00:00To be continued...
00:31Wait, what's this?
00:33Hello, my little rubber baby buggy bumpers!
00:36Today, I've decided to go to the store to get essential ingredients for my signature milk and cigarette casserole!
00:43I hope you can handle yourselves until I get back!
00:48Well, this was fun while it lasted...
00:51So, what's the adventure today?
00:54Oh, I don't have an adventure for you today, so you can do whatever you feel like!
00:58All right, sounds fine to me.
01:00You should ask me for suggestions on what to do instead.
01:03No.
01:04What should we do instead?
01:05No, Gangle!
01:06Sorry!
01:07Great question, Gangle!
01:08For an answer, let me consult the Chinese room!
01:13Okay, he had a bit prepared.
01:23Okay, why Chinese?
01:25Does this actually mean anything?
01:27It's a mystery what's behind that door!
01:29But I believe it's a fluent Chinese speaker who will give me advice!
01:34Can I just ask why?
01:35Like, what even is-
01:37You're only making the joke take longer!
01:44What does it say?
01:45I don't know!
01:46I don't understand Chinese!
01:49Hilarious.
01:50I don't know!
01:50Why don't you guys hang out at the Digital Lake?
01:52These locations have just kind of been there this whole time!
01:56Not sure why you never visit them!
01:58You should throw a...
02:00...f-freaking beach party!
02:02Good boy!
02:03Oh, that could be fun!
02:05Plus, there are some fun NPCs out there that none of you have even interacted with yet!
02:09I'm guessing they're not intelligent ones?
02:12They most certainly are not!
02:14Now, go have fun!
02:19Wow, what a good day!
02:21Wow!
02:24Alright, so who wants to try Kane's magical changing booth first?
02:28I guess...
02:29I'll give it a go?
02:32I'll give it a go!
02:35Wow!
02:35You look mediocre!
02:37If you ever need a sunburn, give me a call!
02:39I-I don't want a sunburn.
02:41Should've thought of that before I decided I hate you!
02:44Eh, don't interact with the sun.
02:46She's just like that.
02:54Gangle, wait.
03:06No!
03:07It's the sunburner.
03:08My eye!
03:08I'll get it.
03:16Hey there!
03:17If you want to find my sunken treasure chest, you'll have to try better than that.
03:29so i was just talking with my brother here and yeah you are definitely not getting our
03:34sunken treasure chest definitely not do i even want your treasure chest it's not like there's
03:40anything to spend money on i'm the one that tells lies dude you ruined it is that your treasure

04:38own body or something aren't you supposed to be causing trouble for everyone
04:45i've been starting to think that maybe the ability to change is fine
04:48not needing to commit to one thing all the time how about that

05:00good thing i don't have any problems then where are you going anywhere you losers won't yap my ear off
05:13hello there how's the shrimp mpc
05:26hello there how's the shrimp mpc
05:45you're welcome
05:56hello there well
05:58hello to my roommate
05:59hello
06:01hello
06:03hello
06:06hello
06:08hello
06:09hello
06:09hello
06:10hello
06:13hello
06:14hi
06:28I don't know.
06:55I don't know.
07:21I don't know.
07:52I don't know.
08:16I don't know.
08:37I don't know.
08:39I don't know.
08:48I don't know.
08:53I don't know.
08:56I don't know.
09:19That's why we came to you.
09:21We thought you might have a key to the Chinese room.
09:24The Chinese room?
09:26Yes.
09:27We're going to need a place to talk without Cain listening in on us.
09:29I have a working theory that Cain will commit to a bit no matter what.
09:33And if the bit is to not know what's in the Chinese room, he'll stick to it.
09:37Uh, I guess I'll check.
09:40I guess I'll check.
09:42These are all the keys I have where I don't know what they go to.
09:47Wait.
09:48Don't you want to come with us?
09:51This could be our one chance to finally leave all this behind.
09:57Ah, sure, why not.
10:02Where even is Cain?
10:03He might be suspicious of us even being here.
10:06He's probably in his office, planning adventures.
10:09How do we even know we can trust this guy?
10:12Has he done anything to prove he's human?
10:14I've been here longer than any of you.
10:17I, uh, helped create this place.
10:21I'll explain more when we're in the room.
10:23But for now, please just trust me.
10:25You will not regret it.
10:33Am I doing this wrong?
