As another "morning" dawns, the soft sounds of sheets ruffling was heard as tRagatha crept out of her bed, stretching slightly with a small groan while she stood up and fixed up her blanket and pillows. It... technically was always morning AND night, but she was now awake and supposedly ready for anything. After changing out of her nightgown and into her usual attire, Ragatha smiled to herself as she twisted the door handle to her room, turning off the lights and leaving it behind. Just another day for her, and for everyone else trapped within this bright, bubbly hell. Well, you'd never catch the doll using 'hell'- at least aloud, but it worked the best for the moment.

Ragatha: *sighs* ...Today is gonna be another good day.

The doll hummed to herself as she walked down the hall, her hips swaying while she did so while something in her cotton filled gut told her that today was going to be a more calming and relaxing time, which she couldn't wait for as she got to the main floor of the circus. Upon arriving, she noticed that all of the others woke up before her, which she didn't mind since that meant all they could do is just sit around and wait for the next adventure. Rags watched the others at a distance, the cast having a bit of a playful argument to introduce Rhodes to their dynamic.

Well, she assumed as such at first

As she got closer to the group, she noticed that it didn't seem to be as civil as she hoped for it to be. The "argument" was in regard to whether Rhodes can stretch to a certain distance thanks to her telescopic limbs, but the means of doing such a thing wasn't exactly all that great. Jax was holding the robot's left arm in a death grip and holding her there as Zooble and Pomni held onto Rhodes' legs, stopping him from really stretching her out, but stretching her legs something fierce. Ares TRIED helping by trying to pull Jax away, but that made Pomni's arm stretch worse and Gummigoo tried pulling her head away, which only seemed to stretch her neck out. While the jester or chimera weren't saying much, Rhodes and Zooble were yelling at Jax for his behavior, to which the rabbit was eating it all up.

Rhodes: LET GO OF ME! THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT AN OFFICER OF THE LAW!

Zooble: You are NOT going to pull on her, Carrot Boy! Just stop!

Jax: Or WHAT? You're gonna choke me again? I'll just say "harder"!

Ares: Dude, please, just STOP! Also, *reaches in disgust*!

The mental image of Jax saying that while being choked made Ragatha shiver, her shoulders tensing up momentarily as she grimaced and lightly shook her head, but thankfully she decided to actually say something, her hands over one another on her dress.

Ragatha: Guys, please stop and put her down!

Pomni looked to her friend in confusion, not wanting Jax to mess with Rhodes or stretch her out, but gets an idea as she nodded and used her free hand to point at the red-haired woman. Gummigoo, Ares, and Zooble reluctantly agreed, and it seemed that Jax was about to as well, however right as the others let her go and Ares got his arms off from around him, the bunny instantly ran.

Jax: HAHA, SUCKERS!

Rhodes: WHYYYY?!?!?!

Ragatha: JAX!

The robot started freaking as she was pulled, her arm stretching out like a telescope up till about 20 feet, to which the robot stood up and caused the rabbit to halt in his steps and get pulled back, the back of his head slamming against the checkerboard floor with a cartoonish thunk. However, the recoil causes Rhodes' arm to be sent back, slapping Pomni right in the face.

Pomni: OW!!!!

Rhodes: Ah- Sorry!

Jax: PFF- Look at your face! It's practically beet red!
