Abstragedy part two! <3 this ones more angsty y'all mb

This is mostly for @j3llyst6r cuz they liked my abstragedy other fanfic :3

Zooble was the first to wake. They mumbled softly and looked at the girl laying on them. Cute. They gently pet the back of her mask, debating whether to wake her up or not. They decided to let her sleep a little longer. She looked so peaceful.. The way she looked when she was sleeping. They wondered what she would have looked like back before the circus. Definitely cute. It was impossible for her not to be cute. Their mind continued to wander down that path, the path of wondering what would happen if they were both human. In the real world. Where they're supposed to be. Not trapped in this stupid restricting circus. They were stripped of most things that made them human. They could be taken apart with ease, they had a TRIANGLE as a head, and they had no mouth. No mouth. That means they could never kiss her. Stupid. They sighed as they ran their fingers up and down Gangles ribbon back. She slowly woke up.. Her eyes fluttered open. She mumbled softly.

"Z- zooble..."

"Heh.. Good morning Gangle.."

They pushed away the infuriating thoughts that filled their mind. It would probably make everything harder. They wanted to kiss her so bad.. Their thoughts were interrupted by Gangle nuzzling into them and speaking.

"I love you zooble.."

They chuckled.

"I love you too, Gangle."

How sweet. What a cute moment between two lovers. It sucks they're stuck. Stuck in this stupid, bright, chaotic circus. And they were both stripped of their humanity. What they would do to be human and in the real world. They could have a life with this girl. A life. A real life. Maybe they could've even gotten married and lived together and be happy and-

"Zooble..?"

Her voice pulled them out of their thoughts.

"... Mhm?"

"What are you thinking about..?"

"... Uh.. Don't worry about it. Love you."

"... I love you too Zooble..."

This girl. She was sweet, to say the least. But they wanted to be on the real world with her. Not this. What did they do to deserve this hell? More importantly, what did Gangle do to be here? She was literally an angel. They just want to be home. Home.

They sigh and pet Gangle more. Gangle spoke up again.

"You keep sighing.. Something's wrong. Tell me."

"Gangle it's really noth-"

"Zooble. Tell me."

"..."

They stopped petting her. F(%*7(). They were making her talk about things. That's the opposite of what they wanted.

"Gangle i-"

"I don't want you to go insane. The best way to go insane is keeping something that's bothering you locked in the back of your mind. But its gonna resurface. That's how you abstract. Its gonna resurface and it's gonna be the only thing you think about. Talk to me."

As much as they hated it, she was right. They don't want her to be right. But she is..

"Fine. I'll talk to you. Ugh.. I just.."

Why was it so hard to admit they're hurting!?

"i - Ugh! Gangle this is stupid!"

Gangle gave them a worried but stern look. No way she was letting them keep things to themselves.

"Zooble. Please, just talk. Pretend I'm not here or something.."

Zooble sighed again. Damn, this was hard. So hard. They weren't as emotionally there as Gangle was. They were detached. Disassociated. How were they gonna do this without lashing out.. No. They had to do this for her. And if they get angry, she was there to regulate them. Ok. They can do this.

"Fine Gangle. I just.. I want.. Ugh! I want to go home! I'm so F(%*7()ING sick of being here! I hate it! I want- I need- Go home- in UGH!"

They gently as possible took her off of them. They were honestly a bit rough with her, but not enough to hurt her. They backed themselves against their colorful wall as Gangle spoke up again.

"Zooble.. It's gonna be ok.."

"NO! Its not gonna! I we were both taken from out lives and put it this F(%*7()ING HELLHOLE!"

Zooble tended to get angry instead of sad. And Gangle tended to get sad instead of angry. Gangle spoke in a sad tone:

"... If.. We never were taken out of our lives.. And put here.. We wouldn't have met.. Ever.."

...

That's A good point. They wouldn't have ever found her if they wouldn't have put on that stupid headset.

"Ok.. Im.. Tired. Can.. You come back.. Sorry for taking you off of me.."

They weren't feeling A lot better, but the fact that gangle listened to them and crawled back into their lap made them appreciate life a little more.

They laid back, bringing Gangle with them. Gangle whispered into the spot their ears would be, If they had any.

"I love you..."

"I love you too."

With that, zooble closed their eyes and tried to get some rest again. So did Gangle. Funny how a small thought can spiral into a mini crisis. But a mini crisis can spiral into cuddles.

Abstragedy Week Day 1 Entry

you may be asking yourself “wait, wasn’t Abstragedy week day 1 like a week a ago?” Why yes! Yes it was! Unfortunately I am absolutely drowning in work right now so all of my entries will be late as fuck and I am so sorry

but without further ado here’s a fic I cobbled together (my first time writing anything for ao3) and a maybe not half-assed drawing but at most like three-fourths-assed drawing to go with it

[ettena088]

Into The Digital Woods.

Once upon a time, in a distant digital kingdom, there was a small village at the edge of a vast digital forest. In that village, there lived a beautiful ragdoll, a somewhat paranoid jester, and a couple of chess pieces: a white king and a black queen, which was quite ironic since, being simple bakers, they lacked the riches that royalty was expected to have. However, this story isn't about the poverty and misfortune of these bakers... or maybe it is.

Ahem! As I was saying, each of these unique characters had a particular wish.

The beautiful doll wanted more than anything to attend the festival the King would host. The paranoid jester wished for her old cow to start giving milk again. And the couple of kings - I mean, of bakers - wanted to have a child. And it was thanks to these wishes that, unknowingly, the paths of these lovable characters would be wrapped up in a magical, risky, and strange adventure that would undoubtedly be an experience they would never forget.

It was a cloudy day, with a light drizzle, and the wind blew a gentle breeze. For many, this day would be as ordinary as the day before, but not for the beautiful ragdoll named Ragatha, because this special day marked the beginning of the festival the King had prepared to find a beautiful maiden to marry his son, Prince Jax.

