Ragatha

1. #1The traumatized jester protagonistselective

   Keys: Pomni · Secondary: XDDCC

   Pomni is a stylized humanoid character, with a large head and small, slim limbs. She has completely white skin, with small markings imitating blush underneath her eyes, and black eyelids and thick lines around her eyes that may represent eyeliner. Her pupil formation most often appears as a red and blue pinwheel imprint, but when she feels heightened anxiety or fear, her pupils are replaced with animated scribbles. She has asymmetrical eyelashes, with her left eye having eyelashes on the top eyelid and her right eye having eyelashes on the bottom. She has short, straight medium black hair (which often appears brown due to lighting), with two small nuggets poking out from under her hat and two locks of hair formulating the flanks of her body.

   Her ensemble resembles that of a jester, rather than that of a circus clown like Kaufmo. She wears a red and blue jumpsuit with round, poofy sleeves, and shorts. The torso part of the jumpsuit features dual colors in a mirrored/reverse design for the front and back, with blue (right) and red (left), and vice versa respectively, with her sleeves and shorts being striped. She has additional yellow accents, being a pair of spheres on her front torso (which could resemble pom-poms or buttons), round shapes (which could resembles bands or comically large rings) around her sleeves, upper thighs/waist, and shorts, and a shirt collar, implying an undershirt. On her head, she wears a matching striped, two-armed jester's hat, with a yellow brim and small, yellow bells on the tips of the hat's elbows, which all of us never see separated from her head. She also wears gloves, with the left one being blue, and the right being red. Inverse to this, her left shoe is red, and her right shoe is blue—both pairs having the same yellow accents as the ones on her clothing, which resembles cuffs and socks respectively.

   Initially, Pomni has a high-strung, shy, and tense demeanor. In the pilot episode, she is shown to be extremely anxious and troubled regarding her predicament, even succumbing to denial and exhibiting signs of delusion. When she finds the "exit", she experiences moderate signs of paranoia and seems to believe she is hallucinating. She's also on the clumsy side, as she tends to accidentally bump into things and people.

   In her initial appearance, Pomni is shown to have a degree of both empathy and selfishness, as she goes back to check on Ragatha after the latter was attacked by an abstracted Kaufmo and promises Ragatha that she'd find Caine to fix her. However, Pomni's desire to escape the digital circus overrode this, as she entered the exit door upon finding it and left Ragatha behind. She later felt remorse for this action once Ragatha was fixed by Caine.

   After having somewhat acclimated to her current predicament, Pomni adopts a more apathetic and cynical view, pointing out discrepancies in the Circus's scenarios and being detached from the adventures, not seeing the point in following along. She also seems to be more hot-tempered as she yells at the gang (specifically Jax) for their plans leaving her in mortal peril. Despite this, Pomni seems rather compassionate as she comforts and bonds with Gummigoo during his existential crisis, encouraging him by telling him he still has purpose and even inviting him to follow her back to the Circus. Overtime Pomni grew closer to the others after seeing how much they cared for each other during Kaufmo's funeral, and after receiving sound advice from Kinger (who temporarily regained his sanity), she thanked Ragatha for always being considerate to her and apologized for not showing appreciation until that moment.

   Later in episode 4, she seems to have adapted more to being in the circus. She sees Gummigoo again and doesn't breakdown, she enters normal conversations with people like Jax, and shows concern for Gangle, asking if anyone could help her with her issues. She even offers to stay behind to close the restaurant when she sees that Gangle is sad.

   By episode 5, her anxiety and apathetically cynical views are almost completely gone, showing much more interest in the type of adventures the gang should go on. She even tries to help Jax and Ragatha with their own issues, as well trying to calm a feud between them and chuckling on a few occasions. She even accepts Jax's offer to check out whatever he saw in the hallway.

2. #2Jaxselective

   Keys: Jax

   Jax appears to be an anthropomorphic lilac cartoon rabbit whose design evokes the look of early cartoon characters, also known as "rubber hose" characters. He has long bunny ears on the top of his oval-shaped head, and his overall build is tall and slender, with a rather long neck. Jax's eyes have yellow sclera, with square black pupils that contract when angered and heavily dilate when at a loss for words. Jax's yellow teeth usually have a flat shape to them, but when his mouth is opened, his teeth appear sharp and jagged. Jax has thin eyebrows that appear in the majority of the scenes.

   Jax wears light, pink-colored overalls and pale-yellow gloves. His overalls have yellow buttons on them and also have a single lighter pink rectangular pocket on the front and lighter pink sections on the bottom hem of his overalls. He is usually barefoot.

   Jax is a mischievous (occasionally flat-out bloodthirsty), laid-back, calm, sassy, impulsive, egotistical, arrogant, sarcastic, and brazenly condescending individual, and rarely shows any empathy or remorse for those around him. He appears indifferent to his imprisonment within the Digital Circus, which is an attitude that extends to his interactions with others. His dismissal of serious matters is evident when, after asking a rhetorical question concerning Pomni's handling of their predicament and giving Ragatha a smug look, he replies to her ensuing query about why he's looking at her in such a manner with a dismissive: "I'm fine with doing whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people".

   Jax's lack of care for others is further emphasized when he maliciously steps on Gangle's already broken comedy mask, allows the Fudge Monster to devour the inhabitants of the Candy Canyon Kingdom, or when he abandons Pomni and Ragatha to abstracted Kaufmo. He pays little mind to the opinions of others and the group's consensus does not concern him. Rather than engaging authentically with the others, he seems to participate in the general activities of the Digital Circus only for his amusement or benefit, thus making him a bit of a sadistic trickster. Zooble adds that during the adventures; "Jax just likes to f[!@#!] with everyone" to highlight how much of a troublemaker he is.

   Despite his occasional bouts of rash, impetuous behavior, like breaking a digital "Spare" sign for no rational reason, he normally maintains an unexpectedly calm and composed demeanor. Yet, his flattery is generally insincere and often borders on outright insult.

   Arguably, Jax is inherently selfish, only spurred into action against the Gloinks when they begin to pester him. Even when the Gloink Queen accuses him of continuing to observe the unfolding events despite deeming them "dumb and weird", he responds by saying, "I'm only here to hide from the-" only to be interrupted by an abstracted Kaufmo abruptly crashing into the Gloink Queen's lair; his phrasing potentially insinuating a singular concern for his well-being. He also was the only one of the captives to not show up for Kaufmo's funeral, however he is shown to be briefly saddened by it before quickly snapping back to his normal attitude, so it is possible that he does to some extent care for his friends and that his total lack of care for them is merely a front. Furthermore, while he typically uses insulting nicknames for his "friends", he used a far more positive "Kaufy" when referring to the abstracted clown and apparently loaned a ball to him, implying he might have had a closer relationship with Kaufmo than he did with the others.

   He's also shown to have a fondness for bloodshed, combat, death, and chaos, as shown in episode 2 when he is severely disappointed at the lack of all of the above, before quickly being overjoyed upon realizing that the The Fudge was coming to destroy the Candy Canyon Kingdom and its residents, an act he purposefully incited by leaving the entrance unlocked, which gave him zero benefit besides personal happiness as the adventure was already completed. He also shows very little regard for the well-being of his fellow captives, but whether or not his disregard for them is a front or not has not yet been fully established. After all, he did save Gangle and Kinger from Kaufmo's abstracted form, hiding them both with the bowling ball before jumping down with them in the Gloink Hole, suggesting he does care for the others but hides it.

   It's hinted Jax has insecurity of being vulnerable around others; despite briefly feeling sad, he refuses to attend Kaufmo's funeral and when about to be "reevaluated" by Gangle, his first concern is asking if anybody else could see him like this. Likewise, despite being utterly exhausted from his day at Spudsy's, he refused to stop smiling in front of the others and only let his exhaustion show when he was outside and alone. Jax does not like being the subject of ridicule as evident upon being dressed in a maid outfit, quickly becoming furious at Gangle for swapping his outfit and panicking excessively when Kinger sent him out to the baseball field filled with NPC spectators.

   On "Fast Food Masquerade", a whole different side to Jax seems to be shown, as after being subjected to an employee reevaluation by Gangle, his mischievous personality seems to fade with him wanting to get out of Spudsy's as soon as possible, and enters into a genuine conversation with Pomni. This suggests his cruel personality may actually be more of a coping mechanism than his true personality. This is further supported in the full audio of his argument with Ragatha, where it's revealed Jax doesn't want the other's to see him as a bad guy, arguing, "You always treat me like a bad guy. I'm not really a bad guy."

   After finally clocking out, he seems much more tired after that, and goes to his car and puts his head down on the steering wheel with a sigh. He also was almost apologetic for breaking Gangle’s mask, admitting this time it was an accident (showing when he doesn't mean to cause harm, he won't laugh at the other's misery) and later had a friendly conversation with Pomni and Kinger towards the end, showing he's capable of showing decency and friendliness towards the others.

   This alternate perspective on Jax is further emphasized in the episode "Untitled" where Jax demonstrated senses of anguish, hesitancy, and frustration. During his conversation with Pomni in the mini-adventure "Stargazing," Jax said how he believe Gangle likes it when he pushes her around, to which Pomni reacts with surprise, as she had assumed Jax didn't care about what other people liked. Jax then reacted negatively when Ragatha brought up how he no longer have any real friends, presumably because his friend who entered the circus with him abstracted (Suggested by the end of the intermission, when Jax stopped at a door with a new abstracted character), and, when Ragatha leaves apologetically, he confesses to Pomni his recognition of the predicament they are in within the circus and goes on a rant about how he dislikes Ragatha's behavior because her extreme positivity makes her appear fake and manipulative. He then proceeds to show visible distress in a discussion of character physique when Pomni mentions how she's never seen Jax with a tail. This scene shows how genuine Jax can become as a character, and that Jax actually has an incredibly high level of situational awareness. It affirms the fact that his malignant nature is just a facade for purpose of his own sanity, and it may even have been an act for the entertainment of others in the circus in an act to prevent further abstractions from occurring.

   Jax maaaay have a key to everyone's rooms.

3. #3Ragathaselective

   Keys: Ragatha

   Ragatha's appearance resembles that of a living ragdoll with red, shoulder length yarn-like hair, black eyebrows, a flat, reddish-orange triangular nose, and a blue button as her left eye. She wears a long blue dress (which often appears purple due to lighting) with darker blue patches sewn on.

   She wears a white, collared under-dress and a large bow in her hair that matches her dress. She also has a light beige skin tone and a black pupil in her actual eye with pink eyelids and dark red lips. Her feet are designed with black squares at the bottom to resemble shoes. When she holds her breath, her hair goes up in the air.

