Mira IT Specialist Indigo

An IT Specialist that should've been dead years ago

[indigo-mira-it]

🖥️ "This job sucks"

"Why am I on the Skeld? Mira transferred me and I have to get there somehow."

Hello hello humans! Welcome to an Among us Show oc ask blog!

Following Indigo, an IT Support Specialist over at Mira! Along with that, because of something that happened to them back when they were an intern, they are...kinda and imposter kinda not. I will let you all figure out how ;]

They are stationed on the Skeld for the time being as they've recently been transferred from MIRA HQ! They might as well help everyone out with the IT stuff and a few other activities.

~~A Few Notes~~

Anons are perceived as a distant voice unless stated otherwise. Indigo understands vaguely that this voice can't do anything and can share information that they will not to fellow crewmates if they so please.

All Asks go through a certain someone prior to answering. Don't push your luck. You wouldn't want them to get angry

You're allowed to ask me the mod stuff if you would like, whether it be about Indigo or about stuff relating to them, just be sure to address it to me so I know it's OOC

If anything needs to be added, I will add it!

Extra details about Mod under cut

Hi I'm @hyperfixationsgoweeeee, or Shad, the mod of this askblog and the creator of this oc. I use They/Them Pronouns, I'm 18 and I am currently hyperfixated on the Among us Show! Unsure how long this'll last but hey, let's have some fun while it lasts!

I would just like to say, I have a habit of overthinking a lot of stuff and I have some anxiety. So be aware of this ^^"

[indigo-mira-it]

Indigo, pre-visor crack and jacket-obtaining, did you have any family? You don't seem very good with children...

...Does anyone know about what happened to you? :(

"Yeah yeah these kids are just going to expose me so I'd rather get rid of that problem."

"Ehhh? Yeah obviously. I was from a single pod, never had any more kids cause my parents couldn't handle it. Cobalt and Electric were their names. Stopped keeping contact after I went to college."

"I did have some friends in college though. More of a family I'd say. Coral was one of them...uh...the lick obsessed Coral. Not sure what happened to them.."

Indigo pauses with that last question.

"Ha. Why does that matter?"

[indigo-mira-it]

Awwe, you were given kids too? It feels like you and your little fr- acquaintances all have slings by now, for some reason. I wonder if it was the same anon giving them out?

Have they interacted with anyone? I’m sure Rose and their counterpart would let them play with their own kid, at least. Unless the little ones haven’t figured out how to hide their teeth… maybe one of the other imposters could help with that if that is the case…

……I-I’d… keep them away from the doctor… spiders are known for- oh, nevermind…

(Arachnid fact: baby spiders are called “slings” as shorthand for spiderling!)

"Yeah some weirdo keeps chucking them at us...for some reason."

Indigo looks down at the two kids.

"You don't think I can teach them myself?" They sigh.

"It seems Amethyst can hide their mouth just fine...but Azure has more trouble I've noticed...don't think I want them interacting with anyone either way. They're just trouble."

@malware-named-byte

(( ooc: bro is trying to ignore it 😭😭😭

Indigo lets out a grumble at the question. "I don't think I have on-"

"When the hell did you get a robot body...?"

[malware-named-byte]

"The tumblr wizards somehow gave me one! Not sure how. But they did!" :p

[ Byte scratches the back of its head before standing there idly and silently for a second too long, clearly feeling a bit awkward. It then attempted to take a step forward, wobbling a bit before abruptly plopping down to the ground a comfortable few feet away from Indigo. ]

"Uhhh... I know I'm probably the last thing you want to see right now, but... I'm gonna sit with you for a bit. I can stay silent if you want. But first, umm..."

[ Byte went silent for another awkward few seconds, its expression clearly concerned. It definitely heard or saw something from last night. ]

"... Do you need anything? Like, maybe I could find you some blankets or something... Or we could play a game, or... what do people do for others when they're upset... I dunno. I'd ask about hugging or talking but you don't seem like the type of person to like that kind of thing."

[indigo-mira-it]

"Tumblr wizards...who...ooohhh...those things..."

Indigo watches Byte's demeanor change. They narrow their visor at Byte.

This didn't come out of nowhere. How could they have...

"What all did you hear.."

The malware that already can see everything MIRA knows about them heard something from last night.

