The girl looked at Torch nervously. The Jester struggles to take the weird headset off.

???: How do I... take this... headset off!?

Jax: Just keep grabbing at it. That worked for all of us.

The Jester attempts to pull the headset off but, not realizing that it doesn't work, pulls at her eyes and mouth instead. When she gives up, her eyes and mouth fly back into position, making her wobble.

???: Whats... going on? I-I-I put on some weird headset.. and now I'm...here?

The Jester looks around in confusion.

???: W-w-who are you people?.. Why can't I take it off? WHERE AM I?

Torch: *Snarl*

Ragatha suddenly interrupts the Jester from speaking any further.

Ragatha: Let's just try to calm down. Everything's gonna be ok, new stuff. We've all been through this. You just need to get your head into—

(The Jester interrupts Ragatha.)

???: WHAT THE %$!# IS GOING ON!?...what—

The swear she said is censored by a cartoonish sound effect, and a black bar covering her mouth temporarily. The Jester gets interrupted again by Caine, explaining that swearing is prohibited in the realm.

Caine: Now now now, my dear! we can't have any of that foul language around here. The Amazing Digital Circus is a place to be enjoyed by all ages. You, my friend, stumbled into an incredible world of wonders, where anything can happen!...except for swearing.

Torch let off a mechanical laugh.

The first thing the Jester did was to try out every swear word after hearing that information.

???: %$!#, %$!#, %$!#, %$!#, %$!#, %$!#, %$!#, %$!#, %$!#, %$!#. %$!#. ..Oh, my god. W-Well, h-how do I, you know.. leave?

Caine: Uh-

Ragatha: W-Well don't freak about it or anything, but uh, we.. don't exactly—

Jax interrupts Ragatha

Jax: You can't.

???: What—

Zooble: Shut up, Jax. ..But yeah, he's right. Welcome to your new home, and your new body.

Torch nodded his head.

???: "N-n-new home"? What do you mean?

Ragatha: Guys, don't be mean.

Jax: We've been stuck here for years! Old Kinger over there's supposedly been here the longest.

Kinger peeks out of his pillow fort that he had made.

Kinger: Huh, did somebody say something about an insect collection?

Jax: That's why he's craaazy. (chuckles) Eh.

The Jester starts panting and the pupils of her eyes turn into scribbles, but she calms down.

???: Oh okay, now I get it! (laughs) This is a dream! And I should just play along until I wake up, right?

Torch looked at her.
