    Summary

    There's a circus in town. Harlow doesn't usually pay attention to these things, but it looks scary enough to be up their alley. Provided they can find the time to visit.

    Or:

    “What do the colors mean?” Then, half a memory and half a joke, “do I get front row seats?”

    Harlequin's grin widened. “Something like that.”

    “And you want me to use yours, not this one.”

    “Sharp of you,” his tone was saccharine.

    They offered their hand for the green ticket. He leaned back, gaze flicking between them and the ticket in his hands. They raised an eyebrow, wiggling their fingers impatiently.

    Something like disgust crossed his face, overtaken by a gleeful sort of malice as he swapped the tickets out smoothly. Harlow tucked his ticket away before he could notice theirs was punched already.

    “This is–”

    “I have to get to work, sorry! Thanks for the ticket!”

    Summary

    Penny pictured her soul like the string of an instrument that could be plucked by the people and events around it. Over time, her string had loosened, falling out of tune with the rest of the world. Her old passions no longer held her interest, her old friends had moved on with their lives, and her old home had become a stagnant reminder of everything she failed to achieve. Her soul vibrations were muted and dull, unable to resonate with anyone. If she had a soulmate, they would not recognize her.

    In a world where humans identify their soulmates through emotional connection, Penelope did not anticipate connecting with someone through another means– much less an entire circus. Each of the five main cast members have their own unique ways of identifying their "sensemates", and all of them are already bound to each other. They did not anticipate connecting with a human, and despite years of acclimating to each other, adding emotions into the mix might be too much for them to handle. As for Penny, she must grapple with a new reality while enduring sensory input from five probably-not-human individuals. She has to discover what it means to be their soulmate and adapt to their secrets or risk losing her life.

    Summary

    Connor and Sixty's night out doesn't exactly go as planned. With alcohol getting thrown around and the two having to go home together, they were bound to end up doing something stupid. It was expected to be their usual fight or an argument about what happened during the revolution all that time ago.

    But it ends up going elsewhere.

    Summary

    Cyberlife believes they have successfully created an android capable of being transferred from body to body, even after death. RK800 313 248 317 -51 is on his eleventh body, and the humans rejoice. They name him Connor, and forget about the broken remains of his fifty previous iterations. They forget the terrible ways they brought them to an end, and focus instead on the remarkable success of an android that can never die.

    Except they are wrong. Connor has never been transferred. Connor has never died. Because Connor is only RK800 -51, not RK800 -40, the first to be “transferred,” and not any of the other forty-nine RK800s that have been activated. He is only -51, only Connor, pretending to be something he has never been, hiding the dozens of voices constantly warring for space and begging for safety.