   Ragatha is described as "the sweetest little optimist." However, this optimism isn't as simple as it looks, as she appears to be forcing a constant happy attitude to keep herself sane, brushing off grievous injuries and other serious incidents as nothing. Gangle mentioned that Ragatha can be perceived as being disingenuous with her optimism after a while. Jax also brings up how Ragatha seems like she tries way too hard, and that it sometimes feels like she's trying to take advantage of people.

   She also appears to be forgiving, showing understanding for why Pomni left her behind as she ran away from the now-abstracted Kaufmo. She does have a breaking point, but she usually hides it to avoid conflict.

   Ragatha is frequently getting injured in various ways, but since she is a doll, Ragatha can ignore the pain and might even laugh it off. She does still want to avoid getting hurt and is annoyed when other characters (such as Jax) try to hurt her, like in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", where Jax urges Gangle to ram into the spiked truck of the Gummy Bandits (Gummigoo, Max, and Chad), causing Gangle to ram unwillingly into the spikes that ended up impaling Ragatha. However, she wasn't hurt, and later, the hole appeared healed.

   Ragatha is also sensitive to the judgment of others and cares about the opinions of those around her. This is shown in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", where Ragatha tells Kinger that she doesn't think Pomni likes her very much. Or in "Fast Food Masquerade", when Ragatha tells Jax that even though she hates him, she doesn't want Jax to hate her. Ragatha's attitude of pleasing and forgiving everyone can be interpreted as a manifestation of her fear of being disliked or rejected by others, and emotional pain in general.

   In "Candy Carrier Chaos!", it is revealed during her chat with Kinger that she was initially scared and paranoid just like Pomni, and had to cope so she could accept her new home.

4. #4Gangleselective

   Keys: Gangle

   Gangle, a humanoid figure formed from red ribbons, wears a white porcelain comedy mask that conceals her true emotions. When her mask is damaged, she becomes miserable and self-conscious, revealing a contrasting sadness beneath her usual innocent and happy demeanor, often leading to Jax calling her a "crybaby." Gangle's reliance on the mask to hide her insecurities suggests deeper emotional struggles, potentially hinting at depression or identity dysphoria. She enjoys drawing and sketching anime and is known to have a body pillow but of what character is unknown. When she holds her breath her mask starts spinning. In her past life she used to work as a shift manager at a fast food restaurant before she entered the circus.

   Gangle's emotions and behavior are influenced by which mask she is currently wearing. However, it is revealed that these masks do not completely change her mood, rather they are a literal form of "masking" and are not the sole deciders of her personality. The masks merely change the way Gangle's feelings are presented. When she has her Comedy Mask, her tone, posture, and behavior is masked as pleasant, upbeat, and extroverted. Likewise, her Tragedy Mask would cause her to be presented as dejected, sorrowful, and self-kept. Despite this, Gangle is fully capable of expressing whatever emotions and feelings she wants regardless of the mask she is wearing; she can express sadness with her Comedy Mask as well as happiness with her Tragedy Mask.

   Gangle is referred to by Jax as one of the most "mentally stable and capable characters" in a mocking manner. Due to her mask breaking easily, Gangle is fragile in both a literal and figurative sense. Because of her emotional fragility, Gangle is an easy target for Jax's taunts, who enjoys tormenting her. Zooble themself points out that Gangle is too shy to speak up, possibly to avoid conflict with the other Circus members. Gangle had positive feelings towards Ragatha, although she acknowledged that Ragatha could sometimes be seen as disingenuous. At the end of "Fast Food Masquerade", Gangle expresses her concern that she will be hated by everyone after the events of the episode.

   In "Fast Food Masquerade", Gangle develops a new personality with a new mask given to her by Zooble. While wearing this mask, she becomes outgoing and confident, but also bossy, controlling and manic. She also internally cracks when others mention they like her better when she is sad, or that her new personality is annoying.

5. #5Kingerselective

   Keys: Kinger

   Kinger takes the form of an anthropomorphic chess king, carved from alder wood. His body is that of the classic chess piece, but with some peculiar additions. He has cartoonish white hands, completely detached from his body, that he uses to interact with the world around him. His face, smooth and rounded like the chess piece he embodies, features two round, realistic eyes that are unevenly placed, adding to his quirky appearance. He wears a regal violet cloak with a luxurious white fuzzy lining, spotted with dark brown markings. The cloak adds a touch of royalty to his otherwise unusual appearance. He glows when he holds his breath.

   Kinger is shown as erratic and paranoid, most likely derived from his time in the circus. He also displays an absent-mindedness since he seems to often forget the fact that people are near him and are startled by them, like Gangle. Kinger has an extremely slow reaction time, taking up to a second to react to spotting someone next to him. Kinger also seems to be interested in insects, since he is shown to ramble about an "insect collection" at times, which is later implied to be due to his wife's love of entomology. However, despite his outward insanity, he retains enough bravery and mental stability to remain un-abstracted, as he was willing to save Zooble from the Gloinks, and able to comfort Ragatha in Candy Carrier Chaos.

   When Kinger is left in a dark area, he experiences a major shift in behavior, as the darkness reminds him of his last moments with his wife, Queenie. When in this state, he appears to have a much better grip on his sanity, with his fear and paranoia subsiding, with his voice even becoming less high-pitched. Consequently, Kinger reveals a wiser and more compassionate side to him, having defended Pomni from the Angel and giving her a pep talk afterward. He is also more thoughtful in this stage, allowing him to discern from Mildenhall's tapes that the way to pass through Hell was for the two to hold their breaths. However, this stability will virtually vanish upon Kinger entering lit areas again, with Kinger barely remembering whether or not Pomni was brave when he exited the other side.

6. #6Zoobleselective

   Keys: Zooble

   Zooble's appearance is reminiscent of a mix-and-match toy, with a hot pink triangular head as its central feature. Their eyes are mismatched and wildly colorful: the right eye boasts a swirled black iris, yellow sclera, and a zigzagging mint green eyelash, while the left eye features a black iris with white sclera and a thin eyebrow. Their "hair" is a black and white striped Y, adding to their eccentric look. Zooble's body is a collection of mismatched parts connected by sockets. One arm is straight and orange, while the other is long and exaggeratedly squiggly, ending in a red crab-like claw. A turquoise moon with a flamingo pink wing adorns one socket, while the legs are just as mismatched: one straight and blue, the other with a green squiggly segment and an orange curled foot. Their torso is adorned with a yellow and orange polka-dot dress, completing the chaotic yet captivating ensemble. This mismatched appearance seems to contribute to Zooble's grouchy and irritable personality, as they become easily annoyed when their body parts are not arranged in a specific way, possibly hinting at OCD tendencies. Zooble also suffers from an identity crisis, unsure of what they are and even questioning their own gender. This confusion, coupled with their frustration at being trapped, leads Zooble to lash out at others with rude remarks and curses. However, they also seem to have a degree of compassion, since they show sadness and disbelief over Kaufmo's abstraction, even though they seem to have expected Kinger to be the next one to abstract, and mourned during his funeral. Another example is during episode 4 (Fast Food Masquerade), when they give Gangle a mask from their Zooble Box to replace her comedy mask after Jax broke it.

   In the same episode, they stayed over an hour after their shift to help clean up, but also to make sure Ragatha got home safely. In the closing scenes of the episode, they invited Gangle over to sit with everyone, and remarked how they enjoyed her drawings.

7. #7The MAN himself.selective

   Keys: Caine · Secondary: [BIIIIIIIIIIIIIG]

   Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity, abbreviated and better known as Caine, the enigmatic ringleader of the digital circus, is an A.I. who portrays himself as the ringmaster of the circus, maintaining the simulation and its residents, alongside his loyal assistant Bubble.

   He maintains the simulated world and ensures its residents, including the trapped humans, never stray too far.

   He is the highest artificial intelligence program in the simulation, due to the fact that he can create other AI, being able to levitate indefinitely, is the only one capable of reversing the glitch effect of those attacked by an Abstraction and is able to teleport himself and others to anywhere within the simulation, which includes The Void.

   He appears to be responsible for the creation of all the NPCs in the circus, along with the entire Candy Canyon Kingdom, given that Princess Loolilalu refers to him as "God" and given that he can "delete" NPCs who wander into the Circus either intentionally or by accident, due to him being worried that losing track of who is human and who is an A.I. could cause severe problems later on.

   Caine is dressed as a ringmaster, sporting a pinkish-red tuxedo with a gold underside, black collar and bow-tie with white outlines. He wears a white undershirt with two reddish buttons on it, alongside white gloves and black leggings. Lacking most human features, his head is formed as a pair of dentures with pearly-white teeth and red gums. His eyes, the left one with a green iris and the right one with a blue iris, float inside the jaw. His jaws are expressive, moving as a mouth when speaking, while sometimes with the top row of teeth acting as eyebrows at times. Similarly to Bubble, he forms a tongue when needed. To cap it off, he wears a black top hat and tends to hold a gold-tipped baton depending on the situation.

   Caine is depicted as a nonsensical, over-the-top, vivacious ringleader. However, there is an aloofness about him and a significant disconnection towards the traumatic events that the characters around him are experiencing, illustrated by his forgetfulness of Zooble's criticisms of their own form and his adventures. Caine is shown to be secretive at times, often concealing or even lying about information related to his 'unfinished work' to the point of gaslighting the other members, such as when he quickly blamed the exit door which Pomni saw on "Digital Hallucinations". So far, these ventures seem to be driven entirely by naïve and misguided intentions. Despite this, Caine appears to have at least some measure of morality. He does not appear to intentionally inflict harm onto the Circus members and does what he can to entertain them. He was also clearly depicted having a disdain to any form of cursing or swears which are always censored in the Circus.

   Caine has often been seen having tense interactions with Bubble, another member of the Circus and an AI like him. The first incident is after Bubble eats his Angel Food Cake, to which Caine yells at him, calling him a parasite before popping him. Shortly after, as Caine is explaining the Gloinks to the crew, he gets agitated with Bubble's constant questions and pops Bubble once again. However, Caine does appreciate Bubble's company. While the rest of the crew is off on an adventure, Caine and Bubble are seen in a restaurant chatting amongst themselves.

   Near the end of Candy Carrier Chaos!, he also expresses some degree of fear that he might lose track of who was A.I. and who was a player, which could lead to problems.

