Violet screamed as she tried to pry open a finger of the giant hand that pulled her into the unknown. It ended up being a wasted effort though as the hand vanished the instant she was pulled into this new world. She took a deep breath relieved that the senses lost to limbo had returned, she could see colour again, hear sound again and she felt a warmth that reminded her of children playing. She was still completely naked though, though that wasn't her current concern at the moment, she needed to know where she was and if there was a way to get back.
She looked around but all she could see was the same tone of pink in every direction, giving her no reference of where she started, how far she could go, assuming she could go anywhere. Violet took a step forward and it feel like she just fell a hundred feet with one step. The vertigo she was experiencing made it feel like she had shrunk, though as to how small she could not say, but it was a lot smaller than David had ever made her go.
"Taegr, rgeat gtraeeartg taerggreat" her voice echoed through the vast empty pink world. "Wsa saw tath waht whasw thawh wath thas saht htaw hwaht wsahw thaw htat was asw? Wsasawtathwahtwhaswthawhwaththassahthtawhwahtwsahwthawhtatwasasw?"
'What is going on?' Violet asked internally as her words seemed to be jumbled and out of order. 'First of all everything is pink, second I'm now much smaller than I was a second ago, meaning there's a whole lot more land to cover and I can't talk.'
'Of course you can talk silly, you're talking now' another voice identical to her own replied.
'What's that? Who's there? Show yourself!' Violet demanded internally.
'Very well, but you're not going to like this' the voice reply as the top of her head opened up like a lid and her brain floated in front of her as her head closed up again. 'Here I am,' she could still hear the voice inside her head.
Violet's head felt light without her brain and she was amazed she could still function. However when she tried to speak to internally she was silent.
"?hycn wa't kin I th" she asked verbally.

'Because you don't have a brain silly!' Her brain taunted as it flew around her.
"kcba kacb set deingi he made" Violet got down on her elbows and begged. Even though she didn't have a brain she knew that wasn't right and when she looked down her legs were now arms and her arms were now legs. She blinked and her eyes shifted as well, one was now in her belly button and the other was in between her chest. she felt even more changes as her head was now in her crotch, one of her legs was where her head should be, while her ass was where her arm should be and her vulva was where here eyes were.
Violet tried to reach to examine her new body but at the end of her wrist was now a second nose. Surprisingly though she was calm, without her brain she wasn't thinking about how messed up her body was at all. Even though one of her breasts and mouth were floating in front of her and changed into an empty can and mouse.
The mouse climbed on top of Violet and burrowed its way inside of her, leaving a giant tunnel through her chest as it crawled into her heart and fell asleep.
The hole the mouse had made began to collapse in onto itself as Violet imploded.

When she reappeared the world was now a world, though the sky was made of alternating colours of shapes, and the beings that walked around were all sorts of messed up, from improper scaling, to extra parts, including parts where they shouldn't be. She watched one of the beings grow and shrink as they walked and another one becoming 2D and 3D.
Her body felt familiar but it wasn't her usual form, and as she looked around she saw thousands of rabbits hopping around this giant pen of all different sizes. Each rabbit exactly the same as all the others, despite the inconsistencies in their sizes. She felt like she was hopping around this pen forever, seeing some rabbits appearing out of no where while others were occasionally taken by a giant floating head whose only feature was a foot with fingers on in where the face should be.
After a while she noticed a pattern, as some of the rabbits did exactly what another one did the day before hand, and each time when they reached the same spot the exact same weird head would pick them up and take them away. This was the strangest thing she saw in this new world as it was constant and it happened like clock work. Two thousand five hundred and twenty nine rabbits followed this path until she reached the same destination. When it was her turn to go she just accepted it as she was crushed by the giant fingers.
Violet was now a cube on top of a rather normal desk, as a strange beast, with eleven left arms, thirty eight eyes, one right leg, six heads, one mouth and five ears, hopped around her. It touched the cube and Violet folded outwards, into a T shape before her body reformed as it usually was. She couldn't remember the last time she took this form and so she hugged herself tightly, happy to be human again.
"What do we have here, another assistant lost to limbo?" the creature asked as Violet looked up from the desk.
"Another one? You mean this where they all end up?" Violet asked with her voice coming out in the proper order.
She blinked and now she was the entity looking down at her tiny self. "They have to go somewhere, limbo meant for mortals." She told herself.

