♔. 𝐃𝐫. 𝐀𝖇𝖊𝖑 𝐊𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘𝖑𝖊𝖞 a scientist with a PHD specified in 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐔𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 , during 7 years of these studies he fell in love && wedded an entomologist [ C____NAME FILE LOST . ] who attended the same institution . She was bright , creative , funny && Abel loved her so .
They spent their time working on a project together . A video game . Pairing her boundless creativity with his skill in computers . To make something as one . So they funded . Both were financially stable enough to start a business from the ground up . They called it C & A . Their initials but 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 & 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 at it's core due to the project focus on the concept video game && immersive headset that was otherwise unheard of in the current 90s .
An AI named 𝐂.𝐀.𝐈.𝐍.𝐄 [ Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity ] was created , the name both another play on words to match Abel's own but also an acronym for his capabilities .
They wanted to make something fun && whimsical for all ages , something for their possible future children to play . Abel became obsessed with the project , unfortunately often neglecting his duties as a husband by mistake , frustrated with his failure to give his wife a child [ after they discovered that he suffers from infertility && their only success ; they lost her . ] he thought he could at least give them a legacy && focused all his time in an attempt to strengthen the AI . A folly .
During later development C___ && others under the company play-tested the headset only to learn that the exit to lead the game had become allusive , entirely . Kingsley after long nights Kingsley entered in attempts to free his wife && co-workers but ultimately remained trapped . ⊹₊
𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑 : 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟓 . 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓: 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟖 ?
footnotes notes for this meta in bullet points below the cut for further reading / it's mostly just explaining how I came to my individual ideas with some evidence / findings to back it up .
♔.݁ C & A I'm actually starting to think he might be ' Abel ' as a name recently was dropped to be a woman's name ' Christine ' which may be the 'C' in 'C & A ' . So Christine && Abel . / Computers && Appliances [ maybe both && a play on initials ]
♕. He said his wife was ' funny && creative && into entomology ' && CAINE stands for ' creative artificial network entity ' && also draws bees like he's always drawing bees . That gives CAINE oddly more of a link to Queenie anyway not to mention ...
♗. Kinger has confirmed a PHD in computer science && mocks the game for it ‘ 7 years of computer science for this , originally in an unused version of the script Pomni asks ’ why is Caine making adventures like this ? ‘ to which Kinger looks at her with concern [ he knows the adventure is about him maybe ? maybe doesn’t wish for her to know ] && his apology to Pomni as I said before about ' being my fault we went down this path ' feels like more than just you know taking the wrong path in the game .
♘ . His meet intro is the only one that ends with a date like ' 1995 ' && we know that at the current time of the series breaking bad was already released because Jax references it which would be in the 2010s . Jax is the 3rd that's been there the longest out of the current cast maybe Making it 15-20 years since this whole thing started .
♖ . && the current timeline for anyone entering is Kinger somewhere in the 90s with his wife , Ragatha [ an estate agent likely looking to sell the abandoned property then finding the headset] , Jax && Gangle are a mystery && both Zooble && Pomni discovered the headset while scouting out abandoned buildings as they've both stated that they do .
♙. 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 : this is simply for my own enjoyment on my blog it's a bit of fun I understand that Goose has her own vision && I'm happy to be proven wrong to which I'll simply refer back to all of this && set it on fire ! [ or keep it as an au but for now it's canon to this blog ] likewise; there is evidence against any point I made here one being I cannot explain how the bodies at the headset are being moved for someone else to fall into the same trap like Pomni did not see anyone else at the desk as far as we are aware && seen . With that as an example . I also DO NOT expect my writing partners to change their lore for me we can always blend or discuss how we'd like to merge ideas or diverge from them !
Little Bonus but Kinger && Queenie are King && Queen chess pieces maybe alluding to their involvement / possible head part in creating the game , likewise the entire circus is a chessboard made up with black && white tiles .

RED 𝙵𝙾𝚄N𝙳 𝙰 𝙱𝚄𝙶 : " does it ever get easier ? "
The shaggy-red @taller-guy performer catches him off guard && he jolts . Eyes recalibrate , slotting into place one by one until they meet him .
♔. ❝ Does 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 get easier ? ❞ The words expelled from the latter seems to linger between them like vapour . ❝ 𝐎𝐇 ! Yes . Right . ❞ He's caught up .
Time stretched further here it was incalculable && it always seemed to disavow the will of && present past peers .

