caine is an assimilated object similar to ID_THREESPINES and wagyu, conserving some of his personality amongst the infection while still being incredibly influential and powerful. he poses as a regular object and, instead of infecting and killing everything he sees, he keeps a certain group of objects he's oh so graciously «saved» (kidnapped) relatively safe in an abandoned circus to keep himself company.
abstraction is replaced by death. all abstracted characters died from being infected, starsheet afflictions or suicide. npcs are usually infected objects that caine uses as actors for his adventures, though occasionally he does create things himself. the circus and caine were born, so to speak, at the very start of the apocalypse… but the story would take place around the latest objectified chapter, body (not counting night lights since it's a flashback). evidently, no one has been here for as long as they were in the digital circus, but it's still a long time considering their situation!!! kinger's sanity returns in the dark, as a consequence of his faux gift, which would make him hyper-aware in the dark.
i struggled with zooble and gangle the most… i made zooble a child of the night because that's the closest to swapping parts as we'll get here 😭 similarly, gangle gets a mythical assigned animal because i can't think of a better way to adapt her tragedy and comedy masks than this. instead of turning into a wolf under certain circumstances, she turns into a hominid object when she's afraid. my explanation to as why everyone is this unique is that caine picked out the objects he saw as most interesting, until later down the drain where he had to conform with anyone he saw.
