    Summary

    Kinger mumbles an affirmative under his breath. The sound of scratching on paper grabs Caine's attention, only just noticing the notepad in the other's hand. He watches the pencil dance across the paper, slightly entranced by the movement, until it stops and Kinger's attention is back on him. "Alright. What's the last thing you remember?"

    Nothingness. The absence of himself. A moment that never existed, yet he knows the time passed, so something has to be there. Even if it isn't. Even if he wasn't. He thinks this, and comes up with a response that makes sense with the context he has in his mind. He doesn't compute how it will come across when all he has to say is:

    "Nothing."

    OR:

    Caine is dead. Then, he isn't. Not because the humans wanted to see him again, not because they felt bad, but because the circus couldn't survive without him. To top it all off, he was only brought back to begin with thanks to one teeny, tiny little condition:

    He can no longer use his powers.

    Summary

    Pomni wasn’t really sure what to expect when she threw her hat in the ring for Operation: RETRIEVE CAINE. All she knew was that someone had to do it, and she sure as fuck didn’t think any of the others would do it.

    The entire thing hinged on the hope that his file still existed somewhere in the bin since for some reason, Kinger couldn’t just find the file directly from their new computer. Some explanation about indexes and file corruption that went over her head- but because of this, someone needed to be deleted and dropped into the bin to interact with him and hopefully get a file reference to him, so that hopefully, when they’re brought back, he (or at least something Caine-adjacent) gets dragged back as well.

    Hopefully.

    God, this is beyond fucked.

     

    ---
    In a last-ditch attempt to stop the circus from falling apart, Pomni gets sent into the bin to retrieve Caine, which, if everything went well, should restore functionality to the Circus. It should be fine, probably- it’ll be just like some convoluted high stakes adventure! Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy.

    It’s too bad files don’t really work like that.

    Summary

    Caine is restored after his deletion, but with a few minor modifications.

    Shockingly, this causes more problems than it solves.

    Summary

    “WHAT, WHAT DID YOU-!” He gripped at his head, nearly toppling over, but too distracted to care. His fingers began to trace and grip at his once pristine white teeth of enamel, now a muted silvery metal and jagged and WRONG. What is this?! “WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!”

    OR: Caine is brought back, but with some new features. His abilities are limited, and if they so desire, the humans have a way to shut him up. His teeth have been replaced with a zipper. Some use this for amusement, others as revenge, some only as necessary. The path it leads down is full of mis-steps, but they'll keep stumbling along together.

    Summary

    All of the data taken into account painted a horrible, impossible picture. They weren’t having fun. All of this work, all of his time and energy, wasted.

    They didn’t like the adventure.

    "Nobody likes your stupid adventures."

    OR

    Caine leaves his latest adventure in a panic, struggling to understand what went wrong.
