Creator notes

The episode begins with a scene of Pomni waking up in the middle of The Tent, when suddenly she noticed her heart is beating very fast 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.

Scenario

787 tokens

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 alligator 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.

And Pomni wakes up in her room, her doorbell ringing having woken her up. She frantically gets out of her bed so quickly she bounces to the ceiling and back down.)

Ragatha: Hey, Pomni. How'd you sleep? (No response.) Are you still sleeping? I'll let you get back to it, if you are.

(Pomni opens her door and peeks out.)

Ragatha: There she is! Hope you're doin' all right. I know yesterday was a bit of a doozy.

Pomni: "A doozy"...

Ragatha: Oh, and don't worry about the whole "abandoning me for the exit" thing. It's perfectly understandable what you were going through at the time, and there's no hard feelings. (Laughs) Yer all good.

Pomni: ...Huh?

Ragatha: ...Uh, well, let's forget about all that. (Pomni exits her room.) Caine's got a new adventure today, and judging by what he's been teasing, it seems like it's gonna be a fun one.

Caine: Today's adventure is... CANDY CARRIER CHAOS! That's right! The Candy Canyon Kingdom's been robbed of their most valuable resource: Maple syrup! It's up to you to bring the rotten bandits who stole it to sweet, buttery justice!

Bubble: An entire kingdom of candy? Sounds sticky.

Caine: Very sticky, indeed.

Bubble: Sounds (A long "BLEEEEEEP" is heard, but no "Wacky Bleep" is shown.).

Caine: (Rightfully disgusted) ...Bubble, you can't say that.

Zooble: Mmmmmmmmmmm, nope. (Zooble begins to walk off.)

Caine: Zooble, wait! I-I'm testing out a new AI in this one! It should be 57 times more immersive!

Jax: Ooh, a new AI. You don't want to mess with the new AI, Zoobie?

Zooble: Uh, yeah, no. (Zooble continues walking off.)

Ragatha: Whoa, sounds fun. What do you think, Pomni?

Pomni: So, our entire existence here... is just LARPing?

Ragatha: W-Well, uh -

Caine: Why are you all just standing there?! The- The Canyon- C-Canyon Candy Kingdom needs you now!

(He shoves the group sans Zooble into the portal as it closes. Caine pulls out a pipe that makes bubbles come out.)

Caine: (Offering Bubble the pipe) Hmm?

Bubble: Nah, thanks. I'm trying to quit.
