Masterpost

An AU where the TADC cast is in reality after escaping the Circus. They learn they were horrible people in real life, the very scum of humanity.

But they don't care.

What are their crimes?

Gangle: Has a split personality. One is happy, kind, the perfect image of innocence. But her other personality is a kidnapping sadist.

Zooble: Drug dealer, collects rare items at any cost- even killing people to get the items they covet.

Kinger: Used to be a Mafia boss, but after being broken in the circus, he's pretty much useless. Luckily, the cast grew fairly close to him in the Circus and take care of him.

Ragatha: Kidnapper, bit of a yandere. Always wanted a child but was infertile and 'too unstable' to adopt. Currently in a relationship with Pomni.

Jax: A low-level, charming theif.

Pomni: Works in the Mafia Kinger used to lead. A skilled gunwomen. Currently in a relationship with Ragatha.

Hi all,

I'm so sorry but theres a lot going on in my life rn and I just don't have the time to manage 2 AU's and write 2 fanfics at the same time. So this blog will now be inactive.

I'm so sorry.

Hey all,

I have decided to make this into a non-interactive ask blog, meaning that any asks you send will not be incorporated into the story, to make it run smoother. I will be deleting all the answered story asks. Sorry.

Does the cast still look like their circus characters or are they humanized?

Humanized. My bestie @daybr3akshell made some art of Kinger and Jax.

How did they escape? How was it when they escaped was there blood?

Mod: Basically, C&A got in trouble with the government for putting people in a digital hell. Very anticlimactic, I know. And after the game was stopped, they took of their headsets and over the course of a few days their memories came back, and they remembered their shitty lives. And instead of becoming better people, as one would think, they just...didn't change.

You all know this is partially an askblog, right?

Y'all can ask them things.

[they-deserved-it]

"Would you stop looking in the rearview mirror?" Ragatha said, eyeing her girlfriend nervously. "You'll end up driving into a tree or something."

"I'm just being cautious."

"I can watch behind us! You just focus on driving."

"Yeah right. You'll be on your phone the whole time."

"No I won't!"

"You on your phone right now!"

Ragatha's eyes dart down to her hand, which was indeed holding her phone. "...Well it's a cute cat video-"

"You can watch it later!"

The two bicker and squabble as Pomni drives, barely even checking for cop cars following her- or keeping her eyes on the road. They don't stop fighting until-

"HOLY SHIT POMNI BRAKE-"

A thud is heard as the Mafia member slams on the brakes a moment too late. They sit in the car in shocked silence, Pomni's knuckles turning white as she clutches the wheel.

"...Oh God, what if we killed someone?!" Ragatha yelps, scrambling to get her seatbelt undone.

"What if we didn't?" Pomni says darkly, grabbing a gun out of the glove compartment and sliding out of the car. It takes a beat for Ragatha to realize what she meant, before groaning. "Oh. Right." They had just run someone over. If they weren't dead, it's not like a Mafia member and a wanted kidnapper could just stroll into a hospital and drop the person off. She sighed and got out of the car, slamming the door closed with more force than necessary.

"Are they dead?" she asked, walking to the front of the car.

"I wish." Pomni muttered hatefully. "Looks like we hit a rabbit."

I frown and turn my attention to the body-

Oh.

"FUCKKKKK!" Jax groans, slowly getting up. "The hells wrong with you, Jester?"

"Gotta get away, better not get caught~" The thief sung as he weaved around the foot traffic, yelling following close behind his fast feet.

"I think for once, I'm fine with missing the best part~" He dodged surprised pedestrians with a snide smirk on his face, briefly touching the stolen wallet in his pocket as two cops on foot sped after him.

"STOP!" One yelled, panting slightly.

"No thanks!" Jax called back, tilting his head back and cackling as he slipped into an alleyway, ducking behind a dumpster and listening to the slap of rushed shoes on pavement as they neared, then fade.

The thief chuckled and stood up, dusting imaginary grime off his worn out T-shirt and pants, before exiting his hiding place, whistling cheerfully. Nobody even gave him a second glance.

He smirked and pulled the wallet out of his pocket, opening it. A license, credit card, a $25 Starbucks giftcard, and-

"200 dollars?!" He muttered, smirk turning into a scowl. "Well...better than nothing." He grumbled, shoving the stolen property back in his pocket. "At least that giftcard will get me a nice Ristretto." He pulled out his phone next, causally scrolling through his social media feed.

