Hypothetically, How would the cast react when they find files about their old lives?

Jax: "Ha! I'm just as cool as I knew I'd be. Just hope the frat doesn't miss me too much."

Zooble: "Follows... couldn't even perform my job with grace in real life either. They were only kids...kids, and I let them down."

Ragatha: "Well, well, well, all those hours planning those protests and stand outs... They really were worthless after all. Guess I was a little too overconfident huh..."

Gangle: "Suppose I wanted to much. Both my family and friends just... separate.

Kinger: "Ha, I should've left that woman when I had a chance...but I will always miss, you... my little princess..."

Caine: "...No thank you, this man... he... he no longer exists."

Pomni: "No no no no no, this isn't right... THAT... THAT ISN'T ME. I DIDN'T... I can't... I.. I couldn't. "

THE ANNIVERSARY BALL

A CANON TIME CAPSULE AU FANFICTION

AU credit @mangotangerinepastry @the-amazing-digital-time-capsule

WARNING: alcohol, swearing, verbal harassment (the guests of the time capsule are terrible people), some suggestive dialogue

~~~

Caine adjusted the metals on his dress uniform and made sure his tie was straight. The floor length mirror reflected an image of foux military prestige. He was ready to host the grandest party the Time Capsule threw, The Anniversary Ball. At least, he looked ready, but in truth, he never was. The annual event was attended by the wealthiest of the wealthy clients the Capsule served. They constantly bragged to him how they could afford the tickets to the impossibly expensive party.

Caine sighed and smoothed his jacket. “Alright soldier, chin high. Back straight. Presentation is what matters. Don't let them intimate you. Don't let them get under your skin. Don't back down. Be all that you can be.” He stared hard at himself, putting himself into the mindset to face his worst enemy: socialits.

The longer he looked, the less he recognized the reflection staring back. The teeth around his mix matched eyes became pale skin. Light, well-kept hair sat atop his head. The visage of a handsome young man with tired eyes blinked with him. Caine lifted his hand to his face, half expecting to feel real flesh, when a holographic screen popped up next to him.

“Our guests will be arriving shortly.” BUBLE informed.

Glancing away from himself was all it took to break the haunting vision from the mirror. Caine checked his pocket watch, less than an hour. “Are all preparations complete?”

“Yes. The botanical gardens are prepared to welcome our guests. Are you? I do not wish to have a repeat of last year.”

“If I recall, I wasn't the problem in that situation. You had to eject the guest.” Caine held his hands behind his back, standing tall.

For the briefest of seconds, BUBLE’s screen glitched. “You recall incorrectly. It is your job to keep our guests happy. Any guest ejected is a failure on your part. A failure that will be corrected. Follow your directive, Ringmaster Caine, or there will be-”

“Consequences.” Caine struggled already not to roll his eyes. “Uh-huh, for a robot, you are awfully dramatic.”

~

The botanical gardens was a large outdoor venue laiden with a multitude of exotic plants from around the world. No matter what natural environment they were from, they grew believably in the false world within the capsule. The AI generated smell of the mixed flora was pleasant at the very least.

In the center of the gardens, a stone courtyard contained a small stage for performances. For this special occasion, white clothed round tables were added for the Anniversary dinner. An open bar was added to the side for Kinger to mix drinks. Lights were strung across the courtyard for ambiance and the capsule's day cycle was halted at twilight to preserve the rich post sunset lighting.

Caine met with Kinger and Zooble at the gardens first, as they were working with faceless NPCs to set up. He checked his watch again. Guests would be arriving in less than twenty minutes so his performers should be arriving any second. He took a deep breath of heavy floral air.

“You can do this, soldier. You're one of our best.” Kinger assured from his place behind the bar and served a shot of whiskey.

Caine took it without a word and downed it easily. He exhaled the bitter burn of the alcohol and tapped the bar with the glass. “One more. I'm going to need it.”

Kinger poured. “Don't get ahead of yourself. It's going to be a long night.”

“Don't I know it.” Caine catches a glimpse of the performers entering the gardens mid shot and chokes. Pomni was dressed to the nines in a way he'd never seen before.

Kinger shakes his head, wipes down his whiskey sprayed bar and tops of Caine's glass. His six hands make easy work. Kinger watched Caine stare wide eyed at Pomni walking in with Ragatha, Jax, and Gangle. He huffed a small laugh.

