#fragmentationtadc

This AU takes place after episode 9. The AU is now called Fragmentation AU.

Some notes on Caine:

His cane is based on Bubble in honor (and for him to mourn). He often talks to it to cope and process new information.

He often hums and sings some simple songs to himself. His favorite song is Daisy Bell.

Caine loves hugs.

He still loves bees and art and gets along very well with Gangle. She taught him how to use fountain pens for lining art.

The two members he is closest to is Pomni and Kinger.

Pomni and Caine spend plenty of time together with (abstracted) Jax in the makeshift tent. Jax often keeps distance from Caine though. Every few days they swap Jax between the Abstracted Aquarium and the tent.

Kinger and Caine have almost a father/son relationship but Kinger is fairly hesitant to feed into it. Caine is also too nervous to admit he sees Kinger as a father figure. Even though most (if not all) of the members see Kinger as one.

Caine is seen as a crybaby at times. He can get very emotional and just wants everyone to be satisfied and happy.

Has a strained relationship with (abstracted) Jax but struggles to connect most with Zooble.

He has some similar traits with Kinger such as: - Preferring the dark (especially when stressed). - Loves insects. - Trembles when overwhelmed. - Prefers to apologize while making direct eye contact (he learned that one with time). - Knows how to code (is still a beginner even though he is 100% Creative AI, Kinger tutors him from time to time).

He often sits in the Abstracted Aquarium and talks to the Abstracted. He prefers to read them books or just try to keep them company. He is extremely remorseful for how he treated all of them.

His favorite book is The Ugly Duckling.

Caine prefers the British spelling of English words because he says they are "more fun to write".

The middle "Jack in the box" Gangle was mostly due to a joke between me and my friend. Since her ribbons look kinda like springs.

Some notes on Gangle:

She currently has a new main mask she has been using. She conjured it to see if she can sit in the middle of her emotions. Sometimes, with the help of Zooble, she either makes new ones to try or finds new ones in Zooble's parts box.

She cries when overwhelmed by emotions, happy, sad, scared, etc. Anything that may be "a lot" to deal with.

Zooble made the flower bow accessories on her mask because Zooble said she was "missing something".

She has gained a lot more confidence in herself since finding out about how the real her is doing well for herself.

Gangle often hangs out with Caine to teach him to draw and how to use references properly.

She and Zooble go on dates every few days to get away from everyone and to have alone time. Caine often "accidentally" finds his ways onto at least 1/4 of them. He doesn't interact, he just happens to be somewhere on the map and waves when he sees them. He gives them space.

Gangle does visit (Abstracted) Jax once or twice, mostly to air her grievances and to rant about how he treated her. Oddly enough, it seemed like the abstraction felt remorseful somehow? Gangle hasn't been back since the 6th day Jax was abstracted.

Gangle and Kinger don't hang out much. If they do, it is only really in group settings. - When Kinger is sane it feels almost unsettling to her. She cannot explain why. - When Kinger isn't lucid she also struggles due to the amount of times he asks about where Jax is or what happened to the Digital Circus. It doesn't happen too often luckily.

When she trips, gets thrown/tossed, or gets knocked into, she falls into a pile of ribbons and her mask tumbles. She only needs help up if her mask gets separated from her ribbons to far from where the ribbons can reach.