So, Ragatha had woken up very early, intending to start her daily chores and hoping that if she finished on time, she could attend the festival.

"I heard you want to go to the festival," said a woman, in a mocking tone.

The poor doll's mother had died, and her father had remarried a woman with two daughters.

"Ragatha? At the festival?" someone else mocked. "Don't make me laugh! Taking her with us would completely ruin our image."

"I won't cause trouble, I just want to go to the festival and have a good time," Ragatha explained, tiredly. At that moment, the doll was scrubbing the kitchen floor.

"And what would you do there? Dance with the prince? Hahahaha," mocked a third voice.

"Just look at yourself! Look at your dress full of patches!" laughed one of the stepsisters.

"Or your hair, which looks like a bunch of worms tangled together," added the other sister while disgustedly touching a strand of the doll’s red woolen hair.

"People will laugh at you," the stepmother commented while kicking the bucket full of soap, causing it to fall and soak Ragatha's dress.

"However," whispered the doll.

"You want to go to the King's festival and dance in front of the prince," they finished together, bursting into a loud laugh.

The three were very beautiful, but they had hearts as black and vile as coal.

Meanwhile, in a humble and rustic cottage, the little jester, named Pomni, was accompanied by a thin, smelly cow named Gummigoo. The jester had no mother, and her father...

"What the hell is the cow doing inside the house?!" shouted a raspy voice, coming from a grumpy clown.

Well, he wasn’t very handsome or graceful.

"D-Dad," Pomni nervously replied, "W-well, I thought it would be a good idea to let Gummigoo stay inside today because maybe a warm environment is what he needs to finally give us milk."

"It's not 'he,' it's 'she.' How many times do I have to tell you?" said the clown, rolling his eyes. "Only females can give milk."

Pomni gently petted the cow's head, and with a mix of nervousness and seriousness, she responded, "But what if Gummigoo... identifies as a male? Maybe that's why he isn't giving milk, maybe he’s going through an... identity crisis."

Kaufmo fell silent for a second, blinking slowly before putting his hand to his face in frustration. "Pomni, my dear," he said quietly, "It's a cow! It doesn't matter how she identifies, only females give milk!"

Pomni shrugged with a small apologetic gesture but continued to look at him with a glint in her eyes. "I just... wish things were different."

Kaufmo let out a bitter laugh and threw his hands up. "Wishes, wishes, always wishes! Believe me, I have many wishes too, Pomni. I wish you weren’t so silly, that this house wasn’t a mess, that the cow was overflowing with milk, that the walls were made of gold... Oh, believe me, my dear, I wish for a lot of things!"

He was really trying to deal with fatherhood.

Meanwhile, with the bakers...

Knock, knock, knock.

"I’m coming!" answered the king piece named Kinger, walking awkwardly and distractedly toward the door. However, when he opened it...

"There’s no one here," he said confused, looking both ways outside the door.

"Are you sure, dear?" asked the other chess piece, named Queenie, as she approached her husband. "Maybe it was the wind... or someone has already left."

Kinger frowned, perplexed. "Maybe, but something feels strange."

Just then, a strange figure appeared floating behind them, making them jump in surprise.

"Hello! I'm hungry! Do you have bread? Or maybe Angel Food Cake, please!" exclaimed a floating bubble, seeming to move at an uncontrollable speed. Its voice was a jumble of words, it wore a red hood that contrasted with its floating figure, and its gaze was unsettling, intense and fixed.

"What...?" Kinger took a step back, his eyes wide open, staring at the floating bubble that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" asked Queenie, clearly puzzled and somewhat alarmed, as she watched the strange figure approach without warning.

"I'm Bubble, but that doesn't matter," the bubble quickly replied, bouncing a bit. "I just want bread! NOT FOR ME! It’s for my grandmother. She... needs bread, and also... Angel Food Cake! She really likes it! And if you don’t have that, that’s fine! Anything, I just want bread, bread, please, for my grandmother. It’s important."

Kinger and Queenie exchanged a glance of utter disbelief, unsure of what to do or how to react to the unexpected appearance of this floating figure with a red hood speaking at full speed. Without a doubt, this day was stranger than ever.

On the other side, with the doll...

"I’m done! I’m done!" Ragatha cheerfully informed her stepmother and stepsisters.

Her stepsisters barely paid attention, but her stepmother, with her typical cold and mocking gaze, slowly walked over to inspect the doll's work.

"I’m not convinced," she said after a few seconds. "You’ll have to do something else if you want to go to the King’s festival."

Ragatha, with her face glowing with excitement, frowned, confused. "But what else could I do? I’ve finished everything..."

"Hmmm..." The stepmother thought for a moment, and after a few seconds, shouted, "Meeting!"

Hearing this, the stepsisters quickly gathered, forming a circle around the stepmother. They began to murmur among themselves, whispering and glancing at Ragatha with malicious smiles.

Ragatha, nervous, watched how they conspired in low voices. She could hear fragments of their conversation, words like "something difficult," "stay here," "an excuse," but she couldn’t understand what they were planning.

Finally, the stepmother raised her hand, and with an expression of superiority, turned toward Ragatha.

"Perfect," she said as she lifted a large jar full of lentils. With a quick movement, she dumped them onto the fireplace, letting the lentils scatter across the ashes.

"Now," she continued mockingly, "you’re going to pick up all these lentils before we finish getting ready for the ball. If you do, then you can go to the King’s festival."

Ragatha looked at the mess before her, and her face slowly sank into despair as she saw the lentils scattered everywhere.

"What are you waiting for, doll? If you don’t finish on time, you’re not going anywhere."

The stepsisters laughed among themselves as they headed to the other side of the house, leaving Ragatha with her daunting task.

Ragatha bent down, picking up the lentils one by one, feeling her frustration grow with every passing second. The minutes seemed endless, and her hope of attending the King’s festival faded more and more. However, something inside her wouldn't let her give up.

