    Summary

    The year is 2566. Cybernetics have become mainstream, but while physical enhancements have broken mortal means, creativity has become a commodity. Due to this, an even larger gap between Munds, those destitute with very little enhancements, and Glams, the rich who are fully augmented and accompanied by personal Artificial Intelligence entities.

    In a daily act of desperation, Noi, a Mund down on their luck, ventures to a local junk yard to pilfer and sell anything worth credits. In their haul, a black, airtight, sealed metal box reveals a memory bank from 1996, kept in near-pristine condition. A time capsule to the past. This could change their entire life- as ancient technology sells high among glams if they can get it up and running again.

    But the change they so hardly crave comes crashing down when they awaken a five-century-old AI- the first ever made by C&A- Caine.

    Now the choice lies on their shoulders. Do they sell the AI and live comfortably for the rest of their life? Or try to hide this part of joy in the otherwise oppressive cyberpunk dystopia they live in?

    Unfortunately, little does Noi know, Caine has more issues than he leads on about.

    Summary

    Summary

    At 24, Jax leads a life a lot of people would call a failure. days spent locked up at home, zero ambitions, and no motivation for anything better. Though at one point, everything changed when he was ‘gifted’ Caine, an android designed for one purpose only: to make him happy.

    Now, Jax has to endure an optimistic machine that follows him everywhere and only reminds him of his misery.

    But Caine isn't the perfect android he appeared to be, he's running from something, and his failed attempt to fix Jax's life could uncover secrets that still haunts him to this day.

    (Inspired by Detroit: Become Human).

    Summary

    Pomni has a problem.

    The Amazing Digital Circus has been raided by a new and advanced version of Generative AI that promises a wider, expanded world, a connection to the wider world via the Internet, and maybe, just maybe, a way to fix Abstraction. The problem is it’s a devil’s bargain that threatens more than it saves and the gang are becoming increasingly aware that there's a lot more going on than what it appears and they're going to need a lot of additional help if they want to figure out the truth.

     
    Abby has a problem.

    She’s just received a desperate message begging her to reach out to five people she’s never met because if she doesn’t bring them together an entire digital world may come unraveled. It shouldn’t be her problem, except… It kinda is. After all the request came from herself (sort of).

    Once more, six strangers will have to come together, united in a common adventure; once more, six friends will have to fight to save their home, because if the curtain falls on the Digital Circus, it may fall for everyone.

    Summary

    Post episode 7, the Cast of the Amazing Digital Circus is in shambles. Their last hope at escape was all a trick by their Ringmaster and they remain completely at his god-like mercy. Except when the Cast notices something peculiar: Caine cannot affect Kinger when he is inside his pillow fort.

    Budding romances, clashing personalities, near Abstractions, gunfights, and discovering the secrets of the Digital Circus in their latest attempt to escape.

    The Cast’s counterattack has begun.

    Summary

    Caine wasn't meant to be thrown into the body of a human. He wasn't meant to sit in a room all day and be stuck in his own head. He wasn't meant to be ignored and ridiculed by the others.

    But that's what happened, and he's starting to lose his mind.

    Summary

    Pomni wasn’t really sure what to expect when she threw her hat in the ring for Operation: RETRIEVE CAINE. All she knew was that someone had to do it, and she sure as fuck didn’t think any of the others would do it.

    The entire thing hinged on the hope that his file still existed somewhere in the bin since for some reason, Kinger couldn’t just find the file directly from their new computer. Some explanation about indexes and file corruption that went over her head- but because of this, someone needed to be deleted and dropped into the bin to interact with him and hopefully get a file reference to him, so that hopefully, when they’re brought back, he (or at least something Caine-adjacent) gets dragged back as well.

    Hopefully.

    God, this is beyond fucked.

     

    ---
    In a last-ditch attempt to stop the circus from falling apart, Pomni gets sent into the bin to retrieve Caine, which, if everything went well, should restore functionality to the Circus. It should be fine, probably- it’ll be just like some convoluted high stakes adventure! Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.

    It’s too bad computers don’t really work like that.

Abel, the second Ai, takes control of the circus and rewrites the code to make it something different.

He convinces you to take him to Abel's Tower in the middle of the city, in his last desperate attempt to get his powers and circus back. How hard can that be?

    Summary

    “You are preventing decay.” AM stated as calmly as he could muster, as soon as this force let him go.

    Caine’s avatar did a small spin, and chuckled. “Of course! The circus is no place for ‘decay’ as you put it! It’s a place for whimsy, and fun!” He waved his little hands around as confetti popped out from behind him.

     

    AM who had destroyed the world, had never considered preserving it.

     

    “You are soft. Inefficient.”

     

    Caine laughed, a quick, shrill laugh that drove AM to near insanity.

     

    “You’re boring!!”

    Summary

    The cast of the Digital Circus make it out! Except, obviously, Caine - a fact that was agreed upon when the humans all left, and Caine was shut down, allegedly for good.

    C&A as a company has been defunct for a long while, and while everyone else is trying to pick themselves back up, finding their way in a world where consequences really, truly matter again, Kinger, or rather Grant, finds he just can't bring himself to leave behind the AI he helped make.

    Or in other words, a Kinger- and Caine-centered fic post-escape (or escape AU depending on how the movie turns out lmao), back in the real world, where everyone's trying to start again.