It probably realizes...oh...if it heard the right things it would know what happened. Even if it didn't hear everything, it knows the general 'incident' and...well...

"...I should've gotten rid of it when I had the chance..." Indigo mutters to themself.

How closed off must they make themself before they finally realize they need to open up...

[malware-named-byte]

"I DIDN'T REALLY HEAR MUCH I PROMISE!!!" [ Byte blurts out, waving its hands frantically before pausing. It probably shouldn't be panicking so much, it's basically walking on eggshells right now... ]

"... uh. I basically only heard yelling and something about killing people and that's it. That's all."

[ Byte looks in the opposite direction, trying to avoid Indigo's gaze. Somehow, despite being a robot, it was visibly shaking as if it were a living organic being... ]

"... You don't have to talk to me about anything if you don't want to. I'm just... worried. I don't think I've ever heard or seen you so worked up over anything. I'm not judging you. I just... don't want you to think you're alone? Or anything?"

[indigo-mira-it]

The way Byte panics catches Indigo off guard...even though it admittedly shouldn't.

It's a completely warranted reaction with how Indigo without fail has been so cold. In fact they've outright threatened Byte! So the fear isn't unjustified...

That just reinforces what they already know about themself...

...

"Why do you care...?"

Why does Byte care about someone who has been nothing but rude to it. Why does Byte care about someone who has threatened to kill them and honestly would if given a good enough reason to...

"Why don't you want me to 'think that I'm alone'...pity? Stupidity? What?! Why shouldn't I!?"

Indigo gets up and looks down at the robot.

"I already know I'm alone! I've been alone ever since that 'mOnStEr' took the lives of my old crew! I don't have anyone because why do I deserve anyone! What because 'everyone deserves someone' BULL! SHIT! WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU ANYTHING WHEN I ALREADY KNOW I'M ALONE!"

"WHY DOES A MONSTER NOT DESERVE TO BE ALONE!?"

Indigo chokes on their words. That last part wasn't supposed to come out...they weren't supposed to spill.

"That wasn't supposed to...fuck..."

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte stares up at Indigo in complete shock, entirely frozen in place. It was expecting Indigo to snap, but not like this... It starts to shake again before abruptly standing up, its expression changing to something between frustration and sadness. ]

"I CARE BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOURSELF! YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO NOTICE YOU'VE CHANGED AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE STILL CALLING YOURSELF A "MONSTER" WHEN YOU'RE NOT!"

[ Byte managed to force emotion into their voice all of a sudden, at the cost of it sounding a bit choppy and... weird. It takes a few quick steps forward and grabs Indigo by the shoulders aggressively, shaking them slightly as if to shake some sense into them. ]

"IF YOU WERE REALLY STILL A "MONSTER", YOU WOULD'VE FUCKING KILLED ME THAT DAY WE FIRST MET! YOU PROBABLY WOULD'VE KILLED MORE PEOPLE BEFORE ME, TOO! IT'S NOT FAIR THAT YOU HATE YOURSELF OVER SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T DO AGAIN! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE ALONE BECAUSE YOU AREN'T THAT SAME "MONSTER" YOU THINK YOU ARE! YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON, I KNOW YOU ARE!"

[indigo-mira-it]

Indigo lets out a loud cackle at Byte's words...the way Byte is so...passionate about what it said. The cackle doesn't sound natural...it sounds like Indigo is forcing it out...perhaps as a last attempt to keep the status quo...or perhaps...

"14."

Indigo states. Their tone monotone and cold. A sharp contrast to their emotional and distraught tone moments ago...even their loud cackle just now. Now that Byte notices this...all this seem out of character for them...

"It has been the same story ever since I came to be. Someone gets close...they start getting suspicious...and suddenly...their lifeless corpse is found in front of the MIRA HQ entrance. 14 times I've done this."

Indigo blankly stares. It's almost unnerving just how they don't even seem to move.

"I might wish things went another way when I first became the way I am...but do you think I regret all of their deaths...? Do you think I am a 'good person' when I have probably killed more than anyone in this ship..."

They lean closer. Something becomes clear...the part of them that had the regret is no longer talking...

"I probably would've killed more before you...I already have. Do you truly think I deserve to be called 'a good person' ...don't make me laugh. Who knew a 'sentient' script could be so stupid."

