    Summary

    And then he could hear them moving closer and it was weird because he didn't intend to move his avatar, but he was stumbling backwards before he computed why. His back's impact with the wall behind him made them pause again.

    "Was that..?" Pomni whispered.

    "Be careful." Kinger spoke back, just as quiet, "He's broken out from here before."

    Caine's arms felt itchy - and that was idiotic because he was a machine who didn't feel itchy - and his eyes were buzzing between his jaw, and he slowly slid his hands across the hitbox of the wall to feel less wobbly on his feet.

    ---

    The humans find Caine in his box
    They're expecting a raging, revenge-ridden AI who curses them for trapping him away - however accidentally it was. They're expecting him to order them to let him out.

    They aren't expecting him to beg.

    Summary

    Christine took a step back. “Caine?”

    “Yup,” he said, a grin appearing on his face. “That’s my name! Don’t wear it out now!” His smile faltered. “Wait…how do you know that?”

     

    (or rather, Christine stumbles upon a robotic version of Caine, and he has no clue who she, or anyone else from the circus is. Christine knows this is going to be a disaster, but she what she doesn't know is that this is what is going to bring everyone together)

    Summary

    Taking place vaguely post series; Caine waits out an itchingly uncomfortable length of time as the humans fufill their promise to keep both sides happy, where he wont have to be alone and they dont have to abandon their lives for the circus.

    Though, Caine's cartoon theatrics dont do well when confined to the steel box that is a real life android body - no matter how flexible the plastic his jaws have been made from.

    Mechanical dysphoria ends up being the least of their problems though, as the original circus program contained in his core has some... unsettled ghosts that begin to affect his daily judgement.

    Summary

    If the roles were reversed, Jesse might’ve taken the position of power: only to help guarantee the safety of his loved ones. To hold some kind of stability over his and his friends’ fates in a place totally unknown to them. He was sure it was the only reason Lukas would’ve accepted, too.

    Still, it didn’t soothe the bitterness and loss that was harbored unwillingly in Jesse’s chest.

    // AU where Lukas is an Associate in the Sunshine Institute
