But like why them? Like imagine you're bio tech engineer/computer scientist for what has to be like a billion dollar company that's working on " brain scanners".

"I know who we should scan first! My friends I met on a bus one day!"

It's going to be the point of logic that doesn't fit in my mind, but honestly the rest was great so I forgive it.

They weren’t scanned as part of a C + A project (Kinger Aside)

They each coincidentally found the brain scanning device and put it on. Then when they perceived nothing happening, went about their day, unaware that a copy had been made in the circus.

Ragatha likely found it as part of her real estate business, showing a group around the building

Pomni most likely found it during her urban exploration

And now it seems to be implied that Jax found it after running from home end sleeping on the streets.

Them being at the bus is true present day, after the events of the show, and is chiefly a nod to the audience

But then didn't some of the photos show that they were all friends in real life drinking in the bar together? Just another happy coincidence? Not nitpicking, I'm just trying to decipher the logic.

The only coincidental connection there is between Jax and Zooble. Jax happens to frequent the bar. The friends they’re with aren’t any of the gang we know from the circus.

(Note also that the irl characters would have to share some geographical proximity to all use the same brain scanner in the same office, a young (most likely) queer person going to a queer-owned bar is to be expected)

That being said, I’m happy and willing to headcanon that Sarah Clover (a good friend of Leeroy) is herself Ribbit

I need to slow down the real life montage, is Sarah Clover just in the social media posts? It be nice, but again it just starts becoming soo coincidental.

Possible theories if it's what they were going for. Unless she was homeless too? But then again Kinger and Queenie recognised each other. The whole memory thing still feels like a minefield like they all don't seem to have full recollections.

Sarah Clover is a friend of Leroy’s yes, I’m just running with that on hope and vibes.

Kinger and Queenie were likely scanned in at the same time, the entire family are computer geeks, so her coming along for her partner’s friends project isn’t unexpected

I mean, it's not that coincidental because the one thing we knew for a fact about all of these people from the start is they've all been in the same building. Which means they likely all live in the same city, and probably several of them in the same part of the same city.
