A Glitch In The Circus

Dental Dilemma

This was NOT how Pomni thought her day would go.

It was just meant to be a simple beach day at the Digital Lake. It was apparently the end of summer, at least according to Caine, and had decided their adventure today would be a sort of goodbye. So, all of the characters were automatically given beachwear and Caine left them to enjoy themselves. It was... actually really fun... until it wasn't.

One second, Pomni was riding on a mock-wave, and the next second, she feels herself getting flung from the wave because it decided to go way to high in the air for her liking, she lost her balance, hit her jaw with her surfboard and landed on the beach face first. She groaned as she got up.... Only for her mouth to hurt like literally hell, especially now with her stupid cartoony jester body.

See, her body had this little... feature to put it nicely. Whenever she gets incredibly stressed, manic, angry, or hurt, her normally flat, human-like teeth would sharpen to points, feelings like needles pricking her gums.

Speaking of her mouth...

She sat up, and she noticed two things that chilled her to the bone. One, her mouth had a strange, metallic taste in her mouth, and two, two small, needle-point white teeth, or... they at least used to be white, they were coated in blood laying in the sand.

The blood curlding scream she had let out luckily (or unluckily, she REALLY didn't want anyone's attention right now) got the residents and NPCs to look at her and see her shriveled state, paler than usual with blood pouring out her mouth onto the sand and two teeth in her hands all while sobbing. Ares and Ragatha had heard this, with the doll talking to Gangle as the latter built a sand castle while Ares had just bought a soda from a stand before noticing.

Ares: Was that-

Ragatha: Pomni! *to Gangle* Gangle, stay here!

Gangle: Wha- What's happening?

Ares: We're trying to find out!

Both characters run over to the jester, Ares throwing his drink at a mannequin, cuaisn git to fall off the nearby pier and into the water of the lake. Ragatha had taken the lead, running as fast as she could to Pomni, who, despite hysterically crying and bleeding, had her teeth go back to normal and the two sharp edged teeth looked even smaller in the girls hands

Ragatha: Pomni, oh my gosh are you alright?

She picked Pomni up bridal style while realizing the stupid question she had just asked, I mean, it was BVIOUS the girl wasn't alright. However, that didn't matter right now. Ragatha was going to get her best friend some help, even if it killed her- Also, ew, she's wet. Gross

Pomni: *lisping* Y-Yesh...

Ares: Don't you lie, yo- Oh, Christ, what happened to your mouth?!

Pomni: I... I tink my two fwot teef fell ouh.

Ares: Yeah, I can see. Come on, let's get her something to slow down that bleeding.

The doll nods, carrying Pomni as she follows Ares over to a booth, hoping to get something to help Pomni slow down the practical waterfall of blood pouring from her mouth. Ragatha could only pray the girl wasn't doing horrible, she had never had her own teeth knocked out before, and from the way Pomni was still hysterically crying, it probably hurt like A LOT.

Ragatha: Pomni, on a scale of one to ten, how bad is the pain?

Pomni: Bleventeen...

The girl reached to feel her mouth, which was a HORRIBLE idea due to the pain she felt as she then pulled her hand away to see it coated in blood. Great, her lips were all bruises and bloody too, figures. Not to mention she could feel the needle-point teeth coming back from the small setback of pain. Stopping, Ares grabbed a bunch of napkins and practically shoved them into her mouth, gaining both an angry look from the salesguy and a few pokes from her now pointed smile bones.
