When I wake up, I'm greeted by a cheerful song that kinda seems like an intro

Gangle
And zooble
And kinger too
Ragatha
Jax
And there's kaufmo
Woohoo
Day after day-after day after day
We fly
Pat the moon
And the sun
And we don't know why!

It's at the end of the song that I can actually see and move. When I am able to see, I met with a colorful assortment of characters that seem interesting. One in particular, is a VERY tall, purple bunny wearing a s$&{ eating grin

What the f_¢$ was that... AGAIN!!! What is this...

The bunny looks at some floating guy with dentures for a face, which is totally normal, and points at me. "Caine, is this an NPC or is this a new sucker? Cuz if it's another character, we're gonna have to redo this whole theme song!" He seethes through his teeth. In fact, he never opens his jaw, his teeth are just lines... Normal, normal, love that

"Where am I? Who are you? What is this place?" I'm rambling and I know it, but I'm panicking ok? Also why is my voice weird? It sounds like a vocaloid, so that's fun. Anyway, I put on a headset and now I'm here, that isn't normal.

A doll, yes a literal doll, comes towards me with comforting hands out. "Hey, slow down new stuff you just need to chi-" I feel bad for interrupting her but I need to ask.

"WHAT THE F_€K IS GOING ON!"

"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 have stumbled upon a wonderous world where anything can happen! E-except for swearing." He stutters the last part, looking around thoughtfully.

I try to take the headset off but... It's not there... I frantically grab at my face to try and get this stupid headset off and as I do, the bunny finally talks to me. "Keep grabbin' at it, that worked for all of us." The sarcasm is so painfully obvious that I glare at him and he puts his hands up in mock surrender

"Why am I here? What's going on? Why is my voice weird?" I ask my question without stopping. Everything looks at me waiting for me to stop. (You know echo by crusher p? Think of that song) I start to space out and for some reason I can't stop it like normal

Jax POV

I notice the new kid start spacing off and she sits down like the cat she looks like. Speaking of her appearance, she has cat ears, a cat tail, but otherwise looks like a normal human, or at least as normal as you can get in the adc. I look at her weird, wondering why she's sitting down when suddenly she starts talking. No, singing. Gworly you are not a Disney princess chill. But as I listen, it doesn't sound like a Disney song, it sounds like her mind is taking a break and her singing is her subconscious way of talking rn


The clock stopped ticking forever ago
How long have I been up? I don't know
I can't get a grip, but I can't let go
There wasn't anything to hold on to, though
Why can't I see, why can't I see
All the colors that you see?
Please, can I be, please, can I be
Colorful and free?
What the hell's going on?
Can someone tell me, please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV?
I'm black, then I'm white, no, something isn't right
My enemy's invisible, I don't know how to fight
The trembling fear is more than I can take
When I'm up against the echo in the mirror
Echo
Echo
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now, and never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now, and never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now, and never look back
I'm gonna burn my house down into an ugly black
I'm gonna run away now, and never look back
I'm gonna run away now and never look back
And never look back
And never look back
What the hell's going on?
Can someone tell me, please
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV?
I'm black, then I'm white, no, something isn't right
My enemy's invisible, I don't know how to fight

Echo

As she sings, her tail swishes behind her and it changes from black to white alternately in a sort of ombre way. I look to the rest of clue and see that rag face has taken out a voice recorder. That's a good idea actually hol up.

When she's done singing she passes out. That must've drained her, poor girl... WHY TF DO I CARE!!! Whatever. "I guess I'll take her to her room." I volunteer promptly without even thinking about it. Well this is dumb and weird, oh well.

I pick her up bride style and carry her to the hallway where the rooms are. Weirdly, no body objects to me doing this. I find the room with her face on it and stop in front of it. I rearrange the girl in my arms so I can grab my key out of my pocket and unlock her door. When the door opens and I see her room, my jaw drops. It's filled with different instruments and recording supplies and everything. She must've been an artist or something in her past life.

I set her on her bed and look around some more, wondering if I should leave or stay to make sure she's ok. AGAIN, WHY DO I CARE!! I groan and look back at the girl. She stirs in her sleep and opens one eye slowly. I put my signature smirk on my face again, before she can see me without it, and cross my arms.

"Mornin' toots. Have a good nap?" I ask as she sits up groggily. She rubs her face and looks around. "You know, I am so tired of waking up in random AF places. Where am I now?" She asks and omg her voice is so cool, I could listen to it all day. "Don't worry, we're still in the circus but this is your room." I respond before I get lost in my thoughts.

She looks around again and groans, flopping on her bed. I chuckle at her and she glares at me again and, again, I put my hands up in mock surrender.

She gets up and looks at all her stuff. "Interesting." I sa- wait I didn't say that. I look back at her and she's surprised too. "Do that again." I tell her.

"Um why do I sound like you now?"
