Hellooo!
I wanted to introduce a project I started on today an hour before new years! Let me know if you're interested (I'll continue either way)
I reimagined the plot to 'twist' in a different way after Episode 7. I know TADC has its flaws, and I still love it, but I decided an AU would be fun. I'll be fixing some gripes I have about screentime and how it's used, and how the characters are developed overall. Prologue under the cut!!
...
A new project!
A TADC AU!
The Regressing Digital Circus
(TRDC)
<<Prologue>>
The Amazing Digital Circus wasn’t in the best state. Caine had just tricked them all with an adventure faking an exit, and making them believe an NPC was a human who programmed the game, and knew a way to make them leave. Hell, Caine was planning this for so long he had that NPC eavesdrop them since Pomni’s arrival. To Caine’s surprise, his adventure didn’t bode well. Now they all sat on the sand, continuing the so-called beach adventure. All devastated in their own way. They didn’t even attempt to wonder what Caine would do next.
Kinger was buried in the sad, Pomni decided to faceplant her face in the cold, brittle, and lifeless shore. Contrary to the other two, Ragatha’s face was very much clear. Her face was discerned, showing she didn’t know how to feel. Almost childlike, as she sat in a fetal position. Jax sat, and looked at his reflection on the ocean-water. A very much fake one at that. It brought him back to his one-sided argument with Caine, about the mind-control. Was his thoughts fake? Artificial? Is he any different than the ringmaster desperately trying to be human? Gangle’s happiness from the first part of the beach adventure was erased, even if she was completely silent, in the end, when witnessing the whole exit-fiasco. Zooble, on the other hand, had her parts all dismembered. Each part floated in its own way.
Although Caine, is particularly ashamed. He, after careless consideration from Bubble and himself, decides to regress his code. He remembers the many times human used the phrase ‘Put yourself in our shoes’, and decides to try it. Except, since this is a reckless decision, he forgets to take the precautions to return his administrative rights after. He knows he could never trust Bubble, ‘That damned parasite! I should’ve took matter into my own hands.’ He scoffs, still self-deprecating, he truly and thoroughly believed he’d lost his rights forever.
