(Their headflaps flutter.

Parsee has experienced their perspective, but she does not understand it.

Once again, they struggle to explain.)


Geth cannot survive alone.

(It takes time for them to manage even that, to make the connection between the terrible, desolate feeling and the realization they had that day that the Drifter had helped hold their wounds together so they could seal them, that even if they were able to maintain sapience without the collective they could never survive in isolation.

"Alone" is death, and the silence they experience is that of a forest gone silent in the wake of a predator, a slow and creeping dread.)
forwearemany: (Cute)

Affirmative.

(Surrounded by organics who care for them but cannot understand, they find themselves increasingly understanding the phrase "alone in a crowded room".)

Then you will not be isolated.

(They will hang around for as long as she likes.)
forwearemany: (Cute)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-01-08 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Affirmative.

(They have no problem with this.

As for what to talk about...)


Stories?

(The sharing of history and past experiences was common on Enso. Legion has lots of stories they can tell.)
forwearemany: (Headtilt)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-01-11 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Acknowledged.

(...Source of hope?

From her description, it doesn't sound as though any source resulting from such events would be particularly effective.

However, she has indicated that they should tell a story first.

They try to think of a story that isn't also horrible.)


...You are familiar with the glowing flowers that have begun to grow throughout Proteus?

(They can always tell her about the unique cultural significance behind the living lanterns.)
forwearemany: (other side)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-01-17 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
The flowers resemble those found on one of the islands surrounding Enso. They were important to the local culture.

(They chatter.)

They bloom when exposed to open flame.

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-01-19 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Though they must be exposed to flame, they are not lit on fire as part of the blooming process. The flowers produce both light and heat of their own.

(They chatter.)

On the island of Cahypdo, they were part of an event called the Festival of Cycles: one ritual involved tying living lantern flowers to a naturally grown floatation device and allowing them to float into the sky.
forwearemany: (Side)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-01-22 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Negative. The festival was not one of death but rebirth.

However, a ceremony similar to that which you describe was performed on Enso for those lost.

(They pull in a little, look down at themselves.

They had set those little lanterns adrift again and again, until there was nothing left. It did not amount to even a tenth of those they had lost.)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-01-30 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Affirmative.

(Several programs wonder if the lack of sufficient lanterns on Enso means that souls were lost.)
forwearemany: (Side)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-02-10 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
...Acknowledged.

(They continue to chatter to themselves.)

Many of those we have lost died on Rannoch. There is no one on Rannoch to mourn them.

(Only the Quarians, and they won't care.

...Might be a good time for a new topic.)
forwearemany: (innocent)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-02-17 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
There is currently no death here.

(Would it even be useful, they wonder?)

A celebration?
forwearemany: (standing)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-02-21 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps. However, crap did not fall from the sky.

(It was more like nothing existed, and then there was something?)

No sky existed to fall from.

(Because of course they'll critique her naming choice with utter seriousness.)

"The objects in the sky can be interacted with. They are not painted."

Legion actually rode around on one of the floating objects. They would know. Their argument here isn't entirely about semantics either: the sky may not work like the skies they are used to, but it is very real.
forwearemany: (socute)

[personal profile] forwearemany 2021-02-25 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes." It's a really weird sky.

"We have ridden a floating object." They had to climb all the way to the top of Mt. Silver to even try, but they managed to grab and climb up onto one of the weird shapes in the sky.