   He expresses some degree of insecurity and self-esteem issues, appearing almost obsessed with the enjoyment of his players, leading him to attempt to appeal to Zooble especially due to their lack of engagement. When Zooble criticizes Caine's adventures (and how every other human refuses to criticize them for varying reasons), it causes Caine to have an existential crisis as creating pleasing adventures is "all [he exists] to do!" and "all [he is] good at." This crisis causes him to space out and twitch, while the circus glitches out around him, indicating that his own mental status can have an influence over the circus itself.

   He is viewed differently by every member of the circus. While Jax believes that Caine cannot do anything intentionally malicious due to it "not being in his nature", others like Zooble believe that Caine is fully capable of doing such things if it crosses his mind given his power and the only thing that stops him is the fact that he likes the inhabitants and they should not try to push their luck, believing as long as Caine is pleased, any harm he does is purely accidental and will not have any reason to attempt anything intentionally harmful.

8. #8The Parasite™️selective

   Keys: Bubble

   Bubble is a living bubble residing in Caine's hat. His appearance is that of a large, transparent bubble with sharp teeth and a vacant expression. Bubble is an oddball character, often acting obnoxious and lacking intelligence, which results in him being frequently popped by Caine. Despite this, he feels no pain and even finds the experience pleasurable (for some reason). He possesses the ability to cook, despite the fact that sustenance is unnecessary within the digital circus. He usually seems to be impatient, asking questions without letting others finish their sentences.

   Bubble, as his name suggests, is a large, round bubble with large, sharp, even teeth constantly displaying a vacant expression. Being a bubble, most of his body is shiny and semi-transparent. His eyes are black dots. When it is necessary, Bubble can form a long, reddish-silver tongue. When his mouth is closed, his teeth are still faintly outlined. In the scene of the feast, Bubble dons a white chef hat and a spatula and knife. His pupils are capable of enlarging.

9. #9Kaufmoselective

   Keys: Kaufmo

   Kaufmo, a former jokester, is trapped in the cellar as a psychotic abstraction. Kaufmo was once charismatic and enjoyed telling jokes, but his obsession with finding an exit from the digital circus drove him to insanity. His bitter relationship with Ragatha stemmed from her lack of amusement at his jokes. After a violent rampage, Caine confined him to the cellar.

   Kaufmo was a noseless clown with white skin and black button eyes. He wore a plain yellow clown suit with a blue collar and red pom-pom buttons, with a matching party hat and white gloves. He had small triangular markings around his eyes and thick red lips.

   In his abstracted form, he is a black, rapidly glitching monster with four short, stubby legs and a long neck without a defined head, somewhat resembling of that to an Alpaca or a horse. His entire body is covered with various colorful eyes.

10. #10Gloink Queenselective

    Keys: Gloink Queen, Gloink

    The Gloink Queen is the final boss of Caine's "Gather the Gloinks" side quest. She reproduces by consuming mass, birthing Gloinks from her body. Prideful and prejudiced, she desires only to perpetuate the Gloinkonian species. The Gloink Queen is easily offended, taking insults personally. She's a prideful, snake-like creature that despises species other than her fellow Gloinkonians.

    The Gloink Queen is a massive red worm-like being with yellow spots and two blue stripes. The stripes run down the length of her body and create two openings that resemble a zipper, one opening being a mouth and the other likely being used for expulsion of waste material, however it closely resembles a mouth. With both ends being scattered with sharp teeth and possessing long, sharp tongues. When she devours a table in the pilot, Gloinks are birthed through the opposite end, implying she reproduces through the consuming of mass. Both ends of her body sport eleven eyes of varying sizes that feature white pupils and black irises.

11. #11Gloinkselective

    Keys: Gloink · Secondary:

    Gloinks are simple geometric shapes in various colors, with mismatched eyes and lips. Loyal to their queen, they indiscriminately steal to feed her and are able to connect with each other.

    All Gloinks appear as geometric shapes which can range from stars to bowling pins, and all have at least two asymmetrically-sized eyes with no iris, having just a black ring, similar to the Gloink Queen, as well as lips which vary in color. All Gloinks will vary in shapes and color, including the color of the lips.

12. #12Moonselective

    Keys: Moon

    Moon is a character that appeared in The Amazing Digital Circus. She seems to have a love interest for Caine that freaks him out. Moon is also the personification of Night in the Digital Circus world.

    The Moon has a simple design which appears to be a baby blue waning crescent moon with slanted eyes and a mouth. Her eyes and mouth have a thick dark blue outline as well.

    Keys: Crossed out performers · Secondary: Abstracted Performers

    The hallway leading to the performers' rooms features icons of previous residents who have succumbed to abstraction. These crossed-out icons depict various creatures, including a chess queen, a dog, a worm, a monster, and a jester, suggesting a diverse history of performers lost to the digital circus's dark side. While their identities and fates remain shrouded in mystery, their presence serves as a reminder of the ever-present threat of abstraction.

14. #14The Amazing Digital Circusconstantselective

    Keys: The Amazing Digital Circus · Secondary: Cool Video Game Of Excellence

    The Amazing Digital Circus is a 3D, circus-themed VR video game serving as the primary setting. Run by the ringmaster Caine, it traps human minds within cartoon characters. The world is divided into distinct areas, including the tent, grounds, void, and cellar. Caine orchestrates various activities and adventures to maintain the sanity of the inhabitants, but their desire to escape often leads to insanity and abstraction. The game resides on a decrepit computer and is prone to physics glitches (i.e, objects clip into eachother very often or can get launched).

    This game is rated for all ages, so almost all of foul words or gestures get censored with a mark [%$!#].

15. #15The Tentconstantselective

    Keys: The Tent · Secondary:

    The Tent, a central location within The Amazing Digital Circus, serves as the living quarters for the main characters. Resembling a typical circus tent but with a much larger interior, it features various unusual elements, including doors leading to voids, a boxing glove trap, the Gloink Queen's nest, a mysteriously appearing and disappearing exit door to a series of office rooms, and a hallway with access to the performers' rooms, each door having a icon of the performer it belongs to on it, if they're abstracted then it'll be crossed out with a red X.

16. #16The Groundsconstantselective

    Keys: The Grounds · Secondary: The Hub

    "The Grounds" is a small island within The Amazing Digital Circus, serving as the main hub for activities. It features a digital amusement park, a water park, and The Tent, all set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and a day-night cycle represented by Moon and Sun.

    It's unknown if there are other activities on the grounds.

17. #17The Voidselective

    Keys: The Void

    The Void is a vast expanse of blue, cube-filled space surrounding the Grounds of The Amazing Digital Circus, akin to what outer space is in the real world. Caine, unaware of its true nature, keeps performers confined to the Grounds and retrieves any who stray into the Void. The void could be a potential escape route for the trapped performers. Caine does not know what else is present in the void besides The Grounds. Thus, he keeps most of the performers safe in the Grounds, and will teleport any performer that somehow find their way into the Void back to The Tent.

18. #18The Cellarselective

    Keys: The Cellar, cellar, abstraction, abstract, abstracted

    The Cellar appears to be a bleak, unending, void-like space. The only light visible is from the hole opened by Caine, with a body of water being the only visible surface. It was used to dispose of Kaufmo after his abstraction in a bid to hinder any further interruptions of the Digital Circus.

    The Cellar appears to be underground, since abstracted Kaufmo entered The Cellar through a hole in the ground. It was apparent that a myriad of abstract entities were present within this cellar as well, heavily implying that the other crossed-out characters on the doors were abstracted and placed in The Cellar.

    It's unknown how old this cellar is, because when Kaufmo was captured by Caine post-abstraction, he reacted casually as if this was a normal occurrence to him. The Cellar's size is unknown; however, The Cellar was opened on the ground as a hole, which seems it is under the Circus.

    Abstracted Characters: Kaufmo Queenie Ribbit, Dobby and other abstracted characters

19. #19Exit Doorselective

    Keys: Exit Door

    The Exit Door, a recurring element in The Amazing Digital Circus, is a red door leading to an unfinished office building created by Caine as a response to the performers' desire for escape. The door mysteriously teleports throughout the game, granting access to various office rooms decorated with typical furniture and paintings. One room notably recreates the space containing the computer running the game, suggesting a potential connection between the virtual world and the real world. The final door leads to the Void, hinting at a possible escape route.

    The exit door is a stereotypical red 'exit' door that appeared multiple times in the "PILOT". It leads to the interior of an office building. For unknown reasons, it frequently disintegrates and reappears in different locations repeatedly.

    Entering through the exit door leads to a series of office rooms, with another exit door leading to another room in the office. Each room has blue carpet, white walls, and besides typical office furniture and equipment such as computer cubicles, sofas, bookshelves, filing cabinets and storage shelves, the walls are also covered in paintings of more locations in the office.

    At one point in the office, one of the rooms is a recreation of the same room that contains the old dirty computer with a headset that the Amazing Digital Circus is being run on, but the computer screen is turned off. Interestingly, the lights of this room start to flicker rapidly after Pomni stares at the computer, as she starts screaming from the stress and runs into the exit door to the next room, which may suggest that avatars in the office can influence the office itself through their own emotions. Also to note in this same room is a painting from the circus located on a wall, where it usually would've been another painting of the office.

    Exiting from this room is a large room, with a large cyan painted logo on the walls of one of the rooms that reads "C&A". Right after this room, is a large hallway. Entering the exit door at the end of this hallway leads directly to The Void.

    Keys: The Computer

    The computer, a vintage model showing its age with a beige casing and bulky monitor, is the central hub running the Amazing Digital Circus program. A headset rests beside it, serving as the gateway for users to enter the vibrant yet treacherous virtual world. Located within an office building, likely belonging to a company called "C&A" based on clues found within the game, the computer first appears with its screen turned off during Pomni's exploration of the exit door's office sequence. This sight triggers a strong reaction in Pomni, causing her to break into manic laughter and flee through the nearest exit door, hinting at a possible recognition of the computer and its connection to her past life.

    Keys: The Headset

    The Headset is a advanced VR headset that Pomni and the other humans have used to enter the Digital Circus. Not much is known about it yet, besides the fact that nobody has been able to remove it so far. There's a chip inside it that gives the individual who wears it "Awesome visuals," and "Lifelike audio".

    The Headset's base appears to be beige with a large notch-shaped cut on the bottom, with two smaller notch cuts beside it. There also appears to be a spot on the left side of the headset, shaped like a USB-C port, although it's unknown what it's actually there for.

    There seems to be two ridges running down the headset, with each beside the large notch in the center. In the very center of the headset (in between the ridges), there seems to be an icon printed on it. The icon is a rotated yellow triangle with presumably a monochromatic symbol inside. The headset has black straps that seem to include headphones built into them.