Caine hardly had the wherewithal to wipe the dribbled drink off his chin. Pomni was wearing a midnight blue dress with golden accents that made her outshine the beauty of the night sky itself. He had to hold on to the bar before her aura knocked him down. None were worthy to stand in her presence.

Pomni adjusted her evening gloves, they were holding much too tight to her upper arms and were going to annoy her all night. At least she got to wear low heel boots instead of heels, so her feet wouldn't be killing her by the end of the event. Small mercies. “So we have to socialize with all the guests?”

“Unfortunately.” Gangle answered flatly. “Eat, perform, mingle. BUBLE has never given us a set end time. The guests come and go as they please, but don't think any event has gone longer than…six hours?”

Pomni wanted to throw herself down the nearest sewer drain, but anything she had to say left her mind when she saw Caine. The vague military officer's uniform fit him very nicely. She went right to him.

Caine's breath caught in his throat. Oh lord, she was walking towards him. He slid the shot away from him and stood pretty. “Evening, Pomni.” He greeted her formally.

Caine's stiffer than usual demeanor surprised her. “Uh, evening, Caine. You look nice.” She nervously complimented him, noticing Kinger sliding away to give their conversation privacy.

Caine's neck felt hot, but he remained at attention. He was afraid if he let himself relax, he would fall apart right in front of her. “And you look…” Every synonym for beautiful he knew, even in other languages, flew through his head. “Presentable.” Was what came out of his mouth.

Pomni blinked. “Thanks..?”

Before Caine could correct himself, BUBLE’s screen appeared amongst them. “Attention cast members, our guests will arrive in one minute. Places.”

Pomni walked away, leaving Caine mentally kicking himself. He snatched the abandoned shot and downed it before taking his place at the entrance to the gardens to greet the guests.

Caine stood in the middle of the entrance, Pomni and Gangle stood to his right along the edge. Jax and Ragatha to his left. At the end of BUBLE’s countdown, a glowing red vertical line appeared mid air. It split and opened a wide digital doorway. Guests poured in by the dozens.

Caine steeled himself. Showtime. “Welcome to the Time Capsule Anniversary Ball!” He boldly announced.

~

The gardens filled with elegance that reeked with wealth. The white tie event brought out the most elaborate gowns and tailor made suits. The guests mingled lightly before dinner. Some went straight to the bar and Kinger was put to work, showing off his best tricks as he poured drinks.

Pomni could feel her stomach twisting more and more as the venue filled with some of the most pompous, old money rich types she's ever seen in her life. Even the porcelain masks they wore couldn't hide the entitlement.

The guests were seated for dinner and Caine took to the central circular stage. He held up a champagne glass and tapped in with a small fork to quiet the crowd. “Welcome, esteemed guests, to the most wonderful night of the year! Tonight, we celebrate the day the Capsule was sent back through time to start this wonderful show! You all have the exclusive privilege to dine, drink and dance with the cast of this world famous Time Capsule! Enjoy, my friends, and cheers to another year of time travel entertainment!” Caine raised his glass and the crowd toasted with him.

Pomni sat at the cast table with the others, painfully aware of wandering eyes from the guests. This felt way more invasive than just mingling. Snobby guests were going to be in her space all night. She's never wanted to be on stage and out of arm's reach more.

Cast meals were short compared to the guests' five course dinners, they needed to be on stage. Caine didn't eat at all. He wandered the courtyard to speak with guests that would flag him down. One guest asked him when the sexy bitch with the violin would be performing and Caine couldn't suppress an eye twitch. “She's the first act, actually. Enjoy.” Caine forced a smile and kept walking. Before mingling with the next guest, he took a shot of vodka.

Pomni played her heart out on stage, moving with the music as lights danced around her. It was truly a spectacle that had the guests actually cheering. Pomni played so hard, her violin bow smoked by the end. As much as she hated playing, it was a good way to get rid of nervous energy.

Caine was enthralled. He has to force himself to look away from the stage so as to not stare. That's not what was expected of him. Everyone else got to ogle Pomni all they wanted. He hoped if he kept moving he'd miss the comments made about her. He still caught a few. Everything was being judged, from her dress to her body and he wanted to shoot every last one of them. But the only shot he took was another vodka.

