any other blank NPCs.
14:01Oh, um, what should we call you? Do you have a name?
14:05I do.
14:06My name is Abel.
14:15Like, is that the name you picked? Or...
14:18Yeah, I thought it would be cool.
14:21But anyway, first things first.
14:23We need to get that key.
14:29In order to get the key, you're going to need to isolate Kane.
14:33Try getting him alone.
14:34Someplace where he'll feel comfortable confiding in you.
14:36Hey, Kane, you around?
14:38Hey, Jax, I didn't know you could ask if I was around like that. Good job.
14:43Uh, you want to get dinner together?
14:46Yes, a human wanting to hang out with me?
14:50How could I possibly turn down such an offer?
14:53So where you want to...
14:55Whoa!
14:57So, Jax, what you want to talk about, friendo?
15:01Uh...
15:02Wait, Jax!
15:03I wanted to ask you about the adventures.
15:05What do you think I should do to make them more appealing to the Zubal and the Pomni?
15:09I think that...
15:10We should figure out what to order first.
15:12Conversation can happen after we've loaded up on digital nutrients.
15:16Then you're going to want to ask him about his hobbies.
15:19Odds are he'll get so excited that you care about him.
15:22He'll freeze up, and you'll be able to grab the key from inside his mouth.
15:26Inside where?
15:27What are your thoughts on cedar-smoked salmon?
15:30I cedar-smoked salmon, but I hardly knowed her-smoked salmon!
15:33Ha ha ha ha!
15:33Ha ha ha ha ha!
15:34Uh, do you have any secret hobbies?
15:40Secret hobbies?
15:41Yeah, like things you'd do on your own that you'd be... interested in... talking about.
15:49Why...
15:50I...
15:51I didn't think a human would ever want to ask me about my...
15:55This...
15:56Is the most phantasmical moment of my...
16:06Whatcha doing there, Jax?
16:09Have I ever told you how it's my dream to get eaten by you?
16:14That's a weird thing to say and want.
16:21Do you really believe it?
16:23I mean, everything he says?
16:26I...
16:28I just want to know what Kanger thinks of all this.
16:31Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
16:35How much do you know about Kanger?
16:38Huh?
16:38Oh, I probably know about as much as everybody else, but he's also helped me through some of my hardest
16:45times here.
16:46Is it weird to say I... I trust him the most out of everybody?
16:50No, that's not weird at all.
16:53I had a similar experience, and I think he might know more about this place than he lets on.
16:59Yeah, he has been here longer than anyone else, and I just... I don't know, I think it's kind of
17:05strange that Abel isn't interested in him at all.
17:09Like I said, I would love to be able to work alongside him again, and you're right to think he
17:18has knowledge about this place.
17:19It's just... I made a promise.
17:26What's going to happen to the people in the cellar? Like... Kofmo and... Ribbit?
17:33I don't know.
17:35But let's hope for the best, right?
17:39And here we are. The Administrator Zone.
17:58But like I was saying, this Macroverse place really intrigues me, and these photos are all I have of the
18:05location.
18:05I'm obsessed with them. I... I just wish I had more info on the location so I could accurately recreate
18:11it.
18:12Too bad they cut me off, right?
18:14Uh, yeah. What a shame.
18:17So, what's your takeaway from all this?
18:19What?
18:20What's your takeaway from all this?
18:22Is it that I'm actually a cool guy with cool hobbies and not that much different from you beautiful humans?
18:30Uh, sure.
18:31Wow-wee! I'm so glad we understand each other a little more.
18:36I really am trying my best to make you guys happy, and being appreciated for that just makes me want
18:43to...
18:47Celebrate by giving you guys anything you ask for! How's that sound?
18:52Sounds good.
18:53Uh, this was a nice dinner and everything, but could I go back to the circus?
18:57I guess the gals and I were gonna do something which may or may not be a surprise for a
19:02special certain ring, Master, we want to show our appreciation for...
19:06Gasp! Say no more!
19:07Hup!
19:14How long is Jack's gonna take? I feel like we've been standing here for hours.
19:20Should we tell Kinger what's happening? I feel bad not including him in any of this.
19:27We're supposed to follow Abel's instructions.
19:33It probably couldn't hurt to at least give him a warning, though, just to get him into the right headspace.