She looked out the window, where a group of birds was singing joyfully. An idea sparkled in her mind, and with a determined sigh, she stood up. With her soft, melodic voice, she began to sing:

"Birds of the sky,

Birds of the rooftops,

Leaves, fields, castles, and ponds.

Come down, little birds,

Leave the rooftops and leaves,

Leave the fields, castles, and ponds."

She sang with her soul, as if her voice could reach the heart of the birds. It wasn’t the first time she’d spoken to them; she’d always had a special connection with them. The melody flowed like a river, clear and peaceful, hoping her plea would be heard.

At first, the birds watched her from the branches, confused. But little by little, one by one, they began to approach, first cautiously, then with more confidence.

"Little friends, with feathers and wings,

Help me with this strange task.

The lentils are too many,

I can't handle them all,

Come to my aid, don’t give me more hours.

Search among the ashes,

Peck quickly, sift the ashes,

And fill the jar."

Soon, Ragatha found herself surrounded by a chorus of small birds who, following her song, began pecking and gathering the lentils scattered on the ground.

With their agile and quick movements, the birds started gathering the lentils, bringing them in small piles to the jar. Ragatha, excited, smiled as she saw how her song had worked.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "SELL IT"?!

Pomni's voice echoed through the cabin, causing Gummigoo, the cow, to lift her head from her corner where she was still eating straw. Kaufmo, for his part, was standing in front of her with his hands on his hips, looking at his daughter with an expression of extreme frustration.

"Yes, Pomni! Sell it," Kaufmo repeated, without losing his annoyed tone.

"But he’s the best cow," the jester lamented while hugging the cow.

"She was! SHE was the best cow!" Kaufmo raised his voice, annoyed. "But SHE has been dry for over a month, giving us nothing! Not a drop of milk!"

Pomni, with eyes shining with sadness, looked at Gummigoo, who was watching her peacefully. "But... he’s always been with us. Why does he have to leave now?"

"Because she’s useless, Pomni! We can't keep her here out of pity! If she doesn't give milk, it makes no sense to keep taking care of her. Someone else could make use of her, even if it's for meat or to take her somewhere else where they’ll take better care of her!"

Pomni remained silent, hugging Gummigoo, unsure of what to say.

"I can't believe you’re saying this!" she finally whispered, with a frustrated and sad voice. "He’s not just a cow, he’s my best friend in the whole world!"

"Look at her!" exclaimed Kaufmo. "She has ticks on her ribs, flies in her eyes, and a huge lump on her rear that looks more like a hump. There's no time left! She’s getting old. And besides! No one has a cow as a friend. Sometimes I fear for your mental health, daughter."

And back to the bakers who, unfortunately, were still dealing with the annoying bubble.

"Oh! And do you have any buns? I love those," said Bubble, floating closer to them.

The bakers, completely exhausted by the presence of the bubble, looked at each other. Bubble didn't seem to have any intention of leaving and kept asking for more bread.

"One is enough," he said, taking a bun from the bread basket. "Or maybe four or six."

"Hey, hey, hey," said Kinger, frowning. "How do you plan to pay for all this?"

Bubble pulled three copper coins from their pocket, shaking them in front of them with a big smile. "With this, will it be enough?"

Kinger looked at her in disbelief. "Three coins? Are you kidding?"

Queenie, already on the verge of despair, raised her hand for silence. "That will be enough, Kinger, let's not make a drama. Let he have the buns, we are not going to ruin our day for three coins."

Bubble, looking at Queenie with bright eyes, added: "And... since I'm at it, could you give me a basket to carry all this? I don't want the bread to fall on the way and leave my poor grandmother with nothing."

Queenie, with a tired smile, sighed deeply and handed over an empty basket. "Here, take it. Hey, do you know how to get to your grandmother's house? The forest can be a dangerous place."

Bubble, without stopping for a moment, replied: "Of course, of course, my grandmother's house... it's easy! I just have to follow the straight path, right? I never get lost."

"Well, don’t stop for strangers," said Queenie while helping Bubble pack the bread. "And try not to get there too late. I don't want your grandmother to get scared."

"And save some for her, okay?" added Kinger, looking at the big pile of bread Bubble had gathered. "Don’t eat it all yourself, alright?"

Bubble smiled widely. "Of course! She needs it more than me! Since sick people need to eat a lot, even though she is very old, who knows? She may already be dead by the time I get there." And with the basket filled to the brim, he turned around and floated toward the forest, without looking back.

The bakers stood there watching, very confused, as Bubble walked away. "It's finally gone," Queenie finally said, relieved.

Kinger crossed his arms and watched where Bubble had gone. "I really hope he gets lost in the woods."

And so began the strange and absolutely not ordinary day of these unique characters.

This is a kind of AU I’m planning to write! I’ve been meaning to adapt one of my favorite musicals, Into the Woods, for a while now, but I only recently found the time to start. This could count as the first chapter, and I plan to upload the whole story on Ao3 later, and maybe here on Tumblr as well.

I had so much fun writing this, even though it was a bit exhausting. The first chapter literally only covers the first 6 or 7 minutes of the musical. At first, I was undecided about whether to write the story as a musical or something more like a fairy tale (without songs). In the end, I decided to leave out the songs because I’m new to writing and wasn’t entirely happy with my first attempts at making it a musical.

I’ll try not to make too many changes to the original story, but I did omit some details to better adapt it to the world and characters of TADC.

For those who have already seen the musical (or the movie), I hope you enjoy what I’m working on. And for those who haven’t seen it yet, you absolutely should—it’s amazing!

Lastly, I want to mention that English isn’t my first language, so I’m working on improving it. I apologize for any grammatical errors you might find. 😅😅😅

ABSTRAGEDY FIC

THIS TAKES PLACE BEFORE MY OTHER FICS

It was theme song time, and no one could find Gangle. She wasn't anywhere. Ragatha has already looked in her room. Zooble hadn't really looked for her yet because they know she's gonna be ok. But they were starting to doubt themselves.

Ragatha put her hand on zoobles shoulder, causing them to step away. Ragatha realized what she did and quickly apologized.

