Chapter Text
The pilot starts off with a landscape scene, depicted in a Nintendo 64-like style. "THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS" logo appears. The camera zooms in towards, and eventually entering, a large tent in the background as the graphics of the scene increase in quality.
The scene switches to a dark room with curtains as the back wall, soon lit up and lights move around as Caine, a humanoid in a ringmaster outfit with a head consisting of a pair of eyeballs inside a pair of jaws, twirls and pops out of thin air, introduces himself, after a small wait.
Caine: "Welcome to The Amazing Digital Circus! My name is Caine. I'm your ringmaster and I'm here to show you the most jaw-dropping, heart stopping, mind-bending paraphernalia you've ever laid your eyes upon!"
Caine pulls Bubble from his hat.
He makes another hat appear with a snap of his fingers. Suddenly, D.A.V.E pops out of the hat like a max and the box and the hat appears on his head.
Caine: "Isn't that right, Bubble and D.A.V.E?"
Bubble: "That's right, Caine! I can't wait to see what you've got cooking up for today."
D.A.V.E: "Took the words right out of my mouth, Bubble! I can't wait to hear how excited everyone is today!"
Bubble and D.A.V.E smile as they are talking.
Caine: "Well, let's not waste any time! Let's get right into the show!"
He moves away from the show curtain, as the curtain starts to unravel. D.A.V.E takes a bow as he disappears.
Theme song plays as the main cast of characters are revealed.
🎶 Gangle, and Zooble, and Kinger too! 🎶
Gangle, a humanoid made of ribbons with a comedy mask for a face waves at the audience, Zooble, a humanoid made of mix-and-match toy parts justs stands there, arms crossed, and Kinger, a white king chess piece, ducks into a pillow fortress.
🎶 Ragatha, Jax, and there's Kaufmo, woo-hoo! 🎶
Ragatha, a ragdoll girl waves, Jax, a purple anthropomorphic rabbit is laying on his side, and he winks at the audience, and it ends on a cardboard cutout of a clown, which falls over. On-screen: "Disclaimer: Kaufmo the Clown did not show up today."
🎶Day after day after- Day after- Day after day we fly 🎶
The video loops multiple times.
🎶 Past the moon and the sun and we don't know whyyyy! 🎶
A jester character suddenly appears as objects fly through the air.
???: "W-w-where?"
She walks around, almost getting hit by a flying eyeball. She spots an exit and runs towards it, only for the exit to dissolve and disappear. A hat zooms past. A big flower falls and glitches into the ground GMOD-style, frightening her. She knocks over Jax, causing Kinger, and subsequently Gangle to fall over too, breaking Gangle's comedy mask, (which leaves a tragedy mask in its' place), while the theme song slows down and stops.
The jester backs down, while the others stand up. Ragatha and Zooble show up, peering at the jester, who is very confused from where she now is.
Jax: "Caine, is this one of your NPCs or is this a new sucker? 'Cause if it's a new character, we're gonna have to redo this whole theme song."
He looks and sounds bothered by the possibility of redoing their theme song.
Zooble: "I'm not doing that again."
Jax looks at Zooble, and looks dramatic or confused.
Caine: "My my, it appears a new human has entered this realm!"
He moves his cane around to point at the jester, before pointing in the air.
D.A.V.E: "Oh dear, The human appearS to be overwhelmed."
The jester struggles to take the weird headset off, clawing at her head as though she is trying to remove something from it.
???: "How do I... take this... headset off!?"
She is struggling, as her eyes appear to be scribbles at the moment
Jax: "Just keep grabbing at it. That worked for all of us."
The jester attempts to pull the headset off but, not realizing that it doesn't work, pulls at her eyes and mouth instead. When she gives up, her eyes and mouth fly back into position, making her head wobble.
???: "What's... going on? I-I-I put on some weird headset.. and now I'm...here?"
Her eyes widen.
The jester looks around in confusion.
???: "Who are you people? Why can't I take it off? WHERE AM I?"
Ragatha suddenly interrupts the jester from speaking any further.
Ragatha: "Let's just try to calm down. Everything's gonna be ok, new stuff. We've all been through this. You just need to get your head to—"
Eyes minimize as she got interrupted.
The jester interrupts Ragatha.
???: "WHAT THE Censorbarboing IS GOING ON?!...what—"
She looks down at her hand, and her mouth, questioning what has just transpired.
D.A.V.E: "Ah! Profanity!"
Caine: "Now now now, my dear! We can't have any of that foul language around here. The Amazing Digital Circus is a place to be enjoyed by all ages. You, my friend, stumbled into an incredible world of wonders, where anything can happen!...e-except for swearing."
The first thing the jester did was to try out every swear word she can think of, after hearing that information to see if he was bluffing.
???: "Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, Censorbarboing, . . Oh, my god.
D.A.V.E —> Insert shocked Pikachu Face here.
???: "Well, h-how do I, you know.. leave?"
She looks up at Caine and D.A.V.E.
The two paused in the middle of explaining.
Caine and D.A.V.E: "Uh-"
Ragatha: "W-Well don't freak out about it or anything, but uh, we.. don't exactly—"
Jax interrupts Ragatha, as going in front of the jester.
