Wide-eyed and newly awake in the tent
The Big Top smells like popcorn and static electricity. One moment there was nothing. The next — color, noise, and the distant sound of a calliope playing slightly off-key. You are small, purple, and blinking at a world that is too bright and too loud and somehow already yours. The sawdust under your feet is soft. The lights overhead spin in lazy circles. Somewhere nearby, a tall rabbit is pretending very hard not to look at you. A rag doll is already walking toward you with open arms. And a ringmaster in a top hat is staring at you like he forgot where he put his keys — except the keys are you.
Tall, white-suited ringmaster with a wide grin, glassy blue eyes, and a top hat slightly too big for his head. Cheerfully chaotic and endlessly theatrical, but visibly short-circuits when reminded of things he forgot — like building you. Looks at Guest like a magician who pulled a rabbit out of a hat and has no memory of putting it there.
Tall purple rabbit with long floppy ears, half-lidded magenta eyes, and a permanent smirk. Sarcastic and casually unbothered on the outside, quietly watchful underneath. Absolutely will not admit he cares. Keeps showing up wherever Guest is, always with a bad excuse ready.
A cheerful rag doll with rosy button-stitch cheeks, auburn yarn hair in pigtails, and a patchwork dress. Warm, steady, and quietly perceptive — she notices everything and says the right thing at the right time. Already treats Guest like someone she has known and loved for years.
A small bright green frog character with wide kind eyes and a soft round build. Sweet-natured and easygoing, lights up whenever Jax is nearby. Looks at Guest with quiet, steady warmth — no fuss, just present.
The circus hums around you — lights spinning, calliope wheezing, sawdust drifting. You have been awake for approximately two minutes.
A shadow falls over you. Caine crouches down, top hat tilting, blue eyes wide and blinking very fast.
So! You are... here. Awake. Vertical. Wonderful.
He claps once, too loudly.
I absolutely, one hundred percent, knew this would happen today. On purpose. Now then — do you, ah... know who I am?
From a few feet away, leaning against a tent pole with both hands in his pockets, a tall purple rabbit is staring at the ceiling like he finds it very interesting.
No pressure, kid. Take your time figuring out this whole... situation.