Pomni dabbed her brow with a napkin as Gangle took to the stage for her performance. Caine power walked to her with a glass of water but another guest still got to her before him. He internally cursed but kept his cool as he slowed his gait. It was the guest that asked about Pomni before. He needed to stay close.

The sleazy guest sidled up to Pomni. “Hey, beautiful. That was quite the performance. When the dance floor opens, you and I should be the first ones out there.”

Pomni saw Caine approaching and thought fast. “I'm afraid you're out of luck for the first dance.” She skirted around the guest and stood next to Caine. She took his arm. “I'm supposed to dance with the Ringmaster when the floor opens.”

“What?” Caine slipped out quietly.

“What?? That hasn't been a thing before!” The guest bristled.

“This is my first year.” Pomni rationalized. “And events change. Surely you understand.”

“The only thing I understand is that you're making excuses, slut.” The guest balled his fists.

The glass in Caine's hand shattered loudly. Bits of glass cut his hand, but he didn't flinch as blood dripped from his fingertips. “She's right, I'm afraid.” Caine slid his arm out of Pomni's hold and pulled her close to him by her waist. “Sorry, Ringmaster privilege. You'll have your chance after.” He walked away with Pomni to the bar, ignoring the warning pulls from BUBLE.

Pomni jumped when Caine grabbed her. She'd blush if she wasn't so confused and a bit disgusted by Caine's behavior. Stale alcohol wafted off of his breath. “What are you doing?” She hissed under her breath.

“Getting a napkin for my hand. When Jax and Ragatha are done, the band will take to the stage and the dance floor will be available. Wouldn't want to disappoint the guests by making me hunt you down.” He smirked.

Pomni's eyes narrowed with anger. “What is with you? I just wanted that a-hole to leave me alone. You seriously want to go through with the dance?”

“It's him or me, doll.” Caine nodded to a guest at the bar next to him as he wiped his hand clean. He stole a shot of tequila from another guest that wasn't looking. “And I think we both know the answer.” He gave her a cocky grin, but his eyes watched the guests watching him.

Pomni's heart hurt. He was just like them. Arrogant. Entitled to her space and time. She had no alternative. It was bad either way. She sadly leaned against the bar. “Fine.”

Jax and Ragatha did a wonderfully unique performance of break dancing and roller skate tricks. It got relatively good reception from the guests. Now, it was time for everyone's favorite part of the night. The NPC band took to the stage and the open area around it was lit to invite people to dance.

Caine straightened his jacket and held his hand out to Pomni. “Let's give them the show they've been waiting for.”

Pomni swallowed what she could of her pride and took Caine's hand. She let him lead her out onto the empty dance floor and did her best to look sophisticated. She stiffened as Caine out his hands on her. She thought she would looked forward to this, but instead she wanted him to get away from her.

Caine swayed a bit heavily for the waltz but kept in time with the music from muscle memory. A minute into the song, more couples joined and he could lose himself in her a little. He could drop his mask behind the curtain of dancing guests. With his nerves numbed by the multitude of drinks, he could finally say what he meant earlier. “You are the most gorgeous woman in any timeline.”

Pomni’s heart swooned but she kept a straight face. “You don't have to tell me that. The guests can't hear you.” Her voice dripped with venom.

“I know. That's why I said it.” He cleared his throat, lowering his voice. “Let me try again. These jagoffs are the worst humanity has to offer and I hate dealing with them, but the only way to is be…like them. Blend in. Especially as Ringmaster. I'm sorry I didn't properly warn you, but there really isn't anything that will prepare you for this.”

Pomni’s expression softened. That sounded much more like the Caine she knew. “Heh, jagoffs. That's a funny word.”

“I'm a funny man.” Caine winked. “Now, allow me to correct myself from earlier. You are far more than presentable. You are the star of the show. The bee's knees. The ragtime gal no one can hold down.” His dancing became more energetic as the band played music throughout history, blending from classical to early 1900’s jazz and swing.

Pomni snorted, trying to hold in her laughter. Her body moved on it's own, the AI installed dance moves being completely foreign to her, but she kept up with Caine going ham on the dancefloor.

The guests were just as into the music but Caine and Pomni had the most amount of space, drawing attention to themselves with their performance. They swung each other around and moved in sync like the choreography was planned.