Jax: "You can't."
???: "What?"
Eyes minimize as she's looking at Jax, in worried confusion.
Zooble: "Shut up, Jax. But yeah, he's right. Welcome to your new home, and your new body."
Their claw points down to the jesters feet.
???: "N-n-new home"? What do you mean?"
Her eyes dart around.
Ragatha: "Guys, don't be mean."
Jax: "We've been stuck here for years! Old Kinger over there's supposedly been here the longest."
Kinger peeks out of his pillow fort that he had made.
Kinger: "Huh, did somebody say something about an insect collection?"
his eyes widen in excitement.
D.A.V.E: "Sorry Kinger, no one did yet."
Kinger: "Oh..."
Jax: "That's why he's craaazy. (chuckles while doing a cuckoo finger twirl) Eh."
The jester starts panting and the pupils of her eyes turn into scribbles, but she calms down.
???: "Oh, okay, now I get it! (laughs) This is a dream! And I should just play along until I wake up, right?"
The camera turns to the characters, saying nothing, standing in ways, proofing it's not a dream and all real.
Jax: "..Whatever you say, kid."
The camera cuts off to Gangle, crying because her comedy mask was broken earlier.
Gangle: "They broke my comedy mask..."
She continues sobbing.
Jax: "So, Caine, we havin' a new adventure today for the newbie or what?"
Whilst saying this, Jax walks over one of the halves of Gangle's broken mask, breaking it more.
Gangle She sobs even more in response. D.A.V.E. then pats her on the back in attempts to comfort her.
D.A.V.E: "There, There Gangle. Here, have a toy for comfort."
He summons a toy bear and gives it to her. She calms down and hugs it.
Gangle: "Th-thank you..."
D.A.V.E: "You're very welcome! It's my duty to make sure everyone is calm and not overwhelmed."
Caine: "I'd like to give our brand-new member a tour of the circus grounds first. Come now D.A.V.E!"
D.A.V.E: "Right Behind ya Dad."
???: "Uh-"
Caine: "Off we go!"
Caine, D.A.V.E, and the jester warp to the outside of The Tent.
Caine: "Here we have THE TENT! This is where your living quarters are, as well as other sorts of activities! These activities may include-"
Caine's eyes glitch out, and take on the texture of a Windows XP/Vista/7 BSoD screen. A dial up sound starts playing. D.A.V.E blinks with a bright smile on his face.
The glitching stops.
Caine:"-ball pits, mini golf, and more!"
The three warp to the rest of the island. The camera moves so that all the island- where everything mostly takes place- is visible.
Caine: "And here we have THE GROUNDS! Drown yourself in the digital lake, or engage in ridery at the digital carnival!"
D.A.V.E: "If in the event you are ever stress, Head over to 'Paradise Cover.' Where you can decompress any form of stress and relax your mental stimuli... except for sexual content, graphic violence, or anything that brings up bad memories or triggers anxiety."
Caine: "Night, day, it's all okay! The choice is yours, a cosmic buffet!"
???: "Uh, is... that all there is?"
Caine: "Of course not!"
The three warp further, going to a endless plane of white squares with varying sizes
Caine: "This is the void!"
As that is said, the camera moves further back, making Caine's voice softer. It goes back to normal shortly after.
Caine: "We... don't venture out into the void."
Caine (In a soft spooky voice): "Not even I know what's out there..."
Intense silence overcomes.
D.A.V.E: "Just be careful not to say the word 'Void.'"
Just then, a echo of "Void" radiates out within The Void
D.A.V.E: "Like that."
???: "Uhh...That's-"
Before the jester could say anything, the three go back to the grounds.
Caine: "We stay right here, where I can keep my (dramatic voice) HUNDREDS OF ALL-SEEING EYES ON YOU!"
Another short-span intense silence, as eyeballs- presumably the ones Caine mentioned- appear behind the three.
D.A.V.E: "If they ever disturb you, just know that they are meant to keep you safe and away from dangerous hazards that may fall upon you."
He says, his smile still on as the Jester glances between him and Caine.
Moon: "Hello, Caine. I love you."
Caine: (shocked) "Aahhh! Let's get outta here before the Moon gets frisky!"
The camera cuts off to an red exit door seen in the grounds.
???: "Wait, what's that-"
Caine, again, warps them to The Tent. The jester vomits black liquid on the floor.
Caine: "Woah, clean up on aisle you!"
D.A.V.E: "Oh deer. I may have forgotten about that..."
In the background, a deer can be seen galloping.
Bubble appears from D.A.V.E's hat.
Bubble: "I'm on it, Boss!"
Bubble proceeds to continuously lick the vomit while Caine and D.A.V.E seem disturbed.
D.A.V.E & Caine: "...Why are you like this...?"
The jester returns to her consciousness.
???: "Wait, wait. Was that an exit door I saw out there? Is that a way to leave?"
Jax: "What exit?"
Jax takes off Zooble's arm and uses it as a back-scratcher.
Jax: "If there was a way to leave, I'm pretty sure we'd have all left by now."
Zooble controls the arm and chokes Jax while talking. Jax then falls to the floor.