I often wonder why I'm still here , what keeps me here . I've lost so much already && continue to . Family , friends , faces , my memories ― ❞ He almost loses himself in lament . Something wills him back this time , however .
❝ But then come 𝖒𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖘 𝖑𝖎𝖐𝖊 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖘𝖊 && I remember that it's worth it . ❞ His eyes seem to gleam with a smile towards the other . ❝ It's not easy but I promise if you look for a reason to keep on going ; you'll find it . I just don't need to keep losing people I care about . If I was always here enough to do something about it I would . I just have to trust you'll be okay without me even though I'll always be here in someway . I think it matters that I am . Just being here might help somebody some day it's the least I can do . ❞ ⊹₊

JAX 𝙵𝙾𝚄N𝙳 𝙰 𝙱𝚄𝙶 : " you abandoned me . " (jax for pain c:<)
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫 . 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐜𝐤 . Hand soars forward to weigh on the other's shoulder . At his very core he knows his decision had not been a conscious one .
you abandoned me / @pomnieranians . ♟️■□■□■
♔. ❝ 𝕹𝖔 ! ❞ Voice cracks on the word , splits open && rebounds off of metaphysical walls . That didn't happen , that's not how it ― God not again . It could never have been a decision made premeditatedly . Caine's games had descended into something entirely sardonic . An open choice between Gangle && Jax . How could anyone chose ? Yet it had been staged as one or no one . Yes , they knew they were not to perish yet it didn't matter ; pain was still viable && Jax's hurt && frustration valid in every sense of the word .
His recollection of the event was wrenched by the gravitational pull in his mind , gorged by the blackhole where his memoirs lay to waste .
♔. ❝ Jax, I'm sorry . I can see that I've let you down && for that ; I've let myself down too . ❞ His eyes varnish , lacquered with his regret . It was far from the first time that didn't null the pain any more . He feels it with every single cell . He was apologetic for more than Jax could ever possibly know , more than he ( 𝖍𝖎𝖒𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖋 ) could know in this moment . ❝ I wish I could know what was going through my mind in that moment . ❞ ⊹₊

The ease in Ragatha's demeanour lately is something he's acknowledged && thankful for . She deserved the restful moments , the space between their down-time && Caine's ventures . The 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒 in the absence of the 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖔𝖘 .
The soft glimmer of his eyes even beneath the perylene black of a so acclaimed ' 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 ' expresses his own warmth && content . Of course he had meant the fortress though also their polygonal prison , perhaps that was best left unsaid . He has more accepted the bounds of code to be his existence though the young would naturally despair . There was meaning even in this world though that is a lesson learnt in age , in years spent here , in time's elasticity .
⸺ ♔. ❝ Good . ❞ He hums to himself , busying his own hands , allowing them to move across the lacquer of the monochromatic tiles . ❝ I'm glad you like it here , with me . The fortress is usually much smaller though it accommodates whoever is inside . ❞ He explains .
⸺ ♔. ❝ I personally find it's better suited for two . ❞ / @ragamuffinrags cont. ⊹₊

All but jolts when he sees the familiar outline of the little jester in the unlit room , the hall cascading the faintest of light over her . Making it unmistakable what he saw . He moves into the space , silent . 𝖋𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖊𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘 && 𝖎𝖓𝖉𝖎𝖘𝖈𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖇𝖑𝖊 is his ligneous visage .
There's an intolerable silence . Filled with static crackling && distorting around them as though the whole room would corrode into nothing more but its own code .
Disembodied hand reaches for the butterfly display , taking it effortlessly from her grasp && bringing it to his askew line of sight to look upon it . After what seems like eternity he finally lowers it for his eyes to rest on her again . The sternness in his gaze seems to soften .
⸺ ♔. ❝ Looks like I'm not the only one who comes to visit , my dear , ❞ Spoken to someone not even within the walls .
❝ Pomni , I didn't know you had access to this room . It's usually locked up to knox .❞ His voice returning back into the room , seems as soft && gentle as it usually was in these moments in 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 . He simply motions to sit on the bed , hand still griping the framed butterfly like a vice grip . If he's angry then he's all too good at feigning it . No, it's not anger . Not even deceit .
⸺ ♔. ❝ I'm glad that someone else thinks to check in on her room once in a while .❞ / @headsetjester cont. ⊹

⸺ ♔. The brazen buck had taken himself out of the awards ceremony . No one seemed to notice that the resident ' unhinged monarch ' was actually more composed in the dim-lit room . He took a moment to follow the animated rabbit's silhouette soften && dissipate as it slipped away into the lavatory .
Just as Caine called for Bubble to sound a drum roll was when he took the opportunity to slip away . He had noticed the tension between the young , unruly troupe member && the girls . A running theme that's perhaps run on too long . He motions up the isle on the far left , unseen && waits . As Jax returns he sees the break in his mask , he sees the evident pull of his usual crooked grin now falter . Then just as sudden the mask is up again . He moves to sit besides him in the crowd , not even bothering for an excuse . One wasn't necessary . He knew the preconceived idea the others had of him , that he was crazy sometimes leaning into it served him well . Jax didn't need to be alone right now && perhaps someone he didn't see as a threat just being near was all it will take . / @earfeared ⊹

