    Summary

    After the end of the world, five survivors of AM’s endless torture awaken inside a strange digital world inhabited by an eccentric performer who has no idea humanity is long dead.

    As fear, paranoia, and old trauma bleed into the circus, Caine struggles to keep control of a world never designed to withstand something like AM.

     

    (Re-wrote the summary, because the old one was too general.)

    Summary

    “Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.

    oOo

    The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.

    Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

    Summary

    There was a problem. An issue, a minor error. Something in the code that clearly wasn't working correctly.

    What if after the events of episode 7, Caine decides that the players unhappiness and general issues with the circus are his fault, and he goes about fixing that in the worst way possible.

    Summary

    Christine is maybe, kind of, sort of, freaking out. Just a little bit.

    She had a weird dream: she was a jester, a prisoner in a wacky big-top circus tent, surrounded by colorful characters, and forced to partake in mildly dangerous adventures orchestrated by a toothy ringmaster.

    Why is Christine freaking out? Well, that dream might have been real.