"And this place is?" She was now watching herself and the entity talk from the side of them.
"No, but it's the only place they can go," Violet heard as she hung off her own chest. "Lots of people lose their minds here, like you for instance." Violet was now the desk itself. "Though losing a mind isn't as bad as your sanity shattering." Violet was now the sky itself. "Take this poor girl for an instance," glass appeared on the desk.
Violet was back in her own body. There were so many tiny fragments, and it just looked like shattered glass, however some of the edges were round and smooth. There was one particular piece that caught Violet's attention though, it was the largest fragment of all the pieces of glass in the shape of an eye. Inside the glass was the reflection of an actual eye, looking terrified as it darted around, until it focused on Violet. She looked back at the eye and it felt like she was staring into her own soul.
"You are to put these pieces back together completely, I don't care if it takes you an eternity!" the Entity instructed as it waved its hand and Violet found herself in the land of pink again.

"Gueed Iss stabet tterr" Violet sifted through the shards. Some of them were so tiny, it was impossible to tell where they connected and there had to be a million or more pieces here. She'd be reconstructing a glass sculpture of a fully grown woman, with pieces smaller than her fingernails. This was going to take an eternity and it did.
Violet had been on auto pilot for a time longer than she could fathom, she didn't eat, she didn't sleep, she just focused on the task at hand. She was able to get the exterior of the body completed in a few weeks, as they had the smooth edges she could shift through but the entire body was hollowed out and so each connection she had to try every single tiny fragment until one connected. The good thing is they fused together, otherwise this task would be impossible to finish. When she finally connected the two halves of the body together, the glass took on flesh again and Violet couldn't believe it, she was staring at herself.
"I don't understand, you're me." Violet said to the shattered figure she had spent several lifetimes rebuilding. When she was putting the woman back together she didn't see it as herself but now she was standing in front of her, there was no mistaking it.
"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet," Violet told herself. "Everything in this world is you. All those rabbits, all those strange creatures, the sky, even the air you're breathing, it's all you."
"But that doesn't make any sense, I mean the rabbits do but everything else, how could it all be me? How could I be the air, the sky... this!" She guestured to the pink void. The other Violet wasn't lying though, this whole world was indeed her and because she was informed of this truth she was experiencing everything. She was the air molecules being breathed in by all the living creatures, she was the food she had been consuming as a rabbit, she was the sky, she was the ground, she was all those weird creatures. It went deeper than that too, she was her own beating heart, the blood running through her body, the mind that floated off and left her. She started to hyperventilate, causing the feeling of being the air and her blood to only become worse.
"This is is overwhelming, I feel like I'm going to..."
"Explode?" Violet finished, tapping her on the forehead, causing her to shatter into a million glass fragments, only her eye was left.
Violet stood over the shattered pieces of her former self. "I understand the chaos of it all now," she opened a rift between realities and reached in, grabbing herself, pulling her into the pink void. She then stepped through the rift herself returning to limbo. Only this time she could still feel warmth, see colour and could hear the world around her. Waiting on the ground was her red leotard, stocks, shoes and top hat. She got dressed and opened another rift, reappearing in the burnt down husk of the theatre.
"How long was I gone?" She wondered, happy to be back in the real world. She looked at her hands and felt something strange, coursing through her. She looked down at the charred remains of a hand bag and clicked her fingers. Instantly the handbag was restored. Curious she opened the purse and saw the picture of a woman she remembered from a life time ago. 'Claudia' she read the license. This was the girl in David's magic show, the one that had her lower half swapped with that guy during David's show.
Violet then remembered the fire that broke out while she was in Limbo. The fire had originated in her dressing room with no clear origin, it had spread rather quickly and by the time it had been discovered it was too late. It didn't make sense though, there was nothing in her dressing room that would've caused the fire... except. Violet understood now as she drew a circle into the air, opening a rift in time to her own dressing room. She held out her other hand as a fireball hovered over the palm of her hand. She then threw the fire into her dressing room and closed the rift.
"Now where's David and the other two?" Violet wondered.
