Chapter Text
It was another day in the circus, Caine had sent everyone on another adventure, normal things they do everyday. Gangle's comedy mask hadn't broken yet, as Zooble was keeping it safe. The two were running from Jax and Pomni, and they had turned a corner to hide. "Why'd you stop shooting, you outta ammo?" Yelled Jax.
"Why'd YOU stop shooting? YOU ouuta ammo?" Zooble yelled back. They looked over at Gangle after she had tapped them, and saw Gangle looking at the floor.
"It's time." Said Gangle.
Zooble immediately gave Gangle her happy mask, and Gangle went running off, laughing maniacally. Zooble just quietly cheered her on.
Gangle had ended up getting shot, losing her last life and getting teleported to the "loser corner" where she, Ragatha, and Kinger had later... dressed as cats..? Uh, moving on from that..
After the adventure had ended, the six went to the "Favorite Character Awards", Pomni, and Jax avoiding eachother for some reason. Many smaller awards were given first, then, finally, the last award came. The favorite character award. It went to Ming, the light blue mannequin NPC.
Well, now that that was settled, everyone was free to go, and roam the circus, although they do this everyday. Gangle was sitting on the stage with her brand new, fixed comedy mask, when something.. no- someONE appeared on the stage, accidentally trampling her art! This was way worse than her comedy mask breaking, and she reacted fast. She grabbed her art, and ran further away from the person, unsure if it was an NPC or a new person in the circus. But then, suddenly, ANOTHER person showed up, accidentally falling on top of the first person! "HEY! VOX, WHAT THE F[BLONK!]! Wait what the-" said the first person, who was way shorter than the second. Gangle had decided these were definitely NPCs, since the shorter one knew the taller one's name.
Gangle decided that even though they were NPCs, she would interact with them. "Who are you two?" She said, voice as confident as possible with her happy mask. The taller person, previously referred to as Vox, looked at her confused. Gangle really got a good look at him now, and he seemed to have a TV for a head. Also a really slim body. Like, really slim. So slim that someone could wrap their entire hand around his waist! He also wore a blue suit with lighter blue stripes.
"Hah! Good one, random sinner! You obviously have to know me! Unless you're new to hell.. But I doubt that! I am Vox, media overlord, CEO of VoxTek! Kind of a big deal." Said Vox, entirely ignoring the shorter person.
Sinner? Hell? The circus was practically Hell, but nobody there was a sinner! They were just people trapped there after putting on a headset! And.. what was VoxTek? "Uhm.. no, I really don't know who you are. And.. this isn't Hell, even though it feels like it.."
Vox was about to say something, but then the shorter NPC started talking. "Vox! Don't ignore me!"
"Yes, Lucifer?"
"This isn't Hell. I should know, I LITERALLY rule Hell. Also, we can't curse.. which is weird."
"Lucifer, don't be dumb, of course we can f[BLONK!]ing curse. Wait a minute.. WHAT-"
"I TOLD YOU! YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME!"
"YOU F[BLONK!]ING B[BOING!]! DON'T YELL AT ME!"
Dang.. they're acting like a toxic couple. Wait.. ARE they a couple? And.. LUCIFER? RULING HELL?!
Gangle slowly backed away, hoping to find Caine, since he would never program NPCs to curse, let alone to fight. But then, another person appeared. One that looked a lot like Lucifer. Lucifer somehow sensed this, turned around, and yelled, "Char-char!"
Vox also turned around, and said, "Oh, Princess! Uh.. how are you here?"
The newest person looked at Lucifer, and yelled back, "Hi, Dad!" she then looked at Vox, and said, "Uh.. I don't know how I got here.. or where HERE is."
Gangle had already left to go get Caine, and the three people, who Gangle now knew were NOT NPCs, were all talking, probably discussing how to leave. (Which you can't do)
Once Gangle came back, this time, with Caine and Pomni, she was surprised to see EVEN MORE people. One was.. a cat? Nice. And another, looked really feminine but sounded somewhat masculine. Another had long hair and.. a spear? Uhm.. okay. They were all cursing like crazy. Do they not understand they can't curse? There was lots going on. Some people were fighting, some people were talking, and some people were... MAKING OUT?!-
Caine snapped his fingers to separate Vox and Lucifer since they were the ones making out. Ahem, moving on from that. Caine cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, which worked. "Welcome, newcomers, to the AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS!" Caine flew up higher, and words appeared behind him that said The Amazing Digital Circus. "I bet you all don't remember your names, so we're gonna help you get new ones!" Caine snapped his fingers, and a name randomizer appeared behind him.
The third person that arrived there said, "Uhm.. sir, actually, we do remember out names! Why wouldn't we? Then, it would be impossible to introduce ourselves! My name is Charlie!"
Caine looked at Charlie, surprised. And so did Pomni and Gangle. How do THEY remember THEIR names but everyone else doesn't?! Everyone else soon started introducing themselves, starting with the girl with the spear. She introduced herself as Vaggi. Then, the feminine male went, introducing himself as Angel Dust. Then the cat, Husker, although he goes by Husk. Vox then went, and last was Lucifer. As there was no use for the name randomizer, Caine snapped again, and it disappeared.
Everyone that mysteriously appeared had all agreed that wherever they were was not their home. Husk decided to socialize, and asked Pomni, “Well, how do we leave?”
Pomni just stays quiet, until Caine yelled out, “You can’t leave! Welcome to your new home!”
