Pomni

tadc roleplay blog!

[a-cartoon-jester]

Uh, hi! Somehow, we got Caine to give us phones (I think Zooble said something about how the internet is it's own adventure??) so... after trying to call everyone I could for help (no one answered... Probably because these phones aren't actually real...) I decided to see if Tumblr works in the Circus! And it does!

So, yeah... hi! My name is Pomni! Well, it's not actually my name, but it's... the one I was given since I... can't remember my real name... Anyways, yeah! My pronouns are she/her, I change colors when I hold my breath, and... uh... I'm not sure what else to say... I can't take off my hat?

Send me asks! Questions, comments, concerns, anything really!

Meet the rest of the Circus!

[askjaxtoy]

Robin: Riiiiigggghhhht…..

That part about not having kids I can explain.

You see there was this other circus where mum is who is also a rabbit and since Rabbits are rare in the circus and Caine wanted to test a digital born circus member him and that ring master of that circus Isaiah struck a deal Caine got your code info and handed it to Isaiah so mum could have me….

And since mum found out who she had a kid with she hated me for it. So just last week Caine finally stopped turning a blind eye when mum threatened me with scissors and took me away from the circus where mum was. I knew nothing about you and I only inherited two things from you

1: your eyes

2: Your talent with guns

Robin: And trust me Dad I never looked back at that place and I don’t plan on going back to mum you don’t have to love me but know I love you and there is nothing you can change that.

(Walks away my hair shifting exposing the bulks of my cut off ears and they looked like they were cut off by a knife)

Dude… I said it IN BOLD LETTERS. JAX IS NOT YOUR DAD. THIS IS THE CANON JAX-

[jaxthejackrabbit]

I do not get this person. They've been told many times to not force their Canon on people NUMEROUS times. They won't listen when people ask them even nicely. Its just bazaar atp

@randihollow You have to stop. Like. Genuinely

[a-cartoon-jester]

Yeah I have them blocked. They haven't interacted with me, but it's enough for me that they don't listen to others' clearly stated boundaries ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌ it's irritating, but that's what the block button is for

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni yawned, covering her mouth with a hand as she wrote down notes with the other. Apparently, Caine had been inspired by Gangle's anime highschool suggestion, so for this new adventure they all had to complete an entire semester. She was twenty-five! She shouldn't be back in highschool! College, yeah sure, but highschool?

The NPC professor said... Something, and she internally groaned as the presentation slide changed before she finished writing. She didn't know if they had to pass a whole semester or just complete it, but she wasn't going to risk failing and having to do it again or something.

The bell rang, and she immediately started putting her thing in her bag. Last class of the day, but Caine had created dorm rooms for them to share instead of having them 'go home' every day, so she didn't have to worry about 'going home'. She slung her bag over her shoulders and finally left the class, walking through a few buildings to the dorms. It was easy to find her's, since it had her face on it just like in the Circus. It also had Jax's face on it, so she supposed they'd be sharing. She didn't care. She was tired. She forgot how much highschool sucked.

Pomni opened the door and stepped inside, hoping to take a quick nap before she had to start studying.

@jaxthejackrabbit

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax shrugs and scratches the back of his neck a little. “I don’t know… Caine did make a whole city. We could go around and check it out?”

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni nodded. "Sounds like a plan, then. What do you wanna do this weekend? We could get a headstart on the city, or we could leave that as a surprise for Monday. It's up to you. Otherwise, I might just flood our dorm with origami boxes."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax grinned as he began looking around the room. "I was going to ask about those." He gave a bit of a laugh before looking back at her, now leaning over on his hand. "Yeah, I'd rather our room not be boxes. We can have a head start today if you want, I really don't care."

[a-cartoon-jester]

"Wanna commit crimes?" The jester suggested. "I don't even think there are NPCs outside of the school, so it's not like anyone could catch us in the city. Also, none of this is real, so it's fine. The NPCs can't get hurt, the buildings are just game models, Caine probably won't mind - he wants us to have fun. And if he does mind, then, uh... We run?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax nearly freezes, then bursts into laughter. "Oh Pom, youre saying all the right stuff right now!" He grins while adjusting his position to sit better. "Now we're talking! What you have in mind huh? Blow something up? Rob?"

