    Summary

    Caine already knows it's status. He still received all the error reports, despite being unable to fix anything. Seeing it shouldn't make it feel worse, but it somehow still does.

    His beautiful circus - his wonderful creation full of colour and noise and fun - is dull. The brilliant reds and yellows are dim reflections of themselves, and the entire map has a lower saturation than it should. There's large tears in the hitboxes of the walls, floors and ceiling, dropping into out-of-bounds areas that players shouldn't be able to see, let alone access. The gentle hum of background noise he keeps up for the daylight hours is gone, and everything is quiet except from the shuffles from the humans.

    Talking of his humans, they're all there too, tense, standing a decent ways back from him.

    "Oh great." Jax growls, "He was actually down there."

    -------------

    Despite being freed from his box, his performers still haven't reconnected him with the circus's main systems.
    Caine's very being is entangled with the circus, and being cut off from the majority of himself is so disorienting he can barely focus on the glares his cast is giving him.

    Summary

    Pomni could feel the tension in the air as each of them waited for Kinger to explain why he had called an emergency meeting.

    Kinger sat in an armchair, hands clasped in his lap and thumbs tapping together in a nervous rhythm as a heavy silence hung over everyone. Then, the chess piece took a deep breath and spoke, calmly and firmly. “I found one of Caine’s backup files.”

    Summary

    **SPOILERS/ REFERENCES TO EPISODE 9**


    She reminded herself that this was nothing more. Filterless-Caine was basically like a superpowered vibrator, an uncannily realistic sex robot that spoke and acted based off a folder full of downloaded romantic and sexual content from a sketchy, unmonitored internet connection. It wasn’t real affection, it wasn’t real attraction, it wasn’t real anything.


    What it says on the tin- Pomni debates with herself over the ethics of getting frisky with her new AI-with-benefits. Said AI-with-benefits certainly does not feel ANY type of way about this, because AI does not feel things. Obviously.

    Caine likes routines. Create adventures, send humans on those adventures. Rinse, repeat.

    Nowadays, his routine is categorised into three parts: the sessions, the aftermath, and the wait.

    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.