"Oh I'm sorry..!"

"its fine."

"We can't find Gangle anywhere..! I'm starting to get worried! She's not in her room, she's not in YOUR room-"

Ragatha continued talking, but zooble didn't pick any of it up. They were too focused on the fact that she went into their room. And also that Gangle was missing. She couldn't have been far. Worst case scenario, she was abstracted in the void and they were never gonna see her again which would cause them to mentally deteriorate until they also abstract and they would suffer forever and-

"Ragatha! Stop talking and go F(bleep)ING look for her!"

"O- oh! Uhm.. I- okay!"

Ragatha ran off to look for her. Zooble started to go outside of the tent. She was probably there and not dead! Hopefully.

They walk faster until they find themselves sprinting towards the carnival. They shout her name, but it wasnt responded to. They look up at the ferris wheel. She was sitting at the top. It was turned off, so she must've been up for a long time. She looked asleep, but it waa hard to tell because she was so high up.

They sigh in relief. She's alive. They didn't stop to wonder why she was up there. They go closer to the ferris wheel and push a lever, causing the wheel to spin. Gangle jerked awake at the feeling of going down. She looked around and saw zooble at the bottom. She loved the ferris wheel. She would often go.up at night and look at the digital lake. She watched zooble up until she got to the ground. She hopped off, holding her sketchbook in one arm.

"Gangle. You scared me so f(uh oh cuss word >:()ing bad."

"I'm sorry..! I fell asleep and forgot to go back into my room and-"

"Gangle its fine. I was worried you abstracted. Please just remember to go somewhere we can find you next time.."

"I- yeah of course..!"

"I have a question."

"Yeah..?"

"Why were you there? I mean, the only reason I looked here is because no one could find you anywhere in the circus."

"Exactly."

"... What?"

"I go here because no one else does.. It isn't anyones first thought when they think of places I might be.."

"My room is one of them. When ragatha told me you were lost, she said she looked in my room for you"

Gangle giggled. Her affection and attachment for zooble wasn't a secret. Whenever she was scared, so was basically wrapped around zooble. When she was upset, wrapped around zooble. When she was excited, she was wrapped around zooble. They were her 'best friend'. Really close friends. Yeah. Zooble spoke up.

"I'll try not to bother you again when you're here."

"Wait no- Please bother me..! Wait- uh- I mean I just do don't mind when you're here.. Heh..-"

"Heh. I'll keep that in mind~"

Gangle giggled like a middle school girl talking to her crush. Except she doesn't have hair to twirl around her fingers like an idiot.

Gangle found it hard to deny or convince herself she doesn't have a crush on them. They're really cool. Zooble couldn't deny their crush on her either. Zooble loved seeing her get flustered. They knew she liked them, it was obvious. But they were still too nervous to actually have the conversation with her. They were extremely good st hiding their nervousness around her though. She wasn't.

Gangle and zooble suddenly got teleported in front of caine. Ragatha had gotten caine because she was worried. Little did she know she saved Gangle from embarrassing herself from how much she was blushing. Caine spoke in his overly energetic annoying voice.

"WHERE WERE YOU TWO! I WAS WORRIED SICK! ANYWAYS WE HAVE TO DO THE THEME SONG!"

Gangle and zooble looked at each other. They both had a look on their face. They didn't want to do any of caines things today. They wanted to hang out with each other.

After practicing the theme song again, caine started explaining the adventure. Zooble interrupted him.

"Yeah I'm not doing this. Come on Gangle."

They gently grabbed gangles ribbon arm and pulled her along with them as they walk off to their room. Caine spoke up about it, a desperate tone.

"WAIT! Zooble please! Just try it!"

"... No."

Caine looked defeated and watched as Zooble left, taking Gangle with them.

Zooble opened their door and walked in, Gangle following behind them. Once the two were in, zooble closed the door. Gangle had a feeling this was going to be the moment the two have a talk about their relationship, which is why she didn't resist being pulled with them.

Zooble sat on their bed, patting the spot next to them, silently telling her to sit next to them. She listened. She did that a lot, listen to anything they said. There was no specific reason she did. It might me a result of her trust for them. Or a result of her trauma, making her fear the consequences of being disobedient. She knew not to fear them. They are her safe person. Which is why she loves them so much.

"Gangle?"

"Yeah..?"

"I need to tell you something."

Gangles face was hot and red as she nervously nodded. It could be the best news in her entire life. Zooble spoke again.

"I like you. A lot."

Gangles eyes lit up. She kind of knew what they were gonna say, but it felt so good hearing it. She smiled/

"I like you too..!"

Zooble looked at her. Despite their emotionless (except annoyed and angry) nature, they were happy. They spoke, their voice slightly changed from their usual. They were happy.

"So are we a thing?"

"I would love to be.."

Gangle smiled as she laid her head on their arm, blushing. Zooble, despite not liking physical touch, liked HER physical touch. Only hers. So they wrapped an arm around her.

Gangle looked at them with big, happy, sweet eyes. She did that often. Zooble noticed her big eyes, chuckling quietly. She looked cute.

Gangle felt actually happy. She never really feels happy. She just doesn't feel as empty. There wasn't much things here that made her happy. Especially when Jax is alive. But zooble made her happy.

Zooble was happy too. They were never happy. Ever. But it was like there were ribbons wrapped around their heart.

The two fit perfectly together. Plastic and porcelain. Two very physically (and mentally) unstable people. Zooble was strong at what Gangle was weak at, in vice versa. But the two still had things in common.

They find themselves laying comfortably together. Gangle was better at showing affection through touch, she she was hugging all over them. Zooble wasn't good at it, but they're good at laying down and letting Gangle cuddle them.

(WHY DOES EVERYTHING END EITH CUDDLIMG OMGGG)

[ramencat12]

Draw from the heart (Abstragedy fanfic)

Ever since that day Zooble stood up to Jax for breaking Gangle's comedy mask Gangle had a strange feeling she never expected to have.