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni laughed with him. "I was thinking something smaller. Just- vandalism, maybe? We can work our way up."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

"Ugh fine fine!" Jax grins while raising his hands. "Theres a bowling alley down the road, I bet we could tag that baby tonight even."

[a-cartoon-jester]

"Wanna go now?" Pomni asked, standing. "I'm sure the art department has spray paint we can take if we're sneaky."

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni yawned, covering her mouth with a hand as she wrote down notes with the other.

[honeybeee202]

Alternative ending to the fight in episode 6 because the real one is heartbreaking. 🫠

Also I will die on the hill that both Jax and Pomni are oblivious to how the other feels lol.

[a-cartoon-jester]

DisappearMing <3

[theamazingdigitalgangle]

Moon Goddess? Evil Beings?

Gangle can't help but bounce a bit in excitement, the novelty of the situation having really sunk in by now. "oh my gosh, this really is a DnD Campaign!!" She exclaims before looking around at the rag tag group, "Wait..if this is a DnD, campaign...what are our classes??" She turns to Zooble, pointing at them with an almost determined look. "I think you'd be a Ranger! You were really good with that sniper gun!" She offers before pointing to herself, "And I'd be a sorceress! Or even a cleric! She was...very excited about this..

(jax!! @askjaxtoy )

[askjaxtoy]

Jax watched in boredom as the faeries told them their pathetic tale- or rather what plagued them. They were being pretty vague about the actual evil. Though- it made more sense when Caine ( @yourfavoriteringleader) appeared out of the blue and let them know he didn’t have time to come up with something. He rolled his eyes. “Tch, typical.” he crossed his arms, his foot thumping against the ground in boredom.

At Kingers( @kingersblogofinsanity) words he outwardly laughed “YEAH! WE are great at helping people! Isn’t that right Ragatha?”( @i-am-just-a-ragdolly) he turned back toward Ragatha with a shit eating grin.

And as Gangle( @theamazingdigitalgangle) began going on about DnD he groaned out loud, loudly. “Ughhh! Jeez Gangle! Can you stop being such a loser for one second?” he rolled his eyes.

@digitaltoy-box @mismatchedparts its zoobles turn. Whichever one is available.//

[digitaltoy-box]

"Jax(@askjaxtoy), you a**hole." Zooble growled at him. They were clearly not happy about being thrown into this adventure either.

However, looking back at Gangle(@theamazingdigitalgangle, their gaze softened, and their pupils enlarged as they looked down at her. Sheepishly scratching the back of their neck, Zooble waved her off with a small sigh. "You really think so? I was just doing what we were told. It was my first time actually firing a gun. " If they had a mouth, they'd be smiling, their mood made better due to Gangles' excitedness rubbing off on them.

(@i-am-just-a-ragdolly your next!)

[i-am-just-a-ragdolly]

Ragatha rolls her eyes as she hears Jax's comment, listening to Zooble's genuine excitement thanks to Gangle immediately cheered her up.

Heh! I am glad that you had fun during that adventure! Oh, and Gangle! (@theamazingdigitalgangle ) What if we ask Caine to give us those roles? I might never have played D&D, but you are making it sound really fun!

@theamazingdigitalgangle @a-cartoon-jester decide who you wanna be next

[a-cartoon-jester]

"I think I'd be a rouge, since they're like the sneaky ones?" Pomni guessed. "I've never played DnD, but I spent a lot of time exploring abandoned buildings and stuff, so I think rogue might fit."

Pomni halfheartedly glared at Jax ( @askjaxtoy ) as he tried to bring down Gangle's mood. "Jax, this might actually be fun if you could take a moment to feel anything other than disdain. The quicker we help the faeries, the quicker you can go back to wallowing in the Circus."

She felt kind of bad for speaking like that, but she was still pretty upset with him. Worried, angry, sad - upset was a good all- encompassing word.

She noticed Kinger ( @kingersblogofinsanity ) look at her, and gave him a small smile.

// @kingersblogofinsanity you're up I believe

[kingersblogofinsanity]

Kinger waved at Pomni( @a-cartoon-jester ) before humming. “I haven’t really played a round of dnd- though- how are we supposed to go from here?” he asked curiously, blinking.

//sorry it’s so short @theamazingdigitalgangle your next//

[theamazingdigitalgangle]

Hmm...well, I vote we make Jax a Bard, and have him speak in rhyme for two turns." A vote is called, and hers is marked with a check for yes. (if this isn't allowed @yourfavoriteringleader just let me know and i'll change this) Part of it was her trying to be silly, but another was hoping that she could help Jax feel more included by the group. ....and because he voted to turn Zooble into a slug.