⸺ ♔. ❝ I'm - where ? ❞ There was no clarity for how this rule [ implemented or not ] that he could only remember in darkness ; was it instantaneous or did it take time of exposure for him to come back into a sense of knowing ?
The way his eyelids raise into into somewhat of a smirk && he chuckles . He could harbour a sense of humor , always more calm veiled in vantablack . Mind of resilience his fortress was an intentional foil to the damage the simulation had done to his mind . As though , miraculously , the blind could see better in the dark .
Fortress seemed to meld around them , making itself bigger , Kinger doesn't react . He knew the characteristics of the pillow structure well .
Despite the perspicacity of his remarks ; he had the how && the who && the where just not the 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 . 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 got lost on their transition to the fortress .
⸺ ♔. ❝ Pomni , 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 can I help you with ? Was there something you needed ? ❞ He saw no other reason for them to both be in this space not unless she sought guidance or something else .
His world was a whole other beast to the dreamscape nightmare they were already in. Perhaps that's why she avoided the fort. Even if she suspected it to be his comfort zone, his safe place.
What went on in here was something she didn't really think she could process with all the remaining stress she already had on a daily basis. Besides. She understood ones need to be alone and never wanted to disturb what little peace he had in here...but since it was he himself who was giving her permission to enter these sacred uh...walls, well who was she to deny him?
Far more calmly, did she shuffle after the king piece avatar, her eyes wandering from one side to the next, fearful a floating pair of teeth and eyes would come venturing out of the corner at any second. But thankfully it looked like even Caine himself feared this place. She curiously wondered why...Nonetheless when the fort was opened to her, would she duck inside, making sure to watch her step in the darkness, her gaze never trailing far from it's owner.
"Wow its...bigger on the inside-"
Did she just make a reference to something?
"You sure we're safe to talk in here, Kinger?" Pomni asked cautiously, poking her head out from his side, her gaze up to him uncertain. Wait. It was dark in here...did that mean-

"You there, Kinger? Like...really?"

Stooping to his haunches he situates himself behind the ragdoll . Her hair only gave the appearance of soft , interlocked cotton as real yarn would , the sensation was absent . However the memory of tactile sensation was inborne . There was a sense of 𝖕𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖙𝖔𝖒 touch as he watched the red twisting locks bounce with ever stroke . It still brought about a cathartic repose .
⸺ ♔. ❝ It really is like red liquorice, you know ? ❞ His hand still continuing its ministrations with the brush . ❝ It's such a pretty color too , was it this color -❞ He trailed off as though in thought or , incidentally , he may lost the thought .

He noticed the aversion , her avoidance is a mistrust earned by his own actions . The lights had shut off at some point while the hostilities had shifted to the hall . He allows the silence to wash over them , a singular pixelated heart atop the crown of his head . Calculating , finding the words before he spoke .
♔. ❝ No it's not , you're frustrated , I can tell . ❞ He too drawing himself in a little tighter . ❝ && you have every right to be . I left you behind . ❞
❝ that was ... well I'm not too proud of that .❞ He watches her , the ragdoll's words often manifested as her deflection && a smile stitched along to match . She seems too worn to really uphold either .
❝ More than that ... I'm disappointed in myself ❞ he waited , hoping that she turn her gaze in search of an answer ❝ because I let you down ❞ Hands clasp together && he takes a deep shaky breath . Of course it bore its own weight for him . His wife ... he took the sole responsibility for that && he will do the same in tern for Ragatha's broken spirit .
♔. ❝ I made you feel as though you 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 or that I valued 𝖜𝖎𝖓𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌 over 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖈𝖔𝖒𝖕𝖆𝖓𝖞 . && I realize that . You have every right to be angry . ❞ He could explain himself , reason that was not the case but he holds back . He knows Ragatha needs the space to accept her own feelings first . ❝ You know ? You're not protecting me by hiding your feelings from me . && I don't need you to protect me from you / @deepspacevivarium ■□■□.❞