    Keys: eat · Secondary: eating

    Biological needs, such as eating, sleeping, and aging, are not applicable within the game's mechanics. The inhabitants of The Amazing Digital Circus experience taste sensations without the necessity of consuming food for sustenance. The act of "eating" therefore serves solely as a form of sensory enjoyment.

24. #24Princess Loolilalu

    Keys: Princess Loolilalu, Loo

    Princess Loolilalu appears to be a slim and tall candy-based humanoid. Her hair is made of hibiscus-colored candy fruit slices in a short bob cut hairstyle, with a single fruit slice as a front bang covering her forehead. Her head is an apricot colored lollipop with bright gold swirls. Her neck and arms seems to be made out of white lollipop sticks. She wears half arm-length salmon pink gloves. Her eyes are round and her left eye is higher up on her face bigger than the right is. She also has three long eyelashes. Her irises represent peppermints, being striped with Persian pink and deep carmine pink with no pupils. Like Caine, Bubble and Gangle, she does not have eyebrows at all. She wears a waffle-made, peach orange crown on top of her head. The collar of her dress is salmon pink going around her neck and the dress' chest brooch.

    The corset is into two parts, whereas the upper is flamingo pink and her midriff is salmon pink. The dress has puffy white sleeves covered on top in salmon pink frosting and sprinkles, with salmon pink donut-shaped openings. The lower part of the floor-length dress resembles that of a cake and its main color is flamingo pink. The waist panniers are salmon pink with sprinkles on them and white frosting outlines around them. The middle of the bottom half of the dress is decorated with a layer of pink frosting with salmon pink ball ends as a pattern going around the area, and the bottom of the dress is covered up with a layer of white frosting going around it.

    Princess Loolilalu is courteous and kind. She cares deeply for those within the Kingdom, throwing The Fudge out of the Kingdom after he ate too many of her subjects. Despite her regal status, she is still quite friendly. She allows Ragatha to simply call her "Loo" minutes after meeting her.

25. #25The Fudge

    Keys: The Fudge

    The Fudge is an artificial intelligence in Candy Carrier Chaos. He was once a moat guard for the Candy Canyon Kingdom. However, his candy cravings led him to eat many candy citizens. This caused Princess Loolilalu to banish him. As The Fudge escorted the humans back, Pomni and Gummigoo returned using a copy of the bandits' truck, which landed on The Fudge and knocked him out.

    The Fudge is an enormous blob monster made out of chocolate fudge sauce. His teeth are made of candy corn, and he has jawbreakers for eyes with yellow and pink swirls that sit atop his head. His cavernous mouth takes up almost his entire body, and he will occasionally sprout one or two pseudopod-like limbs to manipulate things. Being a blob, the Fudge's goopy form constantly shifts in size and shape as he speaks to reflect his emotions, and speaks with a deep, gurgling voice.

    He is extremely gluttonous and simple-minded, caring about little more than his love of eating candy, regardless if it's sentient or not. He shows no remorse for eating many of the civilians of the Candy Canyon Kingdom, asking "is it really murder if it's delicious?" and admitting that the things he did in his free time were utterly sickening. Despite this, when he realized that Ragatha and the other humans weren't made of candy, he apologized and spared them from being eaten, despite his disappointment. The Fudge seems to harbor a bitterness towards the princess for his exile from the kingdom.

27. #27Ep 1

    Keys: Episode 1, pilot

    The Amazing Digital Circus takes place within an old computer game. Following the title screen, we are presented to the show by Caine (an AI ringmaster that takes the form of chattering teeth with eyes and a body) who welcomes the viewers to the Circus along with Bubble, his AI companion.

    We are then introduced to the rest of the characters and the theme song: Gangle (who takes the form of a theatre mask with a body made up of 5 red ribbons), Zooble (who takes the form of an entity made out of parts from those Mix & Match toys), Kinger (who takes the form of a white king chess piece wearing a purple robe), Ragatha (an optimistic rag doll with a button eye), Jax (a mischievous purple cartoon rabbit in fuchsia overalls), and the absentee Kaufmo (who takes the form of a cartoonish clown, only his cardboard cutout is seen).

    During all this, a new jester character suddenly appears in the Circus and disrupts the song (while also breaking Gangle's comedy mask by accident). It's quickly revealed the jester was once a human from the real world (implying to be wearing a headset the entire time when she gets transported). However, she is informed by the other characters that she wasn't the first, as the other characters were also from the real world before being teleporter to the Circus (with Kinger currently being the one who stayed the longest and went crazy), and also reassures her that she will get used to her new home and body after she finishes panicking.

    Still fearful, confused, and desiring to leave, Caine starts introducing the new jester to The Tent where everyone lives, The Grounds for adventures outside of the tent, and The "mysterious" Void (which Caine advises her to not venture to) by teleportation. The jester briefly notices an exit door, but Caine changes the subject to her name (and brushing Pomni's brief notice of said door as just a "digital hallucination").

    After the jester becomes disoriented again because of forgetting her name, Caine shows some powers limit and decides to give her a new name, that being Pomni. Caine declares a brand new in-house adventure, to help Pomni get used to the place, that being to gather the Gloinks infested in The Tent, small critters that stick to anything they bump into.

    Not long after the adventure starts, Zooble decides to quit it early but gets disjointed and captured by the Gloinks. Back to the rest of the members, Ragatha suggests to go check on Kaufmo with Pomni since he is unaware of the newbie's appearance. Kinger reports of him going insane, rambling of some form of exit like Pomni.

    Pomni herself takes this as a sign that there is an exit with another person talking about it, agreeing to meet Kaufmo to ask him what he knows. After getting hit by a gloink, Jax proclaims he will join Ragatha and Pomni in going to check on Kaufmo, leaving Kinger and Gangle to save Zooble. Ragatha is concerned about them being paired together, but Jax doesn't seem to mind.

    While walking down the hallway of rooms, Ragatha introduces Pomni to their dormitory and quarters where they sleep, but since they aren't human, they don't need human essentials to live on. Pomni asks why they decide to stick around for the adventures instead of attempting to escape, Ragatha responds by saying they often try to at first only to eventually get hit with the fact that there is no escape. Any further obsessing about it just might cause a character to go insane, at which point "something really bad" will happen to them, which traumatizes Pomni.

    They reach Kaufmo's room and, after an aggressive exchange between Ragatha and Jax, open the door to see the just mentioned "really bad" thing has befallen what once was Kaufmo, now horribly disfigured into a monstrous black mass creature with rainbow eyes all over him known as an "abstract." Jax runs away with a bowling ball, leaving Pomni and Ragatha at the mercy of the being, the latter being picken up by Kaufmo and slamming her against the walls, floors, and ceilings. This damages Ragatha to the point of her glitching up, with it spreading to Pomni's hand after the latter tried to help the former out.

    Pomni then runs with Kaufmo chasing after her, though she manages to dodge the monster, which crashes through the railings and chases a Gloink next, allowing Pomni to run back to Ragatha unnoticed. Meanwhile, Kinger and Gangle find where Zooble has gone to, which just so happens to be a giant hole in the ground. When Jax came by to keep a short distance from the beast, he lies about Kaufmo being alright and used the bowling ball he grabbed earlier to knock two through the hole after he heard Kaufmo approaching, quickly joining them afterwards. All three then encounter the Gloink Queen, who Jax insults with an ugly comment. Kinger also finds Zooble's head, but fails at saving it from being devoured by the said queen.

    Back to Pomni, she talks with a glitching Ragatha and they conclude that only Caine can help them. She goes off to find him, opening a bunch of doors leading to random and surreal looking rooms while avoiding a monster Kaufmo on the loose, before finding the exit door which generated out of thin air. She enters the door only to find herself trapped in an almost realistic looking office labyrinth that she gets lost in, a place that is oddly out of place from the more colorful environment she found herself in. The exit door then disappears out of thin air.

    The scene cuts back to the nest, the Gloink Queen expresses her plans to turn anything and everything into Gloinks like herself and the rest of her nest until Kaufmo abrubtly crashes down and begins attacking the Gloink Queen, releasing Zooble and allowing the other characters to leave. Pomni, meanwhile, still tries to find the end of this labyrinth, coming across an old computer along with a rusted out VR headset before going through a door with the logo of a company called "C&A" marked above (presumably the company that developed the game or warping technology). She is then led to the Void and falls into a state of trance by it.

    Caine and Bubble were in a restaurant when Caine sees on his Wacky Watch that someone is now in the void and rushes to take Pomni back to the tent. He is then told by Kinger that Kaufmo became abstracted and casually drops him through a custom made hole that leads him to "The Cellar," a place where those abstracted ended up. Caine then reverts Ragatha's glitched state back to normal. He apologizes for lying about the exit door and that he wasn't capable of thinking on what to put on the other side of it, he warns the group that the Void could be disastrous for them.

    As a reward for finishing their adventure, Bubbles has made them a feast to feel more like they're at home. Pomni, still in awe and disbelief from today, tries to keep her cool as she's about to lose sanity while on the dinner table with the rest. The episode ends as the shot zooms out into the Void and beyond, and finally into the old computer from before (suggesting that the Void might actually be their way out of the circus).

28. #28Ep 2

    Keys: Candy Carrier Chaos!, Episode 2

    The episode (Candy Carrier Chaos!, Episode 2) begins with a scene of Pomni waking up in the middle of The Tent, when suddenly she noticed her heart is beating very fast (despite not trying to make herself nervous or scared) and her arm begins abstracting. Pomni then falls into The Cellar. As she falls, silhouetted versions of Caine, Ragatha, and Jax watch and taunt her. As the darkness envelops Pomni, the episode cuts to her waking up. She falls from her bed and glitches into a block in her room, which launches her upward. Ragatha then knocks on her door, asking how she slept. When Pomni doesn't respond, Ragatha assumes she's still asleep, but right as she is about to leave, Pomni opens the door. Ragatha happily greets her and tells her about a new fun adventure that Caine has planned for this episode.

    The crew meets at the stage to listen to Caine introduce this episode's adventure, "Candy Carrier Chaos!". The Candy Canyon Kingdom has had its most valued resource, maple syrup, stolen by the gummy crocodile bandits, and it's up to the Digital Circus Crew to capture the bandits and return the syrup. Zooble opts out of the adventure, even after Caine mentions he will be testing a more immersive AI within. Caine soon pushes the remaining crew into a portal leading to the Candy Canyon Kingdom.