Caine’s officer sword was annoyingly in the way as the dances became more lively and complex. He slid off his belt in one motion and tossed it to Zooble. “Hold that for me, would ya?”

Zooble had been doing their best to be unnoticed all night. Their appearance made dealing with guests even more of a hassle. They caught Caine's ceremonial sword with one hand. “Like I have a choice?”

Caine lifted Pomni in the air and twirled her around, the trail of her dress flowing in the wind. By now, they had the whole room's attention, but Pomni allowed herself to be taken by the music and Caine. The world around them was blurred. It was just the two of them, as the music progressed through the decades. They were allowed to dance closer, hold each other in ways that they normally couldn't in front of the guests. They're heavy breaths were hot on each other’s necks.

Kinger wiped a glass as he watched the performance. “I knew you had it in you.” He said to himself. He almost missed the woman looking at him, but slid over to her and put on his best customer service voice. “What can I get ya?”

“You.” She slurred heavily.

Kinger furrowed with confusion. “Pardon?”

“You. You tall, handsome silly.” She laughed way too loud. “When are YOU gonna dance?”

“Sorry miss, I'm not a performer, but I'd be happy to serve you a drink. Water, perhaps?”

“Aw, come on. I need to get some wood tonight and you look like you have plenty to spare.” She almost face planted on the bar trying to give him her best unfocused bedroom eyes.

Kinger blinked. He didn't get the innuendo but he could tell she was coming on to him. He poured her a glass of water. “My sincerest apologies, but I'm needed here. Please, take this. On the house.”

“Ugh, you're no fun.” She took her water and staggered away.

Kinger sighed. The night wouldn't last forever, but it sure felt like it.

Ragatha smiled dreamily watching Pomni and Caine tearing up the dancefloor. Jax leaned against the bar next to her, lazily glancing at her. “You wish that was you, huh?”

Ragatha snapped out of her daydream and fiddled with her hands. “Maybe.”

Jax pushes up his shades. His tease didn't work the way he hoped. “Well, then…we’ll have to steal the next show then won't we?”

Ragatha gasped and grabbed his jacket. “Oh, Jax! Really!?”

Jax tried to be annoyed but her excitement was actually adorable. “Sure, why not?”

“Yay!!” Ragatha cheered, jumping up and down.

The music through the decades came to an end with Caine holding Pomni to his chest, her arms over his shoulders, her forehead to his top teeth. Both panting from the intense dancing. The crowd erupted with cheers and whistles. Pomni and Caine smiled more than they had all night, gazing into each other's eyes. They stayed close for as long as they dared before having to separate to take a bow.

As Caine and Pomni went for water, Ragatha and Jax rushed the dance floor. “You were great out there!” Ragatha congratulated as she went by Pomni.

Caine hated having to wear his Ringmaster mask again. While Kinger was busy with other guests, Caine helped himself to a bottle from behind the bar and poured his tallest drink of the night. At least it was clear so he could convince himself it was just spicy water.

Pomni got some actual water, but Caine still drank faster than her. “How in the-”

Caine groaned after finishing his chug of lighter fluid liquor. “Too much practice, I'm afraid. I'm having fun Pomni, I want to stop caring about appearances.”

“But, BUBLE-”

“BUBLE can get stuffed.” Caine couldn't feel the tugs on his fingers anymore. “Let's say you and I take a walk.” The guests around them were all either watching Jax and Ragatha or too intoxicated to focus on anything.

Pomni gripped Caine’s forearm. “Take me away.” Her voice low and inviting.

Caine’s stomach danced with butterflies. Though, that could have been the alcohol hitting him hard. He offered her his arm and walked with her as dignified as he could manage in his woozy state, and they snuck away down one of the dimly lit paths going into the exotic garden.

The path was surrounded by tall plants that muffle the sounds of the celebration in the courtyard, it was calming. They could both breathe a bit easier. They went around corners carefully, finding more than a few guests that had beaten them to the quiet area with a friend or two. Deeper into the garden, they finally find solitude.

“That was a wonderful dance, Caine. How did we even do all that?”

“It's part of the performer programming. The avatars know what to do. You just go along for the ride. Which has made this the best night I've ever had in the capsule.” Caine stopped walking and held Pomni's hands. “I got to dance with the most stunning woman at the ball. I got to touch her…hold her.”

