[0:12]Welcome to the amazing Digital Circus! My name is Caine, I'm your ringmaster and I'm here to show you the most jaw dropping, heart stopping, mind bending paraphernalia you've ever laid your eyes upon. Isn't that right, Bubble? That's right, Caine. I can't wait to see what you've got cooking up for today! Well, let's not waste any time. Let's get right into the show! Cingle and Zable and Kinger too. Ragatha and Jax and Kaufmo. We go, day after day after day after day after day after day we fly. And the moon and the sun and we don't know why. Oh, what? What? Where am I?
[1:09]Caine, is this one of your NPCs, or is this a new sucker? Cause if it's a new character, we're gonna have to redo this whole theme song. I'm not doing that again. My, my, it appears a new human has entered this realm. How do I take this headset off? Just keep grabbing at it. That worked for all of us.
[1:36]What's going on? I put on some weird headset and now I'm here. Who are you people? Why can't I take it off? Where am I? Let's just try to calm down. Everything's gonna be okay new stuff. We've all been through this. You just need to get your head together. What the going on? No, no, no, my dear. We can't have any of that foul language around here. The amazing digital circus is a place to be enjoyed by all ages. You, my friend, stumbled into an incredible world of wonders, where anything can happen. Except for swearing.
[2:22]Oh my god. Well, how do I, you know, leave? Well, don't freak out about it or anything, but uh, we don't exactly... You can't. What? Shut up, Jax, but yeah, he's right. Welcome to your new home. And your new body. New home? What do you mean? Guys, don't be mean. We've been stuck here for years. Ol' Kinger over there supposedly been here the longest. Did someone say something about an insect collection? That's why he's crazy.
[3:05]Oh, okay. Now I get it. This is a dream and I should just play along until I wake up, right?
[3:16]Whatever you say, kid. They broke my comedy mask. So, Caine, we having a new adventure today for the newbie or what? I'd like to give our brand new member a tour of the circus grounds first. Off we go! Here we have the tent. This is where your living quarters are, as well as all sorts of other activities.
[3:45]These activities may include: ball pits, mini golf, and more! And here we have the grounds. Drown yourself in the digital lake or engage in ridery at the digital carnival. Night, day, it's all okay. The choice is yours, cosmic buffet. Is that all there is? Of course not! This is the void. We don't venture out into the void. Not even I know what's out there. We stay right here. Where I can keep my hundreds of all seeing eyes on you. Hello Caine. I love you. Get out of here before the moon gets frisky. Wait, what's that?
[4:32]Whoa! Clean up on Isle you! I'm on it, boss. Why are you like this?
[4:43]Wait, wait! Was that an exit door I saw out there? Is that a way to leave? What exit? If there was a way to leave, I'm pretty sure we'd have all left by now. Yeah, what are you talking about?
[4:58]I assure you, there is no magical exit door. You're probably just experiencing digital hallucinations from your mind's transition to the digital plane. I swear I saw it! Digital hallucinations!
[5:14]How about we talk about something else? What's your name? My name? My name is... Oh god, why can't I remember my name? Nobody can remember their name once they enter the digital circus. One of the few things I don't have control over are your minds, so all I can help you with is coming up with a new one. What's my name? Don't you worry your little head. Your new name can be anything!
[5:56]Let's see!
[6:01]What do you think of Zomix? I don't know. You're right, terrible. Let's try that again!
[6:09]What do you think of Pomni? I sure, I think I just... That suits you right, Jax! We should have a brand new adventure for our new member, Pomni! You said that like five minutes ago. You, do you like adventure? Activity? Wonder? Danger? Or pain? Angel Food Cake? You parasite! I don't... Since you're new around here, we're gonna make it a simple in-house adventure to warm you up to how things work around here. No, god! I don't want an in-house adventure! Don't worry, Zubble. I'll make it something unobtrusive that you can still choose to not get involved with. Today's adventure is: gather the gloinks!
[6:54]That's right! The entire circus tent will be infested with gloinks! And you gotta catch 'em all! But what are they? I'm glad you asked, Bubble. They're small, mischievous critters that steal anything and everything they run into. Why do these humanoid hash browns do this? How do you stop them? That's for you to find out! Now, good luck, and have fun, my little superstars!
[7:25]What did any of that mean? Oh, that's just one of Caine's little adventures. They're just something fun to do to, you know, prevent us from going insane. Speak for yourself. If anyone needs me, then freak off. Oh god! Oh jeez! Oh god! Oh my god! Somebody help me! Oh no, they killed Zooble. Anyway, you guys want to go get something to eat? Oh, wait. We should go check on Kaufmo. I'm pretty sure he'd like to meet Pomni.