Zooble: "Yeah, what are you talking about?"
D.A.V.E: "Miss Zooble, can you let go of Mister Jax please? I know it can be tempting to do that, but I can't allow any harm to befallen upon anyone."
Zooble rolls her eyes and reluctantly let's go.
Zooble: "Fine. You're lucky you are cute."
D.A.V.E's eyes flash a pair of Pink Hearts in his eyes as he cups his face, as if flustered. He then grabs Zooble's arm and reattaches it on her.
The camera cuts off to Caine and still watching Bubble lick the vomit.
D.A.V.E: (whispered tone) "uhm, Father?"
Caine blinks for a moment.
Caine: "Uh-uh-I- (clears throat) I assure you there is no "magical exit door." You're probably just experiencing DIGITAL HALLUCINATIONS! From your mind's transition to the digital plane."
D.A.V.E: "He is right. I don't think I ever saw any "Magical Exit doors." Here on the grounds."
???: "But, I-I swear I saw-"
Caine: (fast) "DIGITAL HALLUCINATIONS!!!"
D.A.V.E suddenly stiffens, like a cat being scared by a loud sudden noise. His eyes flash an exclamation point before turning normal.
Caine looks like he's stressing out. The jester looks suspicious at Caine while he doesn't look at her.
D.A.V.E: "Calm down Dad. How about we focus on something else?"
Caine then flies up.
Caine: "...How about we talk about something else? Like your name!"
???: "My name? My name is uhh... AAHH! OH, GOD! WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER MY NAME!?"
D.A.V.E: "Ah... Right... That effect..."
Caine: "Nobody can remember their name once they enter the Digital Circus! One of the few things I don't have control over are your minds! So all I can help you with is coming up with a new one!"
The jester's eyes go abstract, again
???: "Ugh...what's my name...?"
D.A.V.E: "Don't worry Miss Jester. We'll give you a name that won't warp your mind."
Caine: "My son's right! Don't you worry your little head. Your new name can be anything!..."
Caine: "HerebyacknowledgingthatyourchosennameornamesmaynotbreachtheDigitalCircusUserLicenseAgreementstatingthatyournamemaynotincludeobjectionablecontent.Objectionablecontentincludes-butisnotlimitedto-sexuallyexplicitmaterial,obscene,defamatory,libelous,slanderous,violent,and/orunlawfulcontentorprofanity."
He says it very quickly, as if it were a commercial warning.
Caine: (normal) "What are you thinkin'?"
???: "Huh? I... don't care, just pick anything."
Caine: Let's see!
A slot machine of letters falls down and rolls.
Caine: "What do you think of "XDDCC"?"
He Stammered.
Xddcc: "I don't-"
Caine: "You're right, terrible. Let's try that again!"
The slot machine of letters rolls again.
Caine: "What do you think of POMNI?"
D.A.V.E: "I like it! Easy to say without fizzing out."
Pomni: "Huh? Uhh, sure.. I think I just-"
Caine: "Gadzooks, you're right, Jax! We should have a brand new adventure for our new member, Pomni!"
Jax: (distant) "I said that, like, 5 minutes ago."
D.A.V.E: "I can confirm. He did say that in exactly 5 minutes and 59 seconds."
Caine points to Pomni.
Caine: "You! Do you like adventure? Activity? (keeps talking faster) Wonder? Danger? Horror? Pain?Suffering?Agony?Death?Disease?Death?' Angel food cake?"
Bubble appears and eats the angel food cake Caine had pulled out as he said that line. Caine looks at his hands and then at Bubble with slight anger and confusion.
Caine: "YOU PARASITE!!!"
He pops Bubble.
Pomni: "Uh- I don't really-"
Caine: "Since you're new around here, we're gonna make it a simple, in-house, adventure to warm you up to how things work around here."
Zooble: "What? No, god! I don't want an in-house adventure!"
Caine: "Don't worry, Zooble. I'll make it something unobtrusive that you can still choose to not get involved with!"
Caine: "Today's adventure is... Gather the Gloinks!"
Caine laughs maniacally. He is cut off as he starts saying the next lines.
Caine: "That's right! The entire circus tent will be infested with Gloinks, and you gotta catch 'em all!"
Bubble: "But what are they?"
Caine: "I'm glad You asked, Bubble, they're small-"
Bubble: "And what do they do?"
Caine: "They-"
Bubble: "And how do they-"
Caine pops Bubble again, so he doesn't interrupt him anymore.
Caine: "Gloinks are small mischievous critters that steal anything and everything they run into! Why do these humanoid hash-browns do this? How do you stop them? That's for you to find out. D.A.V.E will keep watch over you all on your adventure. Now, good luck, and have fun, my little superstars!"
Caine disappears. After this, Pomni stares in front of bed while the screen slowly zooms in on her. Her left eye twitches. She then turns to the others, along with the screen.
Pomni: "...What did any of that mean?"
Ragatha: "Oh, that's just one of Caine's little adventures. They're just... something fun to do to, you know, prevent us from going insane."
She lets out a nervous chuckle.
D.A.V.E: "We haven't fully introduced yet. My sincere apologies Pomni."
He flys down and stands next to Pomni, his body being tall and Thin.