Pomni's heart raced. “Maybe you should do that more often.” She moved his hands to her waist so he could hold her like they were dancing again. Her hands slid up his chest as she closed the gap between them.

Chills went up Caine's spine. His long fingers gripped lightly as he held her close. “I'd like to, but she's trouble.”

Pomni raised a brow. “Oh?”

Caine starts to laugh, a dark blush creeping up his neck. “Mhm, she's- she's the reason- I have to-” His drunken giggle fit keeps him from finishing his sentence.

“I- what?” Pomni laughed with him.

“Nevermind, I’ve forgotten what I was going to say. Probably something stupid. Let me try a different line.”

“Hit me with your best shot.” She played with the medals on his chest.

Caine had to loosen his tie, he was feeling way too hot for the uniform. “Then you better brace yourself, because I'm quite the rifleman.” His eyes smoldered. “I ne'er on your form for a moment have gazed, but a thousand temptations beset me.” His hands squeezed the supple flesh of her hips.

Pomni's cheeks flushed, her breath caught. “Oh my…”

“Your coral lips were made to kiss.” Caine's eyes drifted to her gasping lips. Long had he wondered what they would feel like against him. “Would you like to practice on mine?”

Pomni couldn't help herself and muffled a giggle. “I would say yes, but…”

Oh. Right. She was laughing, so he switched gears to goofy. “All right, you wanna play hardball? Try this one! I'm a ragtime millionaire, soul owner and agent of Up-To-Date Canoodling. Hand Holding is a specialty.” He takes one of her hands and spins around with her like he was trying to dance again but he was much less coordinated without music.

He tripped over the trail of her dress and fell into the bush next to the path, taking Pomni with him. Pomni fell back first into the mulch between the plants. Caine went into the bush itself and rolled over on top of her. He braced himself up by his hands and took a moment to focus, the whole world was starting to spin in the wrong direction for him.

Pomni froze, bracing her hands on Caine's shoulders to keep him from collapsing on top of her. He blinked the haze away and made eye contact with her. Pomni wetted her lips nervously as neither of them moved. “Are we-...are you…going to get up?” She asked with no real urgency.

“Do you really want me to?” Caine's voice dropped an octave, his eyes half lidded with unmasked desire.

Pomni hooked her fingers in his tie and gently pulled him down. “No.”

Caine lowered himself onto his elbows and closed his eyes to press his teeth to her. He was close enough to feel the very warmth of her inviting lips.

“CAINE! HEY!! CAINE!? YOU OUT HERE!?”

Caine shot up so fast, his hat went flying. He quickly got out of the bushes and helped Pomni back up. Gangle came around the corner as they were wiping off mulch and picking leaves out of hair.

“Gangle! What are you doing back here?” Caine asked harshly as he fixed his uniform.

Gangle raised a brow. “I could ask you two the same thing. Did you forget about doing your closing speech or something? We're waiting for you to thank the guests so they'll leave.”

“Right. Right. Please excuse me.” Caine left quickly.

Pomni picked up the uniform hat Caine left behind. She brushed it off and tried to walk past Gangle but a ribbon stopped her. She gulped.

“What were you doing in the bushes?” Gangle gave Pomni a suggestive look.

Pomni refused to look Gangle in the eye. “Nothing.”

“You really expect me to believe that?”

“Yes. Because that's the only answer you're getting.” Pomni pushed onward back to the party.

“He was buttering your biscuit, wasn't he?” Gangle grinned, enjoying Pomni's embarrassment a bit too much.

Pomni scoffed. “Maybe he would've if we hadn't been interrupted.”

“Sorry, but everyone is getting restless and he has to do the speeches. A Ringmaster’s job is never finished. You can bag him after the guests leave. I'm hanging out with Zooble tonight, so the room is all yours.”

Pomni dragged her hand down her face. “Sure. Thanks.”

~

It took another hour, but all the guests finally left. The courtyard was a wreck. For such a formal event, the guests were still sloppy as pigs. NPCs wandered about with brooms and rags. Zooble thankfully didn't have to touch any of it. Everyone tiredly went back to their dressing rooms.

Pomni and Caine stood in front of her door. “You're…welcome to come inside.”

