This City Isn't What It Seems

A plot/ask blog hybrid that follows LOG-in, Patton, Roman, and Virgil as they try to right a glitch in their city's record system and uncover something more sinister in the process. Timeline / Story Outline / Character Sheets / FAQ

I’m not sure how much people still follow this--but I have created a new blog very similar to this format! It’s fantasy style, and you can check it out @ask-aspiria-sides!

You can read the first post here :) Thanks again for all the support you all gave me during this blog’s run!

[ask-crs-sides]

Y'know, i really kinda [very] miss this au. It was one of the first blogs i followed in this fandom and i used to be on here all the time while it was still running and i would even participate (on anon but whatever) and what a good time it was! I've been very stressed because of final exams and graduating and it made me miss this a lot so tomorrow, after I'm done with my last exam before graduating, I'm going to take the rest of the weekend, scroll all the way to the beginning and go through it

Anyways (i hit the character limit) i guess i just wanted to thank you for this. Tbh, this au helped me through some stuff that seemed really big at the time. And idk. It helped a lot so thank you for all the effort you put into this blog and for all the effort you still put forth on your other blogs!

Aww I’m glad you like it so much! And I know a lot of other people really enjoyed it. That’s why I’m happy to announce that I’ll be making another blog similar to this one in June or July! It’ll be fantasy-based, with magic and such. I’m very excited for it! :)

[ask-crs-sides]

well atleast they're alive

That is quite true. You all did very well!

how was he gonna die??

Originally, if Patton had followed through and done as he was told (ie taking out Logan’s chip and smashing it) then Morgan would shoot Thomas to ensure that he could never recreate Logan again. So Thomas would have died and Logan couldn’t be recovered, but Imaj wouldn’t have been shot and subsequently paralyzed, so it’s a give-and-take.

[ask-crs-sides]

are you serious---

I am very serious.

[ask-crs-sides]

Random lil tidbit of info: Thomas was supposed to die in the finale.

[ask-crs-sides]

I'M GAY

“Me too,” says just about everyone in this universe.

[ask-crs-sides]

Logan, Patton was trying to protect you and Imaji by taking out your chip because Morgan (a bad guy) was going to kill him if Patton didn't give the chip to him, but then Morgan told Patton to break the chip and of course Patton didn't and so Imaji got shot and Logan you were still turned of and then Patton got shot and then Roman got shot and then Virgil got shot. Just to ease the feeling of fear and sadness towards Patton because he was trying to protect everyone....

Logan looked even more confused with that explanation. “But...But how did all of that happen? What could have possibly led to that...”

Imaj tugged on Logan’s sleeve and shook his head, signaling to Logan that it was probably best to drop it. Logan only frowned.

[ask-crs-sides]

Welp, a mean anon gave Logan trust issues ;-;

((First he gets anxiety and now he has trust issues. He’s turning into Virgil!))

[ask-crs-sides]

You can't trust anyone Logan, they will all just use you. They don't care if you have emotions. You're just a machine to them. A broken, replaceable, machine. After all you're the third of your kind. Each one before you thrown away

Imaj squeezed Logan’s hand and looked up at him. Logan looked uneasy, terrified even, and Imaj squeezed his hand harder. Logan met Imaj’s eyes and Imaj patted his hand on Logan’s arm, reassuringly. Logan still didn’t look entirely convinced, but he seemed at least more comfortable in Imaj’s company instead of the others.

[ask-crs-sides]

Logan you think they actually care? You're just a robot to them, YOUR CREATOR ABANDONED YOU

Logan flinched and the lights in his joints fizzled out for a moment before activating again at full brightness.

Thomas stepped forward. “Alright, that’s enough. Logan, let’s go to another room and get you settled down.”

Logan looked uncertain and didn’t move from his spot. Imaj wheeled forward and held out a hand in offering. Logan looked at him and slowly took his hand. Imaj awkwardly tried to wheel his chair before Logan began pushing it for him. Imaj led him out of the room and to a more open space towards the front of the house.

[ask-crs-sides]

((Logan remembers the feelings he has just before he was shut down!! Patton turned him off! That's why Logan remember sadness towards him! Mum, my heart, you do to well of a job of breaking it))

((Glad someone caught it! And I’m glad I can still break hearts haha~))

[ask-crs-sides]

He's your creator, he built you, why wouldn't he be able to erase your memories?

Logan took an unsteady step backwards.

“Okay I think this needs to stop already,” Virgil said. “He’s got anxiety already. Will you stop messing with him? Logan, you’re safe here.”

[ask-crs-sides]

They may seem nice, but do these people truly care for you, who says they didn't purposely erase your memories because you found out something you weren't supposed to about them??

Logan’s hands began to twitch. “They what?”

“Logan, no such thing happened,” Thomas said. “Your memory chip was damaged. I tried to repair it but it seems the memories did not stay intact. We would not purposely take your memories.”

[ask-crs-sides]

Looks can be deceiving, some of these people hurt you, abandoned you, forced you to do things you didn't want to.

“They...what?” Logan asked, eyes widening in horror.

“Stop it,” Parker said. “You’re going to scare and upset him. Can’t you just let him be comfortable and develop new memories?”

[ask-crs-sides]

So Logan, other than the emotions, what's your "first impressions" of these guys

“They all seem like good people,” Logan said. “None of them seem particularly bad which is why I don’t understand why I have some negative feelings associated with some of them.”

[ask-crs-sides]

So no memories or names? If not you should introduce yourselves

Logan shook his head, confirming his amnesia. The others glanced around awkwardly and began going around, introducing themselves.

“I’m Patton Sandt. We met a little over a month ago.”

“I am Roman Pri--Um. I’m Roman Sandlot. We also met that time.”

“I’m Parker Samson...We met a little after that.”

“Virgil Xander. You met me with the first two.”

Imaj signed his name and then held up two fingers.

“Imaj,” Thomas filled in. “You met him around two weeks ago. And I’m Thomas Sanders--your creator.”
