Stuck (TADC x f!reader)

Chapter 1: Introducing...THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS

"...WHAT!?" I practically screamed, making everyone wince but the rabbit.

I began clawing at my face. "No...no...nononononono- GET THIS OFF OF ME!" Instead of pulling off the headset, I ended up ripping out my eyeball...literally, making me scream.

"Oh, let me help you with that." The King chess piece walked up to me and stuck the eyeball back in its socket. "There. Ha! I remember my first wild take."

I blinked as my vision adjusted, I was hyperventilating. "This can't be happening...wait- so your all real? Like real life people?!"

They all nodded.

"And we're all stuck here."

They nodded again.

"Nice." I said before passing out.

The first the I felt was something warm wet and sticky smothering my face, and I woke up to find a bubble licking me. I shrieked and backed up.

"Nice work, Bubble!" A pair of floating dentures in a tuxedo said proudly, lifting me to my feet.

"W-what happened?" I asked, holding my head.

"You passed out, are you alright?" The doll asked.

"Physically. Who are you people??"

"Well well well! Looks like she is a human after all!" The teeth announced.

"Wait-your not??"

"Nope! I'm a loud and proud NPC! AHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAH- Anyway, my name is Caine, and I'm your ringmaster!" He put his arm around my shoulder. "Now allow me to introduce you to everyone! That's Kinger," He pointed to the chess piece who waved cheerfully. "That's Gangle." He pointed to a ribbon with a comedy mask who was drawing something in her notebook. "That's Zooble." He pointed to the shapes who waved nonchalantly. "That's Jax." He pointed to the rabbit who grinned at me mischievously. "That's Ragatha." He pointed to the doll who waved, still looking at me with concern. "And that's Kaufmo!" He pointed to the depressed-looking clown. "Now, what's your name?"

"I'm-uh...my name is...UM, WHY CANT I REMEMBER MY OWN NAME!?" I began to panic.

"Nobody can remember their name once they enter THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS!" Caine exclaimed.

"The amazing what?-"

"Now how about we pick you out a new one?" He interrupted, summoning a slot machine that spun for a bit until it spelled out....

"My name is not gonna be 'fart'." I said.

"I dunno, it kinda suits you." Jax remarked.

"Gee, thanks."

"So Fart it is, then?" Caine asked.

"NO!" I exclaimed. "Spin it again please."

He spun it again until it spelled out: (y/n)

"How about (y/n)?"

I shrugged. "Sure, is there a place where I can-"

"Gadzooks! We should have an adventure to show you how things work around here!" Caine suddenly exclaimed.

"What do you mean by-"

He snapped his fingers and suddenly we were all in banana suits.

"Caine what the @$&#!?" Zooble exclaimed.

I blinked at the bonk sound instead of the swear, apparently you couldn't swear here. Well, that was perk number 1.

"Today's adventure is called...RUN FROM THE MAN-EATING GORILLA!" Caine announced. He snapped his fingers and a giant gorilla appeared. "This is Shelby, and you all will have 5 minutes to hide before I release her to find and eat you all!"

"Wait what?" I asked.

"Your adventure begins in 3..."

"HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE!"

"2..."

"HOW DO I TAKE THIS BANANA OFF!?"

"GO!"

We all sprinted off in various directions and I had absolutely no idea where I was going. Eventually, I ran into some kind of room with some enormous playground equipment.

"That'll do." I panted and climbed up the rock wall, then hid inside some kind of plastic tunnel right as I heard the timer go off.

I sighed with relief. "Just in time."

"Well hello there."

The sound of someone behind me made me jump and hit my head on the roof of the tunnel, then I quickly turned to find Ajax behind me, grinning mischievously.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"Same thing as you." He replied, crawling in beside me with difficulty. "Trying to not get turned into banana pudding."

"Shh! Talk quietly, it might hear us!"

"Y'know, you owe me for throwing me into that football goal." He pointed at me.

"It was an accident-"

"Sure you accidentally threw me fourty feet in the air." He made finger quotes.

"I didn't know you weren't an npc I-"

Just then, the ground rumbled beneath us right as I saw the shadow of the gorilla enter the room, sniffing for us.

"Oh nonononono." I whispered.

"Looks like you're on the menu first." He suddenly whispered, a gleam in his eye.

"Don't you even dare-" Before he could finish he pushed me out of the tunnel and I fell at least ten feet before slamming into the ground with an 'oomph'!

Just then, I felt something wet drip onto my head and I froze, slowly looking up to discover the gorilla right above me. I barely had time to scream before everything went black.

"Wake up, everybody!" Caine exclaimed.

Me and several others shot up with a scream.

"Well that adventure sure was a doozy! Too bad there can only be one winner." He continued.

"Who won?" I asked weakly.

"Drumroll please, Bubble." Bubble appeared and opened his mouth and made a drumroll sound. "The winner is...Jax!"

Jax mocked a bow. "Oh thank you, thank you. So, do I get a prize or what?"

"In fact you do!"

"Wh- since when did you start giving prizes?" Zooble exclaimed.

"Since right now." Caine replied. "Jax, your prize is a...good feeling!"

Jax stared blankly at him, unimpressed. "That's it?"

"Yep! Welp, time to go plan the next adventure!" With that he disappeared, leaving us all to do our own thing.

Everyone walked off either to chat or just hang out, meanwhile I stayed still and was staring into space wondering how on earth I was gonna get out of here.
