I stand there as my hands shake, heavy breathing. This headset in my hands. 'The office is abandoned, it's not gonna work! '- I think to myself.. But, something seems a little off.. Like I shouldn't be putting this on, my gut feels tight, I want to throw up. I should be able to trust my gut, but I don't want to. But what if something bad will happen?Thoughts race through my head but I cant explain why these thoughts are happening... 'SUCK IT! ' I say to myself. I put it on and everything's dark with a muffled theme tune in the background. I feel like Im just floating in mid-air. I can't see myself, I feel my breathing getting heavier and heavier. Suddenly, I fall straight to the ground. I get smacked in the face with an immediate headache from all the bright colours everywhere....
At first I'm surprised, so this is the place? NICEEE!!! But wait, what about the headset? I can't feel it on my face!! I immediately get knocked down by flying objects. What is this place? It looks happy but is it happy?... I'm surrounded by colourful cartoon characters look shocked.
'Oh wow! We got a new member! ' exclaims a person that kind of resembles raggedy Ann from the old cartoon series. She seems kinda sweet! There are 5 people here:
-A short person that looks like a jester.
-A theatre mask for a face and the body of ribbons.
-A king chess piece
-The girl I already mentioned. Looks like a rag-doll with red noodley hair.
-And some person that I can't even describe how they look.. It kind of looks like someone just mashed up a whole bunch of toys together with a pink triangle head. Strange.
'Who are you all and what is this place?' -I ask
'Well I don't really know, w-well it's a circus I guess!' Mutters the jester.
'Oh well, okay.'- I sigh. Then I feel my face. It's really gone!? 'WAIT WHY CAN'T I TAKE THIS HEADSET OFF!?'
'It's gonna be okay! Lets just try to calm down! Everything will be alright! Just don't try to worry about it!' The raggedy Ann doll explains.
'But how can I even leave!?'- I shout
The toy box character starts speaking 'I don't really know how to tell you this but.. Umm well we can't really leave! Does anyone wanna explain why?'
'I will! So basically we are all just brain scans. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this but don't worry you will love it here! '- the jester clarifies.
'WHAT THE HELL! WHY THE F### AM I A BRAIN SCAN!? what?'- i ask. 'F###! F###! B####! C###!' I try to say as many offensive words as possible but they all get censored out with this annoying sound effect. I have a pretty potty mouth so this is gonna be torture! Then this teeth guy pops up right into my face! Jeeze talk about personal space!
'Oh hello there my little mini buggy bumper!- He shouts
What the f### just came out of his mouth, head? I don't know anymore, hes literally teeth with eyepballs in them. I'm so confused right now.
Am I dreaming right now?
'Well shall we start off by introducing you?'- he questions
'Oh, alright then. W-well my name is.... Uhhhh... What? Whats my name!? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT MY F###### NAME IS!?'
The ribbon person starts speaking- 'well when we enter this place we kinda... Forget our name's"
'Ummm, why?' - I ask.
'Well I don't really know..'
Well thanks that was useful wasn't it? I look around for a bit and then the chess piece bumps into the poor ribbons, her mask breaks and shatters in two. I feel bad for her now. The poor person....
'Ow...' She squeaks
'Oh! Sorry gangle I didn't see you there!' The chess piece mentions. Gangle, huh? Thats their name! Sounds pretty cool to be honest!
'Kinger you motherf#####!' -sighs the toy box character. The chess piece is also called kinger? Wow I'm learning a lot today!
'Sorry zooble!'-kinger sighs
Zooble! Oh my God Im learning a lot of names today, now I have to learn the ragdoll and the jesters names!
'W-wait then how do you all have names if you don't remember them?' I ask
'Well we choose them! Like my name is pomni but I got it from Caine's name-picker spinny... Thing..' - says the jester. Well now I just have to learn the dolls name. I wonder how everyone else got their name! The doll offers me to show me around the rooms. I say yes but I have no clue whats going on. I just thought it was gonna be some sh#### headset. I would've never thought I would be permanentle teleported to this place. I look around at all the doors. So many of the doors have different creatures that I haven't seen with big red X's marked in them. One is a purple bunny rabbit with big yellow eyes and I huge smile opposite to pomnis room. The doll stops walking and exclaims 'oh woah won't you look at that! You already got one!'
Everything's happening so fast my brain isn't comprehending. What was my name again?
'Hold on, did I already pick my name and why do I look like that?'
'Oh well yes you did pick your name. It's mavi! Also I don't think I told you, I'm ragatha!'-the doll mentions
Ragatha, cuteee! I was allowed to be left alone in my room to explore it for a bit. It's so cozy! But im still feeling weird about the whole.. Circus. I mean like it's not real! But it is at the same time? This is confusing. Am I even real!? Is this a dream!? I feel my heart pounding and my chest feels tight.. I can't really breathe. I forgot to ask about the X's as well. I feel like Im about to go insane. I want to just crumple up into a ball and die. And there is really no way out of this place.
'Mavi? Are you alright in there, adjusting well?'- Ragatha asks
'Yeah I'm alright, just taking it all in. This place is actually real!' -I respond
'Yep, I know it's weird but you will adjust don't worry!'-she explains.
'Yeah.. So it's actually real....'