"Hmm...cute, nice....ugh, thats so dumb...ooooh, girl that is a look!" He mumbled as he went through post after post. He paused for a moment, clicking that users profile when he heard the car coming towards him. It was only at that moment that he realized he was standing in the middle of the road.

And another to realize that the car was about to hit-

[they-deserved-it]

"No, obviously we drove all the way here and forgot the knives at home." Pomni deadpanned, holding up the case. A dark scowl came over Gangles face for a moment, before turning into a bright, cheery smile.

"Thanks you so much!" She gushed, trying to take the case, only for Pomni to keep a firm grip on it. Gangle gives the Mafia member a ditzy, confused look.

"Why are you-"

"Money first." The look on Pomni's face made it clear she wasn't handing the knives over without the cash first. Gangle frowned, before pulling a wad of cash out of her pocket.

"Here-"

"Count it."

Ragatha can't hide her smirk as the girl stares at the money, before starting to count out loud.

"20, 40, 60..." She says out loud, flipping through the bills. "80...um...120..."

"100." Pomni corrects harshly. Gangle grits her teeth. "100, 120..." Ragatha feels her smirk widen. Gangle was terrible at counting, and Pomni knew it. It seems to take hours and hundreds of corrections before Gangle finally says "1000." Pomni holds out her hand, Gangle forcing her smile as she places the money into it.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Pomni says emotionlessly, turning on her heel and walking briskly back to the car. Ragatha gives Gangle a sarcastically sweet good-bye and follows.

[they-deserved-it]

They drive mostly in silence, Pomni focusing on the road, nervously checking the rearview mirror every few minutes.

"Do you see any cars following us?" She would ask every once in a while.

"No dear."

"Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that blue cars been behind us for a pretty long time-"

"You worry too much, sweetheart."

When they finally get to their meeting place, Pomni was a paranoid mess, constantly checking over her shoulder as she walked behind the crappy motel that was the usual meeting spot for much of the illegal activity in the city. Ragatha pats her head soothingly, which makes the younger girl scowl at her.

"Don't treat me like a child." She grumbled, looking around. "Where's-"

"I'm here, I'm here." A voice calls. We both turn to see a small dark skinned girl rushing over to us. "You got the knives?"

[they-deserved-it]

Pomni opens the briefcase, giving the knives a quick once-over. There were five, each more wicked than the last: Some were serrated, some had jagged tips, a ballistic knife, a curved switchblade. Each were specifically designed for one purpose only: to inflict crippling pain.

"You like knives Ragatha. Take a look at these and check to make sure their the good stuff." Pomni says, briskly strolling over to her bed, picking up her phone which she had tossed there.

"Gangle says she'll meet us in the usual spot in 30." She says, shoving the phone into the pocket of her jeans.

"...Hpmh." Ragatha mutters, tracing the edge of one of the knives. The former jester looks up.

"What? Something wrong with the knives? God, don't tell me I got scammed." She muttered, making her way to her girlfriends side.

"No, everything fine. It's just..." Ragatha gives a dramatic sigh. "You've never gotten me any fancy knives..." Pomni rolls her eyes.

"Well...maybe I can ask my contact if they have any cheap one, and I'll get you the past one I can afford, ok?" She says patiently, closing the briefcase. "Now, we should get going." She grabs the case and goes to head out.

"Wait! It's chilly out, you'll need a jacket." The older women says quickly, grabbing a nice leather jacket and helping the other girl put it on.

"Thanks." Pomni says, heading out of the house. It wasn't until she was opening the car door that she realized something was off.

"Is this new?" She asked, looking down at the jacket.

"Mhm!" The former ragdoll says proudly. Pomni stays silent for a moment, before giving her partner a rare, genuine smile.

"Its...nice." She says quietly, before hopping into the car, putting the case in the backseat. "Ok, now we really need to hurry."

[they-deserved-it]

"Pomni?"

The girl turns at the sound of her name, seeing the woman walking up to her. The woman smiles and pulls her into a hug that Pomni seems to barely tolerate. The woman traces the scar on Pomni's right cheek with her thumb before letting go.

"How're you?" The woman asks warmly, a sweet smile on her face. Pomni ignores the question, scowling slightly.

"You're late. You know Gangle wants those new knives as soon as possible, Ragatha." She mutters, walking over to a briefcase on the dresser of the bedroom. Ragatha frowns darkly.

"I've never really liked that girl..."

"Too bad."

[they-deserved-it]

Bowling ball?

Pomni frowns. "The fuck are you?" She snapped, running a hand through her hair.
