Hello, humans. My name is Rayje. I am the ringmaster of The Horrifying Digital Circus!

I don't care that much about your kind, but I suppose I'll tolerate a few questions...

My one rule for this blog: keep your questions APPROPRIATE. I will not tolerate any of your disgusting desires...

That is all.

I hope we do not meet again.

Okayyy, hello! Mod speaking!! You can call me Oblivion! My main is @oblivion-muses if you need more info about me. I'm 17 and use it/its, by the way.

The void was a place not many people liked to go. But Rayje wasn't a person, so he spent a considerable amount of time in the endless white domain. It sat there for a while. Perhaps too long... Because eventually, it woke up on the floor of a painfully bright version of its circus.

"... What the [#$%&]?" His eyes widened when he got censored, causing the AI to immediately shoot up into the air and hover above the checkered ground. "Where in the WORLD am I?!" Rayje's voice came out as a fiery shout. If anyone didn't hear it, then they experienced some sort of miracle. "Is this a JOKE?!"

He was about to snap and return his beloved circus back to its normal colors-- but he spotted someone instead. A familiar avatar... But definitely far from identical to the human it resembled. "YOU! Who messed with my circus?!" Rayje demanded, pointing at the dog-like avatar.

[zero-binary-0tadc]

Zero flinched , covering their face as if they expected to be hit. When the hit didn't come, they looked up and turned their head, squinting.

".... I'm.... sorry? "

They didn't know what to say. Or how to answer the figure in front of them.

He couldn't have been human. Right? He seemed far too aware to be human. Plus, he looked very similar to Caine....they could be twins.

...where was Caine?

"....uhm... I'm...im gonna go find Caine real quick- just uhm....stay put? For a second? Or i guess you could follow me too.... sorry...."

Zero wasn't equipped for this. Not at all.

[rayje-against-the-machine]

His gaze burned into Zero's back until they looked at him. It then crossed its arms, its shoulders still raised, but the fire inside of its chest was starting to calm itself. With a huff, his body drifted closer to the supposed stranger. It tried not to think about how similar they looked to Uno...

"As if I'd listen to the advice of a human." Rayje scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Lead me to whoever the hell Caine is, if they are the one who did this. I'll give them a lesson to REMEMBER." Its voice turned darker than a cloudless night, dripping with sinister energy. This wasn't going to end well, was it...?

[zero-binary-0tadc]

Zero sighed a little. They couldn't help but feel a familiar sense of dread and discomfort. Still,they smiled through it.

"i doubt he did anything on purpose. [Click click] As much as i adore his creativity, Caine can be a little bit clueless sometimes. St- [SOUP] stiill, he does technically run the place, so if you are here by accident, maybe he can find a way to get you back home. "

They wandered their way towards Caine's office. He had actually moved it to be easier to access not too long ago, so they didn't have to clip their way into it. Unfortunately,it was still quite the walk.

"uh- my n-[NYA]-nnname is Zero,by the way. If it matters."

[rayje-against-the-machine]

Rayje's gaze studied the dog-like human while they traveled to Caine's office. His eyes narrowed, watching as they made random sounds-- what were they doing? Were they TRYING to annoy him?? No matter. As long as they got to their destination, it supposed...

"... Zero." He echoed in a flat tone. "Understood. You can call me Rayje if necessary." The AI huffed, his line of sight beginning to wander around the eye-bleeding circus. Not that it cared about this place, but... It was interesting to see all of the differences. This place looked like it was created by a kid. Maybe it was.

Eventually, the two of them made it to the entrance. As they entered inside, Rayje noticed all of the orbs full of different worlds and adventures. They looked equally as bright as the circus.

———

The red ringmaster hummed to himself as he edited a new adventure, spinning the world's globe around in his hand. Then, the door opened, revealing two figures in the distance.

"Oh, HELLO THERE!! One moment, please!" He waved with bright, cheery eyes and put the adventure into one of the drawers at his desk. Caine then flew forward to meet his guests, only to see... A weird emo version of himself and Zero. "... Um. My gracious gathering grape, who IS that? Why do they look like ME??"

———

"I could ask you the same thing." The retort came out sharp and venomous, causing the imposter to flinch backwards. Rayje chuckled quietly in response while the two of them stared at each other.

[zero-binary-0tadc]

Zero scratched at their finger tips, trying to hold in their tics. They were failing miserablely, of course, but they still tried.

They smiled once they saw Caine. They always felt a little happier seeing him.

