#the Amazing digital circus au

[charseraph]

C&A is a neobotanics and nooscionics lab. In other words, they grow and train sophont AIs, “seedlets,” and design software and hardware to interface organic minds with digital systems.

It’s a small enough company to draw little suspicion, but credible enough to be contracted by big name operations (mainly military).

They accidentally trapped a person in a noospace, the “noosciocircus,” with Caine, a seedlet grown and owned by C&A. He’s a well meaning seedlet, tasked to keep the trapped person sane as C&A keeps their body alive as long as possible.

In an effort to recover the person from the inside, they sent in another only to trap them as well. Their cumulating mistake becomes harder to pull the plug on as it would kill both the trapped and Caine, an expensive investment who just also happens to be relaying immensely valuable nootic data from his ongoing simulation.

C&A continues to send agents to assist the trapped from within, each with relevant skills. They’re getting a bit desperate, since the pool of candidates is limited to those who work with C&A and would not draw too much attention if gone missing.

So, the noosciocircus becomes testing ground for lesser semiohazards.

Semiohazards are stimuli that trigger a destructive response in the minds of perceivers. Semiohazards can be encoded into any medium, but are generally easiest to encode into sights and air pressure sequences. The effect, “a mulekick,” can range in severity from temporarily disabled breathing, to seizure, to brain death.

Extreme amputations (“truncations”) occur when a trapped agent ingests a semiohazard that shuts off the brain’s recognition of some body part as its own. Sieving is a last resort to permanently mechanically support the life of the trapped. Thanks to modern advancements, this is cheap and sustainable. Those overexposed to the hazards become the abstracted and are considered lost. Their bodies are kept alive for archival.

Semiohazards being a current hotspot of discovery and design means C&A is sending in semiotic specialists alongside programmers. Ragatha was sent in to provide the trapped with nootic endurance training, but she underestimated the condition of the trapped. Gangle, too, was sent to help the trapped navigate their new nootic state, but her own dealt avatar clotheslined her progress. She wasn’t too stable entering to begin with, but C&A’s options are limited.

I AM NOT DEAD GUYS. JUST REALLY REALLY BUSY.

I will try my best to post more, but I am working on something really big for this au. Be excited and stay amazing

[tadc-pamela-au]

And here we have the Episode 4 rewrite! Out at lot faster than last time, wouldn’t you say?

Pamela’s idea to take advantage of the adventure suggestions doesn’t go as planned. But this grants her more experience for her future than she thought the real world would ever give, as well as bringing her closer to the player she had already grown so close to.

Moreee refs for my The Fantastical Circus au

[serendippertyy]

i feel like I accidentally made a good dynamic btwn them with elf pomni being sensitive to the cold and jax frost being THE cold so...... funnybunny shenanigans be upon u...

[teacupfullofroses27]

I feel like I’ve been starving ya’ll so it’s prime time for a doodle dump!

Here’s my idea for Martha’s costume design. I know the top isn’t super accurate but I don’t care because I like drawing frills

I didn’t finish the last one, but here’s a random selection of cursed images with the tadc cast drawn over them. I didn’t really like them and meant to redraw them, but never got around to it.

I drew this quite a while ago, but here’s sketches of the cast in my style. I went into this thinking I was going to redesign them, but I honestly love their og designs a lot. So I didn’t, lol

I’m in love with @endomentendo’s wonderland au and wanted to do a screencap redraw from the animated movie. I might do more!

I wanted to come up with more concept sketches and drawings of how my character would interact with the cast, but I never did. Very cringe, I know, but this is my self insert tadc oc. I really like the idea of a teapot/porcelain sculpture character, and I thought it might work here.

Anyway! I hope to make more art soon and I’m super excited for the next episode :>