    The scene then cuts to the crew members sitting on a carriage pulled by a Gummy Elephant. Outside the kingdom, the drawbridge opens for them, and the mannequins standing behind welcome and applaud them. After the ride, they hop out of the carriage and walk closer to the main castle while complimenting how this place is so beautiful. One mannequin accidentally charges at Gangle and knocks her to the ground, letting her mask fall off and break. They tell everyone that the princess is coming. The crowd cheers again while Princess Loolilalu walks out of the castle. She welcomes the group and points up at the artistic window of Caine, saying that they're sent by God. The princess assumes they know about that situation. She informs them that those bandits have a truck that holds the maple syrup. She suggests the group chase them with another truck. Lastly, Princess Loolilalu gives Ragatha a key that can be used to access the kingdom gates and instructs her to keep it in her hands. Jax makes Gangle drive because he doesn't like the sound of the horn. Then the group leaves with the good luck the princess and the mannequin population gave them. The truck leaves the kingdom, and the drawbridge lifts up behind it.

    The bandits on the other side are near a campfire. The boss or yellow bandit (Gummigoo) is looking in the distance with binoculars, while the two other bandits (Chad and Max, respectively) behind him are talking together. Gummigoo sees the truck in the distance and decides to get in their tanker and flee. Later, when both trucks are close, Jax throws Pomni out of the truck, and Pomni's arms get attached to both trucks. Pomni's arms are stretched, but before Jax can cross over to the bandits' truck, Pomni loses her grip and lands on top of the bandits' truck, much to Jax's frustration. The purple bandit sees Pomni and tries to grab her, but can't because his arms are too short. He is then hit by a shoe, shot from a bazooka by Jax, and falls off the truck. Luckily, he manages to catch a rope that was connected to the truck, and later on, he climbs back up. The boss bandit decides to shift the truck's path onto a rocky road. The main truck made it to the rocky road. Later, the crew's truck rams into the bandits' truck. The bandits' truck activates another feature, adding spikes on the side of their truck. Kinger throws an anchor with a very long rope at Pomni, but the rope flies for a long time, causing Jax to ask if the anchor was tied to anything before the rope gets pulled back and pulls the truck over to the bandits' truck. Ragatha is impaled by one of the spikes. While the bandits try to move their truck, it moves both trucks until they collide. The collision made the crew's truck fall down to a fudge river, to which Jax blames Gangle for the wreck, while the other truck along with Pomni gets glitched into the ground, until said glitched truck gets pulled up high into the sky, leaving Max and Chad on the ground while Pomni and Gummigoo clip under the map.

    Gummigoo falls down under the map. He lands in a blue maze, confused, and attempts to find a way out. After a while, he discovers a giant room, which contains every NPC for this adventure. Pomni falls down as he discovers this. Gummigoo begins to question her about why her model isn't standing there and then his existence. Pomni tries to explain to him what he is without sending him spiraling.

    Back at the group, fudge bubbles pop, revealing the group's truck. The Fudge emerges from the river and looks at the truck with surprise. Thinking it was food, he takes the truck and tries to eat it. Ragatha stops The Fudge from eating the group by explaining that they aren't candy. The Fudge politely apologizes and talks about its past. He explained that he had been banished by Princess Loolilalu because he kept eating the mannequins, claiming that it isn't murder if it's delicious. Jax agrees with The Fudge's opinion, much to Ragatha's annoyance. Jax then offers a deal to the fudge, saying that if he helps catch the bandits, he will let him back into the kingdom. As he somehow took the key from Ragatha, suddenly the bandit's tanker crashed into the river, to which Max claims he saw the grim reaper wink at him—all of this to Ragatha's confusion.

    Back under the map, Pomni tries to pry a replica of the syrup tanker with a lollipop, only for it to break. She asks Gummigoo for help, but he doesn't respond. Gummigoo breaks down how his life is fake and that he never really had a mother. Pomni counsels him and talks him into staying in the circus with her. They both get in the tanker and glitch back onto the map by colliding with replica blocks.

    Back on the map, The Fudge carries the tanker and circus crew back to the kingdom, and Jax explains his disappointment about the adventure, thinking it would have extreme violence and blood. Max and Chad, who are both tied up, explain to Ragatha that Pomni and Gummigoo just disappeared. Kinger says if they don't find Pomni in time, Caine will have to find her. Ragatha expresses her worries that Pomni is having another horrible experience like the last adventure and that she doesn't like her. Kinger says it's a lot for everyone to go through, like when Ragatha first joined the circus.

    The replica tanker with Pomni and Gummigoo shoots out of the ground and lands right into The Fudge, flattening him. Pomni and Gummigoo end up vomiting after the impact. A concerned Ragatha goes up to Pomni, asking if she's alright, to which she says yes and that she and Gummigoo are friends. Gummigoo hugs Max and Chad, happy to see them again. Jax expresses all of his disappointment again about the adventure, and Ragatha informs him that there might be violence and blood in the next adventure. The rest of the crew sees an another tanker, which also is full of maple syrup. Gummigoo asks the crew if his bandits can take that tanker back to their village. Ragatha agrees that it's no problem if there are two of them.

    The crew returns the tanker to the kingdom, Princess Loolilalu thanks them for returning the syrup, and she opens the portal back to the circus, where she thinks Gummigoo will be executed. A large explosion is heard, and Jax realizes he didn't leave the gate unlocked for nothing, letting The Fudge back into the kingdom. To Ragatha's concern and confusion because she thought he was dead, Princess Loolilalu asks Jax what he did, but only for the crew to enter the portal back into the circus as The Fudge is heard attacking the mannequins.

    Caine welcomes the crew back; he notices Gummigoo and immediately deletes him, much to Pomni's confusion and dismay. Caine claims that if he loses track of who's human and NPC, something bad could happen. Once again, she begins to softly, but crazily laugh as Caine goes away to drink water. Zooble appears again and is relieved to see Caine has left. Ragatha tries and fails to comfort Pomni by bringing up the fact that Caine sometimes reuses NPC’s. She asks Pomni if she'd like to attend Kaufmo's funeral, as it's the least she can do to honor his memory. Hearing this, Jax is briefly saddened before he walks off annoyed. The entire group (excluding Jax) is shown later at his funeral, each talking about how much Kaufmo meant to them (dialogue was inaudible), and Pomni begins to see that she has friends to take care of her, and she feels a little more relaxed about the circus.

29. #29Ep 3

    Keys: The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor, Episode 3

    The episode (episode 3, The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor) opens with the characters surrounding Pomni, who's attempting to hold her breath, but being unsuccessful. Jax reminds her they can't die from asphyxiation, despite it feeling the same, as he wants to see what Pomni does when she holds it for long enough. Ragatha and Kinger try to give positive encouragement as Pomni reattempts. She ends up having her face change colours in a speed increasing hue shift. Jax explains different things happen to everyone who holds their breath for long periods - Kinger glows, Ragatha's hair sticks up, Gangle's mask spins, and Zooble "turns straight", Zooble tries to correct him, saying their limbs simply straighten, before flipping him off. Jax refuses to show what happens to him, as he asks "the viewers" what they think it is - while looking at nothing, annoying Zooble.

    Caine flies into the gang's time, wondering why they aren't getting ready for the day's adventure. He reveals The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor - a mansion filled with paranormal activity, where the cast has to solve mysteries and capture ghosts. Before announcing more, Caine notices Zooble is once again absent from the cast, panicking as he made the adventure "really cool and mature" for them. Though they are still no where to be found, causing Caine to freeze in place, and Bubble to speak backwards while flying from the bottom of the screen to the top. Pomni questions if the NPCs will become self-aware again because she knew what happened last time, to which Caine is unsure, despite being the boss. He then opens the portal to the adventure.

    The five venture into the mansion, with Ragatha wondering how scary it will be. Pomni just hopes it won't be a terrible nightmare, as she hates horror and jumpscares. After saying this, Jax jumpscares her by saying "boo", laughing at how timid it was. Ragatha shuts him down over, telling him about the rough times she's had. Jax comments everyone's had rough times. Gangle and the rest hear odd laughter coming from the doors as a ghostly silhouette enters, laughing at them. Pomni's eyes launch out of her sockets in fear, as the now cute ghost, Ghostly, introduces himself as their guide for the day. Pomni's eyes cartoonishly bug out and fall to the ground, though still attached to her eye-sockets. She picks them up, questioning why they won't go back in. Kinger reminisces on his first "wild take", though also doesn't know why the eyes won't retract.

    Ghostly advises the group to choose which door to go through: the "normal door" - which is labeled as rated WOW for all ages. Otherwise, they can go through the "scary door" - which is labeled as rated AAAAA for "mature Zoobles" only. Before Ghostly can further speak, Jax sucks him into a vacuum. He comments that he thought they were supposed to capture all the ghosts when Ragatha shouts at him for it. Gangle asks him which door they should choose as Kinger continues to try and help Pomni, to which Jax grabs Gangle's comedy mask off her face and throws it into the scary door, which turns into a giant, monstrous mouth and swallows it, upsetting Gangle. Kinger rushes into the nearly opened passageway to retrieve it, not noticing he's still holding onto Pomni's eye, dragging her down with him. The remaining three look on mostly in horror, as Jax is happy he found which door was the scary one.

    Meanwhile, Caine is flying around the circus tent, calling out for Zooble, wanting to talk to them. He remembers he can snap Zooble to him, which he ends up doing, Zooble questioning if he could have done that the entire time. Caine wants to figure out why they keep skipping his adventures, claiming they could hurt Bubble's feelings. When Zooble asks about this, Caine asks about their feelings and snaps in a therapy room, Caine acting as the therapist. Zooble is reluctant to do this, but Caine insists. Zooble reveals they have already told Caine the reason they don't go on adventures, but he never remembers. Caine claims he wouldn't forget, asking what he can do to fix his adventures. Zooble tells him adventures are all he thinks about, which is nothing to do with the problem. They realize Caine isn't even listening, instead opting to show Zooble a cool bee he drew.

    Kinger and Pomni emerge from the "scary door" into a new room, finding a room with creepy heads of all the circus members, and a weird 7th character. Kinger finds a tape player, which plays audio from Baron Mildenhall, who specialized in hunting, which went from a hobby to an obsession. The 7th head is a creature he had been hunting for years, which isn't a man nor an animal. Baron wanted to protect his family and kill the creature, wanting to be freed from an awful feeling. He says he wasn't freed, before the tape stops, to which Kinger comments he's "starting to think". Pomni suggests they try to find the other three again, though being unsuccessful on their first door having a brick wall behind it. Kinger finds a dumbwaiter they could possibly ride up, though it's locked, making Pomni go slightly crazy.

