The players of the digital circus had just finished a rather- troubling mission.(between episode 3 & 4) All of them stood on the stage, wiping off black, lard like goop from their bodies. When suddenly, a small pop of light brought their attention behind them. There, was a new person? She stared for a moment, then looked around in awe.
"Whoa! Where- where am I?!"
She was a humanoid fox girl ,with black fur. A white swirl pattern decorated the fur. Her eyes were glowing golden with pink Iris. She had piercings in both her ears, as well as snake bites. A large, fluffy tail wagged behind her. She had a cute little dress on that was off the shoulder. The fabric looked like the night sky with stars, and reached just above her knee.
"Uh- Cain? This isn't an NPC, is it?" Pomni asked, looking up at the floating AI ringleader.
"My goodness it isn't! Looks like we already have a new character to our show! Welcome, to The Amazing Digital Circus!"
The fox looked around, seeming to take in the bright surroundings.
"Now, don't freak out or anything. It's all ok. You just need to breath." Ragatha approached the fox, trying to calm down the freaked out fox...yet..she wasn't freaking out? There was no hyperventilating, no pulling at her face. She simply, looked around as her tail wagged.
"Uh, what the (bleep)?" Zooble asked, stepping forward.
"This place looks amazing! Such bright colors and crazy things! I'm so happy to be here, my name is- is...hm, I can't remember." The fox looked up at the ringmaster who seemed to freeze for a moment. Suddenly he laughed loudly, a large grin on the pair of teeth making up his head.
"Now THAT'S the spirit my dear! Let us get you a name!" The large casino like machine feel from the sky. As the AI and newcomer talked and spun the machine, the others stared.
"She's-" Gangle started, holding her broken comedy mask.
"She's a freak." Jax finished, staring in disbelief before chuckling. "Great! The newbie is already going insane."
"She's so relaxed, it's almost creepy." Pomni took a small step back, creeped out by the relaxed newbie.
Caine floated over, still grinning as the fox trotted over to the group.
"Everyone~! Meet our newest member, Twinkle!" Caine dramatically waved his hands, allowing Twinkle to do a little bow. Kinger was the first to step up, his hands shook along with his body.
"H-hello! I'm kinger!" He was basically screaming, making Twinkle's ears slightly pull back.
"Uh, hey. Twinkle. I'm Zooble." The take apart toy waved a lazy lobster claw toward the fox. Earning an excited wave back.
"Name's Jax, how's it going?" The rabbit smiled wide, looking down at fox. His smiled staggered for a moment though, when a thought came across his mind...it had been a hot second since another animal character joined the circus..not since...since..
"Hiya! My names Ragatha, I know it may be a little weird here; but I'm so excited to see your happy face." Twinkle's tail wagged even more, she grabbed both of the doll's hands and giggled.
"You are just the sweetest Ragatha, I'm so excited to be here with all you nice people" Her eyes turned to Gangle, watching her whimper at her broken mask.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"My-my-" She sniffled. "My name's Gangle"
"Gangle huh? That's such a cool name." The masked ribbon girl slightly smiled, enjoying the new and positive atmosphere.
Jax, however wasn't to happy. No one could get used to this place so easily. By the looks of things, Pomni and Zooble were thinking the same thing. Once Caine had taken Twinkle for her walk through of the circus, the three huddled together on the communal couch.
"Ok, this has to be an NPC right?" Jax offered, sitting down with a plop.
"I mean, maybe? Caine has gone all out like he usually does." Zooble also sat down, on a small recliner like chair.
"I haven't been here for very long, so I know I can't say much. But from what I've heard, everyone freaks out a little bit. I mean- who wouldn't?" Pomni kept picking at her gloved hands, avoiding both their eyes.
"Yea, that is true." Zooble put their clawed hand to- what you'd assume was their chin, in thought.
"Even someone as amazing as I am, had a little bit of confusion when I first got here." Jax chuckled, ego boosting himself. Zooble just shook their head, trying not to immediately strangle the purple bunny man.
"Maybe being trapped in a bright a(beep) video game is better than her life?" The moment Pomni put that in the air, the other two shifted uncomfortably.
"We-..don't really remember our lives in here. At least, not when we first get here." Zooble rubed their neck.
"Hey, yea now that you mentioned it. I've slightly remembered my life since being here longer. Though, it's nothing crazy. Maybe information I'd put in a dating profile is all." Jax smiled as Pomni talked, seeing a way to take a jab at the little jester.
"Awe but not that wittle name huh? B(eep) got stuck with Pomni." Jax teasingly grabbed Pomni's cheek. Using her cartoon body to pull it hard until it stretched like a rubber band. Then of course, earned a yelp from the jester when the skin came back at double the speed.
"Shut up Jax, jeeze." Jax's smiled wavered. He was slowly getting used to Pomni not blowing up or crying like others did when he tried picking on them. He was about to say something, when the three players were summoned back to the stage area. Everyone looked around, seeing Twinkle and Caine in front of them.
"Alright everyone! Time for an adventure!." Caine seemed giddy as usual when a new character arrived. Although, this just made everyone groan.
"But...we just got- got back from an adventure." Gangle gently protested.
"Yea, she's right. Shouldn't we get a break?" Zooble took a step next to the crybaby.
"Hmm, well I suppose. But we also do an adventure for the newbie." Caine was whining like a little kid at this point, but Twinkle stepped up.
"Why don't we make it tomorrow's adventure? I don't mind waiting." Twinkle spoke, like she was doing everyone a favor. Well, she was really; but Jax and Zooble just glared at the fox.
"Alrighty then! Tomorrow we shall welcome our newbie properly! See you all then~!" With that, Caine disappeared into a cloud of small bubbles.
"Could someone show me to the sleeping area? Caine showed me but this place is just so big." Twinkle giggled nervously, and Ragatha stepped up. As usually. The two girls walked toward the red corridor.
"I have a bad feeling about her." Zooble crossed their arms. Jax and Pomni casually nodded, feeling that some feelin themselves.