That day Gangle was in her room scribbling in her sketchbook when suddenly she kept having these thoughts about that certain figure, her cheeks flushed a shade of red

"Hm...That was really sweet of Zooble standing up for me like that" Gangle sighed

Gangle wanted to do something for Zooble to thank them but she didn't know what to do

"Maybe i could make them a drawing, im sure they would like that" Gangle though

Gangle took out her colored pencils and pieces of paper and began to draw what looked like Zooble, Gangle didn't seem very confident with how the drawings would come out she would toss them out and start over.

"Agh i can't seem to do it right!" Gangle said as she walked away from her desk and dropped onto her bed

"Oh its no use...i can't do it they probably won't even like it" Gangle sobbed she didn't seem very confident with her skills, then she heard a knock on the door

"Gangle are you okay? i heard you crying" cried a familiar voice

Gangle then got back up from her bed and went to open the door, It was Ragatha

"O-Oh hi Ragatha" Gangle sighed

Ragatha then noticed the pile of crumbled up paper on the floor and inside the trash she looked at Gangle with a worried look

"I-Im sorry if my room is a mess...Im trying to draw something for someone" Gangle sobbed

"Oh, for who?" Ragatha asked

"I wanted to draw something for Zooble...the way they stood up to me was very sweet i wanted to make something for them as a way to say thank you, but no matter how much i try i just can't seem to get the drawing right...i don't even see why i try they probably don't like me" Gangle covers her face

Ragatha felt sorry for Gangle she wanted to do something to help

"Gangle listen...You can't give up already i know you want to make this drawing for Zooble but you shouldn't push yourself down and give up already, i know Zooble would appreciate the drawing very much" Ragatha told Gangle in a comforting tone

"Y-You think so?" Gangle asked

"Of course they will" Ragatha replied

Then Gangle took a deep breath and smiled

"Thanks Ragatha...but i still don't know if its gonna look good"

"Gangle you are an amazing artist i know its going to look great, you just have to draw from the heart"

Then as soon as Gangle heard the word "Draw from the heart" she sat back at her desk and started drawing feeling confident.

as minutes passed she was finished, Gangle looked at the drawing proudly as Ragatha looked with admiration.

"Gangle this looks amazing i always knew you were an amazing artist!" Ragatha exclaimed as she had both of her hands together

"Eheh...Thanks" Gangle smiled

Then Gangle looked back at the drawing

"Do you think Zooble will like it?" Gangle asked

"Gangle i know Zooble will love it" Ragatha replies

Gangle then smiled "Well...i hope you're right, thanks for helping me Ragatha"

"Happy to help" Ragatha smiled

Then Gangle leaves her room as she waved to Ragatha before she left to look for Zooble to give them the drawing

Gangle then sees Zooble near the stage, Gangle's face flushed a bright red as she squeaked in embarrassment but with a deep breath she worked up the courage to go give the drawing to Zooble.

"Uhhh hi Zooble"

"Hm?" Zooble turned to Gangle

Gangle's face then flushed to a brighter shade of red

"A-Ah umm...i wanted to give you this" Gangle hands Zooble the drawing

Zooble was surprised as they looked at the drawing in admiration

"You drew this...for me?" Zooble asked

"Yeah...it was a way of saying thank you im sorry if it doesn't look very good but i do hope you like it anyway…" Gangle looked away fidgeting with her hands as she shyly looked away

Zooble was flattered and didn't know what to say, then Zooble's face felt warm

"You know...i think it looks great" Zooble assured Gangle

Gangle looked back at Zooble in surprise

"Y-You do!?"

"Well yeah...I think it was really thoughtful that you drew something for me" Zooble said

Gangle was speechless for a moment but she was very happy to know that Zooble liked the drawing.

"Hehe…well I’m glad you like it Zooble" Gangle smiled

"Well i appreciate it very much" Zooble then patted Gangle on the back "You're a pretty good artist you know?" Zooble told Gangle

Then Gangle blushed from the compliment

"Really you think so!?" Gangle said

"Well yeah...if you want maybe is it alright if i could come by and check out your drawings sometime?" Zooble asked rubbing the back of their neck as they looked away for a moment.

Then Gangle smiled as she squealed

"EEEEEE Of course i would love to!" Gangle exclaims

Zooble smiled seeing her all excited but then caught a bit by surprise as Gangle grabbed them by the hand, they both looked at each other and their faces were red.

"Uhh…sorry do you want me to let go?" Gangle asked

"No no its alright you don't have to let go" Zooble replied

"Alright...i think you're really cool Zooble" Gangle told Zooble with a bashful smile

"Heh...you're pretty cool too" Zooble replied as they blushed

Then they both walked in the hallway as they talked together.

The Emergent Digital City

Summary of the Fic. By: @enby-denby

"The year is 2085, and Virtual Commuting is now a common practice for work and recreation. Dozens of companies, some as old as Intel and Apple but also up-and-comers such as C&A, now conduct 100% of their business through neural links and proxy agents, to minimize liability and maximize profitability. Depending on the level of integration and life support infrastructure, these VC systems can keep people in a digital workspace for hours, days, months or even years."

A young woman (Pomni) is pulled into a world of crime, intrigue, and overstimulating light and noise. The only thing keeping her sane (and alive) Is the cyber-assassin Ragatha, kindling something long suppressed within both of them. Together, along with a merry band of misfit criminals, they are on a mission to take down the evil corporation controlling the Digital city and gunning for their lives. If you ever wanted to read a Novelization of The Amazing Digital Circus co-authored by William Gibson in his Sprawl/Bridge trilogy era, this is the fanfic for you!

Ships: Showtime, BunnyDoll, abstragedy, Checkmates

___________________________________________

Pomni was roaming the corridors of the Tent, she stopped and saw The cast members gathered around in a circle, looking at something on the floor

Zooble: Ew what is that thing?

Gangle: It kinda looks like a giant booger...

Jax: Why are we staring at this thing? This is like, the least weird thing here

Kinger: Look! Look! Its moving! its Alive!

