Caine, the ringmaster of the amazing digital circus.
He had been there to witness people come, perform, and abstract. It saddened him of course, but due to him being nothing but a program, he couldn't really understand why the others were so terrified.
However he still needed breaks every now and then-- running around all the time and dealing with everything was a big task for a program, often causing him to glitch when he got 'stressed out'. But when he tried to take a break-- things descended into madness.
This is when Y/n came in. She didn't seem panicked at all and spawned with no one around, and Caine took a liking to her characteristics. Not in a weird way, just interested in the unusual calmness she held.
That's where the idea for a substitute ringleader started. Caine came up with the idea and brought up the offer to their new member, who accepted and was given a new name, a room away from everybody else and training sessions on how to take care of the others, as well as some number of controls of the digital environment around them when stepping in.
She would be seen by the others only a few times a year, it being a treat when she took over, due to her not being as intense as Caine and more understanding of their feelings. Plus it was tradition for her to be there at Christmas time, giving everyone a break and bringing festive spirit to the place.
Caine was also going on a honeymoon with the moon for a while-- did the others know where they were going? No, but they were just happy to have Y/n there again.
However, Pomni being new, never met this 'substitute ringleader'. She was nervous.
"Are you sure they're not worse than Caine?" The short jester asked, looking up to Ragatha with a shaky voice. "I don't want to meet another AI that doesn't understand my feelings."
"She's great, trust me. And she's not AI, she's like us." The woman replied as the group walked into the performance room in the circus tent. As they did, a figure poofed into reality, wearing a (black/white) button up, (f/c) suit jacket and tight pants that fanned out towards the bottom. But instead of a top hat at the top, there was a santa hat there instead. She also seemed to be have an appearance based off of a (Y/C/O.)
Pomni wanted to ask more questions, but she was interrupted
Most of them almost fell back from the volume of the shout, including Jax (L) which was unusual given that he was usually pretty good at holding his ground.
"oop! sorry." Y/n extended her hand to Ragatha, Gangle, and Kinger, who all fell at the shout. As she reached to help Jax though, the walmart knock-off looking ass had the audacity to slap her hand away and say "I don't need your help. Also, christmas isn't even all that, why are you yelling-"
The girl grabbed the straps of his overalls and lifted him into the air, a little higher than comfortable for the purple rabbit.
"NEVER INSULT CHRISTMAS."
Then she let him go, and he hit the ground with a loud thudding noise.
"I thought she would be a little... calmer than Caine, if I'm honest." Pomni whispered up to Ragatha, leaning in closer so that she was easier to hear, and despite her short height, Ragatha managed to hear her quite easily.
"Yeah, well she's a little crazy for christmas. But she's usually calmer." The doll commented back to the short jester, cupping a hand over her lips to hush her already quiet whispers further.
As they scooted away and looked back, Y/n was doing some kind of hand shake with Zooble, but as the temporary jester met Pomni's eyes, she popped up in front of her. She also noticed her shyer state than the others, so she slowed her words and used a gentler voice tone to not scare her.
"And who might you be, sweetie?" She asked, saying the word 'sweetie' in a gentle way, not showing anything sexual, but simply trying to be nice.
"U-Uh... Pomni." The small jester said with a quiet voice. She gently extended her hand, and soon she felt a hand gripping her own.
"Nice to meet you, Pomni." She said, holding onto the other girl's hand for possibly a little longer than she needed to. But, soon, she pulled away and floated up.
"Who's ready for their Christmas makeovers?!" She asked happily as she floated up again, twirling herself around in pure happiness. She loved taking over at Christmas.
After a bunch of nods and thumbs up, Y/n clicked her fingers and everyone was given a makeover. Gangle had a red and white striped ribbon, and her mask had a little Santa hat on it, Kinger had a red mantle with little animated christmas lights flickering on it, Zooble just had a white Santa hat on, Jax's overalls were just green and Ragatha had a beautiful flowing christmas dress on, which consisted of red, white, green and a bit of blue.
After she did that, Y/n lowered herself down to Pomni's level again, and she looked right into Pomni's eyes with her own piercing gaze. "Now my dear, what would you like for your christmas makeover?"
Pomni thought for a moment. She then hummed and looked up at Y/n, who giggled and maybe secretly found her thinking cute.
"I don't really care, but maybe something with a Santa hat?"
And in a snap of Y/n's fingers, Pomni's had a red santa hat on her head, and her jester outfit, rather than being red and blue, was now red and green, christmas colors.
Pomni looked over herself, turning a bit to see all of her outfit and adjusting her santa hat. Everything was perfect down to the last detail, like Y/n wanted it to be as perfect as possible, and like so much thought had been thought into it.
Pomni looked up at the girl with big, sparkly eyes and gave her a quick hug. She seemed to be into the festive stuff, especially with Y/n being so gentle and calm with her. "Thank you." She said, smiling widely.
Y/n gave her a quick hug back, and as Pomni pulled back, the girl placed a quick kiss on her temple.
"-okaygottagonowfindsomemariahcareymusicbyeeeee!" She said nervously as she ascended back into the air and poofed out of existence once again.
Pomni's face flared up red. She attempted to hide it with her hand, but it only worsened when Jax gave her a teasing smirk and knowing eyes.
Ragatha leaned down a bit, whispering to the jester: "I think you're her favorite."
