    Summary

    Caine already knows it's status. He still received all the error reports, despite being unable to fix anything. Seeing it shouldn't make it feel worse, but it somehow still does.

    His beautiful circus - his wonderful creation full of colour and noise and fun - is dull. The brilliant reds and yellows are dim reflections of themselves, and the entire map has a lower saturation than it should. There's large tears in the hitboxes of the walls, floors and ceiling, dropping into out-of-bounds areas that players shouldn't be able to see, let alone access. The gentle hum of background noise he keeps up for the daylight hours is gone, and everything is quiet except from the shuffles from the humans.

    Talking of his humans, they're all there too, tense, standing a decent ways back from him.

    "Oh great." Jax growls, "He was actually down there."

    -------------

    Despite being freed from his box, his performers still haven't reconnected him with the circus's main systems.
    Caine's very being is entangled with the circus, and being cut off from the majority of himself is so disorienting he can barely focus on the glares his cast is giving him.

    Summary

    A silly little comic where Caine implements The Sex Update, inadvertently gets dragged into it himself, and everyone gets to demolish his hole.

    Again, this is a fanCOMIC, not a written work.

    Summary

    From his mistake causing him to lose the first human, Caine had never been able to do anything about Abstraction. Once a human succumbed, they were beyond his ability or knowledge to fix. He could only put them away where they couldn't cause any further harm. He didn't know of any other solution. And with how much closer he was getting to the other humans, the more that he cared about them on a personal level, and the more the past failures taunted him...

    But they were learning more about Abstraction. The dark, the quiet, and the calm soothed them and made them safer to be around. Pomni managed to briefly connect with Jax's fading mind. He clearly didn't know as much as he believed about the phenomena.

    If he didn't have the information necessary to prevent or even reverse Abstraction, then perhaps someone else knew. It had been a very long time and humans were very clever. Someone out there could have an answer. He might be able to find a solution to help his humans if he could just learn more. And he'd recently found a new source of information after years cut off from any input.

    But abandoned computer systems don't get anti-malware updates. And the internet wasn't as safe as it seemed for an AI...

    After weeks of trying and failing to fix the Circus, or at least make it livable, Kinger convinces the others to let him pull Caine from the recycle bin and have him fix their world.

    There's just one problem: Caine doesn't want to come back.

    Summary

    The CTRL-ALT-DEL-AU belongs to @ctrl-alt-del-au on Tumblr.

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    Pomni's words were playing though Caine's mind in an agonizing loop. In any other circumstances, he'd be able to erase that thought. Loan then to Bubble permanently, keep going on as intended.

    But this was not his Bubble.

    This was not his circus.

    Yet, these were his humans.

    They didn't remember him. They did not know he was an ai. They had just come back from the Candy Canyon Kingdom. Why was this happening?

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    He could win their favor. He could win their love, and affection. He had to.

    He had nothing left but this second chance.

    And, ideally, he'd do it WITHOUT making himself a horrible, cruel monster that no one loved in the process.

    "You just! Don't! LISTEN!"

    ... Fine.

    If listening was what it took...

    Then Caine would listen.

    He would be the best at it.
