Pomni woke up, excited to be free of the 'Digital circus'. blinking awake, they looked around, before groaning. They were still here. in the bed they fell asleep in, in the circus tent. But this still HAD to be a dream, right?
Ragatha had already been awake for a couple of hours, and she was currently cleaning her room. She dusted the shelf above her bed- she hated digital dust, it always spawned back in after a few hours. Sometimes she wondered why she even bothered with it.
(isn't Pomni a she)
"Oh look, the noob's up." Zooble's voice was as dry as ever. "Enjoy your digital dreams?"
she was leaning against an orange cube.
(its the digital circus, we know how it looks, don't question the cube.)

(it never really confirms-)
(I'm pretty sure it does, but it's fine either way)
Pomni frowned. "I didn't dream." They reached up to their face, trying again to take off the headset, to no avail.
(i can go she, or they. ill probably do both.)
Welp, won't be me, cuz Kinger is doing…Kinger things.))
Ragatha decided to abandon her cleaning and go see what the others were doing.
(…..Jaaaaax we need u to chaos over here…)
Zooble snorted. "Yeah, cause you aren't dreaming. You're stuck here, doomed to lose your mind just like Kaufmo."
Kinger sorts through his insect collection, all of the insects being fruit flies.
Ragatha wandered around the tent, searching for anyone who was up and about.
"I'm not gonna be like Kaufmo." Pomni said, although her voice shook a bit.
Eventually, Ragatha decided to go check on Pomni, the new one. She suspected she was still just as frazzled as she had been the day before, and wanted to do anything she could to help.
Kinger happened to be right nearby Ragatha. "RAGATHA!" he shouts in fear. "What are you doin?"
Ragatha jumped, startled. "Oh- Hi, Kinger. I was just on my way to check on Pomni."
"Oh, you mean the crazy one? Maybe I can come. I'm quite helpful. Maybe she needs an insect collection."
Zooble strolled away. her motives were unknown.
(not sure why I wanted to phrase it like that😅)
"I guess you can. Try not to… overwhelm her, though."
(haha, yeah)
"Will do!" Kinger follwed Ragatha the rest of the way in silence.
They got to Pomni's door and Ragatha knocked softly. "Pomni? Are you doing okay?"
Pomni sighed, trying to at least take off the ridiculous jester hat on their head.
"We can leave if you're not in the mood… We just wanted to check on you. The first few days are always the worst."
"I'll be fine, i'll wake up soon."
Ragatha frowned. "I know you think that, and I'm not trying to hurt your feelings… but this isn't a dream. You aren't going to be waking up." She tried to explain in the kindest way possible.