19:42Oh my god!
19:43Oh! Hi, Gangle! Hi, Zubal! You startled me!
19:54We found a way to leave the circus. We're currently preparing everything, but we need to keep it quiet so
20:01Cain doesn't stop us.
20:03Uh, yeah. What she said.
20:05Huh? Leave the circus? How would you... No, that doesn't make sense.
20:11We met up with Abel. He says he was one of the original programmers, and he knows how to shut
20:16off the game and free us.
20:19Uh... Who?
20:22Uh... Uh...
20:23Ah!
20:24We'll continue this conversation later. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.
20:33I am never doing anything for you guys ever again.
20:36Where's Cain?
20:37Worry not, my dear damsel. I think I stopped him from checking up on us for a while. So no
20:42need for your distraction anymore. You're welcome.
20:45In other words, you just made us have to wait longer to do our job. Also, don't call me that.
20:50What's the rush? You got someone waiting for you outside?
20:54Don't you?
20:56Yeah.
21:06So, uh... How many administrator passes should I get?
21:11Six.
21:12Yeah, six.
21:14Are you sure?
21:15Giving Kinger access to the main console could be dangerous, considering his... mental state.
21:22Will it be dark in there?
21:23I... suppose... it will be... somewhat dim, but...
21:28Then yes. I want us all to have one.
21:31Alright. If you say so.
21:34The... dark... I think I get it now.
21:38Whatever happens, I'm going to put my trust in Kinger.
21:42He's got a lot of wisdom buried in there, doesn't he?
21:45Yeah.
21:46He does.
21:48Yeah, when he uses it responsibly.
21:51What?
21:51It's nothing. Let's go find the others.
21:55Hey.
21:55Don't keep information from us if you know something.
21:58What happened between you and Kinger?
22:02It'll be clear soon enough.
22:08So, did you distract Cain?
22:10I took care of that.
22:11He thinks he took care of that, but we really have no way of knowing.
22:15Such little faith in me. Goodness.
22:17Oh, I wonder why.
22:19If this whole thing gets messed up because of you, I swear to God.
22:22Yeah. Let's just all follow Mr. Obvious Twist villain instead.
22:26Now, wait. Hold on. You think...
22:27Let's all just calm down and be a team here.
22:31Pomni's got administrator passes for everyone.
22:34We're all in this together.
22:50Why do they look like that?
22:59Wait. Pardon me.
23:02Huh?
23:06Did you... say something?
23:11We're going to have to trust that whatever Jax did will keep him distracted.
23:14I don't know how long we'll be able to hold these without Cain knowing.
23:17So, it's time.
23:20Let's go to Cain's office.
23:25Cain always did have trouble with cube collisions, for some reason.
23:32All right. Just how we went over it.
23:35You first.
23:36Me? Why me?
23:37Jax?
23:40Everything's going to be okay.
23:44Ugh, fine.
23:46Ball me up.
23:54Oh! Like basketball.
23:56Oh!
24:30I want Kinga to go before me.
24:32No, yeah, that makes sense.
24:34Now, Pony, don't feel like I need to go before you just because I have the right of way in
24:40a four-way uncontrolled intersection.
24:42Just trust me. You want to get somewhere dark?
24:45You can say that again.
24:53So, how are you getting up?
24:55I'm not, but I trust all of you to make the right choice.
25:00When we all get out, I'll buy you a beer.
25:05Make the right choice.
25:08Uh...
25:14I was getting kind of worried something was happening down there.
25:22Time for me to serve my purpose, I guess.
25:29Do it.
25:30Do it.
25:32Do it.
25:43Do it.
25:47Do it.
25:50Do it.
26:01Abel said the door to the main console was behind the bookshelf.
26:21Hey.
26:23You alright?
26:25I'm... Grey.
26:31I guess this is it.
26:35We're... leaving the circus.
27:03We're still gonna be friends when we're...
27:06out there.
27:08Why wouldn't we be?
27:10It's just... gonna be strange.
27:13I've only known you like this.
27:16Will it be the same when it's... real?
27:20It always was real.
27:22Everything we felt, everything we've done, everything we are.
27:27It'll never leave us.
27:29And I wouldn't have it any other way.
