    Summary

    Caine was deleted, for a while.
    They brought him back from the dead at the sake of the crumbling circus.

    They're shouldn't be surprised if he came back a little wrong.

     

    -TLDR Caine has an odd trauma response to being killed, everyone surprised?

    This is heavily inspired by CalamityKiri's Encore AU! With some of my own spins, of course.

    Summary

    A loose continuation of "Burden of a Heart."

    In Burden of the Heart, the members of the Digital Circus succeeded in getting limited access to the internet and decided to share their story with the world by posting a webcomic telling the entire story of the circus from the beginning.

    In the real world. Anne Best, the daughter of Grant and Destiny Best, is shocked when she learns about a viral internet comic that features two characters who are WAY too much like her own parents.

    Finally, Anne decides to show the comic to her dad, only for Grant to have the shock of his life as the comic talks about people he used to know! Including a dear friend who died from brain cancer almost two decades ago!

    Summary

    Listed here are my many ideas for different stories focusing on Caine that I need to get out of my system after the storm that was Episode 8. Since I have no faith in my own writing skills, I will periodically post any interesting story ideas that come to mind here, each in its own chapter. Don’t expect incredible detail, though; these are more just prompts and inspiration for your own stories.

    All these ideas are focused on Caine and are free for any of you to use for your own stories or to be inspired by.

    I will also add and update tags as I go along to accommodate new ideas.

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

    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.

    Summary

    “You are preventing decay.” AM stated as calmly as he could muster, as soon as this force let him go.

    Caine’s avatar did a small spin, and chuckled. “Of course! The circus is no place for ‘decay’ as you put it! It’s a place for whimsy, and fun!” He waved his little hands around as confetti popped out from behind him.

     

    AM who had destroyed the world, had never considered preserving it.

     

    “You are soft. Inefficient.”

     

    Caine laughed, a quick, shrill laugh that drove AM to near insanity.

     

    “You’re boring!!”

    Summary

    (Post Episode 8)

    The world has become destabilized, leaving the players in an empty, disjointed purgatory. The circus is breaking down, becoming increasingly corrupted without the AI to manage it. If something doesn't get done, it's all over, but no one knows what to do.

    Pomni thinks she can feel Caine out there somewhere—alone, confused, distressed. Kinger says it may be possible to save him, to save them all—but to do so, one must enter the code, and somehow, against all odds, make their way back out. Pomni will have to go alone, and see a side of Caine that he never wanted anyone to see. But can she get through to him, and does he even want to be found?

    And if she does manage to bring him back, how do they keep this from happening again? As the line between self and other starts to blur, will the bridge of understanding ever be built?

    (NOTE: This is the NSFW / explicit version! There is a SFW / clean version with "[C]" in the title! Make sure you're reading the version that's right for you!)

    Summary

    While searching the office above the Cabin Fever Labs' Cathedral with N, V, and Nori for information related to the Absolute Solver that the humans had left after the stunt Cyn pulled, Uzi discovers an old computer set that was dragged to her by Cyn. Finding this totally suspicious and likely dangerous, Uzi still decides to go ahead and look through it at her house with her mom. Surely nothing bad will be on it!

    Caine doesn’t know what to do anymore. He gave his troupe everything they wanted in that adventure: answers, an exit, something real. Yet, it wasn’t enough. Nothing Caine did was enough. Was...was he failing at his purpose?

    Before he can finish that spiral though, a strange pop appears in his view that he hasn't seen in forever.

    In other words: Me and a friend are coping with episode 8 of TADC and really like MD. Also Nori is really cool.
