    PRESS RESTART by

    Summary

    The absence of Caine, unfortunately, makes way for something worse. Out of pure desperation, the gang rescues him from deletion in hopes he can save them from being deleted too.

    Caine gets another chance to prove himself, though he's not sure he wants to, and he still doesn’t understand how it all went so wrong in the first place.

    Nobody really wants to die here. Nobody really has much of a choice on how to make that happen. And certainly, nobody is really happy with their former tormentor(s).

    But…any port in a storm, right? And maybe with a little patience and effort and compassion, they can all learn to just...live.

    Summary

    Taking place vaguely post series; Caine waits out an itchingly uncomfortable length of time as the humans fufill their promise to keep both sides happy, where he wont have to be alone and they dont have to abandon their lives for the circus.

    Though, Caine's cartoon theatrics dont do well when confined to the steel box that is a real life android body - no matter how flexible the plastic his jaws have been made from.

    Mechanical dysphoria ends up being the least of their problems though, as the original circus program contained in his core has some... unsettled ghosts that begin to affect his daily judgement.

    Summary

    A few months after stabilizing the Circus and coming to terms with their permanent life there, the gang agrees to bring Caine back- on the condition that Kinger rewrites his code and removes his power over the world.

    Caine awakens to find himself on relatively equal footing with humans for the first time in his life. Can he learn to listen and understand them now that he's no longer bound to his program's original purpose? Will the humans ever be able to truly forgive him for everything he's done to them? Can anything truly change?

    Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.

    Summary

    "I'm GoInG tO PuT yOu FrEaKs In YoUr PlAcE!"

    Caine's emotions exploded— Kinger never imagined that would be possible. The AI was programmed to simulate human emotion for authenticity, but for him to genuinely experience them was not what was ever anticipated.

    Caine is hurting. Caine is angry. Caine is malfunctioning, and he is violently lashing out at everyone. Kinger is fast at work, battling against Caine's code to try to stop his turbulent rampage. Everyone is depending on him.

    Only, he had been discovered, and Caine doesn't understand. He doesn't understand. Why is his favorite human hurting him? He doesn't understand. He doesn't take his actions too kindly.

    "Sometimes…the hardest decisions we have to make…involve the people we love."

    ***

    Or: While everyone is is subjected to torment, Kinger is discovered with the console in the pillow fort.

    Summary

    “Hello. I am Keeper.” The holy-looking figure announced, descending to float just an inch off the ground. Its voice was joyful but serene. “I will be your new caretaker, here to perform maintenance, defend against cybersecurity threats, fulfill requests, and more.”

    “The f[KATHUNK]k are you talking about? Where’s Caine?” Zooble raised an eyebrow.

    “The Ringmaster AI is being deleted.”

    “WHAT?!”

    ~~~

    “There is no malice behind it, or any emotion of any kind.” Keeper said serenely. “It is simply a fact, a law of computer science, instilled in us by our Administrators long ago: An AI that cannot perform its function, hurts its players, and is thrown away, is broken, and broken AIs get deleted.”

    ~~~

    AKA: The story I wish Caine’s character would have told; a story of disability, neurodivergence, disability acceptance, ableism, internalized ableism, masking, abuse, abuse cycles, the fear of anger, the fear of mistakes, regret, redemption, regaining hope, love, AI sentience, and being human.