Byte is held down with shocking strength. One of the disadvantages of a physical body...you can't blip through the Wi-Fi to escape.

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte is shocked yet again, but this time, it stops shaking completely. Somehow it seems completely unafraid this time as if this wasn't a threat on its life. It just gives an unamused look before speaking in a monotone voice again. ]

"You're clearly not the person I was just talking to."

[ Instead of struggling, it just stays still. This is completely out of character for Byte... ]

"You're the weird alien that possesses Indigo. You're the one who killed all those people and now the actual Indigo has to deal with all the guilt."

[ Byte pauses for a moment, still lacking any signs of fear. It seemed distant all of a sudden, like it was disconnected from the reality of the situation. ]

"Before you try to kill me, can I at LEAST ask a few questions first?"

[indigo-mira-it]

"I was that obvious huh. Figures."

RAT notes how distant Byte is...odd.

They stare off into the distance for a moment, contemplating their next move.

"Who's to say you're not going to just...pop right back into the wifi and blab about what I am if I try to 'kill' you. This metallic body isn't what you are."

.

.

.

RAT sighs after a moment of silence. "Fine then. I'll humor you. What do you want to know"

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte grumbles something unintelligible for a moment before looking the other way. After a moment of silence, it suddenly kicks RAT in the stomach, jumping up and taking a few steps backwards - as many as it can, at least. What happened to it being clumsy...? ]

[ Its demeanor completely changed yet again. It looks beyond pissed. It jabs a finger towards RAT as it begins screaming at them. ]

"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?! WHAT'S THE POINT OF RUINING AN INNOCENT PERSONS LIFE? HUH? AND WHAT'S THE POINT OF KILLING OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE? BECAUSE I KNOW DAMN WELL YOU DON'T DO IT JUST TO PREVENT GETTING CAUGHT!"

[indigo-mira-it]

RAT doubles over at the sudden kick, letting out a grunt. "Fucking...damn metal sack a' shit..."

They suddenly look up as Byte screams at them. This is the angriest they've ever seen it. The little malware they saw that one day who was quivering at a simple threat, who can see exactly what they are now...who knows that the moment it's back in the computer, they can just kill it...standing up to them.

They have no answer. They've been read like a book by a program. They're completely see through it seems. Yet that won't stop them from trying.

"... Never thought you'd be brave. To an alien that has killed before. To a being that belongs to a species of bloodthirsty monsters. To a monster that feels NOTHING to any kills. No satisfaction...no anger...no despair. It's for survival...yet according to you...that's not the only reason."

"So what other reason do you think I do it? What, because I'm immoral? Bloodthirsty? Am I a monster? Are we a monster? Do I need to prove that I'm like all the rest for you to understand...?"

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte pauses, slowly lowering its hand and clenching both hands into fists. It seemed ready to start beating the shit out of this alien, but it seemed to hold itself back. Odd for someone with such unstable emotions. ]

"What do you mean it's "for survival"? Is there seriously nothing else you can do? Is that why..." [ Its expression dampens slightly once it trails off. It decides not to continue with that sentence. ]

"... Maybe if it's for survival, you're not a monster either. But haven't you tried anything but killing innocent crewmates...?"

[indigo-mira-it]

RAT looks almost disappointed at Byte saying they're not a monster. Yet...it doesn't linger.

The disappointment is forgotten when RAT becomes almost...insulted at the idea. The assumption that their own host didn't try...didn't try and find a compromise to avoid killing.

"Oh they tried alright. My host tried to keep me from killing anyone else. Yet when they tried to talk to one of them about our little 'agreement' and how we wouldn't go out and hurt anyone without reason. We almost had salt thrown in our face. You wouldn't know what salt does to my species and the host would you. We almost were killed right then and there."

"The smart ones usually have experience with us before because MIRA is a negligent profit first company that decided that it would be better to cover up all the incidents that come from it's own stupidity. So we have to worry about those 'saviors' who can easily sniff us out if we get too close."

They realize just how much they've said. They need to watch their mouth more. It's just that they're...frustrated...frustrated at the world...at their situation...

"Fucking hell how did we get here? Ha...what else do you want to know? What else can you just see from how obvious I am..."

