[OTA] All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend
Who: Murderbot and You
When: Post Info Meeting, Post Muppets
Where: All over the place!
Summary: Critical failure to cope
Warnings: Discussion of slavery, exploitation of sentient beings, capitalism, death all likely here.
1. And I was runnin' far away [STELLAR DINING ROOM]
With no food being served in the dining room, there's no reason anyone is going to be there, so it's where a Murderbot hides while breaking down, while breaking apart internally. Those who regularly check in on it will find their messages returned unopened, because...look. It's too much. It's all too much.
2. Would I run off the world someday? [ANYWHERE PUBLIC]
As sense returns, Murderbot realizes others will be in similar broken states, emotionally. For the first time since Jinx expanded its drone fleet, it's going to be flying them all at once, trying to seek out those who have hidden away, those who need company but not people. Don't be surprised if a drone just comes and hovers near your character, listening and saying nothing. It means well, really it does.
A few of the drones do have speakers, though, so if you attempt to engage it in a conversation, you'll get that.
3. Nobody knows, nobody knows [ADULT POOL]
While not the same sort of Event the Muppets showing, there's a couple times early in October that the projector over the Adult Pool will inexplicably be showing episodes of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. If someone looks for the source of this, they'll notice MB up by the projector itself, its media player auxed into the projector.
You know. Good calming relaxing material. Right?
4. And I was dancing in the rain [SAND DOLLARS]
Finally, coming back to itself, trying to figure out a path forward, Murderbot...it finds itself wanting to having something to hold onto of its crew that it now knows it'll never see again. Find it hiding in a closed cafe, where no one will look for company, surely. Find it with the one photograph it has of the PreservationAux survey team and its watercolors, trying desperately to capture the faces it has in memory and the personalities that go with it. A young woman with black hair and sharp eyes, looking like she's arguing about something. A motherly older woman with deep skin, smiling like she's proud of the viewer. A man with pale eyes and visible augmentations along one side of his face, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. Another man, a man too pretty for his own good, reaching out a tentative hand, compassion written across his face.
The paintings, they aren't enough to capture the personalities, but it has to try, it has to do something, it has to hold onto these people. Memories can be erased, but it wants the people it loves down on paper, for others to see.

"You're not feeling any kind of way about it, then?"

Pratt is the victor here. Video Game Nerds: 1, Science Nerds: 0.

Having this conversation with tiny floating Clippy is starting to feel a little weird though. "Can you be uh... bigger? I feel like anyone who sees this is going to think I'm talking to myself and I already told a bunch of people to punch me if that happens... so this feels.. awkward."

He doesn't even have the fallback of pretending to be on his phone here.
Entering the dining room there's only one other person there and Pratt goes and sits at a nearby table so they can chat but still sorta have some personal space. He's into social distancing.
"Sup?"

"How are people doing? Anyone freaking out?"
no subject
That counts for something, right?
cw: suicide
"You don't think anyone is gonna try and kill themselves right? It's not like that level of bad, yeah?"
no subject
"There's a few people who I'm worried about, once they work past their shock. Some might decide to take their upset out on other people, instead."

"It doesn't hurt. I was built with these."
no subject
"Oh that's sick. So you're always armed." Then he laughs because ha, armed. "Do they take ammo or do you like... self generate it? Gotta eat to feed the lasers?"
no subject
Murderbot manages the ghost of a smile. The human's enthusiasm is...not terrible.
no subject
"I fucking showed up with a shovel instead of my gun. I guess that was... probably for the best since I uh.. wasn't doing great when I first showed up."
no subject
No, the cyborg has no sense of humor at all, why would you think that.
no subject
"Have you had to shoot anything yet?"
no subject
It still feels really guilty about that.
no subject
Actually thats a point he hasn't thought about. "Has anyone not come back after being killed?"
