ok so the new trailer for episode 3 just dropped. big hype. here are some theory's, notes, and observations.
also I took a lot of screenshots...
anyway here we go.
so the adventure is set to be "The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor". Now, I do think that Caine is gonna be the quest giver this time, sending the gang to find something inside the spooky, probably haunted manor.
small guess is that they gotta find Matilda, one of the ghosts haunting the manor, and trap her in a vacuum. idk why, it's literally just a hunch.
Jax also takes a moment to harass Pomni with a vacuum, which just makes me think of Luigi's Mansion.
anyway, the gang (minus Zooble) are gonna go in the manor and try to find whatever they're looking for, and either by agreement or random set of events, the gang is gonna split up, Pomni and Kinger being paired up. I don't really know if Ragatha, Gangle, and Jax stick together or not, as they're not really shown much in the trailer.
I am inclined to believe it is a set of events that separates the gang tho.
it's the one of the reasons I can think of that'd make Pomni climb on the door like that.
I mean... outside of the very spooky decorum.....
which Pomni has a pretty reasonable reaction to
btw, I fucking love Pomni's cartoon physics with the squash and stretch rubber-hose animation. it's so expressive and fun to watch.
anyway, it seems Caine is determined to have Zooble go on adventures. so he literally sits them down and tries to therapize them.
though with Caine being an AI with very little knowledge of how the human mind works, this goes predictably horribly.
I imagine Zooble tries on some level to convey to Caine the ludicrousness of their situation. stuck in a digital world getting repeatedly traumatized by meaningless adventures that seem to do more harm than good. though I get the feeling Caine would miss the point, leading Zooble to correct him, and/or get upset at him for not understanding. watching this verbal fight happen between these 2 will probably lead to us, the viewer, understanding more about Zooble.
anyway, back to the manor with this cute little guy.
look at him, he's so cute and squishable. unfortunately this guy is the only cute and squishable NPC here because Pomni and Kinger seems to really be going through it.
they're mostly poking around, opening drawers and stuff. maybe they're looking for a key to get back with the others or something? who knows.
they both probably stumble around in the dark for a bit, both figuratively and literally.
they might end up stumbling into an antagonist NPC, which is the only way I can explain some of these screenshots.
it looks to me like Kinger is facing something. I mean, He's missing an eye in the first one, smacking something with a gun in the second, and looking really worried in the third. Plus the fist 2 have similar lighting so I'm inclined to believe those 2 pics come from clips in close time frames to each other.
there's also another image that has similar lighting...
now... this may sound weird, but I think that either Pomni got Possessed somehow, or something tried to take her shape. Possession seems more feasible since we know at least 2 of the NPC's in this adventure are ghosts, and at least in media ghosts are known to possess people. seeing as digital circus seems to love pulling from video game mechanics, this wouldn't surprise me at all.
this would also kind of explain why in the "POMNI WAKE UP!! IT'S TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE" video, in the "Kinger with a shotgun" clip, he seems to be hitting Pomni with the gun. it makes a lot more sense if Pomni ends up getting possessed somehow, forcing Kinger to hit her in order to defend himself from the ghost.
this also could tie back to the worried look on Kingers face in the screenshot before Possessed Pomni. Cause he'd know what he has to do, even though he doesn't want to hurt Pomni.
Hell, I'm pretty sure Kinger even openly protects Pomni in this episode.
because of the shot in the trailer taken from this hole's perspective
not only is Pomni hiding behind Kinger, but he has one of his hands out in front of her, as if to protect her from whatever is in that hole.
also in regards to guns, Kinger isn't the only one who gets to have a gun.
Pomni gets to wield a shotgun too, and it's likely to help both herself and Kinger fight off whatever was after them in the hole.
Ghost possession and gun-slinging aside, I do think that Pomni and Kinger have a little heart to heart in this episode.
boy doesn't that screenshot look familiar. reminds me of episode 2 with the blue lighting and concerned expression on Pomni's face. That scene in the test room where Pomni comforts Gumigoo. this time tho, she's comforting Kinger. it almost makes me wonder if this will be a reoccurring theme, with all the other characters eventually having a heart to heart with Pomni, and Pomni comforting them.
it'd really make her live up to her quote in episode 2 "I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. I don't want anyone to feel like that".
the only thing I do still have questions about, is wtf is Kinger looking at here?
I mean, it looks like the eyes of a ghost, if they could make their eyes glow like that.
ya know what, maybe he's looking at a mound of pillows or something.
yeah, like that.

They make this fandom so insufferable to be in sometimes
All these vile, nasty comments over a fun hc?? An innocent little "what if" scenario OP made?? Based on the source material of the book, too.
Also, it's hardly a character bash when OP was just stating canon facts?? The fact that these bullies took it that way speaks volumes about their own insecurities. Accusing op of being loveless as well is just an all time low.
This shit is why I left Wangxian. The fact so many jumped on this post, liked it, and all had something nasty to say just says a lot about that side of the fandom.
This is also what we mean when we call JC antis bullies. Because this person knowingly entered a JC fan's space, took screenshots of a harmless Twitter prompt and shared it in their friendship circle to shit all over their work and insult the OP personally too. Disgusting behaviour. And to think most JC antis on here and Twitter seem to condone this!
And no, I won't allow them the dignity of having their names blurred. They didn't do it to the person in the ss, so I won't do it with them 🤷♀️ We out bullies here, folks. Just don't send the people in the screenshots hate. We don't stoop to their level. We're better than them. Just block and steer clear. What a vile bunch they are.

drawing of this post by @e-clv bc i keep a screenshot of it in my "favourites" iphone photo album and it makes me laugh every time
image description in alt and under the cut, along with ref picture
reference picture/screenshot of original post:
[image number one shows a photo of a drawing in a notebook. the drawing, done in marker, is of gerard way with a microphone cord in his mouth and his head tipped back, showing his throat. the word "faggot" is written on the side of his neck in black. he is wearing a black collared shirt, waistcoat and suit jacket with a diagonally striped black and white tie and his tongue is sticking out slightly, implying that he's licking the mic cord. his skin is pale and his hair is black, though not much of it can be seen. in black all-caps letters at the bottom of the page, it reads "HAS GERARD EVER OPENLY DISCUSSED HIS SEXUALITY??" with two question marks. my signature, "tactical spider" is written in blue pen along his shoulder]
[image number two shows a screenshot of an image post on tumblr dot com. the picture is exactly the same as the drawing i just described, except it is a photo, so it doesn't look like a drawing. the photo appears to have been found on google, and is linked to an article or post of some kind with the aforementioned question about gerard's sexuality, written in all lowercase but with the same amount of question marks, as a headline. below the image in the tumblr post, which has a black background with purple writing, is written "Contender for the funniest google image juxtaposition." the post has 21199 notes, and my phone, when i took thr screenshot, was on 16 percent battery. end id]