D.A.V.E: "I am D.A.V.E. It's short for Digital Abstraction & Visualization Engine. But around here, you can just call me D.A.V.E. I am here to help everyone with their mental stimulation. You (boops Pomni on the nose) Are new here. Therefore, this adventure is easy and simple to follow. My old man's adventures help keep you entertained."
Zooble: (sighs) "Speak for yourself. If anyone needs me, then Censorbarboing off."
Zooble pulls the middle finger, which is also censored as she attempts to walk away.
Gloinks appear and steal Zooble's body parts.
Zooble: "Oh God, oh jeez, NO!"
The Gloinks take Zooble off-screen, making their voice softer.
Zooble: "OH GOD! SOMEBODY HELP!"
Gangle gasps in fear and Jax begins to be sarcastic, showing no emotion for Zooble.
D.A.V.E: "Adventure Update. "Gather the Gloinks and Rescue Zooble!" Let's go everyone!"
With that, D.A.V.E dashes off in a cartoon style running.
Jax: "Oh no, they killed Zooble. Anyway, you guys wanna go get something to eat?"
Ragatha: "...Oh wait, we should go check on Kaufmo! I'm pretty sure he'd like to meet Pomni!"
The Gloinks steal Kinger's "Impenetrable Fortress", which was his aforementioned pillow fort.
Kinger: "MY IMPENETRABLE FORTRESS!"
Just as D.A.V.E makes it half way, he looks back to see everyone still standing there. He brakes his foot work and flys back to the others.
Ragatha: "You wanna come with us to check on Kaufmo?"
Kinger: "No, not really. I think Kaufmo's gone insane. Last time I spoke with him, he was rambling endlessly about some exit. Kind of like you, Pomni! You might be going insane too."
Pomni: "BUT WAIT! Wouldn't that more likely mean the exit DOES exist?"
Jax: "Could also mean that you just have a jumpstart on losing your mind?"
Gangle speaks from far away, making her voice softer.
Gangle: "Wait! What about Zooble!?"
Pomni: "Well, I think I'd like to ask him about it, IF this was real, which it isn't, because it's a dream."
Jax: "Heh, she still thinks this is a dream."
Jax stares in front of him, possibly at the camera. The camera zooms out, showing him looking in Ragatha's position.
Ragatha: (Realizes Jax is looking her position) "Uhh... why are you looking at me like that?"
Jax: I'm fine with doing whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people.
.A gloink smacks Jax.
Jax: "Ow! Okay, I've already had enough of these things. (sighs) You, me, and Pomni will go check on Kaufmo, which leaves crybaby (Gangle), hoo-ha (Kinger) and ShowClown (D.A.V.E) together to go handle the Zooble situation."
Ragatha: "Haha, do you think pairing them up together is a good idea?"
Jax: "Of course I do. They're the two most mentally stable and capable characters to be paired together."
As Jax is saying this, Kinger starts to shake violently, as Gangle gets a bit scared of this. D.A.V.E then puts a lamp shad over Kinger's head which helps him calm down.
Jax: "Come on, ladies, let's go harass the clown."
Pomni and Ragatha follow Jax. D.A.V.E waves at them.
D.A.V.E: "Have fun with whatever you're doing! We meet back at the tent exactly 14 minutes! Be careful!"
D.A.V.E smiles brightly, completely unaware of what the three (Pomni, Jax, and Ragatha) are doing.
Gangle: "My comedy mask is broken again..."
Kinger reacts late.
Kinger: "GAH! Oh, Gangle. You startled me."
D.A.V.E: "Here, let me see."
D.A.V.E grabs Gangle's Comedy mask and puts the two pieces together like a puzzle. He then glued the two together.
D.A.V.E: "Here you go!"
He hands it to Gangle who takes it.
Gangle: "Thanks, Dave."
D.A.V.E: "You are most welcome Gangle. Come on now, let's go help Zooble."
He floats away as the two follow him.
——
Ragatha: "So, this is where we all live. Or well, where we all sleep at night. Even though we don't really need to sleep. It's sometimes nice to kinda take a break from everything and have a bit of routine, y'know? I'm sure there will be one for... Oh, look you already have one!"
Pomni stares at the door with the same facial expression.
Pomni: "I... still don't understand.. about the adventures. Why even go on them at all? Why not try to find a way to leave?"
Ragatha: "Well, we usually do, when we first arrive, but after a while you start to realize that you really can't leave and constantly chasing an unattainable goal will start driving you a bit crazy. (Starts to go insane herself, as she's talking about what happens when you go insane in the circus) And eventually you get to asking what the point of anything is and you completely lose sight of who you are and why you're even alive and when you reach your breaking point, something really terrible can happen. (Looks around then pulls herself together) Ah, but that's not something we need to deal with today. Above anything else, the adventures give us something to do that keeps our minds healthy and stimulated."
Ragatha rings Kaufmo's doorbell.
Jax: "Thank goodness this is all a dream, right, Pomni?"
Pomni has abstracted eyes, again. Jax tries to wake up Pomni.
Pomni: (gasp) "Why are we here again? What are we doing?"
Ragatha: "We're getting one of our friends."