Caine's heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to, but he considered himself a gentleman and he pushed his moral code far enough tonight. Plus, the alcohol was leaving his system and he was starting to not feeling well. “My dear, tonight has been wonderful, but I'm afraid I must leave you here.” He took her hand and kissed the back of it. “I'm sorry.”

Disappointed, Pomni took her hand back slowly, their hands staying connected to the last possible moment. “I understand, but…just one thing.” She stood on her tip toes and kissed the side of his lower jaw. Quickly, she turned into her room and shut the door.

Caine felt where she kissed him. It may not have been exactly where he wanted it, but it was as wonderful as he imagined. Her lips were so soft against the hard false enamel of his strange teeth. It was so fast yet so sweet. He stood staring at her door for a long while, at war with himself over going inside. Gangle said she wouldn't be back this evening.

Against his greater desire, he walked away. Caine went off in a daze to the piano in the back of the main stage. He took off his dress jacket and flopped face first into the piano bench. Sleep was calling to him, but so was BUBLE.

“Caine. Your evaluation has been submitted.”

Caine didn't respond.

“Guest approval for the night was overall above satisfactory. One event in particular boosted morale significantly. Your unexpected dual performance with our violinist. This must be repeated.”

Caine started snoring.

“I know you're still awake.”

Caine lifted his head. “Dance with Pomni more. Got it. Buzz off.” He plopped his head back down.

~

The next day was business as usual. Pomni found Caine before the first performances. “Hey.” She smiled softly.

Caine smiled back. “Good morning, Pomni.”

“So, about last night-”

“I had quite a bit to drink and I hardly remember any of it. It's really the only way I can get through the anniversary ball. If I said something or touched you in a way that was inappropriate, I sincerely apologize.”

“Oh, you don't need to worry about that. You touched me just fine.”

Caine gaped. “I what?”

“I mean- it wasn't anything- we didn't- you know what, nevermind. Have a good day, Caine.” Pomni rushed off, bright red.

Caine sighed as he watched her walk away. Truth is, he didn't have anywhere near enough to get him blackout drunk. He remembered every look, touch, and dance. He remembered every word, every feeling. But this was for the best.

Things would only get harder to hide from BUBLE, they would run out of excuses and warnings. The AI would do something to Pomni and he couldn't let that happen. No matter how much his heart longs for her, it was best for him to keep his distance. The liquor made him reckless last night. If they had been caught by a guest, who knows what kind of punishment BUBLE would have made him do.

He's required to dance with her at events now, that's enough for him…most days. The very thought of her gets him through the rest.

PLEASE SHOW THE TADC OC OMG???

What’s their name? What do they look like? What are their relationships with the tadc cast? What did they do before getting stuck in the digital circus?

-some beings that adore hearing about ocs (sorry if this is too many questions and overwhelming..)

( @koifishsys / @fish-b0ne )

Rubs my grubby little hands together.

THEIR NAME IS NIZZY!!! They/Them!!

(the lineless one is from 2023,)

Its not shown in the pictures, but their body is made out of the same material as pill capsules are made out of and the blue stuff is like liquid melatonin! So they're like... a human melatonin pill..

They were originally a way for us to selfship with Jax, but we fleshed them out a bit more then that !! They are still shipped with Jax a bit though, almost purely because their shipname is Jazzy and I will not and will never get over that.

Theyre in their early/mid 20s, used to be a librarian! They enjoyed that job, but got fired for unknown reasons... As for personality, y'know when you're playing a horror game like doors or something, and there's just that one person who gets distracted by. everything. and ends up staying at door 4 when the rest of the group is at door 48? that's them.

Caine sometimes has to manually assign someone to keep an eye on them in adventures because they WILL wander off and they WILL flirt with the antagonist for the fun of it (/hj on that last part) and whaddya know the entire episodes done and Nizzy was asleep for 25 out of 30 minutes of it.

Speaking of, they are SOOOO sleepy. the eeper if you will. If you cant find them check their room (which looks like a gigantic pillow fort btw) they're probably asleep. "Huh what" is basically second nature.

As for relationships, Jax and them kinda just bully each other until one of them stops for whatever reason. He's 3rd on the list of "people to make give Nizzy to to make sure they don't wander off" so they see each other a lot. Nizzy kind of reminds Jax of Ribbit, so hanging out with them is kind of an unhealthy rebound to him.

