    Summary

    After the whole 'the exit was just an adventure' fiasco, Caine has a crashout over how his humans see and treat him. Instead of realizing he's the god of this digital world, however, Caine chooses a different path: to walk a mile in their shoes to see what their issues are first-hand. He comes up with an alter-ego: C.A.M.I.E., or Caine's Anonymous Mascot Imitation Experiment! Now, he just needs to pop into the circus as a newbie and see how the others react to 'her' and look into his all-too-human issue.

    Note: Zooble x Gangle is canon but not really a focus. I just think they're cute.

    There will be art in this, including Camie's design!

    We're all coping with episode 8 in our own ways, huh?

    Major thanks to my editor https://toyhou.se/TomaSyri !!

    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

    After the disastrous adventure in episode 7, Caine reflects on himself, realizing that he’s completely failed at his purpose. But instead of blaming the humans, he decides that the problem lies within his code, and he’ll do anything to fix it.

    The humans are reasonably upset after Caine’s latest adventure, but when Pomni realizes that the AI has been suffering more than any of them could imagine, it becomes their mission to help him and make the circus a better place for everyone.

    AKA Me coping because Caine did not deserve to die ;-;

    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.