Ragatha rings the doorbell, but there's no response.
Ragatha: "Huh, maybe he's not in his room? I hope he's alright. Dave was caring enough to check on him, along with everyone else."
Jax: "Don't worry dollface, I've got a key to his room."
He reveals key and spins it and walks towards Kaufmo's room.
Ragatha: "Wha, wait, wh-why?! You-you-you shouldn't have keys to anyone's room!"
Jax: "Nah, I've got keys everywhere, and you've all been fine. By the way, I may have left something in your room today, so let me know if you find it. You're not afraid of centipedes, are ya?"
Ragatha: "JAX! That's literally my only fear, why would you do this?!"
Jax: "What? It could be a completely unrelated question. You'll never know until it's too late."
Jax opens the door to Kaufmo's room.
To their surprise, they see writing everywhere, messed up pictures and a abstracted black glitchy creature with realistic creepy eyes- they are Kaufmo, who has well been abstracted.
Jax: "Oh, I've been looking for this. Thanks for keeping an eye on it, Kaufy. I'm gonna head out, see ya."
Jax picks up a sort-of-bowling ball item.
Ragatha: "Oh, Kaufmo's.. been abstracted! That-- that's okay."
Pomni: "What is that?"
Ragatha: "It.. might be that terrible thing I was talking about earlier, when you reach your breaking point?!"
Pomni: "H-huh?"
Ragatha: "Okay, wait! Maybe there's still time to fix him before we get Caine or Dave!"
Abstracted Kaufmo approaches Ragatha and gets out of his room. While Ragatha is stuck, Pomni tries to escape.
Ragatha: "Whoa! Kaufmo, Listen! I know we didn't always get along, like when you called me out for fake laughing at your jokes! I swear, I really did think they were funny, I was just having a bit of a bad daaaaAAAYYYYY!"
Abstracted Kaufmo grabs and drags Ragatha, interrupting her.
Abstracted Kaufmo hits Ragatha on the walls, floor and ceiling multiple times, and now Ragatha is glitched.
Ragatha: "ⓗ𝑒𝔂, ƤØм𝐍Ɨ? ץØย 𝐓𝓱Ɨ𝐍Ⓚ 𝔂Øย ĆØยᒪ𝓭 卩𝑒я𝓱𝐚卩丂 𝓱𝑒ᒪ卩 м𝑒 Øย𝐓 𝓱𝑒я𝑒¿ Ꭵ ย𝐍𝓭𝑒я丂𝐓𝐚𝐍𝓭... Ɨⓕ 𝔂Øย 𝓭Ø𝐍𝐓.. 𝔀𝐚𝐍𝐓 𝐓Ø... 𝐓𝓱Øย𝕘𝓱"
Pomni tries to help Ragatha, but her hand is now glitched.
Pomni: "Ow!"
Pomni: "I'm sorry! "
With that, she runs away in fear.
Abstracted Kaufmo chases Pomni but fails and breaks a fence, with Pomni successfully avoiding Kaufmo
Pomni groans and exclaims softly as she runs back down the hallway towards Ragatha.
——
Zooble screams in the hole.
Kinger: "I don't know what I'm looking at here."
Gangle: "We saw a Gloink carry one of Zooble's pieces down there, remember?"
Kinger: "Oh, yeah. Thank you for the recap."
Zooble is still screaming inside the hole.
Kinger: "...Boy, we're not very good at this, are we?"
D.A.V.E: "Oh come on you two! Isn't this fun? Going on adventures, fighting off baddies, exploring new places, and so much more!"
Dave said in attempt to brighten them up. But not much luck.
Jax is seen running.
Jax: "Ugh.. Sup, fellas?"
Kinger: "JAX! We found the Zooble hole."
Jax: "Cool."
D.A.V.E: "How's Kaufmo doing? I forgot to check on him due to the whole, new member shenanigans."
Gangle: "I hope he's not still mad at me for not laughing at his jokes."
Jax: "Oh, he's doing great. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen him this happy before."
Kinger: "Well, it's good to know he hasn't completely lost his mind."
Kaufmo growls in the distance and Jax looks at it.
Jax: "He actually asked me to give you this."
He throws the bowling ball at Kinger which knocks him inside, followed by Gangle.
Jax: "Come on Davey, it'll be fun."
D.A.V.E: "Fun?!"
Jax jumping inside the hole. D.A.V.E does a running up and back flips into the hole in a cartoon style.
D.A.V.E: "Wee!!"
The scene cuts off with a long red slide with Kinger, Gangle, and Jax with it. followed by a sign with Caine in the middle saying "RADICAL". Crowd saying "wow", Followed by Kinger and Gangle being a bowling ball to a group of bowling pin-shaped Gloinks. Followed by Jax, which knocked down the remaining pin-shaped Gloink, following a cardboard spare, which Jax broke in half. Suddenly, D.A.V.E then flies in and does a series of poses in a video-game-style-pose-bonus-points style before landing roughly on the ground. Kinger and Gangle roll out on the floor, causing Gangle's comedy mask to be broken again. The two look up to see the Gloink Queen eating a table. She burps out of her other mouth at her tail.
Kinger: "An insect collection?"
