Starter for @w4rd0g76
Eichenwalde was a morbid place for Bastion to call its home - but it did not have a proper concept of morbidity. It did not inherently see anything wrong with spending its time in the forest and ruined town littered with pieces of its kind. It did make it easy when something was too broken to repair. Things could be replaced. They came with Red Thoughts, but those would pass.
The faint whir of its machinery and the clank of its footsteps echoed through the wreckage. Stone carried the faint *thunk* well. One of its sensors must have been broken. There was a nearby movement alert- heat sensor. But there couldn’t be anything else here in the ghost of Eichenwalde. Couldn’t be anyone else.
Could there?

zhartha:
Perhaps the excitement of the day had dwindled his energy, had him shutting down systems he otherwise wouldn’t have until his monthly ‘ sleep ‘. There was safety to be found when laying against the massive framework of another omnic, curled safely, where his own jieba dimmed to nearly out, and the low humming of another machine against his chassis urged his happiness — he was never a happy man than the moments of helping.
Compelled to lay there, long past the sun rising over the mountains, filtered back behind a landscape of snow and thick clouds, content would keep him trapped.
“Dearest Bastion?” Pushing himself up, the creaking of an aging framework wracked the entirety of himself, optics flickered back on to adjust. “Are you awake?”
The sound of Zenyatta’s voice. Bastion’s processor jolted to awareness, keyed into the faint movement against its side. It was somewhere it did not recognize. Memory scans produced nothing, glitching, faltering-
It was Safe. The message came back, a *feeling* deeper than its memory could process. And for once, the defense protocols settled down at the *feeling,* letting Bastion’s light flicker to full brightness once more.
[Unit status:online.] The faintest little crackle in its vocalizer, as it slowly rebooted what had shut down. [Process-parrot-protocol: good mor-ning, Zenyatta.] Bastion’s light shimmered bright at the edges for a heartbeat - a smile without a mouth.

* ( REIGN / SENTENCE PROMPTS.
These may have been edited for clarity or length or to better apply for roleplaying.
❛ How many people have you killed? ❜
❛ History is a strong word. It was more of a… dalliance. ❜
❛ Have you ever wanted something so much that the fear of not getting it makes you wonder if you ever should have wanted it at all? ❜
❛ I don’t want to live without you and after this I won’t have to. ❜
❛ No one will ever keep us apart again. ❜
❛ Men in general like to win. ❜
❛ Well, your taste in men always did leave something to be desired. ❜
❛ In the darkest of times you were my conscience. ❜
❛ The more we try to help each other, the more harm we do. ❜
❛ I lose everyone I love. ❜
❛ What odd turns our lives have taken. ❜
❛ I don’t give my heart or give up easily. ❜
❛ You have to admit, your fate does have a sense of humor. ❜
❛ I need to forget a ridiculous, childish idea that I could love someone, they could love me, and nothing else mattered. ❜
❛ There is always risk. At least when you love someone it’s worth taking. ❜
❛ I never said I was a good man, but one can receive good advice from a bad person.❜
❛ Love is never simple. Not that I’m any expert. ❜
❛ Are you wearing mink-lined boots? ❜
❛ Well if I have to run I want to look good doing it. ❜
❛ We were supposed to dance under the stars. ❜
❛ Maybe there is no magic but what we make for ourselves. ❜
❛ If the price is my life, I will give it. ❜
❛ I can’t bear to think about a future anymore, not without you. ❜
❛ What good is right or wrong if you’re dead? ❜
❛ Men don’t like taking orders from women. ❜
❛ And real love never fades, not truly. ❜
❛ Just know whatever happens, this is not the end I dreamed for us. ❜
❛ Do not test my power and do not tempt my fury. ❜
❛ If I’m as responsible as you say, I will never forgive myself. ❜
❛ I will spill blood to defend what’s mine. ❜
❛ Men forget, that woman have ears. ❜
❛ Duels only lead to dead men, not respect. ❜
❛ I am trying to be better! ❜
❛ You’re a monster. ❜
❛ You are a necessary evil whose orbit I can’t seem to escape. ❜
❛ I opened my heart to a liar. ❜

{meme} 9. Hiding a broken object.
It hadn’t meant to.
Bastion had snuck into the workshop in the early morning, booting itself out of sleep mode. It was curious about all the little tools and gadgets that Efi had, all the things that made Orisa and Bastion better.It just wanted to touch.
At the sound of Orisa’s heavy footfalls, Bastion looked around frantically. There was no way its repair nodule knew how to put the tangle of parts back together. It would just mess it up more.
Orisa would see Bastion standing with one arm awkwardly jerked behind its back, doing a terrible job of looking inconspicuous.

wounds don’t ever heal
you just notice them less
on good days, you forget they exist at all
but, then comes that one word, that sight,
that s o u n d that brings the pain rushing back
and you realize
you never truly stopped bleeding
you just stopped seeing it
