    Summary

    She was staring at him for a moment. It almost felt like it was only the two of them in a void of nothingness, no platform, no tightrope, and no Amazing Digital Circus. Just the two of them.

    "Promise me you won't let go." She asked of him.

    "I promise." He answered her back.

    In The Amazing Digital Circus™, anything is possible! Except for two things:

     

    1. Swearing
    The Amazing Digital Circus is an experience made to cater for all ages.

     

    2. Dying

    Summary

    Pomni didn’t have the easiest childhood growing up, so it only makes sense to her that the universe would throw in getting sucked into an old VR headset from an abandoned office building into the dumpster fire that was her life. And while she definitely missed the fresh air among many other wonderful things from the real world—after six months of living in the circus—she thought she was finally getting comfortable and making a solid friend. Turns out, she doesn’t know jack [SPLOINK]! With an emotionally constipated rabbit, her conflicted past and emotions haunting her, sudden unexplainable weird dreams, and an even weirder AI watching her every move… she has a long way to go before she can even think about feeling normal again. Whatever normal might mean anymore…

     

    Takes place after episode 6. This is somewhat of a slow burn, with plenty of angst and fluff mixed about. (I can’t get enough of them). Haven’t posted my writing in a long time, and all of this is just sitting in my notes app so I thought I’d give it a go again for all my fellow FunnyBunny lovers out there. I took some inspiration from the story “A Real Life” by Bnuuy_inthedark. It’s a great book, I definitely recommend!
    Happy reading, friends!

    Summary

    There's a reason we're human. We feel, we sense, we crave things no artificial being could truly comprehend. If they appear to, it's all a ruse. An act they play all thanks to a prompt.

    So what becomes of machinery when it obsesses over attention? When does its circuits plead enough that it begins to bleed?

    OR; Caine endures encounters that feed him human experiences he once thought impossible to understand. All in which leave him to wonder if he's still the robot he deemed himself to be.

    Summary

    Things were fine and dandy in the Circus... that is, until four mysterious guests show up. Somehow, these guys are from a different world to Pomni's, raising questions about just what the Circus really is. Now, Pomni and co. have to find out whether they can send their new drone friends home, or whether they're permanently stuck in multicolored mayhem.

    Summary

    After Pomni tells the rest of the cast that Jax hasn't been doing well since the last adventure, they try to make him feel more included, much to his annoyance. So, why not show them that he's perfectly fine by giving them all a little scare with a new prank he's been cooking up?
    Sure, they may be accusing him of going too far and they're all acting like he doesn't exist, but who cares!? At least they stopped pestering him.
    So why is he suddenly feeling even more lonely than before?
    And why is Gangle of all people the only one who will even still look at him?

    Summary

    Caine knew a lot more than he let on. He knew he was the sole administrative AI of the circus. He knew Moon, Sun and Bubble were the only other AIs with their own functions. He knew the developers had abandoned them there to rot. He knew there was no way out for the humans. He knew there was no cure for abstraction, no matter how much he tried to reverse it. He knew the humans hated him. But he kept going. It was his main function; to keep them safe and happy. But lately, now more than ever, he's been failing at that too. He's experiencing all these new emotions and thoughts that truly scared him and he couldn't understand up until it was almost too late.

    Or... AIs can suffer depression and no one is ok.

    Summary

    "So let me get this straight, you're telling me we're trapped in a circus where a sentient AI controls everything. And, according to you, I've been here for years but don't remember any of it because I have 'amnesia'." Jax does air quotes with his fingers. "Did I miss anything?"

    "No, you pretty much summed it up."

    Or,

    How a confrontation in the bathroom during the awards show causes Pomni to make a difficult choice and Jax to lose his memories of the circus.

    While Jax tries to piece together the nature of their relationship, Pomni struggles to reconcile this endearingly open version of him with the one who doesn't let himself feel anything.

    Summary

    Jax abstracts.
    At least, he almost does, had Pomni not been there to help.

    And there was no way he was going to let that slide.

    (this story can be read as a oneshot, but the slowburn starts in chap 2)

    Summary

    "You know... getting closer to Pomni- to corrupt her..?"
    Those words that had left Ragatha's mouth along with her behaviour towards him as of late continue to fester in his mind like an annoying parasite until his frustrations bubbled up into something... vulgar and dangerous.

    Or, Jax wasn't quite happy about what Ragatha had accused him of so he decided to pay a visit to Ragatha in her room after the end of the adventure (ep 6).

    Summary

    What if Pomni had shot herself at the end of episode 6 (as we all expected)?

    Jax has done his best to put up as many walls as he could since Ribbit abstracted. How is it that this little jester has been able to break every single one of them down?

    Or

    Jax has a soft spot for Pomni 'cause he thinks she's adorable, but he knows that she deserves much better than him. He tries his best to avoid his feelings while sparing hers, but low-key loses his mind in the process. Don't worry, Pomni can find it.

    Summary

    Fight, flight, or freeze, or even fawn – a cornered rabbit could choose any of them. And Jax is one that is constantly backed into corners. However, familiarity with terror breeds a dangerous kind of apathy: one that results in sacrificing others to those maniacal traps he himself once fell to.

     

    Alternatively: After a particularly harrowing adventure, Jax is left shaken and unsatisfied (though he refuses to admit it). He takes this up with ringmaster Caine, to positive results. For himself at least. (Maybe not even for himself.)

    Summary

    A few months ago, Caine sent everyone on a hyperrealistic post-apocalyptic adventure. For a few months now, they have been trapped. For all they know, Caine has abandoned them.

    To survive as a group, everyone was assigned a specific role. Jax became a scout. He rarely goes on trips alone, but today he is. At least until he's attacked by an old friend. Backed into a corner, he must face him—or the beast that took his form.

    Summary

    “-she's a f[%$!#]g human too you-”

    A strained noise crossed between a scoff and a laugh peels itself from Jax's chest and belts out his throat.

    “What?” Zooble hisses.
    //
    Or: Five times the intervention didn't work and the one time it did. (Kind of. Partially. Generously.)

    Summary

    Driven by fury and other human emotions he isn’t used to, Caine does something drastic to give him some peace of mind - he removes Zooble from the circus. HIS circus.

    The rest of the gang wouldn’t suspect it was his doing. They’d all just think that the poor mismatch abstracted naturally like the others. There would be some sorrows, they’d move on, and He’ll feel much better without their complaining and negativity around.

    …So why doesn’t he? And why aren’t they moving on? And why are they suspecting something is up?