Pomni tilted her head and walked over

Pomni: What are you all doing?

Queenie turned her head to Pomni

Queenie: Pomni, Dearie! You're close to Caine, do you know what this is?

She walked over and joined the circle, on the floor was a big green splat on the floor, It like Jello in process of rotting only it was pulsating gently like a slime mold

Pomni: wah- what is this?

Kinger: we don't really know, do think its edible?

Jax: I dunno, you should Try it

Ragatha: No, No you shouldn't! You dont know what it is

Pomni: Its probably nothing, maybe I should go ask Caine-

Gangle: Look! Its moving again!

The Splat Was pulling itself together and forming a small piller, The top of it Swelled bigger and bigger like bubble, until it stood atop of a thin neck connecting it to the body, the body slouched due to the weight of the bulbous head

Everyone was staring at it with awe as the slime took form of a vaguely humanoid shape, A single, Big, Bright Orange Eye opened

???: Wah- huh?- What the- where- where am I?

The voice of a young boy came out of the slimes mouth, his one eye shooting across the room and then staring quietly the cast members, The slime meekishly backed up form the cast members

???: w-whats going on?!

His voice was shivering with anxiety and confusion

Pomni: Oh my God thats kid!

She rushed over to the Boy, his breath audibly becoming heavy

Pomni: Are you okay?! Look, I-I know this is Scary but-

She was Cut off when The Child started Screaming like a Banshee

???: WHAT THE (BLOINK!) ARE YOU PEOPLE?! WHAT AM I?! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!

The Child slinked away and splated on the floor, he quickly pulled Himself Up and slithered away, Yelling like he was being murdered

The other Circus members trying to calm him down and catch him, He crashed into a trash bin and a weird looking Muppet thing with fly wings and antenna spilled out and crashed on the floor

Rogerg: GAH- WHAT THE (HONK)?!

The muppet and the slime just stared at eachother for bit before the fly puppet thing started shouting at the top of his lungs

Rogerg: CAAAAAIINE!! THEIRS A GIANT BOOGER IS TORMENTING MY LIFE GET IT OOOUUUTTT!!!! GET IT OOUUUUUUTTTT!!!

The Slime leaped over the trash can, his body compacted into a sphere and started Bouncing all over the Circus, the Child screaming while he controllably spurng around the tent

Caine: Did Someone Called for me?!

Caine looked at the slimeball darting across the room and he grabbed him by the back of the neck, his gooey body went limp like a kitten, He sat him down on the floor, patting his head

Caine: Their you go! All better!

The boy was just silent, breathing quietly the confusion and fear still plastered on his face

Caine: You alright son? You look you've seen a ghost!

The Boy: .....Am.... Am I Dead? Because this doesn't look like heaven or Hell...

Caine chuckled and put his hand on his shoulder

Caine: No my Slimy friend! You certainly not Dead but digitally reborn! You my boy have entered A Digital world of Endless Fun and Adventure!!

The Boy perked up alittle

The boy: ....Adventure? Like... Dragons and Zombies?

Caine: Thats certainly a possibility!!

The Boy: That Sounds Sick!!

The Child's body bounced up and down, the confusion on his face turned into wonder and excitement

Caine was taken aback alittle about how Excited he was, usually new humans panicked and screamed at him when He explained the Digital world, but he was excited and even happy about His predicament

Caine: it certainly is "sick" my Boy! Let me show you around town!

He picks him up by his back againn and teleported him outside and told him all about the Grounds

The Boy: WOW! A free Carnival! They never let me in Carnivals! Awesome!

Caine: Now Thats the spirit son!! So glad you like it!

Caine teleported them back to the tent, and sat the Boy down next to the rest of the cast

They Boy: This place is epic!! I never wanna Leave!!

Caine: Love the enthusiasm Son! Im sure you'll have a great time!

The Boy: Yeah! I gotta go tell everyone about this place! There all gonna be so Jealous!!

The Boy sprinted to the door before stoping in his tracks coming to a terrifying realization

Where did he live? Where was everyone else? What was His name again? He didn't even remember what His face even looked like

He shuttered, Everything he knew was erased, his body became dead still, terror frozen on her face

He slowly turned his face back to the Ringmaster

The Boy: How..... How... Do I... Leave?

Everyone was uncomfortably silent and looking around, Jax tried to say something but Ragatha Shut him up

Pomni: Um.... Now don't freak out... but We... There isn't.... We don't Actually know....

The Boy: What Do you mean Dude?! I'm stuck here forever?!

Jax: Well yeah pretty much

Ragatha: Jax!

Jax: What? He was going to find out eventually!

The Boy was just Quiet, His pupil retracted and His mouth went agap, He started hyperventilating

The Boy: I CAN’T LEAVE?! I CAN’T GO BACK HOME?!

His Gelatinous body starting shivering which looked a bit like jiggling, his eye started watering, His breath starting coming out in shaky spruts

Pomni: Hey! Hey! It'll be okay! ...Just ...Try to... um...

Ragatha: Think Positive! Its really not so bad here!...

The Child's crying became more profuse The cast tried to comfort him, embedding the tragic reality into His Head

Caine Quietly: Not again...

Caine looked the Child With sympathy, This ALWAYS happens whenever a new human eneters and never knew what to do to help them, Only it was worse this time because It was a Child, an innocent Child who was probably missing his Parents, his friends...

Wait... Friends... Pals... Caine got an idea

Caine: WELP! Son, you certainly got yourself into a pretty psychology damaging predicament, Which means theres only One thing to do!!

The Child looked up at him, Tears still in his eyes and Cast trying to comfort him

The Boy: .....What?

Caine: Social Therapy!!

The Boy: *sniff* what?...

Caine Took his baton and summoned a closed stage curtain

Caine: I give you.... Your Psychological Aid Liaisons!!

The Curtain opened and reveled 6 younger looking cast members

Caine: Your P.A.LS!!