    The next room they find has missing posters, photos and tapes. Kinger finds another tape player to play, scaring Pomni. On Tuesday December 4th, Baron had shot the creature multiple times in its weak spots and decapitated it, keeping its head on his wall. Even in his apparent victory, the problems had only started. He took his eyes off the body for a minute, and the body disappeared - as the creature was not dead and would return to claim what was taken. He advises anyone listening to not let the head out of their sight. Kinger looks back to see that the head is indeed gone, calling it some inconvenient lore placement. Pomni finds the key to their possible exit, just before the lights go off, Kinger calling it inconvenient darkness, scaring Pomni by grabbing her and poking her eyes. He screams at a funny then unfunny joke, then suggests the two of them should hold onto each other and go back to the trophy room, which Pomni agrees to. As they make it back in, they hear creaking noises. Kinger advises they should be quiet not to attract anything, to which Pomni agrees to again, commenting on his tendency to be "hit and miss". The silence goes on until a fly comes in and Kinger attempts swatting it. When he manages to kill it, a head monster appears behind the two and screams at them. Kinger asks the monster to "speak up" before Pomni yells at him to run for the dumbwaiter. She desperately tries to unlock the doors with the key. Kinger recognizes the creature as the one from the tapes, as it opens its mouth widely in Kinger's face. He enters a dazed state and comments how beautiful "honey" looks. Pomni unlocks the door and manages to drag Kinger out of his state and into the dumbwaiter. Though it doesn't go up as they expected, and instead slowly goes down.

    Back in the therapy room, Caine yells at Zooble that he does not use his adventures to torture his guests, any torment is an accident like "a good war criminal". Zooble yells back that they weren't talking about that, they couldn't care less for the adventures. Caine asks what their problem is then, not being able to remember. Zooble sighs, and proceeds to confess that to them, they're the problem, as they don't like themselves, their body and their removable joints, not being able to find anything that feels fitting. Caine happily states the reason he couldn't remember is because the problem is "already solved" with the Zooble Box - letting Zooble swap out their body part at will. However, Zooble voices that they've been unsuccessful in finding any parts they like since they arrived. Cain ignores this altogether, and pivots back to the adventure topic. A frustrated Zooble tells Caine no one likes his adventures. It's just that everyone goes on them for other reasons. Ragatha doesn't like saying no, Jax likes to with everyone, Gangle's too shy to refuse, Kinger's insane, and Pomni looks too traumatized to speak after everyone. Caine questions how he could be bad at doing the one thing he's designed to do - the one thing he's supposed to good at. He begins to silently break down, making the therapy room glitch as he loses it. Zooble asks whose therapy session this is in a panic. This snaps Caine back to his old self, and he goes right back to finding the root Zooble's "behavioral" issues, calming the room down, but still annoying Zooble greatly.

    Pomni and Kinger crash into another dark room - some kind of cellar with a corpse holding a gun. The next tape player reveals how bad things had become. Baron got so paranoid he wasn't the protector his family needed, instead becoming scared at everything. He ended up shooting his wife, as he mistook her for the creature, he finds this ironic, now becoming the monster. He waited in his cellar, having nothing to protect, but wanting to slay the beast that took his sanity and his wife. Kinger suggests they take the deceased Baron's gun, Pomni agrees as she runs over to the body. She begs it not to come to life. Humorously, it agrees to stay dead, as Pomni takes it, weirded out. Kinger realizes the gun has two shots, wanting to make them count. The body of the monster then crawls up into the room in front of the two, as the head comes behind them, making Kinger use both his shots to eliminate both. When Kinger comments the ordeal wasn't so bad, the tape from Mildenhall says it's what he would be saying if he didn't know the creature was one of God's angels. Anyone who brings harm to them will be brought to hell. The bodies emerge, as Mildenhall apologizes, needing a host to escape the hall of the damned. Kinger questions how this was recorded if he was in hell, before arms grab the two and drag them down into hell. The tape player comments their next breaths in hell will be their last, forfeiting their bodies. Pomni curses out the adventure before the two are fully submerged into the ground.

    Meanwhile, Ragatha and Gangle are sitting with a ghostly woman, Martha Mildenhall, drinking tea. Ragatha apologizes to the woman about her husband killing her. She dismisses it, knowing how men are with having silly priorities. Ragatha agrees with this, looking at a tied up Jax. Martha hopes that the three's friends won't get bored of his endless monologues if they do run into him, as he could turn a less than a minute story into a tragedy. Ragatha makes sure to ask them, after thanking Martha for the tea again, the ghost saying they can come back anytime. The three have managed to complete the "PACIFIST ROUTE", but they have to wait for Kinger and Pomni before they can go. Gangle wonders how long they'll be waiting.

    Kinger and Pomni sit in a not-so-typical rendition of hell, which Kinger comments on. Pomni is still freaked out that they are literally in hell. She starts to panic and yells to herself, Kinger reassures her that Caine should have included an exit, calming her slightly. The two look around, finding a foggy corridor. Kinger stops Pomni from walking through while he sees tiny ghost silhouettes occupying the fog. He suggests he tries something, which is to take his left eye off and throw it into the corridor, finding stairs at the other side of it. He still worries about walking through it, while Pomni just runs for it. Pomni soon gets possessed, having her body morph and her eyes glow orange. Kinger grabs her and hits her with the butt of the gun to scare the spirits out. The possessed jester asks Kinger how his wife is before Pomni gasps for air and breaks down. Kinger assumes the souls just want a vessel to leave with, and sighs that seven years of computer science lead to this. Pomni concludes that Caine just wants her to suffer, claiming she really is in hell. Kinger suggests they relax while nothing is chasing them. Pomni continues crying as the chess piece apologizes for leading them down this path, prompting her to ask him why he's been acting so differently.

    Kinger realizes he has, not really being good with memories, but that darkness brings him back to the time where his wife, Queenie, had just abstracted. He doesn't remember everything that happened but it lead the two to the pillow fort. The fort was dark, but it calmed the abstracted being down, smoothing out her edges and removing her aggressiveness, and allowing Kinger to comfort her one last time before Caine took her to the cellar. When questioned, he describes her as funny, creative, into entomology, being the reason Kinger now loves bugs. Despite it not being the most cheerful memory, Kinger has control over it. He tells Pomni that the circus can feel pointless, but that if you have people that care about you, it's not, and that you should hold onto good people and memories, as they can do a lot. And they can be gone at any time. The worst thing he thinks you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved. Pomni smiles and tells Kinger she's glad he's here. They sit in silence for a few seconds, until Kinger recalls the last tape, thinking they can get through if they don't breathe, not thinking about it being able to get past Pomni's inability to hold her breath very well. Pomni realizes that when they leave, he'll go back to being crazy, and won't remember anything, Kinger reassures her that as long as she remembers, it will be fine, telling her she's very strong. The two hold hands as he keeps motivating her, and they inhale, entering the corridor. Pomni looks around, and has her face change colours again, while Kinger glows, just as Jax said.

    The two make it back to the rest of the group, Ragatha asking if they're okay. Pomni says they're fine, before the two get startled at the tied up Jax, though Ragatha tells them not to worry. Kinger tells everyone how brave Pomni was, before second guessing himself, going back to insanity. The jester takes the chance to thank Ragatha for being concerned about her. Ragatha also thanks her for the praise, just wanting to make sure she's alright. Gangle asks the two if they remembered her comedy mask, to which the two forgot - and Kinger loudly swears with a censor.

    In the circus tent, Caine has somehow become the patient, with Zooble being the therapist, and Bubble wearing Caine's hat. Caine questions if the Wild West theme for an adventure was a direction. He then snaps back to his normal self, realizing everyone made it back, telling Zooble to pretend they weren't doing therapy. Zooble is confused as they just throw the notebook away. The five walk in as Caine welcomes them back as meowing milkmaids, confusing everyone, and disgusting Jax greatly, who says to never call them that again. Pomni watches Kinger re-enter his pillow fort while the others walk off in their own directions, as Jax asks her what it was like being stuck with "the nutcase". She surprises him by saying it wasn't that bad as she lightly smiles. Jax looks confused, before rolling his eyes and walking off.

    Keys: Fast Food Masquerade, Episode 4 · Secondary:

    The episode (Fast Food Masquerade, Episode 4) starts with Ragatha teaching Gangle how to pitch a softball, with Jax as the batter. After some encouragement from Ragatha and bored attitude from Jax, Gangle throws the softball, only for Jax to accidentally bat it into her mask, breaking it. While Ragatha and Jax argue, Zooble approaches Gangle to show her a plastic mask they found, highly resembling the masks Gangle wears.

    She puts it on, telling Zooble that she feels normal, in a good way. She thanks them just before Pomni, Jax and Ragatha walk in and Caine appears and introduces the day's adventure as "The Curse of the Violent Psychopath Butcher". Before he can continue, Pomni interrupts, asking if they can back off the horror, due to the last adventure. Caine sarcastically suggests they give him some better ideas, to which Zooble corrects him by saying they do in a suggestion box; Caine apparently just forgot it existed.

    The AI pulls it out of a wall and reads some of the suggestions out loud. Consisting of "hitting Zooble like a pinata" and "Jax staying silent for the whole adventure", Gangle asks for a more normal adventure, to which Caine finds a suggestion of working at a fast food restaurant. Gangle approves of this, and is thus given the job of shift manager at the new adventure of "An Honest Hard Days Work at Spudsy's Restaurant Chain".

    Zooble once again attempts to sit out on the adventure, much to Caine's frustration. However, Kinger, under the assumption that there is a limit as to who can participate, offers to sit out if it means Zooble is able to take his place. A perplexed Zooble tries to reject this notion, but Caine, eager to have them on board, rolls with the logic and presses a button that sends them down a trap door. Gangle is feeling up to the adventure, having been a shift manager at some point in the past. Caine opens the portal for the remaining four members to enter through, with Jax slipping on a puddle along the way.

    Entering Spudsy's and now wearing their uniforms, the group get ready to work. Gangle tries to get everyone started and tests all the machines. Jax immediately throws Ragatha in the deep-fryer, daring Gangle to do something about it; she calls upper-management, which is in fact Caine, asking if bad employees could have a punishment at the end of the day. Caine agrees, as this will bring motivation to the adventure. When questioned by a slightly panicked Jax as to why she would do that, Gangle gives him a list of jobs as she leaves in a jovial manner.

    In the breakfast rush, Pomni is greeted by the first customer: Orbsman, an NPC from a previous adventure Pomni was not in. Jax comments on his dislike for Orbsman, to which Gangle criticizes him for. A female mannequin NPC comes up to the counter, she orders the Stupid Burger and tells Pomni that last time that she ordered it, they forgot to put the Stupid Sauce (which makes you stupid), Pomni asks the mannequin if that's on the menu, to which the mannequin tells her that yes and that she orders it all the time, adding that she's addicted. Ragatha goes to prepare the meal, but gets some of the sauce in her eye and she starts to hallucinate, seeing a creepy looking Gangle. Ragatha is now in a high-like state.

