    Summary

    Pomni has never been a fan of Caine. He's loud, overbearing, oblivious to the pain his torturous adventures caused, and the overall cause of Pomni's pain and suffering in the virtual world. Only four adventures in, and she has enough trauma to last a lifetime.

    Caine is an AI, after all. Pomni doesn't think he even cares about anything other than his adventures.

    And that made it all the more shocking that when an escaped Abstraction attempts to attack Pomni, she finds herself being pushed out of the way by the dreaded ringmaster himself, taking the hit for her as he tells her to run.

    She soon realizes that there's more to Caine than she thought.

    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.

    Summary

    This fic is based off the Ctrl-Alt-Del AU! The link and AU summary are in the beginning notes.

    Caine sets up karaoke for the humans as a reward for completing his adventure. When they ignore the songs he made in favor of singing their own human song from outside the circus, he is initially frustrated, but decides to use it to improve on his future adventures. He pores over it for days, and finds that it’s… actually pretty fun to listen to.

    Bubble sets up karaoke for the humans (and Caine). They start thinking of a song, and Caine remembers the one the humans sang back when he made a karaoke night for them. As it turns out, analyzing that song for so long actually paid off.

    Summary

    As the creator of the circus, Caine wants to control it.
    Or... maybe just be involved in it, with the others? Is that so much to ask?