The Boy looked at Caine confused and then the Pals, One who was a Black Chess piece like one of the Cast members, randomly fell on his face, The Boy looks back at Caine perplexed

Caine: Thats Right! These Googly Little Guardians are here to Bring you Endless Comfort and tranquility in Your lowest points in Life! Not To mention Tons and Tons Of Fun!

The Boy: ...What?

Before The Boy could question futher a Pal ran up to him, They were Brightly colorful like the circus they were in and made of Random shapes and parts, they could hardly run due to their fragile, lopsided body, They Shook his slimey with their ribbony one

Niku: Afternoon! My name is Niku, What a wonderful day it is such a swell person such as you!

The Boy: um... Okay-

A Rabbit Ragdoll, covered in Patches, bumped into Niku, toppling them over and smashing into pieces

Patchricia: Nice to meet'cha New friend! Cupcake?

She offered him a cupcake shaped like a bunny

The Boy: Um... I-Im good

Patchricia: suit yaself!

She ate the cupcake herself, two Chess pieces wearing Pink and Blue robes walked up Him and curtsyed

Princessa: A Pleased im sure, My Name is Princessa and this my Brother Princely

Princely: Hello! I like how green you are! Im certain we will be good friends!

Princely Extended his floating hand to him, The Boy slinked away in response, Princessa it and moved Her brother out of His way

Next, A Pal with Soma cube for a Head and one green eye went up to him, their calm and professional demeanor a contrast to the cutesy sailor suit they were wearing

Qwerty: Greetings, My name is Qwerty, I am here to assist with any inquiries or tasks you may have, Please let me know how I can be of service

Their monotonous and flat voice was unsettling to him, almost creepy sounding

The Boy: Uh-huh sure...

Qwerty: Alright then

They walked away and joined the Pals Who were helping Niku put them selves back together and adding new parts to them

Patchricia: sorry bout that, I got too excited

Nikus voiced changed to one androgynous to more high pitched and feminine

Niku: *Sniffle* oh no no no its all my fwault!!

Qwerty: unreasonable reason, Patchricia was the one who pushed you

The boy just stared at the absolute absurdity of the Artificial "Intelligences" that were supposed to help him

Ragtha: Isn't this great! Look at the new friends you have!

The Boy just stared with a dumbfounded face

Caine: One... Two... Three... wait, Wheres-

M' ere!

A little tooth-headed Boy wearing orange suspenders and a striped shirt ran up to the Ringmaster with Chocolate sauce all over his face

Caine: Ah! Enock! There you are Son!

Enock: I made a Chocolate foutain In the Bafroom!

Caine: Thats great champ! Say, why don't you go say to our new friend!

Enock: New Friend?! Well Hotdog! I love New friends!

Enock looked over to The slime Boy, He was bouncing up and down with Excitement, the Boy looked at him like he had two heads instead of a tooth one

Enock ran over as fast he could, and hugged and shaked him as hard as could, Squishing His Gooey body against him

Enock: HI! My names Enock!! I like to Sing and Dance and wear suspenders with my pants... Hey that Ryhmed!! Do you like it here?! I love it here! We can love it here together! Golly Gosh! You sure are Green! Like broccoli! I dont like broccoli, But I like YOU! Also your eye is my favorite color! And!... and...

Enock noticed The Boy was absolutely terrified by his over excitement so he went quiet as everyone else

Qwerty: ...I believe you have frightened him Enock

Enock: ....im sorry...

He looked down on the floor ashamed and sad he screwed up at an introduction so badly

Pomni and Caine looked at their child sympathetically, They hated seeing him so upset

Pomni: Hey um.. Enock.. why don't you go show your New friend Around the Tent?

Caine: Great Idea Love! Enock! Go show our little green friend The Magic of The Circus!

Enock: Really!? Hotdog!!

He jumped in the air with excitement

Patchricia: aw c'mon! Why does HE getta do it!?

Ragatha: PATCHRICIA!

Patchricia: I'm Sorry!

Later Enock was walking with The Boy through the Halls of the circus and they came to a colorful door with the words 'The Learning Room' in puffy, bold letters on it,

He opened the door to show a cartoony classroom with a alphabet puzzle carpet, circle tables spread across the area, arts and crafts covered the walls and storty books on the shelves and Big chalkboard with random doodles and phrases on it

Enock: Dishisda School room! We learn lossa things here! Like scince, Engrish, maff, arts, and Gramma! imma... not very good at dat last one... or tha others... ebendo.. My uncle is the teacher... and my dad is literally god... But das Okay! Because- Hey where'd ja go?

The Boy wasn't listening to Him, He was Staring into the affirmation mirror at his own reflection, a disconcert and absolute disturbed expression looking staring back at him

The Boy: This.... This... Isn't my face... I don't look like this...

Enock tilted his head

Enock: wattdiya mean? Weren't you Born slimy?

The Boy: ..... I don't know... I... I try to remember my face... my name...

His voice became shaky

The Boy: But... But its like it never existed in the first place...

Enock: Nothing?! Na' even your friends?... or your family? An all the People who love you?....

The Boy's voice hitches and Started tearing up...

The Boy: No... I- I don't...

Enock's demeanor quickly went from happy to one of sorrow

Enock: I.... I... *gasp* I know! You wanna A hug? Dey always make everything better!

He went up to him, arms outstretched to hug the distressed Boy, But The boy slid away from Enock's kind gesture

The Boy: N-no!

He had a bothersome manner like Enock was doing something absurd or wrong, Enock put his arms down embarrassed and twiddling his nonexistent fingers

Enock: well... Do you... Do you wanna go play with other pals with me?

The Boy: .....Sure

Later, Enock took The Boy to the Pal's Clubhouse, Inside they were all sitting in a circle sharing Cookies and Chips and talking with eachother

Patchricia: So I Ended up accidentally spilling the batter all over my dress and I, like, literally Jumped six feet in the air! Now, I know it was just batter, but it was like, in that weird goop phase that I hate, Like, Slimy things are just gross and I hate them

The Boy gave Patchricia a dirty look

Patchricia: Oh! um... No offense to you of course! Im sure you're very nice and clean!