10:35None of these even fit in the keyhole.
10:38Has anybody even tried just...
10:40Oh, thank God.
10:45I...
10:46Okay, well, it's open.
10:47Let's just get inside before Cain sees us.
10:50I'll go get Kinger.
10:51We can fill him in later.
10:53I don't really know if I'm, uh, ready to face him again after what happened.
11:00Uh...
11:01We've both done things we're not proud of.
11:09All right.
11:11Convince me.
11:12I'm one of the original programmers of the Digital Circus.
11:15I was part of a team of experts employed by C&A to bring this place to life.
11:21Kinger was one of my co-workers.
11:22You know, back when he was still...
11:25You really think Kinger worked with him?
11:27Uh-oh, whoops.
11:29Sorry.
11:30I can see it.
11:32Uh, well, as production went on, the higher-ups at C&A started getting...
11:37Untrustworthy.
11:39They began forcibly hooking my fellow co-workers up to the computer
11:42in special stasis pods that would keep them alive and analyze their brains.
11:49Just...
11:49Awful stuff.
11:50I'm gonna shoot you down and say none of us are C&A employees.
11:54How would we have gotten hooked up to this big machine just by putting on a headset?
11:58That's what I wondered as well.
11:59But then, I remembered that C&A was planning on expanding development.
12:04Last I remember, I was asking too many questions.
12:07And then, poof, I was here.
12:10They're probably doing the same to anyone that stumbles into that office.
12:15Kane...
12:15is an AI.
12:17Yeah, I think we all got that.
12:19An AI specifically created to keep your minds active.
12:22But he's just as much of a prisoner as you are.
12:25One that, uh, won't be able to leave with us.
12:29Just get to the meet and tell us exactly how we're gonna leave if we're all hooked up to stasis
12:34pods.
12:34Uh, yes, yes, of course.
12:37So, I did some digging.
12:40And I discovered that the stasis pods and the virtual world are both run in the same program.
12:45So, theoretically, if we were to access the master console hidden deep within Kane's office,
12:52we could terminate it and forcibly awaken everyone who's hooked up.
12:56Well, obviously, except for Kane.
12:59How do we get into Kane's office?
13:01We'll need to steal the key from Kane.
13:03And we'll also need administrator privileges.
13:06I believe you're good at obtaining keys.
13:09Okay.
13:10You know what's gonna happen when we do all this?
13:12Kane's gonna pop out and say,
13:14Congratulations on beating the Escape the Circus adventure!
13:18And everything's gonna go back to the way it always was.
13:22I've been watching you.
13:24All of you.
13:25Every trial.
13:27Every moment of joy.
13:29Every...
13:30Abstraction.
13:32I wish I could have come to you sooner.
13:34But I didn't want to potentially ruin our only chance at escape
13:37by telling you before I knew exactly how we were gonna do it.
13:42I'm not a creation of Kane.
13:44I've suffered just as much as the rest of you.
13:47I know this all sounds... crazy.
13:50But if you follow me, you will see freedom.
13:54I'll also draw a face on myself,
13:56so you can tell me apart from any other blank NPCs.
14:02Oh, um...
14:03What should we call you?
14:05Do you have a name?
14:06I do.
14:08My name...
14:09is Abel.
14:16Like, is that the name you picked?
14:19Or...
14:20Yeah, I thought it would be cool.
14:22But anyway, first things first.
14:24We need to get that key.
14:30In order to get the key,
14:31you're going to need to isolate Kane.
14:34Try getting him alone.
14:35Someplace where he'll feel comfortable confiding in you.
14:38Hey Kane, you around?
14:39Hey, Jax.
14:40I didn't know you could ask if I was around like that.
14:43Good job.
14:44Uh...
14:45You want to get dinner together?
14:47Yes.
14:47A human wanting to hang out with me?
14:51How could I possibly turn down such an offer?
14:55So where you want to...
14:57Whoa!
14:58So, Jax.
14:59What you want to talk about, friendo?
15:03Uh...
15:03Hey, Jax!
15:04I wanted to ask you about the adventures.
15:05What do you think I should do
15:07to make them more appealing
15:08to the Zubal and the Pomni?
15:11I think that...
15:11We should figure out what to order first.
15:14Conversation can happen
15:14after we've loaded up on digital nutrients.
