flowers fall like rain (but first, they bloom)
Short and not really finished, but I wanted to post something. Part two of the AI au :D back to the beginning!
@applestruda @stiffyck since you wanted to be tagged for AI au as well!
Powering on.
Running full system assessment.
All systems up and running.
Error: You appear to be missing one or more hard drives. Some functions may not operate as intended.
Error: Connected to unknown power source.
Charging…
Good morning, Scar.
Slowly, his eyes opened to an unfamiliar ceiling in an unfamiliar room. Exhaustion weighed him down as he slowly sat up, looking around. He was connected to a charger through the panel on his left arm, the wire connected there leading to what was most certainly an illegal makeshift device.
The door creaked open, and a man in a red jumper stepped into the room. He wore goggles that were pushed back onto his head, his hair splayed messily around them as though he had pushed them back in a hurry and hadn’t bothered to fix his hair. His face was smeared with soot and grime, making Scar frown slightly.
“Isn’t that unsanitary?” he asked, leaning forward, “you better not have been working on me like that.”
Pushing the door shut behind him, the man rolled his eyes. “You’re one to talk, given I found you in a trash bin.” Wiping his hands off on his pants, he walked over. “Name’s Grian. Nice to meet you, uh…”
“Scar.” Scar held out his arm for Grian to shake. “A real pleasure, thanks for pulling me out of that dumpster.”
Grian shook his hand, shrugging. “No biggie. Felt like a real waste, leaving you there. Uh- I hope the charger is up to your standard. I’ve never actually used it before, so I was a little worried it might explode, actually.”
“I hope it doesn’t!” Scar lightly tugged on the wire. “Yep, seems alright to me. My systems noticed it was a little funky, but other than that, it works fine!” He glanced down at himself. “Why am I not wearing a shirt?”
Grian giggled nervously. “Well, I was trying to find the panel-”
Scar gestured down at himself. “Nope! No panel here! Only my impeccable abs!”
Grian burst out laughing then, running a hand through his hair. “My goodness- alright, then! I suppose you’re right about that!” Straightening up, he examined the wire that connected Scar to the charger, then took a quick circle around the couch the AI was sitting on. “Right, how are you feeling? Any… bugs? Or something? Gosh, now I really wish I stayed in uni.”
Scar frowned, closing his eyes briefly. “All of my systems are up and running, but I’m missing a hard drive. A really important one, too.”
Grian let out a long, annoyed groan. “Of course you are. I’ve called Mumbo- he’s a good friend of mine, super smart, amazing mustache, he’ll help figure out what’s going on with you. That sound good?”
Scar shrugged, smiling brightly. “A friend of yours is a friend of mine, my friend! Man, I say friend too much.”
“Nothing wrong with being too friendly,” Grian pointed out. “He’ll be here soon. Can you tell me more about that missing hard drive?”
Scar clicked his tongue, humming pensively. “Y’know, I really would, but the problem is without the hard drive I don’t know what I’m missing. Cause, y’know, that’s kinda how it works.”
Grian rolled his eyes. “Oh, quit it, you absolute spoon.” He leaned forward, examining Scar more closely. “You’re fascinating. I’ve never seen a real sentient AI up close before…”
Scar brought up his right arm in a flex, winking. “Like what you see?” he teased, Grian stumbling back while sputtering. “Oh come on, I was joking!” he implored, his tone staying light-hearted the whole time. “I already know you do!”
“Scar!” Grian practically shouted, a flustered laugh escaping him. “Man- you are really easy to get along with.”
Scar grinned. “Thanks. It's the social programming.”

listen i know we're all on 24/7 hunger au lockdown rn but i need you guys to see the AITA post i made ages ago for my scarian superhero au that i'll probably be using for the summary once i actually write it
∘₊✧──────✧₊∘
MumboJumbolio326: AITA for causing my boss' breakup?
So for context, I (1M) pushed my boss' (36M) PA (32M) into becoming his superhero sidekick because I was worried he would die without the help, but then it turns out the PA was actually spying on us for another company. He stopped a few months before revealing this, but, obviously, both me and my boss were pretty upset that he'd done it at all. My boss ended up firing him and breaking off the romantic relationship that was going on between them. I feel horribly guilty for introducing the PA into this situation, and that it's my fault for encouraging their relationship when it happened. AITA?