(sorry!! I reposted this to the wrong account!)

@askjaxtoy your turn!//

[yourfavoriteringleader]

“IT SURE IS ALLOWED! Everyone cast your VOTES!!” Caine says as he pops out of thin air.

@askjaxtoy starting with JAX!//

[askjaxtoy]

Jax rolled his eyes at Pomni ( @a-cartoon-jester) “whatever, it’s still dumb.” And at the suggestion his ears perked up in surprise and he quickly glared “not this again.” His ears bent backward as he saw Gangles( @theamazingdigitalgangle) vote show up almost in a 3d manner in front of him. “Well obviously I DON’T want that. Bards are the dumbest ones! I wanna fight! No sing people to sleep!” He kicked the dirt under his rabbit foot. His vote now added to the roster with a giant red X

Current Vote roster.

//your next @digitaltoy-box

[digitaltoy-box]

Zooble let out a barked laugh at Gangles ( @theamazingdigitalgangle )suggestion for a vote, immediately loving the idea of having to see Jax ( @askjaxtoy )have to rhyme and become a bard.

Almost instantly, their vote showed up on the board with a large green tick.

"'The dumbest ones'? Sounds like it'd suit you more than you think." Zooble scoffed before looking over at Gangle for agreement, still chuckling at Jax's meltdown.

Current vote roster:

@i-am-just-a-ragdolly your next!

[i-am-just-a-ragdolly]

Ragatha thinks. She looks at Pomni ( @a-cartoon-jester ), thinking about the previous days. She learnt from her that Jax ( @askjaxtoy ) is not in the mood for jokes. She doesn't want to come off as the bad guy.

"Huh... I... Actually would like to be the bard...(?)"

She quietly votes "No"

OOC: @a-cartoon-jester or @kingersblogofinsanity , you are next!

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni debated voting 'yes', but, despite her feelings towards Jax ( @askjaxtoy ) right now, she did want to try and be his friend. She silently added her vote to the roster.

(//hi everyone [^-^] @kingersblogofinsanity you're next I think!)

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni yawned, covering her mouth with a hand as she wrote down notes with the other. Apparently, Caine had been inspired by Gangle's anime highschool suggestion, so for this new adventure they all had to complete an entire semester. She was twenty-five! She shouldn't be back in highschool! College, yeah sure, but highschool?

The NPC professor said... Something, and she internally groaned as the presentation slide changed before she finished writing. She didn't know if they had to pass a whole semester or just complete it, but she wasn't going to risk failing and having to do it again or something.

The bell rang, and she immediately started putting her thing in her bag.

[a-cartoon-jester]

*Someone new had appeared in the digital circus, it was a 13 year old girl, sporting messy brown hair that had bright cyan highlights and that faded into a cherry sorta color, a bright purple and gray striped shirt, purple pants that seemed a bit small on the girl and had scrapes on her feet, she also had a pretty big backpack that was dragging across the ground while the girl wore it that’s how big it was, she was very confused, looking around where she’d just…appeared into-*

@the-plushie-friendships

"Um... Hello?" Pomni smiled at the kid, but was very confused. Was this an NPC? She didn't think so, but... Hm. Maybe. Either way, she would treat this kid like a human until she was informed otherwise, just in case. "My name is Pomni. Do you... Know where you are?"

NPCs would know, right? So, depending on the answer the little girl gave, Pomni would know. Unless Caine started making NPCs act like new members, which would honestly be super [BONK]ed up.

[the-plushie-friendships]

*The girl jumped back in surprise when Pomni suddenly spoke to her*

“EEP!!”

*The girl then slightly curled in on herself, taking a few steps back from Pomni, poor girl was scared and confused at everything right now-*

[the-plushie-friendships]

@a-cartoon-jester (sorry about the @)

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni crouched slightly, holding her hands up as she tried to appear nonthreatening. She kept her voice soft and gentle. "Hey, hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you. I know it's scary, being in a new place, but you're safe here."

//don't be sorry! :D

[the-plushie-friendships]

*The little girl very nervously looked up at Pomni*

“Y-You…promise…?”

*She asked, voice shaky*

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni nodded reassuringly. "I swear it."

