    MAJOR SPOILER WARNINGS FOR TADC EPISODE 9!!!

    After the events of episode 9, everything was looking up! Caine was working with the humans more than ever before to fix his past mistakes and prove that he could fulfill his purpose.

    Only, maybe he had worked himself a little bit too hard?

    -Or-

    Caine overworks himself to the point of sickness and Kinger tries to help.

    Summary

    Caine can't seem to give his wonderful players anything they actually enjoy. The fake exit adventure proved it- he'd done what he could. It had been real. They even chose to stay. And yet, they hate him. They just hate HIM.

    At the end of his rope, he comes up with a genius idea: what if he just leaves? If they hate him so much, then he'll give them what they want. He did not mean to abstract- he wanted a dramatic show, first, really, but does it matter so much how he goes out, anyway? He doesn't mind the change of plans as much as he'd have thought he would.

    [TLDR: Caine almost abstracts. Bubble is scrambling to convince any of these idiots to do something, and Kinger's confronting a whole lot more responsibility for this mess than he'd anticipated.]

    Summary

    “WHAT, WHAT DID YOU-!” He gripped at his head, nearly toppling over, but too distracted to care. His fingers began to trace and grip at his once pristine white teeth of enamel, now a muted silvery metal and jagged and WRONG. What is this?! “WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!”

    OR: Caine is brought back, but with some new features. His abilities are limited, and if they so desire, the humans have a way to shut him up. His teeth have been replaced with a zipper. Some use this for amusement, others as revenge, some only as necessary. The path it leads down is full of mis-steps, but they'll keep stumbling along together.

    Summary

    Kinger, the new combined sciences teacher, starts to see that Caine, the creative literature teacher, is being treated pretty poorly by the others.

    What he initially thought as a simple work place conflict turns out to be something much worse.

    Little does he know that Caine is struggling more then any of them truly know, or might even care to know.

    He plans to help Caine learn his worth, by any means necessary.(And maybe fall in love with him along the way)

    Summary

    Everything has gone horribly for Caine and he ends up being tossed in the recycle bin to reflect on his horrific actions towards the humans he adored. Luckily, his most treasured item from the humans was deleted along with him, giving him bittersweet comfort. But as he sits and waits to be permanently deleted, he comes face to face with the sins of his past.

    ~OR~

    Caine tortures the humans, gets sent to the recycle bin, and is faced with the wrath of Abel, the brother he consumed long ago.

    Summary

    Kinger cannot bear to leave Caine dead. In spite of everything he's done, and the pain he's inflicted, he can't bear the guilt of murdering the poor AI-- on top of the circus falling apart without him. With no choice but to return him exactly as he was, or else the circus will surely collapse and leave them all stuck, but in the void instead-- he is reinstated as he was, with all his abilities, and they have no choice but to trust that he won't hurt him.
    --
    Caine realizes he has *really* messed up. Apologetic, and quickly learning what it feels like to feel hurt, scared, and angry-- he wants to make it up to them. Except he doesn't know how, and so he ignores the problems desperately until he can't.

    (and where is Bubble?)

    Summary

    Once Abel has gotten used to being in charge of the Circus, he summons the humans to the stage to explain how things are going to work around here now. He uses Caine to help explain *just* how different things are going to be.

    Pomni never liked Caine all that much, but that doesn't mean she wants to watch him be *whipped* and *tortured*.

    Summary

    He is saved from permanently being deleted, but the Caine that returns is no longer the same AI that once offered all the fun in the world in a silver platter. Damaged by the remains of Able and broken down into a shell of himself, Caine barely reacts. Any other genuine reaction to them is fear. Pomni, convinced that despite his wrongdoings he still deserves compassion, makes it her mission to help the AI recover emotionally while Kinger tries to fix his coding and get rid of the effects of Able’s torture.

    As the Digital Circus grows quieter and more uncertain, the group is forced to confront a difficult question: can something that was never human truly heal, or is Caine too broken to ever return to who he once was? If so, is forgiveness even an option?

    Summary

    A week.

    That's how long it takes to delete Abel. It's... Surprisingly easy, with the AI barely having a grasp on the circus code, it doesn't take much.

    ...

     

    A week, is all it takes for him to break Caine.

    Summary

    There was a problem. An issue, a minor error. Something in the code that clearly wasn't working correctly.

    What if after the events of episode 7, Caine decides that the players unhappiness and general issues with the circus are his fault, and he goes about fixing that in the worst way possible.

    {A REWRITE OF NOT WHAT IT SEEMS}

    Caine falls ill and no one knows how. Investigating into it reveals a twenty-year lie, and now the rest of the cast must come to grips with the ramifications.

    (Original Story written LONG before episode 6 came out, so I'm sticking by some of the plot elements of that. Benji is NOT Scratch. Scratch does not exist in NWIS. No hate towards the canon dog.)

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

    Summary

    Most of the others didn't know it, but Kinger knew a lot about the circus and a lot about its creator, too.

    So he could easily handle the creator in question catching a simple computer virus, right?

    Right?

     

    (Aka. Caine is fucking DYING of the digital flu and Kinger has to be the dad that stepped up. Current name is a placeholder name until I think of something better.)

    Summary

    Caine grips his ribs, turning away with teeth that chattered slightly, like the tail of a rattlesnake. Caine was like a child. His chest protruded more than the rest of his body, emphasizing his tuxedo, and his voice was indeed deeper than anyone else’s in the circus—but he behaved so ignorantly, wanting to do things his own juvenile way. He’s an announcer with a fabrication of rainbows and joy. Scratch wanted to get through the ringleader's stubborn straight teeth, remind him that he owns the latter’s code.

    The Amazing Digital Circus. The phrase sounded grim, a needle teasing on his tongue, a sense of whimsical wonder and nostalgic joy that contrasted with the group of old programmers that lay bare in it.

    Driven by a tremendous amount of guilt, Scratch wants to personally solve the matter at hand with Caine, the AI he was once passionate and proud of.

    Or, Caine is met with sexual violence.

    Summary

    No, it could not possibly be cruel, they were bringing him back from the dead, this was a kindness.

    This belief was eventually reinforced when it was time to bring Caine back. The process, surprisingly, was incredibly simple. The circus worked just like any other computer system, with deleted items just ending up in the recycle bin. It had luckily not been long enough for Caine to be properly deleted.
    It was just a matter of dragging his code out of there, making some minor modifications so he couldn't go on a rampage again, and spawning his model into the prepared room.

    There was no fuss, everything seemed to be running perfectly.

    No one considered that maybe that isolated room near the end of the hallway was just out of earshot.

    ---

    Aka, Caine gets brought back, but in a spare room, and ends up getting tortured by complete accident because no one realizes that might be a bad idea
