Its a drabble this time! It was fun! (Spoilers for The Amazing Digital Circus finale!)
It all happened so fast for Ragatha...
One second she's hugging Pomni, another she watches the small jester leave to find Jax... And the last second was the sight of her almost being stalled by the large, glitchy mass...
Within a blink of an eye, Zooble had managed to yank Pomni back to the group. A small explosion of bright white light followed, scaring the abstraction away...
Both Zooble's arm and Pomni's whole body glitch out... Unforming briefly and reforming, various colors shift around on their models... The feeling makes Pomni shiver.
Seeing that Pomni's eyes are still closed, Ragatha kneels down to her level. She hesitates only for a moment before tucking her arm underneath the jesters head, "Pomni!"
She cradles her to help her sit up more, "Pomni! Are you okay?" She can feel the glitch crawl up her arms, but she isn't concerned about that one bit.
Pomni stirs awake, "Who are..." She holds up her hand, only to see a cartoon-ish blue glove instead of skin. Those pinwheel eyes stare back at Ragatha with a hint of fear, "What... Where are we?"
The ragdoll lets out a shaky breath, "...Home, Pomni..." A smile emerges onto her face, "We're home...."
The jester smiled back but has a confused look in her eyes, "I'm guessing that's my name? Pomni..."
Ragatha shifts her a little closer in equal confusion, "Of course it is. That's always been your name..."
Gangle speaks up from behind Ragatha, "Oh no..."
Zooble holds the ribbon hand, "What? What's wrong?"
Gangle rubs her chin with her other hand, "Judging by the fact she can't even remember her name... That tells me she might have amnesia..."
Zooble's eye widens in shock before looking at the jester.
Kinger ponders for a moment, "Hmm... I supposed it's possible her memories could have been deleted... Or maybe simply put in the wrong place?" He looks down at the girls with a sad tone to his voice, "I hope they're not corrupted..."
Ragatha's eyebrows knit in worry, "Amnesia?! So she won't be able to remember the circus? Gummygoo? Everyone?" She looks into Pomni's eyes, "...Us?"
Seeing the confusion in her eyes... Ragatha holds her blue hand, "Pomni... Can you remember anything?"
Pomni pauses... The pinwheels in her eyes start to turn while she thinks... Eventually they stop while she looks into Ragatha's eyes, "Uh... No, not really? ...It's a bit fuzzy honestly." She squeezes her hand a little with a smile, "...But I do remember this. I think."
Ragatha squeezes her hand harder in return, "Then its a good thing we're all in this together, right?"
Pomni's heart hammers against her ribs upon seeing her smile, "I..." She feels herself blush a little, "Yeah!" Her eyes land on the rest of the group, "...Yeah, I'm... Glad you're all here with me."
