    Summary

    In which the circus had one extra member, who couldn't prevent Caine's breakdown or deletion, but can maybe start picking up the pieces now.

    (A short "you bring Caine back" fic that focuses on his perspective. For the all the Caine girlies (gender neutral) still in mourning like me. Don't ask how the circus members all got out. That's what the canon divergence tag is for.)

    Summary

    Caine tried everything. Making adventures humans might enjoy by stalking watching them from the distance? Check. Asking them for their problems only to be told the same ones he already has solved? (Courtesy of Zooble). Check. Looking at the suggestion box to rewrite adventures to keep their brain active? Check. Yet nothing ever seems to work. Noth-ing.

    With all those complications in mind, Caine has only one other solution! He will mix under his dear humans to (hopefully) finally understand what goes on in their wonderful, complex, confusing brains! Now, only a believable background must be added! Good thing that's easy. Even an Ai like himself has one. He just has to slightly change it to fit into human standart.

    Now, why do all of them look like so weird when he said his "parents" stuffed him in an empty room when he was not good enough? Why do they squint their eyebrows when Caine speaks about times when he made mistakes, he was told to do it over and over with more scathing remarks?

    Humans. Caine may never understand them. Humans may never understand him.

    If the ringmaster decides to walks among them instead of floating far above their heads, it maybe possible.

    Summary

    A mysterious, stubborn virus infiltrates Caine's systems, forcing him to utilize some rather desperate measures in a reckless attempt to keep the circus, and himself, online. He attempts to fix it, ends up somewhat successful, and pretends like everything is fine as a result. See? He's not dying! He can handle this just fine on his own. He didn't need Kinger, or anyone for that matter, rummaging around in his delicate code.

    That is, until he wakes up one day covered in digital blood, surrounded by the mutilated bodies of his favorite humans.

    Summary

    While everyone waits for the next inevitable adventure, all power in the circus suddenly cuts out— Wait. How is that even possible when they are in a video game?

    Nevermind that. Maybe it's just one of Caine's unpredictable shenanigans.

    Unbeknownst to them, their eccentric ringmaster is actually not feeling well. Can AIs even get sick? How is that a thing again?

    Caine can't let his favorite little humans see him like this!

    Summary

    "I'm GoInG tO PuT yOu FrEaKs In YoUr PlAcE!"

    Caine's emotions exploded— Kinger never imagined that would be possible. The AI was programmed to simulate human emotion for authenticity, but for him to genuinely experience them was not what was ever anticipated.

    Caine is hurting. Caine is angry. Caine is malfunctioning, and he is violently lashing out at everyone. Kinger is fast at work, battling against Caine's code to try to stop his turbulent rampage. Everyone is depending on him.

    Only, he had been discovered, and Caine doesn't understand. He doesn't understand. Why is his favorite human hurting him? He doesn't understand. He doesn't take his actions too kindly.

    "Sometimes…the hardest decisions we have to make…involve the people we love."

    ***

    Or: While everyone is is subjected to torment, Kinger is discovered with the console in the pillow fort.

    Summary

    An alternative scene from the story "I Was Only Trying to Help You!"

    Kinger was already at the end of his rope. But what would happen if that final nudge DID happen?

    Of course, it had to be Jax who did it.

    "Look, Kinger, I know Caine probably means a lot to you, but this is pointless. None of us are ever going to feel safe around him no matter what you do. So why not just make it easier for everyone and make some other AI to take his place?"

    "I'm… I'm sorry. I don't…believe I've caught that. What…did you say?"

    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.

    “Kinger, I’m coming in.”

    “No!”

    That sudden burst tells him everything, and yet, he desperately wants to believe it means nothing.

    “N-no, Caine, I really… I really am…”

    Kinger trails off. Caine’s eyes madly behold the door, as if he could see his creator through it.

    “I’m coming in,” he repeats, this time certain.

    Kinger doesn’t refuse anymore.

    Caine gently opens the door.

    Or: Everyone has a breaking point. Caine walks in on Kinger during his.

    Summary

    It's been many, many years since the last person abstracted on the circus grounds. The only things left are twisting spires of eyes wrapping around the walls, and the silence of a long-abandoned place of 'fun.' And also, some weird robot, I guess.

    But now, after all that time, Kinger reappears, despite abstracting like all the others. There's no point for him to keep going, no adventures, no objectives, no Caine. If there's a way to help the long-gone cast members, is there even a point to bringing them back, just for an even worse hell? Whatever the answer, Kinger is certainly not the type to think that far ahead.

    Summary

    The circus cannot survive without Caine. His existence is tied to its existence. Which means, whether they like it or not, the players will have to find a way to bring him back.

    Thankfully, Kinger has a plan. He informs the players about a powerful AI Caine had consumed long ago, Model-58. If they can get Caine to agree to have this AI removed from him, they can split the AI's power amongst themselves. But problems arise as the plan is put into action.

    Caine has been acting strange ever since he was brought back without his powers.

    Jax has been oddly cheery and spending a lot of time alone.

    Worst of all...the players have to learn to co-exist with Caine if they want the circus to stay standing. And it doesn't take long for tensions to rise when Caine is confronted for his past actions. But the players are soon confronted with their own past actions as they find out that they're not the only ones who have been traumatized in this digital hell.

    Turns out this lover without a heart had his heart broken by his own creators.