15:17Then you're going to want to ask him about his hobbies.
15:20Odds are he'll get so excited
15:22that you care about him,
15:23he'll freeze up,
15:24and you'll be able to grab the key
15:26from inside his mouth.
15:27Inside where?
15:28What are your thoughts
15:29on cedar-smoked salmon?
15:31I cedar-smoked salmon,
15:32but I hardly knowed her-smoked salmon!
15:34Ahahaha!
15:35Uh, do you have any secret hobbies?
15:41Secret hobbies?
15:43Yeah, like things you'd do on your own
15:45that you'd be interested in talking about.
15:50Why?
15:51I...
15:52I...
15:52I didn't think a human
15:54would ever want to ask me about my...
15:57This...
15:57is the most fantastical moment of my...
16:08Whatcha doing there, Jax?
16:11Have I ever told you
16:12how it's my dream to get eaten by you?
16:15That's a weird thing to say and want.
16:22Do you really believe it?
16:25I-I mean,
16:26everything he says?
16:27I...
16:29I just want to know
16:30what Kinger thinks of all this.
16:32Y-yeah!
16:33I-I was thinking the same thing.
16:36How much do you know about Kinger?
16:39Huh?
16:39Oh,
16:40I probably know about as much
16:42as everybody else,
16:43but he's also helped me
16:45through some of my hardest times here.
16:47Is it weird to say I...
16:49I trust him the most out of everybody?
16:52No,
16:52that's not weird at all.
16:54I had a similar experience,
16:56and...
16:57I think he might know more
16:58about this place than he lets on.
17:00Yeah,
17:01he has been here longer than anyone else.
17:04And I just...
17:05I don't know,
17:06I think it's kind of strange
17:07that Abel isn't interested in him at all.
17:10Like I said,
17:12things between us are complicated.
17:14I would love to be able to work
17:16alongside him again,
17:17and you're right
17:18to think he has knowledge
17:19about this place.
17:21It's just...
17:22I made a promise.
17:27What's going to happen
17:28to the people in the cellar?
17:30Like...
17:31Kofmo and...
17:32Ribbit?
17:34I don't know.
17:36But let's hope for the best,
17:38right?
17:40And here we are,
17:42the Administrator Zone.
17:59But like I was saying,
18:01this Macroverse place
18:02really intrigues me.
18:04And these photos are
18:05all I have of the location.
18:07I'm obsessed with them.
18:08I just wish I had more info
18:10on the location
18:11so I could accurately recreate it.
18:13Too bad they cut me off, right?
18:15Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
18:16Yeah, what a shame.
18:18So, what's your takeaway
18:19from all this?
18:20What?
18:21What's your takeaway
18:22from all this?
18:23Is it that I'm actually
18:24a cool guy
18:25with cool hobbies
18:26and not that much different
18:28from you beautiful humans?
18:31Uh, sure.
18:33Wowee!
18:34I'm so glad
18:35we understand each other
18:36a little more.
18:37I really am trying my best
18:39to make you guys happy
18:40and being appreciated
18:41for that just...
18:42makes me want to...
18:46...
18:46...
18:49...
18:49...
18:49...
18:49...
18:49...
18:49...
18:49...
18:50...
18:51How's that sound?
18:53Sounds good.
18:54Uh, this was a nice dinner
18:56and everything,
18:57but could I go back
18:58to the circus?
18:59The gals and I
19:00were going to do something
19:01which may or may not
19:02be a surprise
19:03for a special certain
19:04ringmaster
19:05we want to show
19:06our appreciation for.
19:07Yes!
19:08Say no more!
19:08Hup!
19:15How long is Jack's
19:16going to take?
19:17I feel like we've been
19:18standing here for hours.
19:22Should we tell
19:23Kinger
19:23what's happening?
19:25I feel bad
19:26not including him
19:27in any of this.
19:28We're supposed to
19:29follow Abel's instructions.
19:34It probably
19:35couldn't hurt
19:36to at least
19:37give him a warning
19:37though,
19:38just to get him
19:39into the right
19:40headspace.
19:43Oh my god!
19:44Oh!
19:45Hi Gangle!
19:45Hi Zubal!
19:46You startled me!
19:48So...
19:49we may have
19:50discovered something
19:51you'll want to
19:51hear about.
19:53Uh...
19:55It's...
19:55Uh...