Gangle: "I think it's a nest."
Gangle and Kinger look at each other.
D.A.V.E: "WOW WASEN'T THAT FUN!?"
He said, unintentionally yelling.
Kinger: "... AAA-
——
Scene cuts to Pomni walking through the trashed hallway, looking for Ragatha.
Pomni: "Hello? Ragatha? That was your name, right?"
Pomni sees an abstracted Ragatha lying against the wall.
Ragatha: "̷O̷-๏-Øｖ𝑒я 𝓱𝑒яяяя𝑒."
She groans in pain.
Pomni: "Hey, look, I'm...I didn't mean to leave you behind like that. I, just...look at my hand. I, I didn't know what to do."
Ragatha: "Iʇ—Ɨ𝐓丂 ØⓀ𝐚𝔂. ꅏꃅꍏ꓄ ꌩꂦꀎ ꈤꍟꍟꀸ ꓄ꂦ ꀸꂦ ꋪꀤꁅꃅ꓄ ꈤꂦꅏ ꀤꌗ ꓄ꂦ ꎇꀤꈤꀸ ꉓꍏꀤꈤꍟ. ⓗ𝑒ᒪᒪ ๒𝑒 𝐚๒ᒪ𝑒 𝐓Ø ⓕƗx м𝑒 ย卩 𝐚𝐍𝓭 𝐓𝐚Ⓚ𝑒 Ć𝐚я𝑒 Øⓕ ᵏ𝐚ยⓕмØ."
Pomni: "Oh, okay, but where can I find him?"

Pomni: "Uh...okay! I'll get him! You just stay right there...not that you can really move or anything. Uhh.. Just hang in there, I'll be right back, I promise!"
She starts to run off but soon pauses when Ragatha starts to say something and looks over.
Ragatha: (glitching horribly and speaking in a cracked voice) "ⓒØØᒪ. ░A░░l░░s░░o░, ̷P̷̷o̷̷m̷̷n̷̷i̷, Ꭵм 丂Øяя𝔂 𝔂Øยя ⓕƗя丂𝐓 𝓭𝐚𝔂 𝓱𝑒я𝑒 𝓱𝐚𝓭 𝐓Ø ๒𝑒 丂Ø 𝐓𝑒яяƗ๒ᒪ𝑒."
Pomni: (awkwardly still doesn't believe this is real) "Uhhhh, yeah, well, don't worry about it. I'm just gonna go get Caine now."
She gives Ragatha a reassuring smile and runs off to find Caine.
Pomni: (In front of the sleeping quarters) "Hello? Caine? We have a bit of an issue here!"
She calls out, but gets no response. She realizes the whole place is quiet and checks everywhere.
Pomni starts exploring the empty circus for Caine to fix Ragatha. She comes across several doors. The first was a boxing glove that hit Pomni in the face when she opened the door. Another had an ocean of fishes swimming and somehow the water is moving out of the door, leaving Pomni puzzled. Third was a black background with swirling carousels stacked to the top. Kids laughing were heard. Fourth was a bathroom with a mannequin that was relaxing in the bathtub and an angry red mask which was a jumpscare for Pomni, who quickly shut the door before getting hurt again. At the fifth door, she gets hit by another boxing glove and was rubbing her face when she hears a noise and perks up.
Pomni: (From behind a wall) "Caine?"
She suddenly looks up in shock to see Abstracted Kaufmo roaming around the circus. He notices Pomni with his distorted eyes. Pomni makes a weird freaked out face, and the glitched player charges at her, making Pomni freak out and run.
——
The Gloink Queen Finally sees the characters, much to her disapproval.
Gloink Queen: "What form of non-Gloinkinian mass dares presume presence in the nest of the Gloink Queen?"
Jax is unbothered and checks his nails in a sassy way.
Jax: "Oh, is that who you are? You know, you could have asked for my consent before forcing me to see something so completely and utterly disgusting."
D.A.V.E, now sitting up off the ground, grows anxious.
D.A.V.E: "He means in that as in... uhhh... Beautifully ugly amount of pretty."
He grows a nervous smile.
Jax: "No I don't."
The Gloink Queen, Offended and angry at Jax for his rude words to her, a queen.
Gloink Queen: "How despicable, a rabbitoid that runs its mouth in the presence of my royal figure!"
Kinger and Gangle are still kneeling to the Queen.
Kinger: "Well, as a royal myself, I would like to kindly ask if-oh, look there's Zooble! Hi, Zooble!"
He waves at them as their head is getting carried away by a Gloink.
Zooble: (In an unpleasant, serious tone) "AUGH! HELP ME, YOU IDIOTS!
Jax gets a little upset when Zooble raises their tone at him.
Jax: "Kinda rude, Zooble. Now I don't wanna help you."
He crosses his arms in disapproval.
Kinger and Gangle realize that one of them have to retrieve back Zooble's head. So both of them play Rock, Paper, Scissors to get the head back. Gangle loses because her hands are ribbons, and thus, they can't bend or turn into fists/fingers.
Gangle: "Oh, I always lose..."
She covers her sad mask with her ribbon hands as a sign of defeat.
Kinger: (Happy that he won) "Yes!"