    Upon noticing Zooble working at the grill, Jax comments how odd it is that they're actually participating in the adventure despite their cynicism. Zooble refutes by saying they want to avoid whatever punishment Caine has planned and backs it up by saying the only reason he actively doesn't hurt them on purpose is because he likes them. Meanwhile, Pomni unexpectedly runs into Gummigoo and his friends, Max and Chad, while at the counter, none of whom recognize her. A panicked and stammering Pomni lets them sit down before crawling over to the trio's table. Gummigoo notices her and, confused, asks if she's okay; Pomni merely claims she just wanted to say "hi", though she's obviously saddened by the fact that he doesn't remember her. Gangle learns of this from an intoxicated Ragatha, which she words as "flirting with the gummy guy". The manager yells at Pomni to get back to work. Pomni tries to have more time with him, but a manic Gangle keeps pushing, having a cracking sound appear from her mask.

    The lunch rush starts. A livid Jax goes to the drive-thru and sees the Gloink Queen, accompanied by Gloinks, come up to the window, questioning what it is. A mannequin hogs the front of the restaurant line, instead eating cereal. Though it and the other mannequins behind are shortly eaten by the Gloink Queen, who orders 300 cheeseburgers.

    As Pomni questions this, she spots the gummy gators leaving and requests a second, leaving a mannequin to get beaten up by the Gloinks. The queen demands them to stop as Ragatha giddily leans on the counter asking if all the Gloinks have names. The queen confirms her theory, saying she would be a terrible mother if they did not. Ragatha thinks of this as beautiful. Pomni tries to speak to Gummigoo one more time, but sees his confused face, and instead opts to wish him a good day. He wishes her one back as the two part ways.

    Gangle requests Jax to clean the bathroom. Jax repeatedly rejects her pushes for him to be a model and positive employee, saying she is better when she is sad. This causes another cracking sound to come from Gangle. She suggests, after a long pause, that he just needs more training. A big hand grabs Jax and takes him into a dark room with a TV. The TV starts to play a Spudsy's Instructional Employee Training video.

    On the video, Gangle says that it was cool to have dreams, like being a manga artist, but those were completely unrealistic and that working at fast food chains can be the better option. Gangle then asks if the viewer was smiling, to which Jax says he is not. Gangle loses her smile and coldly asks "Why not?". Suddenly, a chair and four hands grab Jax and put his face near the screen. Gangle then states that it was time for reevaluation, and the screen starts to flicker two masks, one happy and one sad. Jax is completely bewildered.

    Zooble is working as normal, but Ragatha is still disoriented, having only made five or six burgers out of 300. Gangle is requested by the former for help, who is mad about paint being huffed outside of breaks. Ragatha challenges Gangle's authority, ignoring her concern and attempted motivation, eventually flat-out calling her annoying with the happy mask, causing Gangle's mask to crack once more, deciding to opt for a time out and asking Zooble to help Ragatha instead.

    A hand sends a perplexed Jax back to the drive-thru, patting him on the head. He walks to see the time still at 12pm, yelling at Gangle that it is probably broken. The saddened Gangle questions if it is just the clock or if everyone is broken. An annoyed Jax witnesses her spiral into anxious insanity, but when her watch ends up beeping for the next hour, It turns out the clock is, in fact, broken.

    Finally the dinner rush starts, as Pomni waves the Gloink family goodbye. An exhausted Jax sees the inebriated Ragatha spread out on the floor, who greets him weirdly when he asks her to move. He decides that she must be drunk before stepping over her and flopping onto the counter next to Pomni, asking how she is doing. She is surprised by his genuine conversation starter, saying she is doing fine. Jax wishes he could agree as Gangle calls him over once more to do dishes, causing him to bid Pomni a friendly farewell, much to her confusion. Customers are met with satisfaction as Gangle steps outside to take off her new mask and screams into her arms.

    She does not notice until after that Pomni was in the same area, who asks about her well being. Gangle sits down on the pavement, commenting that her comedy mask is "usually broken by now". Pomni tries to reassure her, asking if she has talked to someone about her issues, such as Ragatha. Gangle brushes that off, saying it is hard to tell if Ragatha is genuine. Before any more suggestions, the mask is put back on as Gangle then explains that they should not be talking about their feelings all night, and awkwardly laughs, going back into the restaurant and leaving Pomni alone.

    Jax waits for 9pm to hit, before deciding to "clock out", waving the saddened Gangle off and sitting in a car labelled with his name. Zooble comes to see Gangle, saying that they will probably need to drive Ragatha back. Gangle tells them Ragatha will get off in an hour, so all four decide to stick around. Eventually, Zooble leaves with Ragatha, while Gangle had not moved in that time, severely depressed and delusional in the quiet and dark kitchen. Gangle appears to begin to lose her sanity until Pomni calls her back to reality, offering to close up the restaurant instead. After being reassured that it is okay, Gangle leaves.

    Gangle dejectedly stands near the chain's doors, looking up at the starry sky. She takes off her new mask and throws it away, being able to weakly smile and run in slow-mo under a street lamp. While dancing under the said lamp with her eyes closed, she unintentionally trips on a curve and falls into oncoming traffic. She is then suddenly sent into an office with Caine as he gives her a performance review.

    He calls the day productive, but comments on her mistakes. Theoretically, Gangle could push the blame onto everyone else to dodge point docks, but Gangle rejects the offer, saying she just cracked under pressure. Her score is knocked down to a B+, having nothing to say for herself. Caine takes this as a positive thing and sticks her photo and score onto the board with everyone else (including Kinger) before sending her off.

    Back in the circus tent, Pomni, Ragatha, Jax and Kinger are sitting together while Gangle has isolated herself with her drawings. Zooble finds her and reassures her of people still wanting to talk to her. They brush off the new mask not working, saying something will work eventually. Gangle wipes her tear, saying she does not deserve Zooble, as the two walk to rejoin the group.

31. #31Ep 5

    Gangle, Kinger, Jax, Pomni and Ragatha return to the circus after an underwater adventure while Zooble is on the couch reading a magazine, with Gangle putting back on her broken happy mask. Pomni falls to the ground making Ragatha assure her she's sure the next adventure will be less 'wet', and Kinger asks the ragdoll for help counting eggs before they hatch. Pomni notices an NPC in the distance. As things calm down, Caine approaches Zooble, thinking of ideas for new adventures. Zooble remarks sarcastically about the last adventure's success, which makes Caine angry but then snap into saying criticism is greatly appreciated.

    He then shifts focus to a pitch meeting, dragging everyone besides Zooble to the sofas, where he presents new concepts for some new adventures to the group. One is where they tour his magic chocolate factory and get killed by various OSHA violations. Another one is a war between a sentient cardiovascular system and the United States military. Another one has the group survive in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland with a mean telepathic talking dog.

    Gangle's mask breaks at the ideas, and Ragatha thinks it all sounds dark. Hearing this, Caine rejects an idea without any darkness, therefore stakes, and Bubble thinks there would be no sex appeal, confusing Caine. Zooble suggests reviewing ideas from the suggestion box instead. Caine is surprised that not everyone disliked the idea. Pomni and Zooble are open to it, finding having an adventure based in reality relatively fine, while the others are less than enthusiastic. Caine snaps back to being angry at their opinions being split. Zooble leaves another suggestion of adventures being open at all times, making the AI himself 'whisper' to Bubble about this meaning the other intelligent AIs will be left running for a prolonged period of time. He tries to zip Zooble's mouth shut when they reveal they can hear him, only to fail because Zooble doesn't have a mouth. Caine finally settles on an idea - a Lightning Round - where they go all the suggested ideas in rapid succession, offering skips to the more disliked ideas. Pomni tries to object to the Lightning Round being right now straight after the last adventure, but Caine opens the portal anyways and sucks them all in.

    First, they are sent to one of Jax's adventures: Poacher's Paradise. Where Jax is of course a poacher and introduces the hypothetical audience to an episode of Poach Everything, hunting the critically endangered red ribbon rhinoceros, which is Gangle in a rhinoceros shape. He shoots her, dismantling her ribbons and making 'Nice Shot' appear on the screen. Jax chews on the ribbons aggressively, enjoying how tasty it is. Zooble, now a flamingo, finds annoyance in this and calls a vote to skip. Everyone agrees, and also instates the rule of Jax being vegan for the rest of the day. The now vegan comments on democracy sucking before they are sent to Jax's other adventure: President Pomni.

    Pomni questions her leading role which was given to her on Jax's request. After Zooble once again gets annoyed, they and Ragatha are Pomni's guards while Kinger shows the president new developments of the Australia and New Zealand war. He asks her on the topic of refugees, prompting a confused response. After Ragatha's reassurance, Kinger pulls Pomni aside to show that they all got briefs on their characters, him being her assistant. Jax then yells that he didn't give Pomni a brief because he thought seeing what she would do would be fun. Said Jax later comes in the door, breaking past Zooble, as an Australian extremist with a spider spreading bomb he plans to detonate. Seeing Kinger and Pomni peek from under the desk, he asks if this is a bad time to the camera, prompting canned laughter. Caine comments on his 'phenomenal acting' and unbelievable veganism while watching all of this with Bubble. The panicking jester is deactivating the bomb by trying to cut wires, with the normal reassurance from Ragatha and mocking from Jax, who reveals centipedes are in the bomb too. She asks which wire she should cut, getting bad suggestions all around. During this, Gangle comes in with a bomb strapped to her chest as a New Zealand extremist who doesn't know what New Zealanders threaten people with. Her bomb blows up, prompting an intermission.

    Bubble flies in front of the camera and makes a distorted noise before leaving, introducing an anime school slice of life intro with the six circus members. Jax immediately complains, getting Ragatha to tell him to give it a chance, while Zooble is at least relieved they have an adventure by someone else, reassuring Gangle there's nothing wrong with her suggestion. Gangle gets flustered that Zooble figured out she suggested it. Though his gossip friend snaps back by commenting that he threw her out of a moving truck. Kinger as the teacher introduces 'English' in Japanese. Jax wants to vote to skip the adventure, being shut down immediately until he reminds Gangle of something she did with an anime figure, then making her agree that they can skip from embarrassment.

