Kinger won the vote! Maybe I'll write for Gangle next?

Pomni stares blankly at the assortment of bugs scattered across the table. "What exactly are we doing?"

Kinger jumps with a yelp, startled by Pomni's sudden appearance. "Oh, Pomni! When did you get here?"

"I've been here the whole time," she mutters, a bit annoyed at the chess piece. "Why are we looking at bugs?"

"Did you want to see my insect collection?" He asked, holding up an ant for her to see.

Pomni cringed away from the bug. "Uhh, not really."

"Ah. Well, let me know if you change your mind." He puts down the ant in exchange for a ladybug. "Did you know ladybugs have two wings? Their bottom wings are hidden under their top wings- or elytra."

Pomni wasn't listening. She was too busy questioning everything that brought her here. Originally, Kinger had asked for her help with cooking. Which was odd enough by itself, since they didn't need to cook. Instead of a kitchen, he took her to a table full of bugs. Then he completely forgot about her. Maybe she should ask Caine if he could do something about Kinger's memory.

Pomni groaned. It's no use. Didn't Caine say something about not being able to control their minds? They'd probably all end up like Kinger one day.

If they didn't abstract first that is.

The jester was shaken from her spiraling thoughts by another yelp. She looks around, wondering what had startled Kinger this time. Nothing looked out of the ordinary... Wait-

Was that giggling?

Pomni spun back around, surprised to see the source of the giggling was coming from Kinger himself. "Huh? What's so funny?" She asked, not knowing what to do.

Kinger didn't respond. He was frantically wiggling and reaching for something on his back.

"Kinger? Are you alright?" The little jester was growing more worried by the second. Did their oldest member finally lose what little sanity he had left? She was about to get Caine, but stopped when she saw a beetle crawl from his robe onto his neck. "O-oh!" She gasped, gently picking the beetle from the chess piece.

Kinger sighs in relief, fixing his rumpled robe. Glancing up, he noticed the bug in Pomni's hand. "Ah! I was looking for that beetle everywhere! Where did you find it?" He tilts his head, looking curious.

"I- I saw it on your neck. Or- Whatever it is you have... Was it tickling you?"

"Tickling? What do you mean?" He noticed the beetle again. "A beetle! Did you know there are 350,000 known spices of beetles? That one you're holding is called a jewel beetle." He explains as he took the beetle from her.

Pomni felt her eye twitching, but now she was curious. She waits for the bug expert to put the beetle safely on the table before delivering some pokes to his side.

Kinger squeaks, jumping away from her hand. "Huh?! What was that?!" He looks this way and that, trying to find what poked him. "Pomni, I think I'm starting to lose my mind!"

Pomni had to stifle her laughter. "I think you've already lost your mind," she said, shaking her head.

Kinger stares at her. His eyes blinked one at a time, almost like a frog.

"When did you get there?"