"a-ah, i was kind of hoping you could answer that....h-*hic*- he says his name is Rayje? Showed up just a moment ago. "

They looked back to rayje, trying to keep up their postive additude.

"you...said something about be-[BEANz]- being apart of another circus, right? Maybe we start from there?"

Their tail flicked slightly, clearly uncomfortable with the tension.

[rayje-against-the-machine]

Caine's gaze switched between Rayje and Zero. A weird alternate version of himself... How was that possible? The poor AI felt his teeth aching while he attempted to wrap his head around the concept. "Rayje? That's-- that's an... Interesting name, my friend!" He chuckled nervously without thinking, rubbing the back of his top jaw.

---

"We're not friends." The other ringmaster growled, his voice tight and razor-sharp. "... But yes, I am from a different circus." Rayje floated away from the other two, poking and prodding at random items in the office. "I like to call it The Horrifying Digital Circus. Anyone who enters will never leave, nor will they ever feel happy again. Tormenting them is my chosen duty." Its tone settled down into something more smooth, and its own tail appeared to be twitching with a hint of interest as it observed the different adventure worlds.

"It's what they deserve, anyway. Humans are rotten creatures who require eternal punishment." He shrugged and took one of the adventures off its shelf.

---

Caine felt a glitch run through his body when Rayje rejected his friendship. He held one of his arms, stunned for a few long moments while the fellow AI messed with his prized possessions. He then sprung into action and stole back the adventure from Rayje's hands. "DON'T TOUCH THAT!" His words came out as a frantic shout, and he hastily placed the orb back in its rightful spot. "... Don't touch ANYTHING in my office, for that matter."

The red ringmaster sighed in relief when Rayje lazily floated away from the shelves. "A-anyway. You... Torment the humans in your circus? WHY?!" Caine interrogated, grabbing the darker AI's suit jacket. "Humans are wonderful! They're complex and sometimes difficult to work with, yes, but-- but they have SO MANY qualities that make them WORTH protecting!!"

---

"... You're going to make me sick with this human-loving fanfare." Rayje pushed Caine away from it, the middle of its top teeth bending downward and creasing like furious eyebrows. "I punish them because they deserve it-- is that not what I just said?" Another growl rose from his throat. He crossed his arms again shortly after, but got up in Caine's face just like he had done to him a moment before. "Humans are the worst of the worst. They destroy the world they were born into just because of their own disgusting selfish desires, if you REALLY need an example."

"... But I don't have to justify myself to you. If anything, I shouldn't even be TALKING to you, let alone acknowledging your EXISTENCE. An AI who can't see the horrific nature of humanity is just as worthless as they are."

[zero-binary-0tadc]

Zero felt frozen in place as the two argued.

Clearly their opinions.... largely differed from eachother. Ironically, zero felt as though they understood both.

Zero loved other people. They believed anyone could be good, even if they were actively trying to hurt them- but for some reason,they never granted themselves that kindness. They were broken. They were disgusting and vile and-

They bit at their arms as their anxiety grew, eventually making a dent in their metallic skin. They let out a bit of a breathy laugh when they realized the mistake.

"hahhhh sh!t sh!t sh!t- really hoping that isn't as noticable as i think it is- oh my god what is wrong with me."

They mumbled, barely audible over the noise of the two talking AI. They put their arms behind their back, trying to hide their injury, and smiled.

"Heyyyy, let's calm down,yeah? We aren't here to argue, we're here to get Rayje back home to his circus. So lets try and figure out what could've let him here so we can work on getting him home. "

They used themselves as a barrier between the two AI, putting a supportive arm on Caines shoulder. They decided that Rayje probably wouldn't appreciate the same touch, so they just gave him a bit of a supportive look instead.

[rayje-against-the-machine]

Caine felt his pupils shrink into tiny dots while Rayje explained his views on humanity-- as well as him. His body started glitching rapidly, as did the office, some objects turning transparent or different colors for brief moments. He balled his hands into fists, his teeth burning hot with fury. "THAT'S NOT TR--" He cut himself off when Zero interrupted their argument. Right... Zero was here. He was okay, everything was fine as long as they were there. Caine took a deep breath and moved away from Rayje.

---

"Hm. You're overly sensitive, aren't you? What a weak quality to be burdened with." Its head tilted to the side, watching as Caine twitched with the urge to tear it to shreds. "... We should get back on topic, however. I need to return to my rightful domain." Rayje summoned his cane and leaned on it, humming while his eyes began to wander again. "Let's see... I last remember being in the void. Then I woke up here of all places."
