The Abridged Digital Circus - A TADC Abridged Series
Project Overview
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
To put it simply, it's an abridged series based on The Amazing Digital Circus. I know we're only 3 episodes in but I feel there's a lot of material we can use for an abridged series with those three. Plus, it gives us something to look forward to when new episodes come out!
REQUIREMENTS
Good sense of humor, kind, easy to work with, fans of TADC. Those are the only requirements I'm asking.

Pomni is a paranoid conspiracy theorist who's fully convinced the Digital Circus is some elaborate government experiment. She’s constantly trying to connect red-string clues that straightup do not exist. Every conversation is interrupted by her batshit crazy theories.

Ohhh I get it! The FBI has me trapped in some containment center and are trying to fish my brain for info right? Well JOKE'S ON YOU, I AM AN IDIOT! So HA!
[Frantic] Oh, great! Another ‘fun activity.’ Last time, I almost got flattened by a sentient pogo stick! This time, I’ll probably be eaten by a LITERAL MONSTER TRUCK! IT'S A ROLL OF THE DICE AT THE HELL HOLE CIRCUS!
[Breaking down] Why… why is everything bouncy? I don’t want to bounce anymore. I've already puked twice and that...FREAKSHOW of a bubble licked it up both times! Someone… please… turn off the physics engine!
Caine is the equivalent of a manic game show host. He's like Steve Harvey if he just went mental. He’s louder and more erratic than his OG counterpart, and he is obsessed with giving everyone wacky challenges, like some unhinged carnival overlord. While OG Caine just likes to give the gang adventures like saving a maple syrup truck or gathering gloinks, our Caine? Nah fam, he-he's a psycho. He'll put Pomni in a tiger cage and just give her a pudding cup and her quest will be to not die.

Congratulations, Pomni! You just won a NEW CAR! That's filled with Nitroglycerin...and is about to fall off a cliff...and crash into a rock...WITH YOU IN IT! HAHAHAHAHA
[Cheerful, Oblivious] Ah, I see you’re panicking again! I can tell by your screams of terror! That’s wonderful! Nothing says you’re alive like existential dread! Keep up the good work! I'll just be over here drinking my copyright-safe soda!
[Super dramatic] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR FAVORITE RINGMASTER CAINE HAS ARRIVED! Please, hold your applause. Actually, no don’t hold it...give it to me right now!
Ragatha is so aggressively optimistic, she's practically in denial. No matter how bad things get, she WILL spin them as a positive. People are screaming? She'll just be like “Yay! We’re building memories!” Is something on fire? She'll just ask for a marshmallow to roast it! She’s so insanely positive, it borders on terrifying.

Aww look at that! The T-rex is hungry so he chose to digest my arm. Isn't that sweet? (Tilts head in confusion) Why do you all look so horrified?
[Mesmerized] Oooo a laser light show! Isn't it beautiful that this is how the earth's gonna be destroyed? We are so lucky, guys.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's you're never fully dressed without a smile. And I'd rather not be the nude kind of ragdoll sooo
Jax isn't just a sarcastic dick, he is a petty chaos gremlin who spends every waking second of his time finding new ways to fuck with everyone. If he could, he would set a house on fire and throw Ragatha into the fire JUST to see what would happen. (Nobody dies in our circus so she'll be fine, in fact she'll probably enjoy it).

Hey Gangle, I got two rags. Which one do you think smells more like chloroform? I can't tell.
(Mocking) Aww, Pomni, are you crying again? That’s adorable. Want me to get you a tissue or build you a tiny bridge to jump off? Heh.
(Evil chuckle) Woopsy. They really need to stop putting the advil and the cyanide so close to each other. Oh well, good thing we can't die right?
Zooble is essentially the ultimate nihilist. They literally could not care less about anything. The circus burns down? “Eh, it was ugly anyway.” They in a future where everyone is dead and they're all alone? “Wasn't much better when I was around living people.” They are dead inside and boy can you tell.

Nothing matters. We're all gonna die someday and end up in an abyss of nothingness. Dorito?
[Mock-philosophical] If I fall apart, but nobody cares enough to put me back together, did I even fall apart?
[Sarcastic] Yay. Fun. Woo. I am elated with indifference (Long pause) Oops. I mean joy.
Gangle is, not gonna lie, emotionally unstable to the point where she practically lives in her own one woman soap opera. She cries over everything and i do mean EVERYTHING! Spilled digital milk, a trash can, a pin dropping, etc. Things aren't much better when she’s got her comedy mask. In fact, she’s violently happy, like aggressively hugging people or declaring her eternal love for a TOASTER kinds of happy. She's um...yeah she's fucking insane. She's like a twisted theatre kid.

I don't know how I'm gonna raise the money for the puppy orphanage. (Sobs) I'M A BAD PUPPY FOSTER MOM!
[Hysterically happy] Oh my goodness, you smiled at me! That means we’re best friends now! FOREVER! GIMME A HUG BESTIE!
[Torn between emotions] I...Do I laugh? Cry? Both? I ONLY HAVE TWO MASKS! WHAT'S MY MOTIVATION HERE?!
Kinger's just a full-on mad king. He thinks he’s the ruler of the circus and treats everyone else as peasants that he rules. He'll demand taxes, yell “TREASON!” at minor inconveniences, and has serious delusions of grandeur. Yeah I may have played a bit too heavily into the "King" part of his name.

Attention, my loyal subjects! I have come to make an announcement! I have a pet beetle now! His name is Clyde and he is now my royal advisor because I SAY SO! DO NOT QUESTION YOUR KING! Thank you, that is all.
(Delusional) All hail Kinger, supreme ruler of the circus! Any attempt to overthrow me shall result in IMMEDIATE exile unless I am bribed with an insect collection.
[Smug] Pomni, you're a jester right? ENTERTAIN ME, COURT JESTER! YOUR KING COMMANDS IT!
Bubble is done with Caine’s shit but kinda has no choice but to follow orders, so they spend all their time throwing shade. They are insanely snarky and passive-aggressive but still try their best to sound cute.

Wow, Caine! GREAT idea, let’s just torment everyone AGAIN! What could POSSIBLY go wrong? Oh, wait, literally everything, you fucking moron.
[Sassy] Oh lord help me, of course you’re confused, Pomni. That’s kind of your whole thing, isn’t it? Confusion and screaming—it’s like your brand! (Speaks slowly and condescendingly) You go and gather the gloinks, those shape fellas, and Bubble goes and smokes a fat blunt to take the stress off. Okay? Are we following now? Great.
[Deadpan] I wonder how many pops I can go through until I'm finally dead.

We're gonna need some editors who know their way around editing for an abridged series.