The dimly lit room doused his retinas in satiable clarity , seeping into his mind in a cool stream so he could delve deeper into that part of himself so often out of tide . He hadn't initially noticed the tears still pricking at the eyes of her mask && somehow , miraculously her face still yielded a smile . He found it as she pointed it out to him .
♔. ❝ 𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄 ! ❞ He still maintained some of his own quirks it seems even when he was lucid , raising his voice in his excitement despite them being so close . ❝ This is great ! ❞ He leans down to inspect her mask , his bright , sacred hues of blue reflecting her joy-stricken mask . Seeing the girls happy was often his own priority , when he had the incentive to be present there with them . Even when joy doesn't come to them . He always has time for his surrogate daughters . That is as he sees them at least .
❝ You're right you're practically glowing . ❞ He wanted to say ' beautiful ‘ but you never knew these days whether it was appropriate or would be well-received . && maybe this paternal yearning too won’t be so acceptable .
Heart warmed by the mention of Zooble's assistance . He was happy that Gangle had Zooble to confide in . Though Jax brings about an opposite reaction . That's twice today one of his own has brought up Jax in a not so positive light . He still has a lot to learn . Immature && the 𝖋𝖗𝖆𝖌𝖎𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖞 of his masculinity , not to mention fear of genuine closeness is was isolating him . That's not a good position to be in for himself or anyone around him . Especially tipping Gangle && Ragatha's already unsteady scales over their limits .
♔. ❝ I can see that you two bring out the best in each other . ❞ A knowing nod though concern still lingers about the buck . ❝ Why don't we talk some more over here . ❞ Disembodied hand levitates towards her an offer to follow him . ❝ I want to hear more about how you faired on a team with Zooble . ❞ .⊹₊
Oh yeah, right they were still in the Loser Room weren't they? Gangle had gotten lost in the moment there. How often did that get to happen? She did often wonder if she got into herself far too much to notice what was going on around her. She was fond of the Digital Themepark too since she had a secret hiding place there. Most didn't get to see it since it was a spot she wanted to hide from everyone.
But, right now seeing Kinger coming towards her. She could tell in that moment he was more coherant. Gangle was so happy when that happened! Kinger was so smart, always seeming to know what to say. Gangle always missed it when that part of him was gone.

"Kinger...it was the best! And look! I'm still smiling! Even without my Comedy Mask I can feel happy! I never thought it was possible, but it is I can feel more than simply misery. I can...feel...myself..."
Tears fell but they were happy tears, every part of her radiated a bright warmth that felt so unlike what Gangle normally gave off. In this moment she was the one who was shining brightest.
"Zooble helped me so much...made me feel...like I was...more than just a plaything for Jax to torment. They are so cool...I..."
There was a small trace of pink upon her mask for a moment. Hinting at something deeper, but Gangle herself didn't feel like she was there yet. This was but a first step to finding a way to hold onto her smile. Until she did that, she could hardly try to love Zooble that way.

CAINE 𝙵𝙾𝚄N𝙳 𝙰 𝙱𝚄𝙶 : 'tell me...was I just a placeholder.'
. . . Even without arms to stem off of shoulders somehow there was a weight to the sinking of his posture . Eyes filled to the brim of with unintelligible mix of emotions all hitting him at once , confusion , guilt && something else .
❝ I - don't ... ❞ He stumbles over his words , trying to make sense of it all in his head. He's lucid , yes , he's aware , his mind is clearer . It doesn't mean he has all the answers . He doesn't . Some of the things he's forgotten over time have become easier to avoid bringing forward than to sit with for god know how long it has been since entering the belly of the beast .
♔.* ― ❝ Hold on a second ... ❞ Caine being AI does not exclude him from their colorful ensemble albeit it is the one thing that gives him more power over them in this place but he is still 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐍𝐄 . Leave it to the crackpot chess piece to console the machine keeping them here … but did it matter ? Escape might be impossible , even if it was , his best years were over . His wife … He didn't want to know a world without her . But the others . They deserved their freedom . Still , Caine wasn't entirely to blame for their plight now was he ? It was unfair to allow him to take full 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 .
♔.* ― ❝ I think you know the answer to that already , even if I may not . ❞ The train of thought goes on && on for a moment ❝ I would say you're right where you're supposed to be , honestly . ❞ Even if the program / @dentalhijinks has long since gone rogue it at least still retains something recognizable .
❝ I can't say the same for the rest of us . ❞ He chuckles bitterly . ❝ Well maybe I'm supposed to be here . ❞ It must be odd to see thought stirring behind his eyes , something uncanny about the lack of a vacant stare .
❝ You know ? The one thing we DO have in common is ; ❞ He looks at him now , sensibility pouring from his gaze . ❝ 𝐍𝐄𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐔𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐄 . ❞
He situates himself onto a pillow , the fort's keeps him sheltered from the light && central with strands of thought now unshackled in his mind . Head turns in the ringmaster's direction but hesitates .
❝ Though I suppose I could make a joke here that you are quite literally holding the place up , I think . On account of you still functioning && all . ❞ Suffice to say Kinger has always been a bit of a dork .
