I Caine't Do This Anymore (Caine x Reader)

You were walking through an abandoned building.

Everything was broken and covered in dust and webs.

However, there was one little computer that looked somewhat intact.

...

A loud knock snapped you out of your Rem sleep. "Heya, it's me, the purple guy! Today's my turn to annoy the living *honk* out of you. So you better get outta there soon or I'll drag you into the main hall myself." Jax then proceeded to get bored ouf of his mind and leave immediately.

You were debating whether to get out of bed or stay for another whole "day". You groaned, remembering all of this is still happening.

Can you even die in this world?

The thought cuts through your mind like a blade and your eyes immediately dart the digital knife on your digital table in this digital room. You jumped out of bed, which didn't make you dizzy to your surprise, and walked over to the wooden textured piece of furniture. The knife looked like it came straight out of an old pc game, making you wonder how old this world even is.

The object didn't weigh anything in your hands as you put it to your throat. Poof! It suddenly disappeared, startling you. "Oh no, no, sugar! It would be terrible if you did that!" You jumped at the loud voice coming out of the blue. "Caine... W-why? Good gosh, you scared me to death-" "I'm so sorry Y/N! I'm so super duper sorry! I didn't mean to startle you my dear, but I couldn't bare to see you throw away your digital life like that!" You blinked at him with raised eyebrows, signaling that your mind didn't catch up with what he just said. "Oh- uhmmmmm... Well, let me make it up to you by giving you a tour? Eh? Eh?" He finger-gunned at you, sounding like a father in his mid forties trying to be cool.

"I guess you could slowly introduce-" "Splendid! Now, take my hand!" You eyed his stretched out gloved hand for a moment, considering whether to trust this low-key manic or not.

"Can you tell me where you lead me so I can mentally prepare? Maybe a place where the others aren't at?" You muttered, staring at your feet. "Of course, Y/N! How about I showcase everything your room has to offer for starters?" You nodded and he took his sweet time over exaggerating how awesome your own four walls are. The chair had a tragic backstory and your bed is considered to have separation anxiety. Caine also gave them all names, but you only remembered him calling the door Bob for some reason.

"Now my dear, shall I introduce one character at a time?" You covered your mouth with the back of your palm, so the ringmaster couldn't see your very obvious smile. He was just... Too sweet.

Caine told you to 'hold your horses' as he was teleporting himself back to the crew, who were currently making a giant jigsaw puzzle. The floating AI really took Pomni's request, to not traumatize newcomers too much, to heart.

...

"So we just stay here aaaaaand...?" The bunny questioned, while secretly tying Gangle's ribbons together when no one's looking. The being made of ribbons didn't even notice, as they were too busy thinking how to not make a bad second impression. "Just be nice Gangle, they can't hate you anymore than- JAX, WHAT THE *SQUEAK*?!" Zooble, the being made out of colorful shapes and sizes, finally saw what the purple scum did, choking him violently in response. Meanwhile, Caine was way too busy trying to think of a way to distract Bubble long enough, so they won't blow everything up.

"Uhm, h-hey guys. It's me, Y/N." You felt ready for a proper introduction. And Pomni felt ready for a proper season of therapy.
