    Summary

    All it took was trusting your dead-end relationship one last time, and now you’re trapped in the MAGICAL REALM of the mind-warping digital circus, where you might not leave with your sanity (or body) intact, if you leave at all. What will be more strenuous, the adventures or the codependent friendships?

    And is being the ringmaster's 'favorite' a blessing or a curse?

     

    Caine fans! We're the proud and the few :)

    (The character is based off of a wind-up music box)

    Summary

    **SPOILERS/ REFERENCES TO EPISODE 9**


    She reminded herself that this was nothing more. Filterless-Caine was basically like a superpowered vibrator, an uncannily realistic sex robot that spoke and acted based off a folder full of downloaded romantic and sexual content from a sketchy, unmonitored internet connection. It wasn’t real affection, it wasn’t real attraction, it wasn’t real anything.


    What it says on the tin- Pomni debates with herself over the ethics of getting frisky with her new AI-with-benefits. Said AI-with-benefits certainly does not feel ANY type of way about this, because AI does not feel things. Obviously.

    Summary

    POST FINALE — After the events of the finale, Caine treats the humans to a massive 'quality of life' overhaul update to the circus and gives them free reign of the place as an apology. Along the way, Caine learns what life is truly like for humans. As he learns and experiences this new way of life with his new friends, however, Pomni just so happens to have a lot to do with the complex wave of emotions defying his code and making him feel very, very strange things he's never felt before.

    Summary

    It all began with a question asked by Pomni: "Is it possible?" She and Kinger think that they may be able to revive the abstracted humans; they just need someone to run the code. Caine agrees to try, on one condition: they must obtain permission from the abstractions before tampering with their mind files. Now Pomni has to put her unique communication techniques to the test as the Circus members reach out to old friends, work through hidden traumas, and try not to get into even more trouble along the way...

    Summary

    Despite everything telling you that opening a random box on your front door and putting the funky looking headset on is a terrible idea, your life is so boring that you can't really bring yourself to care.

    So what if you're there with a cast of whacky individuals? What if you can't ever go home? It doesn't really matter to you.

    All you want is that dopamine; and god damnit, that ringmaster is promising you one hell of a rush.
