Drones in a Circus Part 1 (gonna make more, I promise :) )
Hey, I'm finally posting an update for the fic that @datcarbonatedcircle suggested! I'm putting what was in the sneak peak into part 1 (cause I'm not gonna make you go dig for it) but we're getting the story finally set up!
There will be at least 3 parts to this (I might add little fillers if you want them while I get the other parts written). For the actual stories, I won't colorize it's a real word the speech like in the sneak peak or for future fillers, but if you do want it colorized for the actual story, I will do that :)
Two new filler humans are added in this part (for the sake of representing the passage of time), one is an OC made by my friend, the OC's name is Nicholas (nicknamed "Nick" by Zooble), he's a slime-like human who kindly pranks people, and the other is my OC named Kristen, she's an angel-like human who acts a little like Gangle.

“Uzi, over here! Look at this cool old computer, block, thingy!” N called out to Uzi, staring at the powered off monitor. “N, you idiot, it’s called a computer tower.” Uzi scoffed, walking over to where he was standing. “Ooh! Does it have games?” N asked Uzi as his tail slowly wagged. “How should I know, I'm not the one who owns it.”
“Hey, V, do you think it still works?” N questioned, an excited smile on his face. “Don’t know. How do you even turn it on, is there a button or something?”
“Check the tower, V. It’s something from the ‘90s, so it's got a power button.” Uzi pointed out as she held N’s wildly wagging tail before it hit her. “Sorry!” N giggled as Uzi let go and clicked the power button. A black log-in window popped up, so Uzi entered the password written on a nearby sticky-note, and the screen suddenly came to life with a ghoulishly blue glow.
The home screen said “The Amazing Digital Circus” and had a low-poly background of a green hill with a red-and-yellow circus tent on top. “Cool!” Uzi and N exclaimed in sync while V rolled her eyes jokingly. “Who wants to try it first?”
“Ooh! Ooh! I call dibs! I call dibs! I call dibs!” N chirped, practically vibrating as he looked for a mouse on the desk. “Where’s the mouse?!”
"Maybe that bulky thing over there works.” V cackled as she pointed over to a headset. N scrambled over and grabbed it, turning it over in his hands. “Oh, oh, Uzi! It’s a VR headset!”
“They had VR in the ‘90s?” V asked, flabbergasted, as N put it on his head and giggled maniacally. “Guess so. Might’ve been really bad though.” Uzi replied, her face dropping when she looked over at where N used to be. “Uhh… Where’s N?!”
“What are you talking about…?” V asked before she looked around. N wasn’t anywhere and the headset was on the ground now. “Uh, Uzi… I’m not hallucinating, right?”
“If you are, then I’m part of it too.” Uzi snarked as she grabbed the headset, trembling slightly. “Wait, what if N got sucked into the game, like that old movie from, like, 2017 or something?” V realized as she and Uzi made eye contact. “We need to get him back!”
“Uzi, wait-!” V shouted too late as Uzi put it on and disappeared with a small, barely audible, pop sound. The headset clattered to the ground, leaving V in terror. “For the love of… Uzi, N, I’m coming!” V called as she put the headset on. White flooded her visual feed as she lost sensation in her body and regained it a few moments later. “Oh, what the hell?!”
“V?! No, not you too!” Uzi cried as V looked at her surroundings. It seemed like they were in a circus tent, like the one from the home screen, instead with a checkerboard floor, but wait- she hadn’t hit play! “What the hell is this place?”
“Oh, Caine, there’s new humans!” A ribbon creature with a comedy mask for a face called out to whoever this Caine guy was. “What is that thing?” Uzi muttered in confusion, causing the creature to squeak. “Oh, no, she didn’t mean anything bad by that, that’s just how she is!” N worriedly explained to the ribbons, her smile coming back at that.
“Oh, who are these, Gangle?” A chess piece asked as he approached her. “Hey, Kinger. Um, I don’t know their names yet, but they’re new humans-!”
“Humans? Hah, they died off years ago!” V remarked while Uzi face-palmed and N watched Gangle’s face fall. “Humans… died off?” The chess piece asked with an expression of hurt and confusion.
“Yeah, back when… it… turned N and V over there into disassembly drones.” Uzi groaned as she gestured towards the two. “Hey, she infected you as well, Uzi!”
“Hey, Gangle. Hey, Kinger,” A black slime-like guy with blue-frost-tipped ‘hair’ yawned as he stretched, “Who are these people?” He continued as Uzi growled. “They’re… You said your names are N, V, and Uzi?” Kinger inquired. “Yep. I’m V, the guy is N, and the shorty-”
“She’s not that short, just about the same size as Pomni.” Gangle mentioned as a ragdoll woman rounded the corner. “Oh, new humans!” She exclaimed, walking over now. "Not humans, we're bots." Uzi mentioned, rolling her eyes.
"So they're not brain scans?" The ragdoll asked Kinger, quickly covering her mouth with a horrified expression when she realized what she said. “Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry! I didn’t-”
“Don’t be sorry, we don’t have brains. Especially N over there.” V giggled as N smiled cutely.
“Well, I’ma go grab the others.” The slime-like guy blurted out as he walked away, giggling. “Do you think he’s made of oil?” V whispered to N and Uzi, her tail twitching a slight bit.
“Wanna find out later?” Uzi giggled with a sly grin. “How about we don’t try that because Nick’s actually made of slime…” The ragdoll cut in as she walked up to the trio. “You guys need a tour of the place?”
“We’d love one, thanks.” N replied cheerfully, the trio following the ragdoll, who they learned was named Ragatha, down a long hallway.

If you wanna suggest some tips to make my writing better, I will gladly accept it at any time! (and I am open to adding an OC of yours in here if you want, I like learning about others' OCs!)
I'm also looking for a name to have for people to recognize this fic, I'm curious as to what you guys come up with (cause my brain won't give me any good name ideas. My brain isn't braining!)
