Chapter Text
You may wondering how I got here, having one of the cast members point a gun at me, suspended a hundred feet in the air.
Well, first of all, I guess I should start with how I look like! I wear a porcelain pearl white mask with raven colored black eyes that are too wide for my face (and too expressive!). I have thin lips and my body is made of red ribbons that wrap around in a coil as my body like a child’s toy.
Now, that’s how I look like. But you PROBABLY want to know my name as well . Gangle—I know, it’s weird. The handsome purple rabbit, Jax, (who is also kinda a jerk) gave it to me. So no, I didn’t choose my name like everyone else, but I still think it’s pretty cool.
Now that’s what you call a tricky situation. So how did I get into this situation? Well it all starts on a Tuesday, a normal Tuesday in the Amazing Digital Circus (that’s where I live btw). So, you’re probably asking yourself why I got into this sticky situation. Well, there’s a little thing called coal.
The ringmaster, Caine, who is a floating pair of dentures annoyed, “hey everyone!!! We will be doing AN AMAZING ADVENTURE!! Buckle up students!” Everyone around us gasped loudly in surprise and excitement, even Jax! And he was always really rude and mean ):<
Now, that’s what you call a big shocker!! We all got teleported into a jungle, which was pretty scary if you ask me. There were bugs and vines everywhere! Jax even say a centipede and I nearly sobbed with fright. He tossed it at me (because he knows that’s my biggest fear) and my glass broke! I began to have a vengeful rage against Jax. Nothing could stop me from hurting Jax like he hurt me. Nothing can stop me. I’m–I’m unstoppable!
Wel,, that’s what I thought at least, but then he said his apolocheese.”I’m so sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean to hurt you at all, it was just a joke!” We cried and hugged each other, and one by one everyone clapped. It started with Zooble, and spread to Pomni, then to Jax and everyone else and finally to Caine and Kinger the chess guy. “It’s okay!” I said, embracing him like he was my best friend (even though Zooble was already my roommate).
But we had forgotten one thing. We were in an adventure. But JAX didn’t forget. Suddenly, Jax started laughing. LAUGHING, I TELL YOU. At first I had no idea what was going on, but slowly I realized that Jax knew all along. This was fake evil Jax the NPC!
“I can’t believe it’s!” I exclaimed. Fake evil Jax suddenly made me start flying. How? Don’t ask me !!! This is when the real story started to happen. You don’t WANT to know what comes next.
Zooble laughed and said, “I am on the side of fake evil Jax.” This revelation stung. We had been friends since we were little kids.
“Zooble, how could you!?” I sobbed loudly. This was such a betrayal, one I would never have expected them to make. They were my best friend ever! Suddenly, Zooble their concealed weapon. “HA! Take that, you” “Nooo!!” I cried and cried as she pointed it at me. The barrel gleamed in the sunlight like an evil weapon of destruction.
So that’s how I got here. Anyways, let’s keep going, bet you don’t want to miss what happens next ;) even though it’ll rock your boots off!!
Anyways Zooble shot the gun with a loud POP! I screamed so loudly everyone within a hundred miles would hear me and nearly kept a mile into the air—thankfully, it seemed they weren’t actually aiming for me, as the bullet hit the tree behind me; bark shattering and splintering off in all directions. But even then, my heart was still hammering in my chest. What if she had hit me? Would I be lying on the ground in a pool of my own ichor—dying as the life drained out of me? Would she hit me—or was this just a bluff? I guess the scary part was that I didn’t actually know if it was a bluff or not—which it definitely was!! My best friend would never ever hurt me because we were best friends for life!!
““Hachomp. Hachomp. Hachomp.” my heart beat. “Feeling scared at my wittwe warning shot?” they asked with a smirk. I was. Suddenly, I heard another, more distant noise. The sound of Caine. The sound of Italy, of Rome, of Paris. I knew what it meant. This was not actually Zooble. This was someone playing Zooble’s voice with an accordion while possessing their body. Someone was controlling them as one puppeteered a marionette.
What is a sick game for Jax to play to on me.
I whipped around to see Kinger holding a shot gun, aiming at my chest. At my heart. “No, no, no! Kinger, what are you doing? Why are you aiming a shot gun at my chest? I know I have great boobs but I didn’t know you were this jealous of them!” I looked up at the sky, and saw a giant, laughing, Jax-shaped cloud. “I AM GOD.” But this was Jax, this was Pomni. I just knew it in my gut.
What if Caine was truly just Pomni in disguise?
Is this a mockery of me? Is this a disgusting display of my own insecurities—showcased to a watching crowd of NPCS? Were the normal ones back in the digital circus, laughing at my misfortune? Was I the puppet here?
She collapsed to the ground—I was shaking with fear. Kinder didn’t lower his shotgun one bit, even with all my pleading. Jax was just laughing at me from up above and just to my side!! This was horrible—how would I ever get out of this?
I heard a wooshing sound next to my ear. Woosh.
“Why are you making them point guns at me Caine!!” I sobbed, clutching my sides with my frail ribbon arms. Or, are you really Kinger? They were easily ripped—an activity normal Jax would love to participate in. But he wasn’t here!! He was somewhere else and I had nowher idea where because this was awful!
