Chapter 1: Who I Am

      A/N: If you read the summary, then you know I'm doing this mostly for the reads (and also because Jax is cool...). Real fast, I'm going to name you "Tessa" for the first bit of this story, but I can assure you that your real name is going to pop up later in the story and become important... assuming this doesn't turn into one of those stories I lose confidence in and unpublish. *TELL ME IF YOU THINK THIS IS GOOD AND I SHOULD WRITE MORE!!!*

     And I am currently working on another story (the FNAF one in my profile), so chapters will most likely be short (as in, 700-1,200 words, with the exception of this one) and/or kind of long in-between. I'm really excited to write this right now, so updates will probably be fairly frequent for a while, but if this turns into a story I get invested in, updates will become weekly (or have some sort of consistency). Anyways, I hope people enjoy this! I was pretty skeptical of The Amazing Digital Circus at first, but after watching it I'd be lying if I said I didn't need episode 2 to come out ASAP. Watch it if you haven't, there's a 97% chance you'll love it!

     I have... the world's biggest headache. I'm insanely dizzy, and even though my eyes are open, I can barely make out the weird, primary-colored shapes that are surrounding me.

     I let out a groan and try to sit up. Was I knocked out? Was I shocked? The headset I just put on was one of the prototypes, so that would explain why I'm so disoriented (I knew I should've picked a different one). I blink a few times to clear my vision, and soon enough I can identify the shapes, as well as...

     "Ow!" I exclaim, having felt someone flick the back of my head. "What the heck was that for?!"

     Turning around to confront whoever had touched me, I'm surprised to see a... a character.

     "Ooh, a new one!" the character exclaims. "Hey Pomni, check it out! Another newbie for you to slowly go crazy with."

     I tilt my head to the side as I observe the character. He's tall and rabbit-like, except that he's standing on two feet and is wearing a (somewhat annoying) grin on his face. Everything except for his smile and eyes are a blue-ish purple, and he's wearing pink overalls and yellow gloves. It's odd, but under different circumstances I'd say he's almost cute. In a cartoon-character sort of way, of course.

     "Oh... Jax, I don't think that's the impression you'll want her to-" a new voice started, before being interrupted by someone else.

     "A new character! How wonderful!" they announced. I'm baffled by their appearance. Everything shoulders down is normal for the most part, then his head... well, if you can even call it that, consists of a set of teeth with eyes inside. His shiny red coat and black pants, with the addition of his top hat and cane, gives me ringmaster vibes...

     "I... I don't understand..." I mutter. "Who are you...?"

     "I'm Caine! And welcome to the circus!" he says enthusiastically. "What are you still on the ground for? Come on, my dear, get up!"

     I realize that he's right about me still being on the floor, and I shakily stand up. For some reason I feel... different. I look down at myself to see if something is off, and I can't believe what I'm seeing. I don't think I can be more "off"!

     "Oh my gosh!" I shriek. "Why the heck do I look like this?!"

     "You could've gotten worse," someone comments. "At least you don't look like a 1st grade art project."

     My eyes widen at the sight of a weird amalgamation of brightly-colored shapes, put together in a vaguely humanoid form. At this point I'm certain things can't get weirder, until I see four more characters.