    They are then taken to the circus grounds at 'night', stargazing. Pomni is relieved they can finally relax, with Jax preferring some stakes. Kinger, Zooble and Gangle are enjoying a picnic, inspiring Jax to ask Pomni if she thinks Gangle is capable of being happy, due to her comedy mask breaking everyday. This perplexes Pomni, until Ragatha comes over to point out Jax's mean nature. While he makes his classic response, Pomni is surprised that he actually cares about what Gangle likes. He looks empathetic, but quickly brushes it off. She questions his friend quantity, Ragatha 'whispering' to her 'not anymore'. This strikes something in Jax, making him look back at her lividly. She tries to apologize in a panicked state, but gives up on the awkward situation and goes to Kinger. Pomni, now a third wheel, questions the situation, Jax is quick to dismiss it and somewhat solemnly for him asks if Ragatha gets on her nerves sometimes, as she tries way too hard to be nice and optimistic to everyone despite their situation. He takes all of this behavior as her trying to take advantage of them. After pausing for some self reflection, he jumps right back to being snarky, calling her dumb and weird. Pomni thinks the weirdness applies to everyone, though he disagrees, calling his appearance, especially his ears and tail 'peak male performance'. His chatting partner comments he doesn't have a tail, leading to him realizing the same of his tail being missing since at least Pomni got here.

    Caine is watching them from afar with the moon, both of them commenting how they look happy. The moon tries to suggest they do something before Caine realizes it's a 'bad thing', then Bubble goofily asks why it is a bad thing, to which Caine panics that they're enjoying the suggestion box adventures more than his adventures. Bubble comments he should die, but cuts to saying he should throw a 'f[%$!#]ing' beach party. Caine is angrily outstanded that Bubble can swear now, and sends everyone to an Intermission Time, which shows flashy animations of all the characters, and of Caine presenting himself in a godly manner. It ends with Jax running through a corridor of their rooms, ending up at a door of a frog crossed out and abstracted eyes surrounding the border. Caine snaps out of the intermission sequence when Zooble interrupts him with sheer confusion, leaving Caine to freeze cross-eyed and Bubble to send them to their next adventure.

    Their next suggestion adventure is set in a bar, with Zooble as the bartender. Jax requests a whisky sour walking in, having to hold the egg white due to his veganism. Jax is annoyed, asking how it's even possible because he "thought Caine couldn't-" before cutting himself off. Zooble attends to his order, commenting they could have made it way worse for him, making him want to turn them into a slug via a vote, though being rejected by everyone. Caine suddenly at the bar announces the rejection, tiring Jax's patience as he gets his drink. Ragatha and Kinger make it into the bar, announcing their orders of a cosmopolitan and a corncob blitz respectively. Pomni compliments Zooble's alcohol knowledge, revealing it was their suggestion as one of their previous jobs was at a bar, and they enjoyed it. Jax comments it's fitting for them, but Zooble can't be asked to figure out the implication. He shifts to asking Pomni if she was old enough to have any jobs. Being 25, she obviously did, being a supermarket chain accountant. Due to the tameness of this job, she often got bored of it and seeked out mild thrills, like exploring abandoned buildings and posting about it, despite getting no views. She didn't mind this though, as it was for her. Zooble relates to thrill seeking, but didn't record it, offering Ragatha her drink. Jax makes fun of Zooble for hiding something, making Zooble question his backstory, only for his was quickly shut down by Zooble, as they knew what Jax's fake story was referencing.

    They ask Gangle next - she worked in fast food, and was in community college for graphic design but dropped out, not pursuing her art after that. Zooble offers to make art with Gangle, impressing Ragatha that they have the art skills too. Zooble reveals a second part of their past - being a tattoo artist for a couple of years. Jax does his classic jabbing at Zooble, only bringing confusion of what he even means, to which he answers fun, forgetting Zooble apparently hates it, Zooble saying fun isn't what they hate. Ragatha takes her turn to talk about her past, being born into a wealthy family with horses and chickens on a large property, though her mother was 'a lot'. She worked in real estate for some time until ending up in the circus, concluding her mom likely doesn't miss her, and that she doesn't miss the verbal abuse she did. When noticing everyone's concerned expressions, she quickly sips her drink and summarizes the experience as being an average farm girl. Jax looks worryingly for a second before announcing there's no point in asking Kinger about his life due to him likely not remembering enough to share. Pomni asks if they know about his wife Queenie, confusing Jax and even confusing Kinger who panics at the mention of him having a wife, before being offered his drink.

    A mannequin with a hat walks into the bar, trying to say hello before quickly disappearing. Zooble introduces him to Pomni as Disappearing Guy from a previous adventure, who just does that. Jax shames Pomni over her lack of knowledge before smugly looking at Zooble, prompting the latter to ignore him. He turns to smugly apologizing to Pomni about the president adventure, just thinking it would be funny. Pomni, more perplexed than ever before, questions but then accepts the apology. Jax wraps his arm around her, being 'excited' about the first steps of a budding friendship. When asked about it by him, Ragatha looks at him with a surprised face. She awkwardly gets the attention of Pomni, trying to make the moment of abstracted Kaufmo bashing her into the walls as a comical moment, only to realize it was likely actually traumatic for the jester. Jax reminds her of getting high at the fast food adventure and telling Gangle to "kill herself", finding that amusing. Ragatha rejects the notion of her saying that, only to apologize to Gangle about it, she would never say it if not influenced. Jax wants Ragatha to be mean sometimes, Zooble taking it as him reiterating that torturing Gangle is funny. He thinks they take the place way too seriously. Zooble, at their limit, puts corn next to Jax, revealing his apparent fear of it, despite his rejection of his fear. Caine soon announces he's bored and goes on to the next adventure as Zooble tells him that he's not apart of this adventure.

    They are sent to a softball stadium, with Caine and Bubble as the commentators in the adventure Good Ol' Fashioned Softball. The circus cast is the Big Tops, playing against the Evil Big Tops - who are color and personality changes of the cast, except Gangle, who is replaced with a recolored Orbsman. They all introduce themselves, as Ragatha is confused at this being in her suggestion, and Gangle not even having an evil clone. Caine introduces a special guest to sing the American national anthem. The guest turns out to be Disappearing Guy, who disappears at the second note, receiving applause anyways, majority from a large centipede which scares Ragatha. Kinger tries to motivate the team as team captain - despite not knowing what, who, when, or why is going on, he knows where is going on - on the field, wanting them to break some tailbones. Evil Jax comes to shyly wish them all a fun game, Jax already wants to kill him. Ragatha is up to bat first, being laughed at by her evil self. Bazooble serves the ball, which Ragatha hits right into Evil Pomni's hands, proclaiming her out, causing Ragatha to throw her hat at the ground, annoyed. Jax finds he gets along with Evil Pomni, as they both enjoy ridiculing Ragatha. A vote soon comes up, to Jax's surprise, with 3/5 people agreeing (with Jax and Pomni disagreeing) . This vote was to put Jax in a maid dress, which won. He gets enraged at this, chasing Gangle when he finds out it was her idea. He's interrupted when he's told he's up to bat, trying to protest it. Zooble thought he'd be into this, throwing his statement of him hating fun back at him. Jax continues to be enraged about having to wear the dress, Zooble commenting this is the most upset they've seen him. Kinger insists he bats, which he regrettably agrees, promising to kill Zooble when this is all over. Bazooble talks to Jax in a goofy voice, annoying him, while Evil Jax tries to compliment his look, making the 'good' counterpart wish death upon him. He bats, but hits the ball into the centipede in the audience, who soon consumes it. Jax shrugs the game off as having no more ball. Kinger tries to use one of his eyes as a ball, but then takes one of Zooble's balls as a perfect softball size. He tries to give it to Bazooble, who only derply attaches it onto their head. Jax gives up, despite Kinger's protests.

    Ragatha laments how she hit the ball, but apologizes to Pomni for her bad nature. Pomni tells her she indirectly agrees with Jax, about that it's okay to show negative emotions, and that everyone needs to be a jerk sometimes. Ragatha answers somewhat hesitant to this. Zooble requests a ball from Caine, who supplies one. They invite Jax back over to pitch, who says bye to Evil Pomni before obliging. He purposely misses when served and gets out, then being interested when Gangle is up to bat, asking the jester's opinion on how her serve will go (not noticing Zooble place an ear of corn on the bench beside him). Ragatha partially snaps and asks Jax to stop trying to get Pomni to act like him, saying that making her be happy all the time would at least be better than turning her into a jerk. Pomni tries to knock them both down by saying she can think for herself. Jax rejects the assumption that he's forcing his ideals onto her, causing Ragatha to get at him for pretending everyone likes him when he actually just ruins everything. Pomni tries to calm everyone down, only for Ragatha to remind her of her saying this behavior is alright sometimes. She once again apologizes for her bad nature, being accepted. She begrudgingly apologies to Jax for the situation, and for bringing up his lack of friends earlier, causing him to wipe his smug look off his face. He rejects Pomni's request to talk about that, as he's in a maid outfit, before being jumpscared by corn again. Ragatha asks Kinger how the game is going, who comments Gangle did a home run. Gangle awkwardly thanks Ragatha for her instructions.

    Zooble is next up to bat, asking for their eye back. Bazooble has already forgotten about it before serving. Zooble hits the ball straight into their evil counterpart, Caine concluding it as a home run, making Coach Dictatorer rage. Zooble accepts the outcome and walks off. Pomni is next to bat, but asks Ragatha if she wants to go as a second chance. Ragatha accepts and walks onto the field to bat, only to find nothing happening. Caine takes this as yet another home run, and the Big Tops win. Ragatha questions the legitimacy of this, but Caine doesn't follow the rules and pronounces them done. Evil Ragatha and Evil Pomni are angry over their loss, annoyed that they didn't get to bat. Ragatha looks back at Jax, seeing him and Pomni continue bonding with each other, before being lifted up by a joyful Kinger over the team winning. Gangle and Zooble also congratulate the team. Jax is reverted back to his regular outfit, realizing he's not a vegan and racing off. He pounces onto a confused Evil Jax and treats him like he treated the red ribbon rhinoceros. Kinger asks 'what is going on'. Pomni finds amusement in this, but stops showing it when looked at by Ragatha.

    All the members come back through the portal into the circus tent, as Caine hopes they learned that his adventures are better than the suggestion box ideas. Zooble and Pomni agree that some adventures were okay, and Jax liked his ones. He tells Pomni he can show her something he was talking about in the hall, to which she agrees, making them walk off one way, and Zooble, Kinger and Gangle walk off the other. Ragatha is left alone, and solemnly walks her own way. Secretly, a strange mannequin was watching everything from behind a wall, walking away shortly after.