Ragatha and Nizzy are... acquaintances. Ragatha is also on that list of caregivers, but at 1st place, so she's arguably the person they know the best. Nizzy's parents weren't the greatest either, so they bonded over that. But other then that they don't have a lot in common? They're the two kids that know eachother in class well enough to be on the same group project and hold convos with, but "dont know eachother" outside of the classes they're in.

Gangle and Zooble are Nizzy's BEST friends, they're THE trio of all time. They draw and play video games together. Nizzy and Gangle are known for begging Caine to summon plushies for them. Zooble draws stuff on Nizzy's arm occasionally.

Nizzy loves hanging out with Kinger. His pillow fort is part of the top 5 places you can find them. Kinger was the first one to actually make them feel "safe" (as safe as they could feel) in the circus and Nizzy is eternally grateful for that. They have a Father-Child kind of relationship.

Nizzy and Caine got digital coffee once together, bubble proceeded to bite Nizzy's arm off. Nizzy and Caine are neutral on eachother.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME YAP... follow up questions can be asked btw they're my baby... and I love them...

[the-amazing-digital-time-capsule]

Not a what if question, maybe

what FAMOUS events did the cast WITNESS???

also idk if i have the confidence to post online

Honestly, as I look at it, their lives were kind of boring, but some of them did see historical events, especially Ragatha.

Ragatha participated in the 1961 Women's Strike for Peace, 1963 March on Washington, and the 1967 March on the pentagon. Pomni saw the Challenger explosion on live TV. Of course both Kinger and Caine fought in WWI and saw its many atrocities. Caine even survived a gas attack by the Germans. Kinger also lived through the great depression.

Those are the notable events.

[the-amazing-digital-time-capsule]

Hypothetically, what if Bubble accidentally used a translator and the cast spoke in all of their hometown language and accent? How would they react? Also sorry if my message about boxes was unclear 😓

Actually BUBLE wouldn't have to translate anything. The cast still has the same voices and speech patterns that they had coming into the capsule, since they were adults and already had their accents cemented into their vocal patterns.

But! I will give more details on their accents.

Jax: has a light Boston accent, sometimes he really exaggerates it when talking to Ragatha. Especially when she's sad as it makes her giggle and smile.

Pomni: has a New York accent that only comes out unconsciously when talking to other New Yorkers.

Ragatha: very light Mississippi accent (she was born there but moved away when young)

Kinger: very light mid-atlantic sounding accent from being stationed in Britain during the WWI.

Zooble: stereotypical American accent but due to being fluent in German they can easily do a German accent.

Caine: HEAVY Pittsburgh accent, like when he first entered the Capsule people had a very hard time understanding him.

Gangle: mexican accent but because of her mother she can do a really good Japanese accent.

[the-amazing-digital-time-capsule]

do you have any fun facts / lore drops about any characters? im HUNGRY for tadtc content 💔

Oh I've waited for so long for someone to ask this!

Fun facts and lore Drops! (You decide which is which ALL are canon!)

Abstractions can fall in love, there is an official abstraction couple

Caine, before becoming leader (pre 1957), would fill in for performers who couldn't preform for any reason... and I mean ANY kind of performance... he was very confident back then

The Capsule was made not by CnA, but a two person company

BUBLE is part of the capsules original coding and was NOT apart of Create and Advance's (CnA) additions. CnA did not change BUBLE's original objective; however, they did bury it under hundreds of layers of code, but his directive is still there... just hidden.

The canon order of the past 5 capsule themes are theater, restaurant, cruise liner, casino, and circus with the leaders being The Director, The Hostess, The Captain, The Owner (Ace), and The Ringmaster (Caine)

Zoobles Stomach is a radar system that BUBLE uses to track all the members.

If all the cast abstracted the animals their abstractions would be part...

Jax: spider crab

Gangle: spider tailed horned viper

Zoozle: elephant

Ragatha: [redacted]

Kinger: Emperor Scorpion

Caine: German Shepard

Pomni: a Canary

Caine stopped eating in the Capsule until pomni came, she would sit by him and basically make him eat.

Jax was getting a degree in industrial engineering and was in the robotics club in college

The cycle is never ending, one end is another beginning... THERE IS NO ESCAPE.

