    Summary

    “So, don’t you wanna know my name? My tragic backstory? My whole deal?” he asked, seeming like he honestly didn’t give two shits whatever they were about to answer. Riley shot him an annoyed look while slicing another lime:
    “Not really.”
    “Wow. Hurtful.”
    “Hmm. I’m here to make you drinks, not make you be actually content with yourself.”

    ***

    Two people who used to know each other in some distant reality meet in a bar. One comes to a slow realization.

    Summary

    Set after "An empty chest", a fic in which Caine struggled with his deletion and all the human emotions that came of it. Angst, pain and character development, experienced through an antagonist redemption arc.

    This is a collection of small oneshots, snippets and moments in the circus, after an ending that could be considered happy. They all must find meaning in life, and this is it.

    Summary

    After Caine's torture of the players, he returns to sanity and manages to stay for a little longer than in the show, time enough to express the horror and regret of his own actions.

    But still, the deletion happens, and the players are left in a broken circus now filled with voices echoing all of their regrets.

    All is not lost, though, as Kinger realises that maybe they can still be saved; the key to getting the circus back is, of course, rather obvious. Caine is needed.

    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

    "Uhm. Caine, I… need to ask…"

    "Ask away!"

    "A-are you… sentient…?" It feels silly to ask after several weeks in the circus, but then again they've never really had a proper conversation before.

    "Indeed!" Caine answers brightly. "It was one of the key requirements for the ringmasterAi program."

    ...Oh.

     

    One of Caine's adventures makes Pomni realize just how much he has to deal with.
