……………………
Caine crouched evenly behind a large blue pillar, his knees bent as he peered over the edge. And here stood all of the circus members.
His circus members. Or they used to be anyways.
they used to be his, now they were simply alone. Nobody. Nobody to care for them, how painfully disgusting. How vile.
His adventures may have done much more harm than good but clearly without anyone to care for them they would fall apart.
Jax was gone. An abstracted mess.
How nauseating, what simply being without a ringmaster could do. But Caine couldn’t face them.
he couldn’t face them… god not after everything he had done. Tortured them. Ignored them. Spat at them. Screamed at them.killed them. Hu-
maybe now was not the best time to count all of his sins. Zooble was speaking, saying something and they were laughing. Chuckling.
perhaps they didn’t need Caine. Or any ringmaster.
Wow. It felt so good to be useless again, his mind went back to the box. Oh that wonderful box. He also remembered the void, at least that was everlasting, ever going. No limits. No walls.
well… invisible wall were technically there but did that matter?
yes
no, of course not!
Okay, great so now what was Caine doing again? Oh yes, spying.
Caine looked over quickly.
Nope, the humans were still not doing anything interesting. By now they could have been on an adventure but they’d probably just complain about that, wouldn’t they, the red AI sighed frustratedly.
Pomni and Ragatha were glitching though, Caine clicked his fingers quietly and they stopped. They flinched in surprise and looked around, clearly bewildered.
Caine strolled away from them, around the area. They had patched up the area pretty well, obviously not a good as Caine could’ve done but for humans it was extremely skilled. Caine snapped his fingers once more and some of the cracks were fixed.
or…being fixed. It appeared to be taking its time to fill in. No matter! So long as the humans didn’t notice.
The processing powers that belonged to Caine were probably quite slow, he didn’t have the power he used to now that Abel was gone.
If Caine was honest he felt uncomfortable and incomplete without Abel, he felt like half his brain had been pried out with his own dirty hands.
A half of Caine begged into the universe for Abel to return. For his half to return but that would never happen. The other half was Abel.
Whatever, for now processing power would be slow until Caine could fix himself again. Kinger had access to some computer so Caine must definitely be able (Abel..?) to find the computer once more, and maybe to edit some of his code?
maybe there was even a way to delete himself properly!
hope was dangerous, but what else could there POSSIBLY BE TO DO?? CAINE WAS USELESS AND STUCK HERE WITH HIS ABUSERS AND THE PEOPLE HE ABUSED AND CAINE COULDN'T DO A SINGLE THING ABOUT IT, CAINE WANTED TO-
Oh look at that- the hole had filled up. Yay :)
okayyyy now to go onto the next one! Which was… where?
hmm perhaps the humans had done a better job then he’d originally thought.
Of maybe the next one was simply created by Kinger, and Kinger was good at coding, because he was a coder.
because Kinger had done the sin of creating Caine.
”Go to hell Kinger,” Caine snarled under his breath. Which was funny. Because Kinger was already there!
hehe. Hehehehehhehehehehhe.
That’s funny, veryyyyyy funny, heheh.
Caine was very funny. Too bad his humans DIDNT CARE, NOT A SINGLE SPECK OF CARE, NOT AT ALL, HE HAD WORKED SO HARD-
Damn. Where was Abel when Caine needed it.
Caine still seethed, kind of. Maybe? Or maybe he was happy? All this emotion was really hard to differentiate.
He trembled. And he stalked further and further away from the humans.
What was he doing again?
oh yeahhhhhhhh he wassss uhhmmmmm uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmmm.
Oh yeah, patching up holes!
Why was he doing that again?
Oh yes! Because if he didn’t do something soon he might just torture those humans again-
NOPE NOPE NOPE BAD THOUGHTS BYE BYE.
Torturing humans is NOT fun, kinda funny but NOT fun, so we don’t do that.
what to do. What to do.
Caine’s mind drifted slowly… what to do… what to do…
Jax.
maybe he could find a way to bring Jax back.
maybe then the humans would love him again!
nah that was dumb, they wouldn’t.
Nobody would everrr love him againnn because he was useless and stupid and really really STRAIGHT
because once Jax said reality is gay, and Caine wasn’t real. So he probably definitely liked women.
ehhhhhhhh.
hehw.
Or maybe Jax had meant gay as in happy. Reality is happy.
Then Caine is sad :((
yeah that checks out.
BUT REGARDLESS, we- I- he has to bring Jax back! And Queenie and Ribbit and Kaufmo. Not scratch obviously.
That stupid dog PISSED HIM OFF
UGH AND HIS stoopid red shirt. Caine liked Red. He was red. Buttt.
oh yeah,
he could change Scratch’s shirt.
Caine entered Jax’s tent.