Princessa: Tch! I really don't get your obsession with everything having to be sparkly clean all the time, gosh you're so dramatic!

Patchricia: Oh really? If you're so chill bout Dirty things, why don't I go dump Trash all over your perfect, clean, sparkly room?

Princessa: oh Nonono! Please dont do that!

Niku: I Find trash quite exhilarating experience! I get to discover all sorts of new bits and pieces and rebirth them into parts! And I also I can be in the presence of My Uncle!

Princly: Oh yeah Uncle Rogerg Is awesome! Hes so sweet and nice!

Patchricia: Oh yeah! Like, I wouldn't touch him without a towl but hes awesome!

Everybody started talking about how they love Uncle Rogerg, confuseing the Boy

The Boy: wait... you're not talking about the weird Muppet thing that lives in the trash are you?

Niku: Tehe! No silly im talking about my Uncle Rogerg! He's a felt marionette that lives in the garbage

The Boy was looking at them all weird when he noticed the absence of someone

The Boy: hey, wheres the Blockhead?

Princessa: Qwerty has a Special Curriculum, apparently, their learning how to make new worlds and people!

Princely: oh Yeah! They're like the smartest person ever!

Patchricia: They can pretty much do anything

Princessa: A true Renaissanceman in the humble package of an Everyman

Enock: They are also my cousin! Didja know that?!

He shook the Boy a little

Niku: That is true Enock, but you certainly act opposite!

Patchricia: I know right? Its like your not even related at all

Enock slowly quieted down, The boy tilted his head to look at him, he looked like something distressing him was on his mind

The Boy: So... what do you guys do all day exactly?

Niku: were all here to make people happy and help them when feeling distressed

Princely: that or were at school

Patchricia: or playing minigames

The Boy: okay, cool... so what do the Adults do? Do they have Jobs? Or do they wander around aimlessly too?

Enock: OH! OH! My Dad makes them all cool adventures that they can go everyday! Hes really REALLY cool and make Cool worlds and People and Makes everybody happy! And someday Imma learn ta make em Too someday! And- And- And- When I do, imma make all sorts of cool things and make everybody happy!! And- And- And- An- An- An- ima Make all sorta kewl things like A diner Run by Talking dinosaurs and make Magic hotdogs!! And then imma make a magic Moose that tells your the darkest desires and Birds that throw up more birds and giant skeleton hands that pick up you and takes you to nirvana! or giraffes that are actually snakes!-

Enock started endlessly rambling about random weird things, he was talking so fast it started sounding like absoulte gibberish and started shaking his hands and stomping his feet

When he calmed down, He noticed everyone was looking at him like he was deranged, especially The Boy

The Boy: ....dude...What is wrong with you?

Enock meekly hid his face in his knees

Niku: So... Adventures! They're funnest!

Princessa: You know yesterday, Father told about me that they explored a Cave full of gemstones, He told me it was Magical! I wish I was there with him

The Boy: what? Can't you?

Patchricia: No, Mr. Caine said their to dangerous for us, we do get to do other things instead though

The Boy: well... im not one of you guys, so can I go?

Princely: Well im sure you figure out when Mr. Caine announces the next one tomorrow

Enock: OH! OH! You're gonna love my Dad! He's like the coolest ever!! You're gonna love him! He tells Me all sorts of smart things!

Enock started grabbed The Boy and playfully shaking him faster and faster

Enock: Like- Like- Why We should never pay taxes! Or How bathing in toothpaste is actually good for you, and it also feels nice because its minty! I like the Mango flavored one because I like mangos! Did you know Mangos and cashews are cousins? Thats because cashews come from a fru-

Enock accidentally pushed the boy onto the floor, splattering him all over the other Pals

The Boy: OW!- *Splat!*

Patchricia: EW! EW! EW! EWWWW!! ENOCK YOU CLUTZ!!

Princely: Enock, Why'd you do that?!

Enock looked absolutely humiliated, and grabbed his long eyestalks on the sides of head and covered his face and left the club house, leaving The boy a splat on the floor

At night, The boy found a little playmat to use as a blanket, He was trying to get comfy but everytime he tried to relax he oozed out of the blanket not to mention a jelly body wasn't exactly comfortable for him, He hated this body that wasn't his, he hated this place that wasn't his home, he hated all the weird and annoying people in this Dumb, stupid Circus, He just wanted to go home but he couldn't even fathom what 'home' even felt like, did he ever? Will he ever know? He curled himself underneath the blanket which he oozed out of

The Boy: Ugh! This place sucks (CAR HORN)!

Enock: How'd you dodat with your mouth?

Great, The Crazy Clown boy was back, it COULD get worse than this

Enock: Wire you sleeping onda floor?

The Boy: Go Screw yourself freak! You're making everything worse!

Instead of screwing off he sat down on the floor and scouched himslef closer to him

Enock: 何が問題なの?

The Boy: Stop! Just Stop! Everything here is so freaking weird! I just... I just wanna go home, But I dont even now what home is! I dont even remember what normal feels like and YOU being a total weirdo freakazoid IS. NOT. HELPING. So go AWAY!

The Boy: Ugh, can my life get any worse??

Enock: Do You... wanna A hug? Dey always make everything better!

He extended his arms to hug him, but he slithered away from him, His gelatinous body literally boiling and bubbling like a angry Cat hissing at a puppy, but Enock's arms were still extended

Enock: C'mon! It'll help!

The boys body sizzled louder, making the blanket burn off his body

Enock: ... pretty please?

Pomni far away: Ennie! Its Time for Bed!

Enock hesitated to leave for a bit, before sprinting away to his room, The boy continued helplessly to try to get comfortable on the hard floor, He felt his eye start to water and he started to weep, he didn't know why he was here, or what this place even his he just wanted to go home,

but... did he know even know home was?
