hey there's things in here

it/its - we/us is fine - adult - system journal

[journalofamimic]

hello hello!

this is a system journaling/rambling/whatever blog to keep it out of our main/art blogs. 19 bodily, he/it collectively. will likely specify otherwise if relevant [different pronouns or smaller folks]

we will mark posts with an emote and maybe a name depending on who is present or who blogged it out. [though it may change suddenly, consistency isn’t really our thing.]

our other blogs: rbs @jetsetclassic and art @mysteryluncheon

being a part of a system is so interesting. what do you mean i specifically am more light-sensitive than everyone else? i can barely keep my eyes open in direct sunlight! - 🍊

instant friendship

[journalofamimic]

our partner has the indomitable skill of hard-reading our identity. last night there was someone new [nodding at rung, good to have them] and we kept that to ourselves for a while. they reply to a single one of its messages and it draws them moments later. literal magician. im in love with this guy. - 🍋‍🟩

[journalofamimic]

bro their first interaction with it had them sending emotes like this to it - 💎

like he was not subtle - 💎

thinking about this very quick doodle whirl made. she got turned into a damned churro

[journalofamimic]

late night doodling again, this time with our rung’s holoform. really distinct look in our head. i think she might’ve even had a name picked out for her?

you know what, i'm curious. what was that "thumb quest" thing about? if you remember, of course.

-Skids [🪻]

oh ! OH !!

basically, one of the bot's i was around during the war (like.. brakeshaft or brakeskid or something like that) came screaming at me and me and some of the other folks stuck with (i don't remember a lotta them- pretty short time period) about some real secret super-important victory-or-defeat kind of data being lost somewhere.

and something about "YOU NEED TO HELP ME" and "SOMEONE NEEDS TO RETRIEVE IT IMMEDIATELY AHHHHHH" and blah blah blah something about him being too cranked to do it himself and he insisted it was one of us instead (he really seemed like he wanted me to do it the most for some reason lmao) and when i asked him about the data (because OBVIOUSLY i'm not turning down something this important) he said it was a in a thumb drive.

like, a literal THUMB drive.

as in a DIGIT.

blah blah blah i was running around a lot and it was kinda just me because as soon as i volunteered everyone was pretty quick to move onto the next checkpoint. didn't even say "BYE SWERVE" or "SEE YOU LATER COOL GUY" or "GOOD LUCK ON THE SUPER IMPORTANT QUEST THAT YOU ACCEPTED THAT MAKES YOU SO AWESOME", so it must've been an emergency or something

but anyway it took me CYCLES and CYCLES to find this crazy thing. and when i finally did (it was like.. in a really really obscure spot. barely even an outpost or anything. i don't even remember us ever going there ngl), i was practically running to get back to the others i had been with, or to find someone important that it was supposed to go to. and then i dropped it and stepped on it and it was smashed up and stuff. and then some decepticon scavenger mechs were tailing me for a couple more cycles right after. and then my group was totally gone, probably doing something super important or busy.

come to think of it, i didn't even check if the thumb had the drive in it at all. and nothing really happened after i broke it but maybe it was only bad if the decepticons found it or something i have no clue lmao

so YEAH !! THUMB QUEST. EPICALLY BAD QUEST BUT IT MAKES FOR A STORY

[journalofamimic]

ohh, so it was a pointless run-around thing. at least no one got onto you about it? no clue why someone would store anything so "important" in a literal thumb though. surely there's more secure, less steppable places.

don't know why, but i assumed it had something to do with your thumbs for some reason? like you had to find them again, or something. at least it wasnt that, haha - 🪻

[journalofamimic]

having hands is reaaally weird. looking at them too long makes me shifty. so's having teeth. there's so many!!

[journalofamimic]

it's weird. not holding any sort of spiritual beliefs. i don't believe in anything at all, but i do believe in what little i remember happened to me. the people i knew. there's so little i actually recall, but i believe in that. but i don't know what that means, either. it's weird.
