[OPEN] 'Til Morning Comes

Who: Security
When: September
Where: Most of these prompts could be anywhere on the ship
Summary: Flower shenanigans
Warnings: Flower influence, amnesia/memory loss

1. Go alone, my flower [Ivy, touch starvation]
Ivy is dangerous. Okay, all the plants popping up are dangerous, but after Security tangles with a patch of ivy in one of the stairwells, it realizes there's something really wrong here.

It tries to deal with the want-need-skinfeeling-badthing at first with its weighted blanket, but when that proves not to be enough, it will seek out familiar faces (and given its drones, almost all faces are familiar) and just...exist in people's vicinity with a look not wholly unlike puppy-dog eyes, even though it's not sure what it's begging for. Just. Make the bad go away, please?


2. And keep my whole lovely you [Forget-Me-Not, amnesia]
Amnesia's a bitch, when so much of your identity is something that's been constructed in the past year and change. When under the influence of the pale blue forget-me-nots, well...

Security forgets that it's managed to disable its own governor module.

Which is a huge problem, because it feels errors popping up, and yet there's other data in its error storage--media files??? Why would those be tucked away there? It can't comprehend. But. But. It knows it's a SecUnit, and it must be leased out on this vessel to protect the people aboard on their journey. Or something.

So find it in public spaces, standing against a wall at attention, face blank, like a proper SecUnit on duty, not addressing anyone, only reacting if there's a problem that needs fixing. It may not have its armor (that's in the cabin it can't remember), and it may not have its orders, but it does know how to behave, in theory.


3. Wild green stones, alone, my lover [Dandelion, flight]
Not all experiences this month are bad ones. Perhaps you're out on the sports deck or by the hot tub, when you look up and see Security floating on the ocean breeze. It has some spare dandelions in the pouch pocket of its hoodie for anyone who wants to join in the fun. Whee!


4. And keep us on my heart [Wildcard]
There are tons more flowers I'm open to playing with, but those will be more one-offs. Reach out to me at darkersolstice on plurk or discord to request a custom starter.

"Okay..." Klaus isn't sure that they need to turn around, but like they are still turning around and getting close enough to make it easy to hug them. That's the right thing to do, right?

"I mean...sure, but I've never seen you look so sad, so I thought someone hurt your feelings and maybe I needed to fight them about it." A beat. "My telekinesis is pretty strong now. I could have done it."

There's a slight shrug at the words. "Ehhh. You shouldn't have had to save me from nearly getting knifed last October, so you know..." They stay pretty close, hands awkwardly patting Security's just for something to do. At least it seems to feel more relaxed at this point.

"It's what friends do or something."

Klaus is still, trying not to move too much and flushing quite a lot. Suddenly they're glad that it can't see their face. "Ohh...y-yeah, buddy. I'm happy to be your friend, too." It's such a weird thing to hear even if it's not the first time someone's said it. Somehow it still hits in a way that surprises them.

This is new and Klaus stills briefly. “That’s…um. Not to be weird, but you’ve never done that before. You’re feeling okay, yeah? This isn’t weird for you?” A beat. “Not that I mind, I just wanted to check in.”

"Hey, buddy. Did...uh...you get near anything flowery recently?" Cause that stuff's fucked them up a few times, but this feels very distinctly not Security and they're somewhat concerned about it doing something it will regret later. Or at least feel uncomfortable about later. "And do you like...wanna switch to holding hands and walking for a bit?"