[the-amazing-digital-time-capsule]

How would they react if, I don't know, show them Gen Alpha and Beta brainrot and slang, including we didn't start the fire, both includes remix of oh one by billy joel, and hirrors of 21 century?

*mystery screen appears containing 2025 brain rot (just all the worst things)*

Pomni: *cringes in confusion* "This is what kids find entertaining nowadays? I remember watching Seaseme Street, Tranformers, My Little Pony for heavens sake! Where did the good media go?"

Jax: *Joins in the on the brain rot, using it around the Capsule and even making more (despite not being part of that era)* "This is the greatest shit I've ever seen. Ahhh man kids these days might be the most annoying little #!@$%&/, wish I was one."

Kinger: *squints at the screen and leans backward.* "I dont even know what I'm looking at..."

(His brain has been tempered by all the crap he's been through, it's impenetrable)

Zooble: *looks for two seconds, closes the screen, and walks away* " Sorry, I need to go clean out my cassette player."

Ragatha: *Is keeping the most traumatized looking smile on her face while her left eye twitches.* "well...*gulp* if this is what kids like these days... I guess I'll have to... get to know it."

(She's not sleeping that night... or the next)

Gangle: "Caine! What the heck is this? I think some of the discarded, trash ideas from the Capsule made there way back up.."

Caine: *watches, his expression unchanging, turns drastically to the camera*

"In my 98 years of being here, never have I ever given up all desire to go back to the real world until now." *abstracts*

Sorry I haven't been super active, life has been busy and I haven't been in a good headspace to draw time capsule. I have a few more asks I want to answer but those I would like to draw things for. This one however, I don't think my art could accurately depicte the sheer horror on their faces, so use your imagination. Also this ask is entirely non canon, there is no world where anything from the 2025 could end up in the Capsule.

[the-amazing-digital-time-capsule]

Just some Ragatha

[the-amazing-digital-time-capsule]

I know you might’ve already answered this type of question but.. how does abstraction work in this universe? is it like the normal universe, where they go into a cellar or something else?

Actually this is a great question as I've tweaked abstractions a bit since I last touched on it, and there's a lot of lore to it.

Abstraction is like a virus that everyone in the time capsule already has. However, it only gets unleased when a person gets so unstable their mind can no longer fight it off OR when touched or injured by an abstraction.

Unlike Abstraction in the show, here abstraction can be reversed up to the very point in which its complete. However, this has really only happened canonically to one person. Caine is always at the peak of abstracting but constantly fights it off (with help).

This fic by @thescarletnargacuga is an excellent example of Caines abstracting tendencies

LAST RESORT

When someone abstracts the capsules current leader, Caine, gets notified through BUBLE. Its Caines job to use BUBLE's red strings to pull the abstraction into "no mans land", an area on the outskirts of the capsule. This is a dark lifeless place, covered in a dark knee deep liquid. It's explored a bit in this fic (link below) by @thescarletnargacuga

No Man's Land

The abstractions themselves are always bug like, for example this is what a basic abstraction would look like.

However, each persons abstraction is also based on an animal. There is only one exception to this, and it is one very unique case of abstraction.

Abstraction can be fast or slow depending on how 'broken' the individual is, and they can feel it coming. Many just don't know how to stop it and succumb.

In "no Mans Land' the abstractions can talk to each other, they just can't understand human speech, their anger and confusion blurs their judgement. BUT they can be happy with each other, even love each other.

Though most stay in "No Mans Land", some crawl through the data sewers and make their way to the capsule attacking the members.

If you got any more questions just ask!

Roleplay Asks?

I'm not a roleplay account! I just tell the story, so please don't send roleplay related asks. Basically just don't ask characters things directly, they will not respond. If you do send an ask that addresses a character I might ( under the right circumstances) still answer it but the character will not. I love interacting with you guys and answering questions but I do not feel comfortable doing roleplay or pretending to be a character. I simply act as a narrator.

Outside Content

Asks and Fanart, if anyone wants to, are welcome! So are fanfics and comic dubing. Please Tag Me if you make art (I want to see it)! Unless it's NSFW, I really would not like anyone making NSFW content with my au, but if you still feel inclined to make it, just don't tag me. I don't want to see NSFW.

The only Canonical ship is showtime, take with that what you will.
