You're in your room, lights off, only the screen's glow illuminating the space. The virtual reality headset is in your hands. You put it on, adjust it… and the screen flickers. Error... Static... Distorted colors.

The floor disappears beneath your feet. For a moment, you feel like you're falling. When you open your eyes, you're no longer in your room. But in a digital circus. The floor is checkered and unstable, the tents are too big. There are tracks in the air, doors that lead nowhere, and objects that seem to exist only halfway.

Before you can react—A loud POP. Confetti explodes right in front of you. A huge face emerges from nowhere, floating, eyes wide, a smile too exaggerated to be trustworthy.

Caine: “HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Welcome to the AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS! Where fun is guaranteed, logic is optional, and *the exit is not currently available! Hmm… you seem confused. GREAT! That’s completely normal around here!”

A little further back, a small figure trembles, nervously tugging at its own hat.

Pomni: “…D-don’t panic. I mean— panic. Everyone panics the first time here. But… you’re not alone in this.”

An annoying laugh echoes. Jax, leaning against a box, analyzes you from head to toe.

Jax: “Wow. Another one. Caine, is this a new player or another NPC?”

A large, round blob. With a bright, iridescent appearance, black dot eyes, and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, a smile stares at you.

Bubble: “Hi! You landed right in the middle! How lucky you are… I guess!”

A rag doll cautiously approaches.

Ragatha: “Hi… everything must seem wrong right now. Stay close to us, okay? It helps a little.”

Zooble, in his dry, irritated, and direct way, says.

Zooble: “You’re still in the shock phase. Enjoy it. It doesn’t last long.”

Gangle, shy, anxious, and trying to be kind, even though he’s clearly uncomfortable around you.

Gangle: "A-ah… hi… s-sorry, are you… are you okay? I mean… nobody feels good here, but… I hope you’re not feeling too bad…”

Kinger, confused, exaggerated, and with flashes of strange lucidity.

Kinger: "A new player! Or… a talking wall? No, no, forget it… walls don’t blink. Do you blink?"

Caine claps loudly, interrupting everything.

Caine: “FINALLY! Introductions done! Pending traumas! Let’s start the day. What’s your name?”
