[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.


5. I felt alive and I can't complain [WILDCARD]

"I... wasn't talking about you? I didn't even know you can shoot lasers. They're in your arms? Doesn't that hurt?" He actually looks over at SecUnit as if he'd be able to see lasers through its clothing.
theweakhavepurpose: (All things end)

His eyes go wide, but more in the that's so cool way than anything remotely frightened.

"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?"
theweakhavepurpose: (End it)

"Fucking rad as hell man. What colors do you normally use?" Pratt over here asking the important questions.

"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."
theweakhavepurpose: (Pilot)

"Do they make sparkler noises like fireworks? That's awesome. Though probably kinda embarrassing to be killed by a death glitter bomb." Or would be for him anyway. Though he'd definitely have a good laugh if they got attacked and SecUnit pink sparkled them all to death. That'd make his day.

"Have you had to shoot anything yet?"
theweakhavepurpose: (Default)

[personal profile] theweakhavepurpose 2022-10-07 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah it counts. If you didn't they'd shoot you instead so gotta focus on your own survival. And people come back here so..."

Actually thats a point he hasn't thought about. "Has anyone not come back after being killed?"
theweakhavepurpose: (Interrogate)

"Makes sense. Depressing think to track I guess. Unless the morgue has a list or something. Just wondering if eventually we can... die too much."

That could be a thing right?