[the-plushie-friendships]

*With the reassurance she’d been given, the girl slowly uncurled, shyly rubbing the straps of her backpack as she looked at Pomni*

“U-Uh…h-h-hi…?”

[a-cartoon-jester]

"Hi," Pomni echoed, smiling kindly. "What should I call you?"

[the-plushie-friendships]

“A-Ames…”

*She shyly replied*

“M-M-My…name is A-Ames…”

[a-cartoon-jester]

"That's a very pretty name, Ames. I'm Pomni," the jester said again. "Do you know where you are?"

[the-plushie-friendships]

*She slowly shook her head no, she didn’t know where she was*

[a-cartoon-jester]

"You're in The Amazing Digital Circus," Pomni explained. Better for her to do it than Caine; the ringleader would probably scare the kid half to death. "There are other people here, too. They're... Mostly nice. Probably all still in their rooms. Do you want to come with me, and we can try and find yours?"

[the-plushie-friendships]

*Ames slowly nodded in response, she’d follow Pomni to find her room*

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni led Ames to the rooms hall, a bit away from where they were. It took a few minutes to get there, but it wasn't awkward. At least, Pomni didn't think it was. Eventually, they reached the end of the hall. Pomni frowned.

"Huh. That's weird. There's... No door for you," she murmured. "Uh... Well, I'm sure you can just take a blank room. We'll talk to Caine about this in a bit."

[the-plushie-friendships]

*Ames then looked over and spotted something, pointing at it*

“W-What about t-t-that…?”

*She asked, referring to the door that’d been placed in a rather odd area of the rooms hall, on it was a picture of Ames-*

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni looked over to where the girl was pointing and blinked. "Oh," she said, very eloquently. "I didn't even see that. This place is so weird. Alright, come on, kid. Let's check it out, yeah?"

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni yawned, covering her mouth with a hand as she wrote down notes with the other. Apparently, Caine had been inspired by Gangle's anime highschool suggestion, so for this new adventure they all had to complete an entire semester. She was twenty-five! She shouldn't be back in highschool! College, yeah sure, but highschool?

The NPC professor said... Something, and she internally groaned as the presentation slide changed before she finished writing. She didn't know if they had to pass a whole semester or just complete it, but she wasn't going to risk failing and having to do it again or something.

It also had Jax's face on it, so she supposed they'd be sharing. She didn't care. She was tired. She forgot how much highschool sucked.

Pomni opened the door and stepped inside, hoping to take a quick nap before she had to start studying.

@jaxthejackrabbit

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax hated it. Hated it more than he realized he would. Highschool, uniforms, learning. It was bad enough they had to do it anime style, now it was the real deal. The only upside was sharing a room with someone he didn’t exactly hate.

He didn’t care about passing, and really didn’t care to try. There half the day, disappeared the next. Not that he was gone far as the rabbit kept in his shared dorm most of the afternoon.

His eyes were closed yet he wasn’t asleep, just resting as music played through his ears, making him unaware of Pomni’s arrival.

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni set her bag on her desk chair and flopped onto her bed. She noticed Jax on the other side of the room, but didn't want to bother him since he seemed to be relaxing like she wanted to. After a minute, she got bored, so she sat up and stared at Jax.

"Hey, Jax," she called, slightly louder than normal since he was listening to music and she wanted to be heard. "How are your classes?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

“Hnnnng-“ Jax grumbled, keeping his eyes closed as he reached for an earbud. “I only went to like… three. So… great.”

He finally opens an eye, one closest to Pomni to look at her. The music he was listening to still playing through the small speaker. “Boring, actually.”

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni nodded in agreement, moving to sit at her desk and grabbing her bag. She took out her notebooks and whatever worksheets she needed to complete and set them on her desk, along with a pencil and a calculator, before putting her bag back under it.

"Yeah, I almost fell asleep a couple times," she admitted, flipping open her math notebook to reference while she worked on - you guessed it - her math homework. "Which is surprising since we don't need to sleep anymore."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

"We don't need to, but I still like it." He grinned before eyeing her paper work. It made him scowl, "You're not actually doing the homework are you?"

Jax knew he had a pile, considering he only went for a couple classes, and he knew he wasn't willing to do a minute of it. "All we have to do is wait for the semester to be over."

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni shrugged. "I don't want to risk something happening if I fail. I'm not sure what would happen, but... Well, I'd rather not find out."

