meadowlark CRAU history.
Cain arrives in Meadowlark, or the city called New Amsterdam, in August (IC December). He's dropped off, drugged and disoriented at a rave. There, he meets a number of people, has some regretful sex with a stranger, and then is knocked out/hauled to the safehouse for newcomers by Jason Todd. Cain spends a few weeks in the safehouse adjusting to the new world he's now in. He's quick to try and get out, however, and talks Giovanni Rammsteiner into renting an apartment with him.
In September (IC January-March), Cain attends the Lantern Festival. There he meets Hei, and they end up running from the cops. Cain has a moment of panic due to the memory of being arrested by the military in his past, and Hei talks him down (in his own way...). After the festival, the UNA (an elite team of brainwashed soldiers) attack Morningstar (the rebel group) and, by extension, become entangled with the PCs who were brought into New Amsterdam. The fight leads to utter chaos. Cain goes on a mission with Markus, Fitz, and Peggy, where he uses his new powers to kill one of the UNA soldiers with Fitz's help. The group barely make it out alive, but it's a bonding experience, something Cain isn't used to as he's much more accustomed to only looking out for himself. Cain also participates in several other, smaller rescue missions of citizens during this event's attack.
During the later anime convention, Cain picks up Deimos, who has just freshly arrived in the city, and escorts him to the safehouse. He also meets Alex and has some fun jumping trains with Deimos, Heine, and Prompto. He later attends a rooftop party hosted by Loki's household, where he has a fight with Jason for being too overprotective. He also lets Deimos come and live with him, introducing Deimos to Giovanni.
In October (IC March-April), Cain goes to Oktoberfest and meets a bunch of the newest recruits who have been brought into New Amsterdam. It isn't long after this that the city is struck by a strange phenomenon: characters are pulled into each other's bizarre dreamscapes. Cain participates in several dreams. He helps Alex escape her endless nightmare and brings her to his own dreamscape, where they bond over siblings and practice shooting rifles; he pilots Voltron as the Red Lion; he follows Fitz across alien landscapes until they're forced to escape imprisonment by Russian soldiers; he encounters Peggy in a warzone and brings her onto the Sleipnir, where they kill some Colterons together; he fights again with Jason in his own dreamscape, though it's with a resolution; and he also accompanies Prompto on a mission to get close to the NPC, Hideki Maeda, who is the son of an important corporate figure.
There is one area characters have access to during this event, named the Facility, which holds a number of mysterious features. One of these is a spear embedded in the ground. Cain, Fitz, and Markus take it upon themselves to try and move it. This leads to dire consequences. As soon as all three use their powers on the spear, Fitz and Markus are instantly murdered, and Cain simply vanishes. Riku, Sora, and Peggy are forced to work together to try and bring them back from where their minds and bodies have gone. Both Fitz and Markus have a traumatic experience; Cain, on the other hand, is wholly peaceful where he has been taken. It's with great reluctance - and plenty of guilt for the fate of his friends - that Peggy convinces him to return. After this event, Cain discovers that he has a new ability allowing him to manipulate plantlife/nature.
Everyone wakes up from the dreamscapes on a train to New Tokyo. Time has rewound a few days, to their confusion. They discover they're on a mission to aid New Tokyo in recovery from a severe weather disaster. While there, Cain goes on missions to help the citizens of New Tokyo and talks with several of the PCs who he encountered in the dreams. This is also when Abel appears. The two endure an emotional reunion, and it takes some time for them to get on the same page. When they do, they become fairly inseparable, and eventually return to New Amsterdam to live together. They are officially dating at this point.
In late October (IC May), Jason is stabbed while with Cain at the underground fighting ring, and Cain is forced to haul him to safety. It's a harrowing experience because of how close he is to Jason now. At a later point, he visits Fitz and the two discuss what happened in the dreamscapes, as well as Cain's discovery of his strange new power. He shares his real name, since Fitz has become something like a brother to him. He also celebrates his birthday jointly with Prompto at the end of the month. Their party is thrown by Hideki Maeda, who after the dreamscapes has somewhat attached himself to the pair and declared them good friends. It's an expensive party at an elite, downtown club, and Cain has fun socializing/getting drunk even as he endures the burden of pretending to be Hideki's buddy. He receives several birthday gifts from close friends as well. Not too long after this, Cain vanishes from New Amsterdam, leaving Abel behind.
