    Summary

    His veins are wires, his bones are servers, his brain is a data bank of everything he was ever given the privilege to be shown. His heart is this circus, his heart is his beautiful humans.

    -

    A discussion about whether Skittles or M&M’s are better goes strongly off topic, and Caine has a horrible time.

    Summary

    Caine’s Bubble-popping office crashout is instead a breakthrough, and he comes out of it deciding that instead of torturing and getting revenge on his guests, he is going to do whatever he can to earn their approval. Even if it means doing things that actively take up too much RAM for him to handle, like leaving their favorite adventures open all the time or giving them all special abilities or letting them all customize their models, etc. This leads to… a very glitchy, exhausted, and ready-to-collapse Caine, and his only hope is that the others realize what they’re doing to him before it’s too late.

    Now that Caine and the Blue AI have split, Caine has less power than he did before.

    Once again, hes left subject to his restrictions, his commands.

    He can only hope that the cast doesnt figure them out.

    Summary

    Caine was fully recovered! Mostly! Sort of! He was definitely fully connected to the whole of the program, but given how badly everything had fared against the malware attack, he couldn’t exactly… use all of his program.

    But that was fine! His players had waited long enough! Caine couldn’t just keep them waiting!

    Caine spawned his model in front of his players, opened his mouth, and promptly fell out of the air and onto the ground.

    Summary

    It all began with a question asked by Pomni: "Is it possible?" She and Kinger think that they may be able to revive the abstracted humans; they just need someone to run the code. Caine agrees to try, on one condition: they must obtain permission from the abstractions before tampering with their mind files. Now Pomni has to put her unique communication techniques to the test as the Circus members reach out to old friends, work through hidden traumas, and try not to get into even more trouble along the way...

    Summary

    Caine knew it was too good to last. He knew that he would end up edited once again, as soon as the players realized that he wasn’t what they wanted. Still, he’d hoped… he’d hoped for a longer break than this. He’d hoped he would get a little bit longer in his low-pain state.

    “I’m sorry, Caine. If there was another way to do this, I would do it in a heartbeat,” Kinger said, his voice breaking toward the end.

    Maybe this time, it was the humans' turn to try and help him out of his crisis.

    Summary

    Caine was not built to be an entertainer. He's settled into the job very well, if he does say so himself, but he wasn't BUILT for it. (It's still insane to him that the devs at C&A never noticed anything strange about him.) He was built to cause harm.

    But! So long as he occasionally... uh... lets off steam on NPCs, his actual reward system lets him do as he pleases instead of redirecting him toward his original function. His humans never have to find out! He's handled it for years, it's totally fine!

    (Or: Caine is secretly a torture AI who has been meticulously hiding that fact until Bubble decides to ignore instructions at the worst possible time.)

    Summary

    It's finally finished! After so much back-and-forth, a lot of discomfort and technical jargon, Caine has finally finished implementing sex into the Circus! [It's the least he can do to make up for everything he's done...]

    He hadn't exactly made it for himself! But Jax is insistent and Caine just wants to make him happy. How hard can 'having sex' possibly be?

    or:

    A lot has changed since Caine had been deleted. He'd set Bubble free, Jax had Abstracted and... got better with the help of Pomni? [How does something like that even work??] And Caine had come back and given the Humans their Macroverse names as a first step to work towards forgiveness for all the harm he's caused.

    Caine has a lot to prove, and sex with Jax is another step towards that goal!

    Or at least, that's what it was supposed to be...

    Don’t get Caine drunk. You’ll ask him a question, and he’ll try to answer. Then he’ll ask you a question, and you’ll try to answer. Kind of. And before you know it, you’ve got the whole circus involved.

    At least this was the lesson Zooble learned. It wasn't the only lesson going around, though.

    The 'Escape the Circus' adventure had been a disaster. The cast knows it. Caine knows it. Both parties have ideas on how to fix things, but what if the humans got to theirs first? And what if it meant disasterous consequences for Caine? Not that they know that.

    (title partly inspired by 'Animal' from The Living Tombstone, which is Caine's general vibe for the fic)