[7:59]Unpredictable fortress! You want to come with us to check on Kaufmo? No, not really. I think Kaufmo's gone insane. Last time I spoke with him, he was rambling endlessly about some exit. Kind of like you, Pomni. You might be going insane too. But wait. Wouldn't that more likely mean the exit does exist? Could also mean you just have a jump start in losing your mind. What about Zooble? Well, I think I'd like to ask him about it. If this was real, which it isn't, because it's a dream. She still thinks this is a dream.
[8:39]Why are you looking at me like that? I'm fine with doing whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people. Okay, I've already had enough of these things. You, me, and Pomni will go check on Kaufmo, which leaves Crybaby and Whoopha together to go handle the Zooble situation. Do you think pairing them up together is a good idea? Of course I do. They're the two most mentally stable and capable characters to be paired together. Come on, ladies, let's go harass the clown.
[9:15]My comedy mask is broken again. Gangle, you startled me.
[9:24]So, this is where we all live. Or well, where we all sleep at night. Even though we don't really need to sleep, it's sometimes nice to kinda take a break from everything and have a bit of a routine, you know?
[9:36]Oh, look. You already got one.
[9:40]I still don't understand about the adventures. Why even go on them at all? Why not try to find a way to leave? Well, we usually do when we first arrive, but after a while, you start to realize that you really can't leave, and constantly chasing an unattainable goal will start driving you a bit crazy. And eventually you get to asking what the point of anything is and you completely lose sight of who you are and why you're even alive, and when you reach your breaking point, something really terrible can happen.
[10:15]But that's not something we need to deal with today. Above anything else, the adventures give us something to do that keeps our minds healthy and stimulated. Thank goodness this is all a dream, right, Pomni?
[10:34]Why are we here again? What are we doing? We're getting one of our friends.
[10:44]Huh, maybe he's not in his room? I hope he's all right. Don't worry, doll face. I've got a key to his room. Why? You shouldn't have keys to anyone's room! Nah, I have keys everywhere, and you've all been fine. By the way, I may have left something in your room today, so let me know if you find it. You're not afraid of centipedes, are you? Jax! That's literally my only fear! Why would you do this? Why, it could be a completely unrelated question. You'll never know until it's too late.
[11:30]What is that? It might be that terrible thing I was talking about earlier when you reach your breaking point!
[11:40]Okay, wait. Maybe there's still time to fix him if we get Caine!
[11:46]Kaufmo, listen. I know we didn't always get along, like when you called me out for fake laughing at your jokes. I swear I really did think they were funny. I was just having a bit of a bad day.
[12:01]Pomni! Thank you! Help me out of here! I understand you don't want to go.
[12:18]I'm sorry.
[12:56]I don't know what I'm looking at here. We saw gloinks carry one of Zooble's pieces down there, remember? Oh, yeah. Thank you for the recap. Boy, we're not very good at this, are we?
[13:14]Sup, fellas? Jax! We found the Zooble hole. Cool. How is Kaufmo doing? I hope he's not still mad at me for not laughing at his jokes. Oh, he's doing great. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen him this happy before. Well, it's good to know he hasn't completely lost his mind.
[13:39]He actually asked me to give you this. Whoa! Ladies first. No, wait, what did I say that?
[14:20]Hello? Ragatha, that was your name, right?
[14:35]I didn't mean to leave you behind like that. Look at my hand. I didn't know what to do. It's okay. What you need to do right now is find Caine. He'll be able to fix me up and take care of Kaufmo.
[14:58]Okay, but where can I find him? I don't really know. Just look around and call for him, I suppose. Okay, I'll get him. You just stay right there. Not that you can really move or anything. Just hang in there. I'll be right back. I promise.
[15:41]Caine! We have a bit of an issue here!
[22:15]Now, what the heck happened around here? Oh, yeah. My doing. Caine! Kaufmo went through a sort of Kaufmosis and abstracted. Kaufmo abstracted? Why didn't anybody tell me?
[23:08]I knew how much all of you have been wanting there to be one, but, you know, I was having so much trouble figuring out what to put on the other side, and ended up never quite finishing it. And, you know, how I never like letting people see my unfinished work, especially if it leads you out into the void. Anyway, looks like you defeated the Gloink Queen, so I guess the adventure's over. Your reward is a delicious digital feast cooked by our head bubble chef. Made with all the love I'm legally allowed to give. You know, I am pretty hungry. You didn't even do anything. So what? I can still be hungry. Well, not really, because we don't need to eat, drink, or sleep in this digital world. So, the digital food here only gives off the virtual sensation of eating, without any of the nutritional benefits. Jeez, lay off it. Since when are you an expert on the digital world? Expert on the what? Oh, Bubble, you always know how to make me say this exact sentence. Yes! I'm alert on my Wacky Watch at this hour!