She chewed on the end of her pencil, thinking for a moment about the equation she was on before writing something down and moving on to the next one. "I am kind curious about detention, though. You're the only one who went through 'employee reevaluation' during the Spudsy's adventure - think detention would be like that? 'Student reevaluation', I guess?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax continued to eye her homework in disgust until the memory of the Spudsy's came back. His eyes widened, and he let out an audible gulp before eyeing his own backpack. After another long thought, he let out a defeated groan.

"God, this place scares me sometimes." He shivered while grabbing his pack. "Thought he wanted us to be happy. How is school making any of us happy?"

[a-cartoon-jester]

"No idea. Maybe he's planning something and needed us out of the Tent for a bit? Usually our adventures only last a few days at most, this is a long one." She frowned, glancing at him. She set her pencil down and turned her chair to face him. "Are you okay? You seem... Disturbed."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

He was digging through his back once he noticed Pomni turning to him. He looks up and raises a brow. "Uh, yeah. Just hate thinking about that adventure." A shiver runs through, trying to forget that Gangle had try to brainwash him. "I don't want to go through that again."

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni hummed, turning back to her work. "What- Tell me if you don't wanna talk about it, but... what happened?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

"Mmm..." Jax hummed as he tried to decide if it was worth it, but in the end saw no real harm in saying it either way. His eyes remained in his book bag, avoiding her eyes.

"It was just... Giant hands held me down and forced me to watch this weird video. It was just a static-ish background with Gangle flashing and beeping and-" He shivered, hard enough to make his head shake. "The video was just... creepy."

[a-cartoon-jester]

"Sounds like it really affected you," Pomni said casually, not wanting Jax to think she was trying to therapize him or something. She'd avoid mentioning detention as a possible 'student reevaluation' from now on. She paused before writing her answer down, redoing her mental math in the calculator. It was a different answer. She wrote that one down, making a note on what she originally did wrong.

"Do you have any classes you want help with?" She asked, glancing back at him as he rummaged through his backpack. "I'm fairly good at math and science if you struggle with those. I'm a lost cause with ELA, though."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

“Uh… yeah.” Jax’s foot gave a couple light thumps on the floor until he realized Pomni had moved on from the conversation. He let out a relieved sigh before going back to the backpack.

“God, math is the worst for me-“ he freezes for a moment, then slowly looks up at the other. “You speak English… how are you bad at it?”

[a-cartoon-jester]

"It's not the English part I struggle with, it's the- essays and opinions and stuff like that," Pomni explained. "I like math because there's always a right answer and a logical way of figuring it out. Like a puzzle. ELA is basically the opposite of that. I always seem to get the wrong answers. But as long as I do the assignments - whether or not I get good grades on them - I probably won't fail the class."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax thought for a moment before giving a shrug. “Well, why don’t I help with your English and you help with my math?” Easy trade, he thought. Especially now that he needed to do the work. “I loved ELA.”

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni nodded. "Sounds good."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

It had been two weeks in since the adventure started. The more days passed, the more Jax realized they really did have to finish a semester. Not on his list of “fun things to do”. It was the weekend now, but Jax seemed exhausted after tests.

He walked into the shared room, completely ignoring Pomni and face planting in his bed.

“Ugh….”

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni was sat criss-cross on her bed, a bunch of paper in a pile in front of her and some simple origami boxes strewn around her. She was in the process of making another when Jax walked in and laid on his bed.

"Don't tell me you failed, too," she pleaded, giving up on her origami halfway through. They shared one class in the middle of the day, and then went on their separate ways for the rest. In that class, they had a surprise test. Combined with the few notes she was able to take in the past couple weeks and the fact that the AI generated text barely made sense, it was safe to say she failed spectacularly.

[jaxthejackrabbit]

“Uuugggh!” His groans carried on at the thought of his scores. 5/100. In frustration, his hands moved up and pulled on his ears.

“If he wants us to pass he can’t just AI generate everything!” He screams into his mattress, then screams for real. When he was finished, his head pokes up and his eyes meet Pomni’s.

“What is his problem?!”

