Knock, Knock. I Care - Jax X Original Character (Reader)

6- Day After Day After Day

Summary: A new character arrives in the digital circus as the current members perform the new theme song.

"Gangle and Zooble and Kinger, too!"

"Ragatha, Jax, Sugar and Kaufmo, woo-hoo!"

"Day after day after- day after- day after day we fly! Past the moon and the sun and we don't know why!"

I jog to meet Jax and the others at the front of the stage after moving the Kaufmo cut out to the side. He hadn't shown up and everyone knew he was having a hard time, so the cut out would have to do.

I get into position for the next part of the song before seeing a short jester girl running towards- a red exit door? I've never seen one of those before.

Is this part of the theme song?

A big flower pot falls and glitches into the ground, seemingly scaring the jester, sending her backwards knocking into Jax who knocked into me, and I ended up knocking over Kinger and Gangle along the way.

The music suddenly stops as the four of us groan in pain and try to untangle ourselves from each other.

I rub my head, trying to ease the slowly building ache before seeing Jax's hand reach out to me from above.

Smiling thankfully, I grabbed onto it and let him pull me from the ground, making sure I was stable before letting go and dropping his hand to his side.

I brush off my dress as I look at the jester, whose eyes seemed to be popping out of her skull. Jax sighed loudly from beside me.

"Caine, is this one of your NPCs or is this a new sucker? 'Cause if it's a new character, we're gonna have to redo this whole theme song~" he says, making dramatic hand gestures and narrowing his eyes at the floating pair of dentures.

I elbow him in the side for his attitude. He only elbows me back.

"I'm not doing that again," Zooble replies, crossing their arms from the corner of the stage.

"My my, it seems a new human has entered this realm!" Caine said, dramatically as always. I rolled my eyes.

The jester girl began to grab at her face, from pulling her eyes out of her sockets to disconnecting her jaw before popping them back into place and trying again. "How do I- take this-!"

"Just keep grabbing at it. Worked for all of us," Jax snickered, holding his hand up for a high five. I lowered his hand.

She let go of both her mouth and eye, popping them back into place as she took in her surroundings a little more.

"What's... going on? I-I-I put on some headset.. and now I'm...here?" the girl says, her eyes wide.

Before anyone could answer, she hit us with another brick of questions.

"Who are you people? Why can't I take it off? I?" She continued to ask, her voice raising as she went.

Ragatha, being the peacemaker, stepped up.

"Let's just try to calm down. Everything's going to be ok, new stuff. We've all been through this. You just need to get your head to-" Ragatha tried, but soon was cut off by a ballistic jester.

"What the f&*k is going on!?" the girl yelled, soon becoming surprised by the black box that covered her lips and the strange 'boink' sound that went over her words.

"...what?"

"Now, now, my dear! We can't have any of that foul here. The is a to be by all ages. You, my friend, into an of wonders, can happen!...e-except for swearing," Caine stepped- or rather, flew in.

The girl then tried every possible swear word there was, a series of black boxes and silly sounds covering her foul language.

"Oh my God. W-well, how do I... you know, leave?" she asked in a soft, quiet voice, contrast to her loud and obnoxious tones earlier.

Caine froze and Ragatha tried to find the best way to tell her.

"W-Well don't out it or anything, but uh, we.. don't exactly-" Ragatha was, once again, interrupted mid sentence, this time by the sarcastic rabbit.

"You can't!" he exclaimed, smirking and leaning in front of the poor girl.

"What?"

"Jax, please, for everyone's sake, shut your mouth," I told him, yanking back his arm, causing him to stumble backwards.

"But, unfortunately, he's right. Welcome to your new home. And your new body," Zooble cuts in, motioning up and down the girl's appearance.

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

"We've been here for years! Old over there's been here the longest," Jax said, and everyone looked over to Kinger's pillow fort.

Then, Kinger pokes his head out of the pillows. "Did anyone say anything about an insect collection?"

I frowned, shaking my head and catching his attention, pointing a finger at him and then making a sleep motion with my hands. He nodded and went back inside his tent.

Jax leaned in real close to the jester, maybe a little too close for my liking. "That's why he's crazy..." he sighed, leaning back and walking over to stand beside me.

The girl freaks out again and tries to convince herself that this is all a dream, ultimately failing in the end.

Caine gives the new girl a tour, leaving the rest of us by the stage.

"Jax, you're a real a%!*$#e, you know that?" I told him, furrowing my eyebrows.

He scoffs dramatically, putting a hand to his chest in mock offense.

"I beg your pardon?" he asks in a dramatic voice, a hint of a smirk on his face.

"You have to stop breaking Gangle's masks! It makes her all depresso! And she can't even control that!" I say, motioning my hand to the currently crying Gangle at the corner of the stage, cradling the few pieces of her comedy mask.

"Oh come on, princess! It's all fun and games! No harm done!" he poked his finger at my nose, booping it lightly and smirking.

Princess?

"First of all, don't call me that. Second of all, yes harm done! Look at her! She's a d%&n mess, Jax!" he looked at the now sobbing Gangle.

He grimaced a little, before his normal expression returned.

"You're so cute, always thinking of others," his smirk grew wider as he pinched my cheek and stretched it a little before walking away.

Cute? Cute!? I'll show him motherf%$*#!g cute.