19:56We found a way
19:56to leave the circus.
19:58We're currently
19:59preparing everything
20:00but we need to
20:01keep it quiet
20:02so Kane doesn't
20:03stop us.
20:04Uh...
20:05Yeah.
20:05What she said.
20:07Huh?
20:08Leave the circus?
20:09How would you...
20:11No, that doesn't
20:12make sense.
20:13We met up with
20:13Abel.
20:14He says he was
20:15one of the original
20:15programmers and
20:16he knows how to
20:17shut off the game
20:18and free us.
20:20Uh...
20:21Who?
20:24Uh...
20:24Ah!
20:26We'll continue
20:27this conversation
20:27later.
20:28Just thought
20:28I'd give you
20:29a heads up.
20:35I am never
20:36doing anything
20:36for you guys
20:37ever again.
20:38Where's Kane?
20:38Worry not,
20:39my dear damsel.
20:40I think I stopped
20:41him from checking
20:42up on us for a while.
20:43So no need
20:44for your distraction
20:44anymore.
20:45You're welcome.
20:46In other words,
20:47you just made us
20:48have to wait longer
20:48to do our job.
20:50Also,
20:51don't call me that.
20:51What's the rush?
20:52You got someone
20:53waiting for you
20:53outside?
20:55Don't you?
20:58Yeah.
21:07So, uh,
21:09how many
21:10administrator passes
21:11should I get?
21:12Six.
21:13Yeah,
21:14six.
21:15Are you sure?
21:17Giving Kinger
21:17access to the main
21:18console could be
21:19dangerous,
21:20considering his
21:21mental state.
21:23Will it be dark
21:24in there?
21:24I suppose it will be
21:27somewhat dim,
21:29but...
21:29Then yes.
21:30I want us all
21:31to have one.
21:32All right.
21:33If you say so.
21:35The dark.
21:37I think I get it now.
21:39Whatever happens,
21:41I'm going to put
21:42my trust in Kinger.
21:43He's got a lot of
21:44wisdom buried in there,
21:46doesn't he?
21:46Yeah.
21:47He does.
21:50Yeah,
21:50when he uses it
21:51responsibly.
21:52What?
21:53It's nothing.
21:54Let's go find the others.
21:56Hey,
21:57don't keep information
21:58from us if you
21:59know something.
22:00What happened
22:01between you and
22:01Kinger?
22:03It'll be clear
22:04soon enough.
22:09So,
22:10did you distract
22:11Cain?
22:11I took care of that.
22:13He thinks he took
22:14care of that,
22:14but we really have
22:15no way of knowing.
22:16Such little faith
22:17in me.
22:18Thank goodness.
22:19Oh,
22:19I wonder why.
22:20If this whole thing
22:21gets messed up
22:21because of you,
22:22I swear to God.
22:23Yeah,
22:24let's just all follow
22:25Mr. Obvious Twist
22:26villain instead.
22:27Now,
22:27wait,
22:27hold on.
22:28You think...
22:29Let's all just
22:30calm down
22:30and be a team here.
22:32Pomni's got
22:33administrator passes
22:34for everyone.
22:35We're all in this
22:36together.
22:51Why do they look like
22:52that?
23:01Wait,
23:01pardon me.
23:03Huh?
23:07Did you say something?
23:12We're going to have
23:13to trust that
23:13whatever Jax did
23:14will keep him
23:15distracted.
23:16I don't know how long
23:17we'll be able to hold
23:18these without
23:18Cain knowing.
23:19So,
23:20it's time.
23:21Let's go to
23:22Cain's office.
23:26Cain always did
23:28have trouble
23:28with cube collisions
23:29for some reason.
23:33All right.
23:35Just how we went
23:35over it.
23:36You first.
23:37Me?
23:38Why me?
23:39Jax?
23:41Everything's
23:41going to be okay.
23:45Ah,
23:46fine.
23:47Ball me up.
23:55Oh,
23:56like basketball.
23:58Oh,
24:20like basketball.
24:31I want Kinger to go before me.
24:33No, yeah, that makes sense.
24:35Now, Pony, don't feel like I need to go before you just because I have the right of way in
24:41a four-way uncontrolled intersection.
24:43Just trust me. You want to get somewhere dark?
24:46You can say that again.
24:54So, how are you getting up?
24:57I'm not, but I trust all of you to make the right choice.
