The Amazing Digital Paradise

Chapter 8: Set Up

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Abby is currently clearing up her appartment, as today was the first day of the Challenge in Oasis, and they needed to clear space in their appartment, just in case the game required a High Amount of Movement. She doesn't want a repeat of last time when they broke her couch.

*Knock Knock*

"Huh?" Abby asked, "I wasn't expecting anyone."

Abby walks over to their door and checks the Peephole.

"You could have texted me letting know you're coming Lil," said Abby.

Abby opens the door, letting Lilly, who's carrying a backpack, in.

"Well, this was a spur of the moment thing for me," said Lilly as she walked into Abby's place, "I had the day off work, plus I couldn't be in the appartment with Leah, she's not feeling well."

"Not feeling well like Sick or Not Feeling well like Time of the month?" Abby asked.

"Former," said Lilly, "nothing contagious, she ate an entire bag of Super Sour Lemon Balls in one sitting and gave herself a stomach ache."

Abby was taken aback by what Lilly had just said.

"Does Leah have no self control?" Abby asked.

"Just be happy she doesn't drink booze in real life," said Lilly, "Riley usually makes sure she gets Soda Water with a Lime wedge everytime."

"That's explains why they didn't let her have a shot during the Memorial," said Abby.

Lilly then takes off her backpack and pulls out her Oasis Headset.

"Plus, I figured since we get along pretty well, we should do this together," said Lilly.

"Are you sure it's not because I splurged on getting 5Gig Internet?" Abby asked.

"You never told me that," said Lilly, "it was mostly because in the off chance we needed space, my and Leah's place wouldn't work. It's a 2 Bedroom that looked more like a Studio."

"Oh, okay that makes some sense," said Abby.

"Anyway, Do You Know where I can put my bag?" Lilly asked.

"Oh yeah, just drop it off by my bedroom," said Abby.

"is that your way of wanting me in your bed later?" Lilly asked.

"What?! No, Ew,," said Abby, "Lil, you know even though I'm Pan, I'm also Ace!"

"Just messing with yah," said Lilly, "I forgot I'm the one with the warped sense of humor here."

Lilly walks over to Abby's room and Places her bag by her bed.

"You know most people have coat hooks on their walls," said Lilly.

"I did," said Abby, "but, Carol took them when she moved out."

Abby's phone starts Buzzing. She then pulls their Phone Out.

"Oh shit, the first Adventure's about to start," said Abby.

"We better get started," said Lilly, "Meet you at the Hub?"

"Y'know it bunny girl," said Abby.

It doesn't take long for either Lilly or Abby to get their Oasis gear set up.

Welcome Back, Pomni!

Welcome Back, Jax!

And like Magic, Pomni and Jax were back in Oasis.

Pomni and Jax then Met up with Kaufmo, Ragatha, Zooble and Gangle at the Hub area.

"Where's my girlfriend?" Ragatha asked.

"Remember when you told her not to eat an entire bag of Super Sour Lemon Balls?" Jax asked.

"And she did didn't she?" Ragatha asked Metaphorically, "God she is an idiot. But, she's my idiot."

"I wonder what the first Adventure is," said Zooble, "I just hope it doesn't involve those Gloinks. Not after last time."

"Speak for yourself, they used me like Bagpipes!" Kaufmo exclaimed.

"How is tha- Y'know what, I don't wanna know," said Pomni.

"To put it short, it's like questioning fire in SpongeBob," said Kaufmo.

"Are Kinger and Queenie coming?" Pomni asked, changing the topic.

"I contacted them in-game," said Gangle as she opened the palm of her hand, "Queenie said Kinger and Her aren't interested in joining. Well she said she wasn't interested, Kinger just sent me a picture of a dolphin wearing sunglasses."

"Oh," said Pomni, "okay then, looks like it's gonna be the 7 of us. Well, 6 today since Ribbit's under the weather. The First Challenge should be announced at any moment."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Bing Bing*

Caine then Appears in front of the group.

"Alright my buttered up banana boats," said Caine, "hope you are all ready for today's adventure, this one is a heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping, mind-bending adventure of epic- Wait, isn't there a Frog missing here?"

"I take it you never heard of Food Poisoning," said Jax.

"That I haven't," said Caine, "Hang on one second. *Freezes in Place making Dial-Up Modem sounds*"

"Gah, way to go Jax," said Kaufmo covering his ears, "You Angered him!"

"I maybe younger than you, but, even I know what Dial-up is idiot!" Zooble exclaimed.

Caine then unfreezes.

"Okay," said Caine, "Luckily unlike Most Ai, I don't mind calling absense like a teacher."

"He better not expect us to call him like a teacher," said Jax.

"Don't talk behind my back young lady," said Caine.

"SORRY!" Jax Exclaimed, "Forgot he can hear everything."

"Anyway, The First Challenge will start momentarily," said Caine, "Thought I should let your Team Know today's Adventure ahead of time."

Caine then unrolls his sleeve and pulls out a card.

"*Clears throat* Today's Adventure is:

THE MULTIDIRECTIONAL MULTIDIMENTIONAL MULTISTIMULUS RACEWAY EXTRAVAGANZA!

2 Members of your Team will take part in a wacky car race where the road is the only bumpy thing you'll worry about," said Caine, "the Race is divided by 4 major sections, each more difficult than the last."

"A racing challenge?" Zooble asked, "sounds a tad cliché there."

"Zip-it!" Caine exclaimed while snapping his fingers causing him to zip up Zoobles *lips*.

"Why you do that? My avatar doesn't have a Mouth," said Zooble.

"Sorry, that works on the NPCs," said Caine, "Anyway, who will be racing for your team?"

Suddenly a loud and long squeak was heard.

"Where is that coming from?" Kaufmo asked.

Everyone then looks for the source of the sound, the origin of which was coming from Jax who was squeeing.

"Jax, you okay?" Pomni asked.

Jax then calms down.

"Sorry, I got to excited there," said Jax, "racing games are my bread and butter."

"Really?" Pomni asked.

"Yeah," said Jax, "Forza, Gran Turismo, Need for Speed, those are my jam. And Don't get me started on MarioKart."

"Why do you hate it?" Zooble asked.

"No, I LOVE IT!" Jax exclaimed.

"I'll take that as your first racer," said Caine.

Caine snaps his fingers and Transforms Jax's current Outfit with a Racing Uniform.

"HOORAY!" Jax exclaimed.

"Now your copilot shall be," said Caine.

Caine Covers his Eyes and starts doing the pointing game.

"Eenie Meenie Minie Moe, Catch a Tiger by the toe, if it hollers let it go, eenie meenie minie moe, My Mom told me to pick the very best one, and you, are, IT!"

Caine pointed at Pomni.

"Wait what?" Pomni asked.

And Just like Jax, their outfit was transformed into a Racing uniform.

"Well at least the colors match my palate," said Pomni.

"The First Adventure will begin momentarily!" Caine exclaimed.