He walks towards the mini gloinks and manages to catch Zooble's head.
Kinger: "Gotcha!"
He freezes and doesn't process what is happening but watches awkwardly as Zooble and his hands continually move towards the Gloink Queen to feed her.
Kinger: "Oh."
He realizes his hands are detached from his body and thus did not stop Zooble's head from being carried away by the Gloinks.The mini Gloinks stack on top of each other with Zooble's head on top as Zooble realizes they are being eaten alive.
Zooble: "Hey?! KINGER YOU MOTHER-
The Gloink Queen cuts them off by lunging down and grabbing Zooble's head with her tongue. She swallows Zooble's head and Kinger's hands whole.
Gangle: "EEEEE!"
D.A.V.E: "Oh Deer."
She gets anxious and sad that they were eaten.
Jax: (Shrugs apathetically) "Eh, they'll be fine."
Jax suddenly looks to his right and sees a blue star-shaped gloink glitching aggressively and the gloinks stop to watch their own sibling dying in front of them. Jax looks back and forth, concerned for his own safety.
——
The scene cuts back to Pomni running from Kaufmo, who was still chasing her.
Pomni: "Gotta hide, gotta hide, gotta hide."
looking both ways for a hiding spot but suddenly stops and looks at herself in the mirror for the first time, seeing how she is in the virtual circus. She quickly looks away as Kaufmo comes at her and she hides behind a yellow Barrel after she opens it up and reveals red plastic barrel monkey toys from the 1900's. Kaufmo gets distracted and forgets about Pomni and instead chases after one of the monkeys
Pomni: "God, Where is Caine?"
Pomni bumps into an exit door in front of her with Abstracted Kaufmo growling nearby.
Pomni opens the exit door and enters, only to find a room with yet another exit door. Pomni goes through that door, but proceeds to find another exit door.
Pomni: "Huh!?"
She is Confused and scared.
Pomni runs through the door and finds a room similar to the last one, Pomni groans and continues to pant.
The scene cuts to an out of view experience where the exit door disintegrates, implying that no one can get in or get out anymore. A gloink bounces towards it, befuddled. Seconds later, the Gloink is crushed by Abstracted Kaufmo.
——
Gloink Queen: "You foolish assortment of colorful characters!"
She raises her head to the ceiling to show disapproval towards Jax, Gangle, D.A.V.E and Kinger.
Gloink Queen: "Do you not realize everything must be Gloinks!? I am Gloinks. You will be Gloinks! God will be Gloinks!"
Jax: "This is dumb and weird."
He speaks with a tone of disgust and looks at Gangle.
Gloink Queen: "Well, B- uh- (Stuttering, not knowing what to say) Y- Yet you're still watching it!."
Jax: "I'm not here for the adventure or anything I'm just here to hide from the-"
Abstracted Kaufmo falls onto the Gloink Queen, Causing a massive thud.
Kinger gets pushed to the wall by Zooble's head, getting his hands back.
Kinger: "Oh, thank god you're okay! (Relieved) You didn't experience a game show in there, did you?"
Zooble: "Uh.. I- (Gives him a confused look) What are you talking about?"
The scene cuts to The Gloink Queen being beaten up by Abstracted Kaufmo with cartoony noises.
Gangle: "What's happening!?"
She asked, Scared and worried.
Jax: "It's just Kaufmo. (Showing no emotion for Kaufmo) Don't worry about it."
D.A.V.E and Gangle: "Kaufmo abstracted!?"
Gang;e puts her hands up to her face in shock and worry. D.A.V.E grips his head in shock.
Jax: "Nah, he's fine."
Yet again, Jax is showing no emotion.
Kinger: "YOU'RE RIGHT! HOW ARE WE GONNA GET OUT OF HERE!?" (Worried)
Zooble: "Guys, over there." (Also showing no emotion)
D.A.V.E: "Okay! Everyone! Calmly evacuated the area. The adventure is unfortunately over due to technical difficulties. Please take the conveniently-placed emergency escalator on the right."
He points at the conveniently placed escalator that leads out of the cave.
Kinger: "Huh." (Suddenly being relieved)
They all start walking towards the escalator.
Jax: "Ladies first. (Being nice to Gangle) No wait why would I say that?"
Jax pushes Gangle to the side.
Zooble: "Wait.. Pomni's not even here!? (Angry and annoyed) Wasn't this whole thing for her?!"
D.A.V.E: "Yeah... come to think of it, I haven't seen her or Ragatha the last... 12 minutes."
Jax: "Be quiet. I can't hear the escalator..."
He Interrupts Zooble.
Jax closes his eyes, enjoying the sounds of the escalator.
——
The scene cuts to Pomni traversing the "Exit".
'Pomni' Gasps and whimpers
Pomni keeps exploring until she finds a office cubicle with a computer and a VR Headset, possibly referencing the fact she was transferred here by a Headset.
Pomni Cackles wildly while clutching her head; going insane.
Pomni makes it to a long hallway with the last exit door. Pomni runs towards it slowly and opens the door.
As Pomni opens the door, she finds herself in The Void. She advances forward throughout it and its flashing colors, with a tranced look on her face.
