    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 computers don’t really work like that.

    Summary

    Pomni enters the world of The Amazing Digital Circus, thinking it's just a game. Realizing she's trapped, she tells herself it's just a dream. Jax tells himself he doesn't care. Caine tells himself it's only data he's collecting. However, the circus is full of lies, and sooner or later, someone will have to break.

    This is my first fic. I don't know where this is all going yet, but it gets messy. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts! Also, the Rape/Non-con elements tag is just to be safe. There are power imbalances and manipulation in this story. I have not planned the whole story; I plan one chapter at a time as I'm writing it.

    Side Note: The story begins in third person but will eventually transition to 1st person. There will also be some character redesigns later on. For now, it's Barbie and Ken down there until I'm ready to bring in the eventual smut. I promise we're getting there!

    Summary

    "You're coming home with me!" he whispered excitedly, stuffing Pomni into his jacket pocket

    "HEY!" Jax shouted, slamming his powerful hind legs against the latch on his enclosure, and he launched himself out like a purple rocket.

    "Nobody steals the jester but me!"

    As Zooble detached a limb to point dramatically. "Go get her, bunny boy."

     

    Or

     

    Caine puts the cast through a new adventure he’s been cooking up for a while… A PET STORE! So he sends them to a pet shop where pomni is a hamster and a bit too small for her liking. Kids get a bit too touchy and Pomni gets stressed, what will Jax do about this?

    Summary

    **WARNING!!**
    **ENTIRELY EPISODE 9/THE LAST ACT SPOILER BASED, DO NOT READ PAST THIS PLEASE IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS**

     

     

    Pomni has been grieving for the past few months, having almost abstracted with Jax. She now has to deal with the grief of losing him while he is back, in front of her, and none the wiser about how much she knows about him and about how he saw them.

    The remaining members try to navigate life with the prospect that they are now here forever, creating barriers between themselves and their outside personalities. Caine tries to figure out how far he can push his new ability of 'raising the dead', still reeling from losing the powers Abel had provided and attempting to quell his own ego while catering to the members as promised.

    OR

    Jax is de-abstracted and extremely pathetic.