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni set the stack of papers on her desk, not bothering to move her origami from her bed before moving over to sit on an unoccupied spot of Jax's bed. "I don't know. Maybe we aren't supposed to pass after all? Maybe- Maybe he's wanting us to do rebellious stuff, like parties and skipping classes, so he didn't bother with the actual school part? These adventures are supposed to be keeping us sane and happy, so maybe he's letting us just... I don't know. Be free? Or, free-ish?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax listened to Pomni’s words as he shifted around to let her sit better. At the thought, it made his ears stick up a little. “Oh god, so you’re saying we wasted a whole week of trying?!” His hands smack against his face as he groans again, then they fall away. “Well. Then that’s it. You and I Monday are skipping.”

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni's hat tails shook, bells jingling as she laughed quietly. "Alright. And do what?"

[a-cartoon-jester]

*Someone new had appeared in the digital circus, it was a 13 year old girl, sporting messy brown hair that had bright cyan highlights and that faded into a cherry sorta color, a bright purple and gray striped shirt, purple pants that seemed a bit small on the girl and had scrapes on her feet, she also had a pretty big backpack that was dragging across the ground while the girl wore it that’s how big it was, she was very confused, looking around where she’d just…appeared into-*

@the-plushie-friendships

"Um... Hello?" Pomni smiled at the kid, but was very confused. Was this an NPC? She didn't think so, but... Hm. Maybe. Either way, she would treat this kid like a human until she was informed otherwise, just in case. "My name is Pomni. Do you... Know where you are?"

NPCs would know, right? So, depending on the answer the little girl gave, Pomni would know. Unless Caine started making NPCs act like new members, which would honestly be super [BONK]ed up.

[the-plushie-friendships]

*The girl jumped back in surprise when Pomni suddenly spoke to her*

“EEP!!”

*The girl then slightly curled in on herself, taking a few steps back from Pomni, poor girl was scared and confused at everything right now-*

[the-plushie-friendships]

@a-cartoon-jester (sorry about the @)

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni crouched slightly, holding her hands up as she tried to appear nonthreatening. She kept her voice soft and gentle. "Hey, hey, it's okay. I won't hurt you. I know it's scary, being in a new place, but you're safe here."

//don't be sorry! :D

[the-plushie-friendships]

*The little girl very nervously looked up at Pomni*

“Y-You…promise…?”

*She asked, voice shaky*

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni nodded reassuringly. "I swear it."

[the-plushie-friendships]

*With the reassurance she’d been given, the girl slowly uncurled, shyly rubbing the straps of her backpack as she looked at Pomni*

“U-Uh…h-h-hi…?”

[a-cartoon-jester]

"Hi," Pomni echoed, smiling kindly. "What should I call you?"

[the-plushie-friendships]

“A-Ames…”

*She shyly replied*

“M-M-My…name is A-Ames…”

[a-cartoon-jester]

"That's a very pretty name, Ames. I'm Pomni," the jester said again. "Do you know where you are?"

[the-plushie-friendships]

*She slowly shook her head no, she didn’t know where she was*

[a-cartoon-jester]

"You're in The Amazing Digital Circus," Pomni explained. Better for her to do it than Caine; the ringleader would probably scare the kid half to death. "There are other people here, too. They're... Mostly nice. Probably all still in their rooms. Do you want to come with me, and we can try and find yours?"

[the-plushie-friendships]

*Ames slowly nodded in response, she’d follow Pomni to find her room*

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni led Ames to the rooms hall, a bit away from where they were. It took a few minutes to get there, but it wasn't awkward. At least, Pomni didn't think it was. Eventually, they reached the end of the hall. Pomni frowned.

"Huh. That's weird. There's... No door for you," she murmured. "Uh... Well, I'm sure you can just take a blank room. We'll talk to Caine about this in a bit."

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni yawned, covering her mouth with a hand as she wrote down notes with the other. Apparently, Caine had been inspired by Gangle's anime highschool suggestion, so for this new adventure they all had to complete an entire semester. She was twenty-five! She shouldn't be back in highschool! College, yeah sure, but highschool?

The NPC professor said... Something, and she internally groaned as the presentation slide changed before she finished writing. She didn't know if they had to pass a whole semester or just complete it, but she wasn't going to risk failing and having to do it again or something.

The bell rang, and she immediately started putting her thing in her bag. Last class of the day, but Caine had created dorm rooms for them to share instead of having them 'go home' every day, so she didn't have to worry about 'going home'. She slung her bag over her shoulders and finally left the class, walking through a few buildings to the dorms. It was easy to find her's, since it had her face on it just like in the Circus. It also had Jax's face on it, so she supposed they'd be sharing. She didn't care. She was tired. She forgot how much highschool sucked.

