Gently scoops her up and brings her inside for a nap. "For lil ol' me? You shouldn't have."

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

She squints. "...it makes way more sense to think of us as clones than anything else. And THAT'S weird." She just sighs and tosses the pillow across the room. "Ugh. Just forget it. This whole conversation is stupid."

"if you have to ask, you'll never know." Unhelpful.

Her "thank you" is barely audible through the pillow. She takes a minute to cool down, physically and emotionally. "It's just," she finally sighs, "how are you so chill? How are you this normal about..." She gestures at both of them wildly. "...THIS??"

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Juni grabs a pillow off the couch and buries her face in it before groaning in anguish. "Uuuuugh, you're NOT helping!!"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"oh yeah..." She runs her hand down her face. God, how embarrassing. "Sorry, 'm just... Touch starved, I guess. That was NOT normal." She's mortified.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Juni stares at a fixed point on the ceiling for another ten seconds or so. She's so red you could probably use her to pop popcorn. Then she seems to snap out of it. "...I blacked out, where am I."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"waitwaitwait, lemme try!" Juni takes the mic and inhales dramatically. ".......balls." She then starts playing the ragtime tune again, only much more cursed.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

This fries Juni's brain. There's smoke coming off her now. Hope you're happy. "....😶"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

She puts her hands up defensively. "Okay okay! I just said there was no doubt, sheesh!" Pause. "Uh... You're my favorite Jax too. Just for the record."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"oh." She takes that way too seriously for a couple seconds. Then she remembers to smile. "Hah! Like there was ever any doubt."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"huh." She presses a pedal down at random and starts playing a fast showtune. Every note sounds like a duck quack. "Oh wow. That sucks."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"....You know other Jaxes?" 😠

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Juni blinks twice. Then bursts into laughter. "Hey relax, I'm not gonna bite ya!" It takes way too long for her to stop laughing. She offers Ragatha a hand up, grinning like an idiot.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

"out of..." She looks around. "...Two, I think."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Juni blushes deep red at the kiss. She can actually feel herself start to overheat. She looks at the ragdoll with stars in her eyes. She's had a long time to bury her feelings for Ragatha. She's more used to annoyance, bitterness, and envy. But if Ragatha can change, maybe Juni can, too.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Juni can't help but crack a smile as Ragatha joins in. She's a lot better at this than Juni, but she doesn't really care. "Listen, I... Tend to OVERREACT when people say they like me. It's a feeling I'm still getting used to... But if it makes you feel better I uh..." Her voice trails off.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Juniper doesn't know what to say either, but she knows she fucked up royally and hurt Ragatha's feelings. She sits down on the bench next to her and plays something quiet and melodic. As usual, she's improvising. "So... I guess I really messed up, huh?"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Juni doesn't interrupt her. She waits. And listens. It takes a few minutes before it's quiet enough to Juni to say anything. She contemplates just leaving maybe 400 times during those few minutes. But she stays. "....You're really good."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

@pushover-plushie.bsky.social Juniper dares to leave her room. It's been hours at this point, but she still looks haggard. ...where is that spooky music coming from?

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

"...see you around, Rags." Juni walks. Then runs. Then SPRINTS back to her room where she can break down in peace. "What the fuck just happened. What the FUCK JUST HAPPENED??" She paces, trying her best to not pass out. She can't have this. She's not allowed. She'll only hurt Ragatha more.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Juni is stunned. "I-I..." She almost says something genuine. Ragatha can see how close she is to breaking through. Then Juni grins at her. "Pshh! Wow, I didn't take you for a chaser, Raggy! Gee, you think you know a gal." She pivots on her heels and struts away like nothing happened.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Ragatha can see Juni start to panic in real time. She runs her hands through her hair, her eyes darting around nervously. "It's not that simple, Rags! You can't just change your name and become a different person! I'm still me! I'll always be... ...Bad." She sighs. "...You deserve better."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Juni's teasing smile disappears. "... Don't be stupid. I literally tortured you for years, I'm not... Y-YOU can't..." She's doing so much mental gymnastics to avoid having this conversation right now, oh my god. "........I thought you were straight?"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

"...That sounds pretty gay Ragdoll, you'd better be careful. There's lots of innocent girls around here that might get the wrong idea~!" She's fully missing everything Ragatha is saying to her despite her complete lack of subtlety.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

"skeeve? It's like creep? Or freak?" She wiggles her fingers as if that helps the explanation. "Like, it grosses you out?"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

She quirks up an eyebrow at Ragatha's reaction. "Damn, does the idea of dating me really skeeve you out that much? Way to commit to the bit."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

"wh- That's a crazy prank, Ragatha! You got me, I'll admit it. I was NOT familiar with your game-!" She's in denial.