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte's expression softens a bit more at the entire explanation, beginning to look towards the ground in the middle of them speaking as guilt began to creep into their expression. ]

"... Sorry." [ Its fists loosened a bit, letting its hands just rest at its sides normally. ] "I don't think I want to ask anything else. I just... Sorry for snapping like that. And sorry for assuming things."

[ Byte finally looked up again, looking even more guilty and like it was about to cry. But it tried to stay calm. ]

"I got... really scared. I promise I'm not going to try to kill you or try to tell everyone else. I only assumed because... um. The last encounter I had with your species wasn't like this."

[ Byte looked away again, trying to avoid RAT's gaze. ]

"Sorry."

[indigo-mira-it]

"... Figures..."

They lean against the wall and slides down it to a sitting position. They don't exactly trust Byte fully...but...they also don't think Byte would since...it didn't share anything about their past with anyone it seems.

Maybe it would be worth a try to have someone to talk to...

They take in a deep breath, calming themself and stabilizing. Their voice returns to a more normal tone for them, for Indigo. "Maybe just...sit here for a bit...just...i dunno...because...?"

A moment of silence goes by.

"... I haven't had anything like this in a while..."

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte looks back at them in shock but quickly takes the offer. It takes a few steps towards the wall and sits down a few feet away from Indigo - not out of fear this time, just out of worry of overstepping any boundaries. It stays silent for a little while longer after they speak. ]

"... me neither, honestly."

[ Byte looks over with a bit of worry in their expression. ]

"Uhh... did I kick you too hard? Do you need any painkillers? Sorry about that..."

[indigo-mira-it]

They wave their hand. "I'll be fine. Not like I'm...yknow...heh...plus it wasn't undeserved admittedly..."

...

"You have anything you want to talk about...? I remember seeing...I believe Ultrakill on the Navigation monitor. Seems like you did a lot better than what Red could do."

[indigo-mira-it]

"WHY DOES A MONSTER NOT DESERVE TO BE ALONE!?"

Indigo chokes on their words. That last part wasn't supposed to come out...they weren't supposed to spill.

"That wasn't supposed to...fuck..."

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte stares up at Indigo in complete shock, entirely frozen in place. It was expecting Indigo to snap, but not like this... It starts to shake again before abruptly standing up, its expression changing to something between frustration and sadness. ]

Indigo lets out a loud cackle at Byte's words...the way Byte is so...passionate about what it said. The cackle doesn't sound natural...it sounds like Indigo is forcing it out...perhaps as a last attempt to keep the status quo...or perhaps...

"... I haven't had anything like this in a while..."

[indigo-mira-it]

I’m not gonna squish Indigo, but I will pet them! …No matter how scared I am of losing my hand!!!

Despite their deadpan expression, they don't enjoy this. They are probably gonna bite this anon soon

[ Byte scratches the back of its head before standing there idly and silently for a second too long, clearly feeling a bit awkward. It then attempted to take a step forward, wobbling a bit before abruptly plopping down to the ground a comfortable few feet away from Indigo. ]

"Uhhh... I know I'm probably the last thing you want to see right now, but... I'm gonna sit with you for a bit. I can stay silent if you want. But first, umm..."

[ Byte went silent for another awkward few seconds, its expression clearly concerned. It definitely heard or saw something from last night. ]

"... Do you need anything? Like, maybe I could find you some blankets or something... Or we could play a game, or... what do people do for others when they're upset... I dunno. I'd ask about hugging or talking but you don't seem like the type of person to like that kind of thing."

[indigo-mira-it]

"Tumblr wizards...who...ooohhh...those things..."

Indigo watches Byte's demeanor change. They narrow their visor at Byte.

This didn't come out of nowhere. How could they have...

"What all did you hear.."

The malware that already can see everything MIRA knows about them heard something from last night.

It probably realizes...oh...if it heard the right things it would know what happened. Even if it didn't hear everything, it knows the general 'incident' and...well...

"...I should've gotten rid of it when I had the chance..." Indigo mutters to themself.

How closed off must they make themself before they finally realize they need to open up...

