[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.

Watson takes a deep breath. What is he meant to do with a SecUnit who doesn't remember anything of the past year and a half? What if it still needs to eat? "Why don't you come with me? We can go up on the deck, get some air. The ocean is rather nice to look at when you're having a difficult time."
no subject
“Yes, I will come with you. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ocean before.”
There’s a vague surprise at wanting to.
no subject
"From my perspective... well, I've been here about a year and a half, and you've been here nearly as long. I don't know why -- I don't know why you don't remember it."

"Useful," he says, "and reliable in an emergency, and a pleasure to know. And, for that matter, a first rate medical assistant, so far as my ability to teach you goes."
no subject
One of those disturbs it more than the other, though.
no subject
Watson flashes a smile at it, briefly. "I'll be honest, everything I know of SecUnits I know from you, but I can truthfully say you have no client here."
