        A grand red-and-yellow circus tent stood within a vast grassy field that extended as far as the eye could see, the rich blue sky serving as a background for the serene yet festive scenery. The moment the front flaps of the colorful shelter parted, the first thing that came into sight was what appeared to be a backdrop of thick red curtains, followed by a few spotlights shining against them as drumrolls sounded in the background.

        Then...

        "Welcome to the Amazing Digital Circus!!" A bizarre-looking humanoid man quite literally flew into sight, throwing his arms up as he hovered in mid-air upon his appearance. He sported a ringleader's attire, consisting of a red tuxedo with a black collar and bowtie. He also donned a white undershirt with a pair of red buttons on it, alongside white gloves on his hands and black leggings.

        His most noticeable feature was the fact that his head consisted of a large jaw reminiscent of a wind-up chattering teeth toy with pearly white teeth and red gums. His eyes floated inside the dentures, one with a green iris and the other was blue. Resting atop his head(?) was a black top hat to complete his ringleader outfit, while he gripped a black baton in his hand.

        "My name is Caine!" The peculiar being enthusiastically introduced himself, his baton floating beside his hovering figure as he jabbed a thumb at himself. "I'm your ringmaster, and I'm here to show you the most jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, mind-bending paraphernalia you've ever laid eyes upon ~ !" 

        Upon his announcement, the curtains behind him parted to reveal an extremely colorful room that was somehow far more grand than the tent's exterior. The various obstacle courses that could be seen all over the interior varied from rainbow-colored slides that zigzagged throughout the room to hot air balloons hovering near the tent's ceiling. In comparison to the tent's simplistic appearance on the outside, it was almost supernatural how extravagantly vast the entire interior was. 

        "Isn't that right, Bubble?" Caine removed his top hat so what appeared to be a large, round bubble with razor-sharp teeth and black dotted eyes popped out from the topper. 

        "That's right, Caine!" Bubble chirped, hovering besides the ringmaster as they both floated their way down to the stage in the rainbow-colored room. "I can't wait to see what you've got cooking up for today ~ !"

        "Well, let's not waste any time!" Caine beamed(?) excitedly, the two stopping just in front of the stage before he gestured towards the curtains with a dramatic flourish. "Let's get right into the show!"

        With that, they both floated away from the grandstand so the curtains could part apart, each time revealing a rather eccentric-looking character as a song began playing out of nowhere, the lyrics introducing each and every one of the bizarre individuals. 

🎵Gangle🎵

        What appeared to be a humanoid form consisting of five red candy ribbons waved happily at the screen as soon as she came into view. Her face was a white porcelain mask with a theatrical comedy expression, four ribbons representing her limbs while the main mass of them curled inward to make the torso. 

🎵And Zooble🎵

        An especially bizarre-looking character was next to show up on stage as soon as the curtains behind Gangle parted. They resembled a Mix and Match-like toy, their head a hot pink, tilted isosceles triangle and their right eye sporting a swirled black iris and yellow sclera with a bubblegum pink eyelid, while their left had a black iris with creme-colored sclera and a pale purple eyelid with three thin black eyelashes underneath it.