[malware-named-byte]

"I DIDN'T REALLY HEAR MUCH I PROMISE!!!" [ Byte blurts out, waving its hands frantically before pausing. It probably shouldn't be panicking so much, it's basically walking on eggshells right now... ]

"... uh. I basically only heard yelling and something about killing people and that's it. That's all."

[ Byte looks in the opposite direction, trying to avoid Indigo's gaze. Somehow, despite being a robot, it was visibly shaking as if it were a living organic being... ]

"... You don't have to talk to me about anything if you don't want to. I'm just... worried. I don't think I've ever heard or seen you so worked up over anything. I'm not judging you. I just... don't want you to think you're alone? Or anything?"

[indigo-mira-it]

The way Byte panics catches Indigo off guard...even though it admittedly shouldn't.

It's a completely warranted reaction with how Indigo without fail has been so cold. In fact they've outright threatened Byte! So the fear isn't unjustified...

That just reinforces what they already know about themself...

...

"Why do you care...?"

Why does Byte care about someone who has been nothing but rude to it. Why does Byte care about someone who has threatened to kill them and honestly would if given a good enough reason to...

"Why don't you want me to 'think that I'm alone'...pity? Stupidity? What?! Why shouldn't I!?"

Indigo gets up and looks down at the robot.

"I already know I'm alone! I've been alone ever since that 'mOnStEr' took the lives of my old crew! I don't have anyone because why do I deserve anyone! What because 'everyone deserves someone' BULL! SHIT! WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU ANYTHING WHEN I ALREADY KNOW I'M ALONE!"

"WHY DOES A MONSTER NOT DESERVE TO BE ALONE!?"

Indigo chokes on their words. That last part wasn't supposed to come out...they weren't supposed to spill.

"That wasn't supposed to...fuck..."

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte stares up at Indigo in complete shock, entirely frozen in place. It was expecting Indigo to snap, but not like this... It starts to shake again before abruptly standing up, its expression changing to something between frustration and sadness. ]

"I CARE BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOURSELF! YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO NOTICE YOU'VE CHANGED AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE STILL CALLING YOURSELF A "MONSTER" WHEN YOU'RE NOT!"

[ Byte managed to force emotion into their voice all of a sudden, at the cost of it sounding a bit choppy and... weird. It takes a few quick steps forward and grabs Indigo by the shoulders aggressively, shaking them slightly as if to shake some sense into them. ]

"IF YOU WERE REALLY STILL A "MONSTER", YOU WOULD'VE FUCKING KILLED ME THAT DAY WE FIRST MET! YOU PROBABLY WOULD'VE KILLED MORE PEOPLE BEFORE ME, TOO! IT'S NOT FAIR THAT YOU HATE YOURSELF OVER SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T DO AGAIN! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE ALONE BECAUSE YOU AREN'T THAT SAME "MONSTER" YOU THINK YOU ARE! YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON, I KNOW YOU ARE!"

[indigo-mira-it]

Indigo lets out a loud cackle at Byte's words...the way Byte is so...passionate about what it said. The cackle doesn't sound natural...it sounds like Indigo is forcing it out...perhaps as a last attempt to keep the status quo...or perhaps...

"14."

Indigo states. Their tone monotone and cold. A sharp contrast to their emotional and distraught tone moments ago...even their loud cackle just now. Now that Byte notices this...all this seem out of character for them...

"It has been the same story ever since I came to be. Someone gets close...they start getting suspicious...and suddenly...their lifeless corpse is found in front of the MIRA HQ entrance. 14 times I've done this."

Indigo blankly stares. It's almost unnerving just how they don't even seem to move.

"I might wish things went another way when I first became the way I am...but do you think I regret all of their deaths...? Do you think I am a 'good person' when I have probably killed more than anyone in this ship..."

They lean closer. Something becomes clear...the part of them that had the regret is no longer talking...

"I probably would've killed more before you...I already have. Do you truly think I deserve to be called 'a good person' ...don't make me laugh. Who knew a 'sentient' script could be so stupid."

Byte is held down with shocking strength. One of the disadvantages of a physical body...you can't blip through the Wi-Fi to escape.

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte is shocked yet again, but this time, it stops shaking completely. Somehow it seems completely unafraid this time as if this wasn't a threat on its life. It just gives an unamused look before speaking in a monotone voice again. ]

"You're clearly not the person I was just talking to."