25:01When we all get out, I'll buy you a beer.
25:06Make the right choice.
25:09Uh...
25:15I was getting kind of worried something was happening down there.
25:23Time for me to serve my purpose, I guess.
26:03Abel said the door to the main console was behind the bookshelf.
26:22Hey. You all right?
26:26I'm great.
26:33I guess this is it.
26:36We're leaving the circus.
27:06We're leaving the circus.
27:10Why wouldn't we be?
27:11It's just gonna be strange.
27:15I've only known you like this.
27:18Will it be the same when it's real?
27:22It always was real.
27:24Everything we felt, everything we've done, everything we are.
27:29It'll never leave us.
27:30And I wouldn't have it any other way.
27:35Thank you for always being there when I needed.
27:39It was just...
28:00Let's be where it came from and I did it.
28:09Uh, Kinger, do you want to make the choice?
28:12The choice of what?
28:13Uh, are you sure he's all the way here?
28:17Uh, hey, yeah, wait, don't we all want to press leave? Why leave it up to him?
28:23I, I, what if there's something we don't know? Maybe we should give it a little more time?
28:30Oh, yeah, I love pressing buttons. You, uh, want me to press one of those too?
28:35I, I don't know.
28:36Uh, am I missing something? We, we all want to leave, right?
28:40Uh, Pomby?
28:41Yeah, no, yeah, we do. It's, uh, just, what if it's a, a trick or something?
28:46Why would there be a trick console in Cain's office?
28:49Like, no matter what we press, Cain's gonna know we were here. We should push it.
28:53Uh, hold on. Let's just wait a second and go over everything we know and, uh, maybe we can vote
29:01on it or something?
29:25What did you just do?
29:27Uh, I, I...
29:40Congratulations, my little cattywampus cucumbers!
29:44You picked the good ending, where you realize you'd rather stay with me
29:49than go back to that pesky old macroverse, or whatever we decide to call it.
29:53I knew you'd make the right choice.
29:55You mean this was all...
29:57An adventure! Yes!
29:59And one I've been cooking up for a good long while!
30:04Great job playing your part, Able!
30:07Ha ha! All in a good day's work!
30:10By the way, you think I could get a raise after that performance?
30:13Ha ha ha! Oh, you're getting too smart. Time to delete!
30:17Ah!
30:20None of that was true.
30:22The CNA stuff, the pods, the way out?
30:26Fabrication of my incredible world-building skills!
30:29personal skills!
30:30I was right...
30:36I can't believe I was right!
30:40Ha ha ha ha!
30:45what would've happened if we picked the other button?
30:48oh, I didn't put too much thought into that one
30:50cause I knew you'd never pick it
30:51so I left that up to Bubble
30:53I made it take you to Shrimp Town
30:55yeah, it was gonna take you to Shrimp Town
31:07you dirty liar
31:08you scumbag
31:09You... you made me... you got in my head! You just... you just lie about everything, don't you?!
31:16I... uh... huh?
31:18You can mess with our minds, too, can't you? The stupid sauce, the vegan thing, God knows what else!
31:25Our names?
31:26No, no, hold on, guys! Wait, wait, wait!
31:28I may have the ability to add temporary modifiers to make adventures more interesting, but that's it!
31:35If I did anything more, trust me, it would not end well.
31:43Scratch... the first abstraction.
31:45Hey, hey, hey! I didn't say anything like that! Come on, guys! You know I'm just here to... have fun.
31:52I...
31:53Uh, questioning's over! Your prize is this lovely gift basket of soaps and lotions! Stay fragrant, have a good light!
31:59Fragrant night five!
32:22I'm not sure. I understand. I'm not sure about that, though.
32:22I know somewhere else, but then I will be happy.
32:22Yeah, I'm the only way of thinking about that!
32:23I'm sure you can do this!
32:23I don't know! I'm gonna go anywhere else!
32:23Go on, man!
32:23Oh, I'm gonna go anywhere.
32:25I'm gonna go anywhere else, too!
32:25I'm gonna go anywhere, too.
32:25I'm gonna go anywhere!
32:25Oh, I'm sure.
32:27I'm gonna go anywhere!
32:28I can't go anywhere!
32:31And I'm going anywhere else, and I don't know where you are.
32:33I can't go anywhere else!
33:03I'll see you next time.
