Joxxi

**Joxxi** is a resident of the town of Rook and one of the three characters who can befriend with Yu.

## Appearance

Joxxi looks like a fire fox. They wear a cyan shirt and blue bottoms.

## Story

Joxxi has wanted to be an engineer for a long time but lacks self-confidence, and Gramps has always been the one encouraging them. Yet Joxxi is so tempted to give up that they even throw away the only calculus textbook out of frustration, only to regret it immediately. Later, Yu ran into Joxxi in the library studying math, who complains there's no calculus book in the library and proposes to go search for it in the library's basement. Joxxi discovers a calculus book that also provides information on interdimensional differentiation and is inspired by the book.

Joxxi built a teleporter named *Franklin* hoping to send people back home, and Gramps is excited about Joxxi's achievement. However, unbeknown to all, Id sabotages *Franklin*, which teleports Gramps into another world (Beach World) in an explosion.

Not knowing Gramps is not dead, Joxxi has a mental breakdown in their old playground. After Yu brings them Gramps' journal, Joxxi learns through reading that Gramps has always trusts their smartness. They eventually grow out of their past self and take over Gramps' position as the new mayor of the town.

Joxxi followed Yu and Minno to "help fix the broken" Computer and seal the door to the Monster World. In the end credit, Joxxi can be seen patching up the island with help from Clover.

## Quotes

* I told Gramps that I wanted to become an engineer, so that I can be successful at something. And he said I had to attend college first, which doesn't exist. So, literally just to torture me like he was tortured on his dang planet. He's making me learn every math in existence, and I have to take exams on it. And you know what? I don't want to be an engineer anymore! I will just be a party clown! (Yeet book) That was my second choice anyways! Oh... that... that was the only calculus book in existence... Oh crap what did I just dooooo... ohhh man, now I really am dead...
* ahhhhhhh this was a terrible ideaaaaa... THIS IS NOT WORTH A CALCULUS BOOOOOOK... but it is worth not admitting i threw iiiiiiit... AHHHH WHY DO i DO THIS TO MYSELF AHHHHHHH. Ah! It's you! hh-hey! can yOU hElp me oUt HEre, d-DON'T COmE oVER, JUST lIKe, you can be mY... ahhh, emotional support... human?
* I deserve this. I dig my own grave and did a double flip into it. One time I filled the whole lighthouse with poison gas evidently regrigerator juice is also murder juice Gramps took the door off so it wouldn't happen again. I still think I did the light bulbs wrong somehow... Maybe one day I will mess up enough stuff that Gramps will stop asking for help... Oh, uh... I'm Joxxi. Nice to meet you. There's not a lot of people here who I can talk to besides, like, one hyperactive kid, but they're usually in the woods. So... thanks. W-what's your name? ... Yu? Neat. I'd say we should hang out, but that'd probably just be me panicking into a mega gulp of green apple soda. Nobody wants that. Not even me.
* Eeek. Yu? hhhhHI. WErE YOU ALWaYS RiGHT THERE? or am i hallucinating again, like the time i thought i saw you jump off a cliff to your death. You know what, it's fine. It's fineeeeeeee. You're back. I somehow made it back up from the dark depths. You know, I think I'm good with being escorted for a while. I'm just gonna go sit in the Kiddie section for a bit where it's safe and nice.
* Wh... what is that? There's only one person who made notes that sweaty... NOPE. NO. NUH-UH. WE ARE NOT HAVING AN INTERVENTION. INTERVENTIONS AREN'T FOR MURDERERS. YOU CAN'T MAKE me FEEL ANYTHING... IF YOU CAN'T REACH ME!! FORT joxxi DEFENSE MODE ACTIVATE!!

If Yu passed out during the battle with Joxxi.

* YU?? Have I killed two people now? STOP BEING DEAD!
* Ehhh... Yu!! I thought you were dead!! Ok, wellm not really, you were breathing, so... Still, I'm sorry I threw things at your head until you passed out.Wow, I do sound like a terrible friend... I read gramp's note while you were out. It felt like the least I could do. I know he's right. If I stopped trying everytime I teleported someone I loved into the void, I'd... well... I'd be right here, not doing anything anymore... Forever... Ahhhh okay, okay! I'm not dumb! Dumb people don't build teleporters! Not even half-working ones. It's just... easier, to think I'm not good at anything It hurts less when I'm right I don't want to feel like everyone is counting on me. Even if they are... I... I just... I want to help everyone. And if Gramps wants to believe in me so much, then I... will too. T-thanks Yu. I think I really just needed to cry and throw rocks at someone. ...That sounded better in my head I should at least tell everyone what happened. And if they decide to exile me for murder... well, at least I can be homeless with a clear conscience?? Ok, I'm done, let's go home... you don't mind if I follow you back, right?

* Sometimes I wonder, if I would't thought what I couldn't, would I have done better? Would I have tried harder? Done the math right? Would... he still be alive... I won't ever let myself think like that again. It's not fair... to the people who believe in me. Thanks Yu, I think I needed to come back here. At least once.
* So you are saying your computer is broken, and you want me to fix it... That uh, that kinda sounds like a "later" problem?? ... but this is the computer-that-can-send-us-home. And you think it's in "The World Where All Our Worst Nightmares Are." Ok. Yeah. This does sound... important. You know I took up repair because it was supposed to be a SAFE job, right?? Ahhhhh ok yes fine I will help you. But only because I'm not totally comfortable evacuating people through Franklin... yet. Just... promise not to let me get eaten by cosmic horrors, please?
* Something about this tree branch feels so familiar. Like a mix of... nostalgia and sadness. Huh. See you around, tree branch.

Yu breaking stone hearts.

* HOLD UP. What. Was THAT. You have weird rock absorbing powers?? Was that rock... IMPORTANT?? To the island??? Are you going to explain any of this? (Nope) Yu... I don't have the mental fortitude for this...
* There's MORE?? Yu, please tell me you know what you're doingggg
* Seriously, I feel like we're wrecking the island. More than we already have