Pomni opened the door and stepped inside, hoping to take a quick nap before she had to start studying.

@jaxthejackrabbit

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax hated it. Hated it more than he realized he would. Highschool, uniforms, learning. It was bad enough they had to do it anime style, now it was the real deal. The only upside was sharing a room with someone he didn’t exactly hate.

He didn’t care about passing, and really didn’t care to try. There half the day, disappeared the next. Not that he was gone far as the rabbit kept in his shared dorm most of the afternoon.

His eyes were closed yet he wasn’t asleep, just resting as music played through his ears, making him unaware of Pomni’s arrival.

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni set her bag on her desk chair and flopped onto her bed. She noticed Jax on the other side of the room, but didn't want to bother him since he seemed to be relaxing like she wanted to. After a minute, she got bored, so she sat up and stared at Jax.

"Hey, Jax," she called, slightly louder than normal since he was listening to music and she wanted to be heard. "How are your classes?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

“Hnnnng-“ Jax grumbled, keeping his eyes closed as he reached for an earbud. “I only went to like… three. So… great.”

He finally opens an eye, one closest to Pomni to look at her. The music he was listening to still playing through the small speaker. “Boring, actually.”

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni nodded in agreement, moving to sit at her desk and grabbing her bag. She took out her notebooks and whatever worksheets she needed to complete and set them on her desk, along with a pencil and a calculator, before putting her bag back under it.

"Yeah, I almost fell asleep a couple times," she admitted, flipping open her math notebook to reference while she worked on - you guessed it - her math homework. "Which is surprising since we don't need to sleep anymore."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

"We don't need to, but I still like it." He grinned before eyeing her paper work. It made him scowl, "You're not actually doing the homework are you?"

Jax knew he had a pile, considering he only went for a couple classes, and he knew he wasn't willing to do a minute of it. "All we have to do is wait for the semester to be over."

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni shrugged. "I don't want to risk something happening if I fail. I'm not sure what would happen, but... Well, I'd rather not find out."

She chewed on the end of her pencil, thinking for a moment about the equation she was on before writing something down and moving on to the next one. "I am kind curious about detention, though. You're the only one who went through 'employee reevaluation' during the Spudsy's adventure - think detention would be like that? 'Student reevaluation', I guess?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

Jax continued to eye her homework in disgust until the memory of the Spudsy's came back. His eyes widened, and he let out an audible gulp before eyeing his own backpack. After another long thought, he let out a defeated groan.

"God, this place scares me sometimes." He shivered while grabbing his pack. "Thought he wanted us to be happy. How is school making any of us happy?"

[a-cartoon-jester]

"No idea. Maybe he's planning something and needed us out of the Tent for a bit? Usually our adventures only last a few days at most, this is a long one." She frowned, glancing at him. She set her pencil down and turned her chair to face him. "Are you okay? You seem... Disturbed."

[jaxthejackrabbit]

He was digging through his back once he noticed Pomni turning to him. He looks up and raises a brow. "Uh, yeah. Just hate thinking about that adventure." A shiver runs through, trying to forget that Gangle had try to brainwash him. "I don't want to go through that again."

[a-cartoon-jester]

Pomni hummed, turning back to her work. "What- Tell me if you don't wanna talk about it, but... what happened?"

[jaxthejackrabbit]

"Mmm..." Jax hummed as he tried to decide if it was worth it, but in the end saw no real harm in saying it either way. His eyes remained in his book bag, avoiding her eyes.

"It was just... Giant hands held me down and forced me to watch this weird video. It was just a static-ish background with Gangle flashing and beeping and-" He shivered, hard enough to make his head shake. "The video was just... creepy."

[a-cartoon-jester]

"Sounds like it really affected you," Pomni said casually, not wanting Jax to think she was trying to therapize him or something. She'd avoid mentioning detention as a possible 'student reevaluation' from now on. She paused before writing her answer down, redoing her mental math in the calculator. It was a different answer. She wrote that one down, making a note on what she originally did wrong.

"Do you have any classes you want help with?" She asked, glancing back at him as he rummaged through his backpack. "I'm fairly good at math and science if you struggle with those. I'm a lost cause with ELA, though."
