Hiiii hello I am curious about what your DreamCast au is about and any info about it you'd like to share👀
HELLOO!! Thank you so much for asking and I’m so sorry it took so long to respond! Had to get all our facts down neatly ^^
The DreamCast AU Info Drop!!
Before we get into "What is The DreamCast AU?" We need to cover some Vocab first!
Similar to a Lucid Dream; "The DreamScape" is a realm a cast member (Pomni— for example) can slip into while asleep. This is a portion of The Amazing Digital Circus thats comparative to "falling under the map" of one of Caine's adventures. However; Caine does not have access to this realm concidering it is simply a collection of all sources that trains his AI and inspirations for TADC as a whole. "The DreamScape" is essentially The Mind of Caine— in a way) Because of this, Caine cannot access it on a physical or even conscious level. (Not Entirely)
There are different levels in The DreamScape. Some are Caine's WIPs, are direct files of medias that trained his AI, and more.
Assets (Basically— rooms full of items created by Caine or are directly extracted from varying medias)
Cast Character Assets and Consciousness's (The cast's Avatars and their Minds. This includes Abstracted Cast Members)
Worlds/Maps (Holds no NPCs and is often scrapped projects from Caine or directly extracted levels from Games or other medias)
The System Itself (Rooms of code or vast emptiness's)
Concept Work (All concepts and assets for the current Big Top Tent and other attractions. This includes exact up-to-date maps of TADC) (These— Caine has access to and must be traversed without drawing his attention. Think of this layer as the "forefront" of his mind.)
Nyko (The Controller of TADC, in a way. The one way to fully access TADC's code and change it. Possibly the only real way to escape The Amazing Digital Circus.)
The story of "The DreamCast AU" follows TADC cast and a few of our (Kero,Lokear, and I's) ocs as they attempt to recover after the events of Episode 7 of TADC. In Pomni and Jax's attempts to get some rest— they find themselves falling into a deep sleep. One so deep they landed in The DreamScape. Pomni, a cabin atop a snowy mountain. Jax, an large, dark, room with a stained glass floor that was coated in water that spilled from the curved sides and into the abyss.
They both grow increasingly more confused when their outfits had changed into something far more comfortable, yet horrifyingly unfamiliar. Their respective designs resembled characters from a game they've played in the human world through motifs and silhouettes. These designs also held motifs to things they held close to themselves. For Jax, its a twilight sky with stars beginning to shine. As for Pomni, its her darker, more muted, colors to add a calmness that she tends to search for.
Pomni eventually finds Ribbit in the Cabin and conversed with her over the course of many nights. Some nights— Ribbit will be there physically. Others.. it would be as though there had never been another character to step foot in that cabin.
Jax quickly noticed a ring attached to his hip and, even sooner, found the first of many key's on a pedestal across from where he stood. He grabbed the key and the pillar sank into the, water coated, stained glass floor below him and was replaced with the first door to who knows where.
The rest of the cast also go through their own experiences in The DreamScape and find their way to eachother eventually. Now the cast has to learn to trust if this was real (or as real as something can be in The Digital Circus) and attempt to trust one another to undercover the secrets that lay below the surface!
This is a collaborative AU and the three of us write it together. This is purely for fun! The others have allowed me (Theia) to post information about it for FUN! Feel free to ask questions too ^^ Any questions directed toward the others for their ocs or characters they write for can be asked on their blog! Ill be reblogging them here as well with a tag "#TDCAU Aks!"
