Chapter Text
Another day in the circus, another day of hell. AKA, Jax keeps harassing Gangle, and both Zooble and Ragatha are calling his ass out. Not like he cares, though. Pomni just sighed, sitting on the couch. Kinger was in his fort, as usual. She wishes he wasn’t so crazy, because he really is nice when he’s sane. She snapped out of her thoughts, however, when she heard Ragatha speak to her.
“Pomni! Could you tell Jax that blackmailing is not okay! Because for some reason, he thinks it is! We don’t want to know what Gangle did with that anime figure-! Now stop using that against them!”
Pomni stood up, and walked over to the three while she began to speak, but was interrupted by Jax.
“Aw cmon Ragatha, I’ve gotta get her to help out on the adventures somehow don’t I-?”
“Did someone say adventure?!?”
Everyone groaned. Caine.
Pomni slouched over, “yes, Caine, someone actually did say adventure this time…”
“They always do, silly! Now come, let me explain today’s adventure!”
He cleared his throat, and flew up to the stage.
“Today’s adventure, is called…uh. Well, I couldn’t make up a name for it. But! I specifically made this for Zooble! And no horror, since Pomni keeps complaining about the horror!”
“W-well, I’m pretty sure it’s not just me complaining about it Caine-“
“Nope! Just you! No come, adventure time!”
“That’s a reference to something, but I don’t know what-“ Jax began, before they were all pushed into the portal Caine created.

Pomni huffed as she felt herself fall on hard floor, and brang a hand to her head as she carefully stood up.
“Alright, Where’d Caine take us this time- holy #%$@“
There was a human man in front of her, tall, light brown hair that looks like it was cut himself, and an outfit that screamed ‘I grew up on a farm but I’m trying to make that less obvious, and it’s not working’.
Pomni was about to say something, but the man beat her to it. And- holy crap it was Jax, that was Jax’s voice.
“Uh, that you Pomni? You look uh…less cartoony, than usual.”
“I could say the same to you” Jax raised his eyebrow at that, but upon looking down at himself, he yelled, “what the #%$€?!”
“Could you stop yelling, it’s annoying, Yknow.”
Pomni and Jax looked over at the sound of Zooble’s voice, and holy crap Pomni did not expect her to look like…that. Zooble had medium hair which was dyed several colors, mostly pink, green, and purple, it seems. They had many piercings on their ears, and one long tattoo sleeve on their left arm.
Jax, of course, immediately started to make fun of her,, “Hah! Oh god, Zooble, you look like a walking pride flag! I was expecting you’d look kinda eccentric with the whole tattoo artist and bartender combo, but wow!”
“Oh #%$£ off” Zooble grumbled, flipping him off(not like he could see it, but he knew which finger she had up under the censor).
“Uh, guys…?” It was Gangle’s voice.
All three of them looked over, seeing a girl that looked like she was in her late twenties, with heavy eyebags and rosy cheeks. She had longer hair than both Pomni and Zooble, rhat was tied in a loose braid in the back. She looked nervous.
Pomni sighed, “okay, so we’re…human again. Cool. Great. Not mentally damaging at all…hey, Wheres Ragatha? And Kinger?-“
Apparently, Pomnis question was answered immediately, as two figures fell from the ceiling on top of her, making her yelp, and toppling them all to the floor.
An older man, maybe in his late thirties, got up off of Pomni, wiping his pants. He had messy brown hair that was graying, and he could use a shave. Then, Ragatha stood up as well. She had very curly hair, of an auburn color. She had a nice flowered dress on too, it looked expensive.
“Oh, goodness…” Ragatha spoke, “well…I guess we know what the adventure is now. Well, sort of.” She sighed, holding a hand on her head and closing her eyes. Jax just rolled his eyes at her, crossing his arms and leaning against Gangle, using her head as an arm rest, which made her jump in surprise.
They all looked around, minus Jax. The room was a basic looking home, nothing special. But, it was Kinger who suddenly gasped, making everyone look over at him.
“…I know this place”
“You do?”
“I do what?”
Everyone sighed collectively.
“Well, since we’re all human, meaning this is supposedly what we looked like before we got here, maybe this is a place from the real world too,” Ragatha said nervously, using her hands as she spoke- trying to make reason despite them all being overall freaked out at the situation.
Jax huffed, removing his arms from Gangle’s head, “well, if you guys need me, I’ll be in the kitchen. There better be hot dogs in the freezer.”
Meanwhile, Zooble sat on the couch. Crossing their legs and watching the others from a distance. Pomni and Ragatha were speaking, with Gangle standing on the side. Kinger had already disappeared, likely to a dark room.
Ragatha momentarily turned to speak with Gangle, so Pomni decided to look around. Hoping to find a mirror, she went into the small bathroom. She flicked the light on, and immediately turned to the mirror.
She had bland clothes, much unlike the jester outfit she had grown accustomed to. Her hair looked similar to her digital form, but obviously less fake and cartoony looking…is this how she looked before everything? Should she know? Why can’t she remember what she looked like-
“Pomni” she jumped at the voice, snapping out of her thoughts and quickly turning around. It was Jax.
“You good? You look like Gangle when she was goin crazy at McDonald’s.”
“Uh, y-yeah, I’m okay. I’m fine.” She spoke, awkwardly playing with her hands.
Jax looked at her suspiciously, before just shrugging it off, walking away. Pomni sighed. She really hopes this adventure won’t last long.