111

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Juni slumps back down in her seat like the kiss makes physical contact with her body. She doesn't say anything. She just watches Ragatha go. Poor Juni. Such a useless lesbian.

010

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Juni looks down at her like there's a completely different person where Ragatha was just sitting. Between the voice and the black dress, she almost seems... "D-don't mention it!!! Just go enjoy your dumb arts and crafts thing, or whatever!!" ////// Oh boy.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

"see? Easy." Juni stands up and stretches, like her job here is done. "Uh... Lemme know if you want help trying out stuff, I guess. I'll try pretty much anything once." She shrugs. She's trying really hard not to show how relieved she feels for Ragatha. That would be cringe.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Juni is a bit less annoyed, but only a bit. "NOW you're getting it." She scratches the back of her head. "I'm not exactly an expert on self-care. I still barely tolerate me. But uh... Maybe start with finding out what you like. That's pretty easy, right?"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Part of Juni really does understand that, it's just that every other part wants to chuck her out a window right now. "Hey, I get it. I'm probably the last chick you should ever listen to when she gives you advice. But uh... I don't think the rest of the gang wants you to feel that way."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Juni's head snaps around. "DON'T say that to me. If I'M not a lost cause, out of everyone here, you sure as hell don't get to be one." She seethes for another couple seconds before taking a long breath. "Ghh... Why is this so hard for you to get? Do I really need to spell everything out for you?"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

"Pfft. I didn't realize you were trying to be subtle. The way you're always doting on everyone, doing chores just to look productive... You're SUCH a people pleaser." She almost smiles. "...But that's a survival skill. Are you really gonna spend the rest of eternity in here just... SURVIVING?"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Juni puts up a hand, silencing her. "Listen, I came here to apologize to you, not the other way around. I know I took it too far, but..." She flinches, like it takes effort for her to say the words. "I only did all that because I don't like the way you treat yourself. So... Sorry."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Juni watches her from afar for a while. She has absolutely no idea what to say. She's angry, and guilty, and sad, and she feels absolutely terrible for Ragatha on top of all of that. Juni knows how hard it is to feel like you're nothing. She wanders over and sits next to Ragatha, saying nothing.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

// the TONAL WHIPLASH I GOT READING THIS

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

She just sighs. "Look, I'm not trying to be the bad guy here, but I think you need to hear this: Nobody WANTS your help. You put yourself last because you think it'll make people like you, but in the end it just makes you look lonely, and desperate." There's a pause. "...Get a hobby, I dunno."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Lilly mirrors that look right back at her. "...you know that nobody's asking you to do any of this crap, right?" She devours the other half of her pancake. "Like, breakfast is nice once in a while, but... I saw you moving furniture the other day. Like, why try so hard, y'know?"

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Juni looks like she finally relaxes a bit. "See? How hard was that?" She picks up a pancake with her hands and takes a huge bite out of it. "You know we literally can't go hungry in here, right? So quit freaking out about it." She waves the half-pancake around in Ragatha's face.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Juni just raises an eyebrow at her. "I dunno, you tell me." The plate she made Juni is completely untouched. She wasn't kidding about not eating. She gives Ragatha a shit-eating grin. "Hurry up. They're getting cold."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Juni sniffles. A tear falls from her eye and sizzles against Ragatha's skin. "Good. I'll hold you to it." She squeezes her tighter. Then finally lets go. "Just don't take too long... It's so much more boring when you're not around." She tries to laugh, but it comes out more like a hiccup.

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Juni looks over her shoulder. There's a glimmer of genuine concern underneath all that playful antagonism. She just sighs and turns back around, slumping over the countertop, defeated. "Fine, have it your way."

111

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

"joooooniper. Juneeeeeeeper. JunipAAAAAAR. Jnpr."

000

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Juni's eye twitches. "I'm TRYING to do you a favor, you dope! But sure, go ahead, trample all over my hospitality why don't you." She spins the other way in her stool dramatically. "I'm not eating til you eat. And I'll tell everyone else to do the same thing. So there."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

"Ragatha I swear, I will force-feed you these pancakes." She points threateningly. She'll bully Ragatha into self-care if she has to. She's not above it. "The only burden you're putting on me right now is on my NERVES."

110

J U N I 🔥 @circusbun.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Juni presses back into her, their foreheads touching. Her whole body feels like it's vibrating, like she might jump out of her skin. She doesn't care. "Please come back. Maybe it's selfish, but... You never got to know the real me."
