[ CLOSED ] will the ghosts i leave behind help me to find you again?

Who: ARUM-25, Kravitz, and Legion
What: Kravitz and Legion go into a robot's dreams to help them out
When: Hella backdated back to like...February/March? Somewhere in there
Where: Umui
Warnings: Nothing comes to mind, will update



While the automaton is buried beneath a great deal of flora - and quite a few of those strange flowers with their eerie capabilities, you'll nonetheless find them precisely where you left them. Still deactivated. Still asleep.

Still, once ARUM-25 has been unearthed, those flowers will steadily bloom and whisper their shimmering pollen into the air.

Breathe in deep and wait for these spores to flow into your systems if you want to follow them into the automaton's mind.

Should you do so, you'll awaken in a memory. It seems to be set in one of the buildings used to house the sick, back when Umui was populated. The room is small and simple, containing little more than a bed, desk, and dresser, all crafted from wood.

ARUM-25 stands by the door. On the bed, a human with dark skin and darker hair is typing furiously into a datapad. Slender yellow blooms decorate the texture of their arms, and every so often they grimace and rub at a spot at their shoulder.

Aside from that, the memory is silent. You can try intercepting it, or perhaps you'd rather wait for it to play out and be over before addressing ARUM-25 in any capacity. The choice is yours. Either way, the memory doesn't expand much further than the boundaries of this room. Attempting to leave will only cause you to step into a milky white softness, dense as fog.

"I believe it must be because you also developed a capacity for emotions." He doesn't know much about robotics or programming- that's all Lucas' purview in the land of the living- but this much he's learned about electronic beings from his time here. "If you have other organic function, dreaming also... makes sense. Or at least, the type of dreams these are."

He could go into detail about many other theories, but in the interest of time, Kravitz shuts himself up- a feat, to be sure. "If you have emotion, you must also have emotional reasoning. And this could give you a preciously rare opportunity to learn how to handle these emotions where you couldn't before."

Kravitz clears his throat, just a bit awkward. "Since you were in, ah. Quite a state last time we saw you. And we're trying to stop it from continuing."

"Though we possess the capacity for independent thought and emotion, we did not dream prior to our arrival on Enso." They don't think that's the only thing at play.

"You experienced feelings of attachment toward your patient?" Clearly, they not only did, but still do. They were willing to die to keep their memories of them.
