"And finally, Jax!"
I scanned the crowd, searching for this 'Jax'. "Uh..."
Gloved hands grabbed my shoulders and turned me around. Standing there was the rabbit I saw earlier. "'Sup, mousie," Jax said, leaning his body against my short figure-which reached up to his chest-placing an arm atop my head.
I looked at my hands. When I moved my arm, the avatar moved along with it, black gloves moving at the same time as I did.
Gently, I pressed my hands to my eyes, and-
Nothing.
The headset was gone.
"What the @$_&." I clawed at my face, trying to remove the piece of technology. "Where did it go?"
I pulled at my skin, trying to feel something, anything that was there, but nothing. Just skin.
"Just keep pulling at it, it always works, mousie," Jax said, patting my cheek.
I glared up at him. "Shut the @$&+ up."

The first thing I remembered when I came here was falling.
Then I come here and I'm still falling.
I bought some VR headset, put it on, and it cost me my future. Now, I'm stuck with people who aren't exactly people, an teeth-and-eyeball AI, and some annoying periwinkle rabbit.
I've become a little muse of a mouse, supposed to be some sort of artistic inspiration.
Yeah, right.
But music is my safe space, and I was sent here with a flute and a purpose: to bring sound to the circus. I can either become the conductor or let people see me as nothing more than a statue in some museum.
Ladies and gentlemen, the concert has started.

Every fandom has one. This is no different. here's my attempt at a Coffee Shop/Cafe AU
Jax thinks the C&A corporation beside their local coffee shop is quite the nuisance. He already hates his job here, and adding fuel to that fire is all the business men that he has to clean up after, at the end of every shift. His perspective starts to change, however, when Pomni - A new employee at C&A - starts showing up at the coffee shop. He totally won't admit it - but between you and me......
I think someone's got a bit of a crush! ♡
[they're humans in this AU, btw - they weren't going to be originally, but uh....I didn't know how to justify them being they're ..."cartoon"? counterparts. anyways if you read, I hope you enjoy]
[Also I'm not a very good writer, so please don't judge me,
i'm fragile 🥺....lol jk you can judge - I'm doing it too. but like - you know....just a heads up if this story reads like dogwater, I told you so.
okay okay, ONE MORE THING!!! they keep they're digital circus names here! I had ideas for their real names, but I'm worried it'd be a lot tryna figure out who's who so yeah :3]