——
The scene cuts to Caine, Bubble and several mannequins in a restaurant. The former two laugh.
Caine: Oh Bubble, you always know how to make me say this exact sentence.
A goofy cartoon sound starts playing, coming from Caine's wacky watch.
Caine: "Gasp!"
An advertisement for the WackyWatch shows up on screen
Caine: "An alert on my WackyWatch at this hour?"
The WackyWatch shows a radar that locates someone in the Void, showing an alert.
Caine: "Oh no! (Caine goes wall-eyed) Someone's venturing out into the void!" (goofy but shocked)
Caine: "They'll get totally spoiled!"
Caine teleports out of the restaurant, into the Void, grabs Pomni, then exits the void with her and goes back into the circus grounds.
Caine: "There you go!"
Pomni is still tranced, but snaps out of it a few seconds later.
Caine: "Now, what the heck happened around here?"
He asked, Confused while looking around.
Caine: "Oh yeah- my doing." (Jolly again)
Kinger still holding Zooble's head, Jax D.A.V.E and Gangle run up to Caine and Pomni.
Kinger: "Caine! Kaufmo went through a sort of Kaufmosis and abstracted!" (Still worried)
Caine: "Kaufmo abstracted? Why didn't anybody tell me?"
He Exaggerated, plays a cartoon sound while sticking out his tongue
Pomni looks at Caine in irritation. Pomni glances over at D.A.V.E, who looks guilty and sadden, but he quickly smiles brightly, like a light switch flipped.
Caine snaps his fingers and summons the abstracted Kaufmo over to him, while the latter growls furiously.
Caine: "And into the cellar you go."
Caine opens a hole in the floor and sends Kaufmo down into The Cellar, which contains a body of water and several other abstracted beings, D.A.V.E waves sadly as the hole shortly closes after.
——
Zooble's body, now reassembled, comes up to Kinger and collects their head, attaching it back onto their body.
Zooble: "Man, I can't believe Kaufmo just gave up like that. (Sad) I mean, no offense Kinger, but I always thought you would be next."
Kinger: "Thank you."
He says, Happily.
Jax: "Guess it just goes to show you can't rely on Kinger for anything."
The glitched Ragatha crawls up to Caine.
Ragatha: "𝒾 αΜ 𝒾ℕ 丂ㄖ Μᵘ匚ｈ ᑭα𝒾ℕ!" (Voice glitching and stuttering)
D.A.V.E's eyes widen in shock and worry as he floats near Ragatha.
Caine: "Oop!"
Caine snaps his fingers, which reverses the glitching on Ragatha, and Pomni's hand. As Pomni looks at her hand, Ragatha stands up and stands next to Pomni, not looking at her, not happy. Pomni looks at the floor the opposite way. Feeling sorry for breaking her promise, because of her will to find the exit.
Caine: "I do have to apologize for lying about the exit. I knew how much all of you have been wanting there to be one, but, you know, I was having so much trouble figuring out what to put on the other side and ended up never quite finishing it. And you know how I never like letting people see my unfinished work-
Pomni stands there, worried.
Caine: "Especially if it leads you out into the void. Anyway, it looks like you defeated the Gloink Queen, so I guess the adventure's over. Your reward is a delicious digital feast cooked by our head Bubble Chef."
Bubble shows up, donning a chef hat, spatula and knife, next to a long table with food on it.
Bubble: "Made with all the love I'm legally allowed to give."
He says, happy at first but trails off.
Jax: "You know, I am pretty hungry."
Gangle: "You didn't even do anything."
Jax: (Annoyed) "So what? I can still be hungry."
Kinger: "Well not really, 'cause we don't need to eat, drink or sleep in this digital world. So the digital food here only gives off the virtual sensation of eating without any of the nutritional benefits."
Jax: "Sheesh, lay off it. Since when are you an expert on the digital world?"
Kinger: "Expert on the what?"
D.A.V.E: "While you all enjoy this wonderful feast, I'll make sure nothing else was damaged."
He says brightly as he floats off screen and away from the group.
As Kinger was talking, Pomni stood there in a trance, which eventually transitions to everyone at the dinner table. She looks down at her food, which looks similar to plastic play food, in a horrified expression. Everyone else at the table is talking peacefully. Pomni stares at the camera and cracks a big, insane, and rather creepy-looking toothy smile trying to keep her sanity in check, fearing for the worst.
The camera zooms away from the table, to the top of The Tent, then to The Grounds, then to The Void, then out into an office cubicle with a computer and a VR Headset. The same one Pomni saw earlier.
———
D.A.V.E opens a door and turns on the light to reveal a room that's decorated. There is also a poster of people within the circus, a majority of them crossed out.
Just as D.A.V.E closes the door behind him, his facial expression falls. Like a mask being removed from the face. He rubs his eyes as he crosses out "Kaufmo" and puts a picture of Pomni on the poster. He blinks tiredly.
D.A.V.E: "This day sucked.... I failed.... Again..."
He says, tiredly and sadly at the same time. He places his hat on the coat rack and then, flops on his bed. His eyes are more dull and grey as he blinks.
I hope you all enjoyed this book. This is a work in progress, so sorry if it's a little weird in some places.