[ Instead of struggling, it just stays still. This is completely out of character for Byte... ]

"You're the weird alien that possesses Indigo. You're the one who killed all those people and now the actual Indigo has to deal with all the guilt."

[ Byte pauses for a moment, still lacking any signs of fear. It seemed distant all of a sudden, like it was disconnected from the reality of the situation. ]

"Before you try to kill me, can I at LEAST ask a few questions first?"

[indigo-mira-it]

"I was that obvious huh. Figures."

RAT notes how distant Byte is...odd.

They stare off into the distance for a moment, contemplating their next move.

"Who's to say you're not going to just...pop right back into the wifi and blab about what I am if I try to 'kill' you. This metallic body isn't what you are."

.

.

.

RAT sighs after a moment of silence. "Fine then. I'll humor you. What do you want to know"

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte grumbles something unintelligible for a moment before looking the other way. After a moment of silence, it suddenly kicks RAT in the stomach, jumping up and taking a few steps backwards - as many as it can, at least. What happened to it being clumsy...? ]

[ Its demeanor completely changed yet again. It looks beyond pissed. It jabs a finger towards RAT as it begins screaming at them. ]

"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?! WHAT'S THE POINT OF RUINING AN INNOCENT PERSONS LIFE? HUH? AND WHAT'S THE POINT OF KILLING OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE? BECAUSE I KNOW DAMN WELL YOU DON'T DO IT JUST TO PREVENT GETTING CAUGHT!"

[indigo-mira-it]

RAT doubles over at the sudden kick, letting out a grunt. "Fucking...damn metal sack a' shit..."

They suddenly look up as Byte screams at them. This is the angriest they've ever seen it. The little malware they saw that one day who was quivering at a simple threat, who can see exactly what they are now...who knows that the moment it's back in the computer, they can just kill it...standing up to them.

They have no answer. They've been read like a book by a program. They're completely see through it seems. Yet that won't stop them from trying.

"... Never thought you'd be brave. To an alien that has killed before. To a being that belongs to a species of bloodthirsty monsters. To a monster that feels NOTHING to any kills. No satisfaction...no anger...no despair. It's for survival...yet according to you...that's not the only reason."

"So what other reason do you think I do it? What, because I'm immoral? Bloodthirsty? Am I a monster? Are we a monster? Do I need to prove that I'm like all the rest for you to understand...?"

[malware-named-byte]

[ Byte pauses, slowly lowering its hand and clenching both hands into fists. It seemed ready to start beating the shit out of this alien, but it seemed to hold itself back. Odd for someone with such unstable emotions. ]

"What do you mean it's "for survival"? Is there seriously nothing else you can do? Is that why..." [ Its expression dampens slightly once it trails off. It decides not to continue with that sentence. ]

"... Maybe if it's for survival, you're not a monster either. But haven't you tried anything but killing innocent crewmates...?"

[indigo-mira-it]

RAT looks almost disappointed at Byte saying they're not a monster. Yet...it doesn't linger.

The disappointment is forgotten when RAT becomes almost...insulted at the idea. The assumption that their own host didn't try...didn't try and find a compromise to avoid killing.

"Oh they tried alright. My host tried to keep me from killing anyone else. Yet when they tried to talk to one of them about our little 'agreement' and how we wouldn't go out and hurt anyone without reason. We almost had salt thrown in our face. You wouldn't know what salt does to my species and the host would you. We almost were killed right then and there."

"The smart ones usually have experience with us before because MIRA is a negligent profit first company that decided that it would be better to cover up all the incidents that come from it's own stupidity. So we have to worry about those 'saviors' who can easily sniff us out if we get too close."

They realize just how much they've said. They need to watch their mouth more. It's just that they're...frustrated...frustrated at the world...at their situation...

"Fucking hell how did we get here? Ha...what else do you want to know? What else can you just see from how obvious I am..."

[indigo-mira-it]

umumumummm hey indigo!!! what's your favorite show or movie... :]

@malware-named-byte

(( ooc: bro is trying to ignore it 😭😭😭

Indigo lets out a grumble at the question. "I don't think I have on-"

"When the hell did you get a robot body...?"

[malware-named-byte]

"The tumblr wizards somehow gave me one! Not sure how. But they did!" :p
