"Yes, well...I've been learning to appreciate the value of 'warmth,' as it were." Connor remarked, noting that it was one of those things that didn't make much sense to him before deviancy, at least not in any personal way. He could observe warmth in humans towards each other and even in Hank and others towards him. It was a certain type of affection expressed in a very specific way. Something between comfort and appreciation that he had a limited personal understanding of, but could feel something adjacent to in very specific circumstances and after doing specific things in tandem with others, most often Hank and then Rachel at times.
It was different actually knowing what 'warmth' felt like. He grew to really appreciate it, the way it left him with a sense of...peace. That was how he finally came to understand it. A sense of peace brought by comfort and appreciation from others for you, and that comfort and appreciation you felt for others.
He counted himself fortunate to understand that, now. And then felt pained that Sixty was cut off from that. But the fact that he was contacting him now meant that that could be rectified. He just needed to discern the circumstantial parameters necessary to accomplish the task. "That would be a suitable start to our investigation. From there, we can determine how best to proceed."

[ Cont. from here ]
[ @shotdownbutstillalive ]
It takes Harper a few moments to reestablish a center of gravity as he hits the floor. Hands instinctively clutch her throat, finding the skin chilled as though it has been pressed against ice. She could already feel the welted outline of hands amid the goosebumps on her skin.
Harper glances up at Sixty, her eyes widening as she sees the spirit in front of him—and the RK somehow managing to physically grip on to it. Androids never ceased to amaze her. She reaches into her pocket, hands finding the smooth glass and waxy seal of a familiar spell jar.
She pulls it from her pocket, gripping it tight. Harper carried this thing everywhere, stuffed with herbs and crystal chips she knew warded malevolence. With a heavy slam, she throws the thing on the floor, shattering it. She pours every ounce of protective intent behind the force. “He is not the one who hurt you! You will let us go.”
Her voice is scratchy, but it seems to supernaturally reverberate off the elevator walls. She feels new, lighter energy fill the space as the spirits of other androids flood in to help.

"It's very simple really" he explained pulling out a small packet "I pull three randomly packaged cards and they will indicate how the previous year was, how the new year will come in, and how your year will be" hands positioned so she couldn't get a glimpse of the packaging he revealed the cards one by one with flourish
"Shuppet: You had intense emotions and sadness last year, but it made you grow stronger
"Pikachu: You turn the energy you've gathered into a strong defense you can use if people don't heed your warning growls
"and Galarian Runerigus: The power of spite will protect you from others who might curse your good fortune"
Of all the things she didn’t expect, this was certainly one of them. But like everything else, it endeared Rachel to Sixty even more than she was already, which was seemingly impossible, and yet he made the impossible possible every day.
Smiling at him, Rachel reached out and took his hand. “Well, who am I to argue with such impeccable wisdom?”

@shotdownbutstillalive asked:
19 How does your OC behave when enraged? for Alma
It doesn't happen very often at all, but when it does, it's quite explosive. He never really learned how to control his emotions, just suppress them until he can't any more and they erupt violently. It doesn't help that his primary example of how to act when he is angry is Dr. Chen, who tends to throw massive tantrums with screaming and throwing things and hitting things. Alma doesn't quite take it that far when he's angry, but he does yell and cry and act rashly and illogically. I think the main difference between Dr. Chen and Alma when it comes to their anger is that Dr. Chen's is fiery and hot while Alma's is cold and icy, if that makes any sense at all. He becomes detached and cruel, temporarily no longer feeling any empathy for whoever enraged him (whereas Dr. Chen still feels empathy, she just needs to get her frustrations out and usually doesn't direct her violence towards people, but rather towards objects). Alma's anger runs deeper and he holds onto it longer because it festers inside of him for so long before he lets it out. It leads to a lot of regret when it's all over and done with, out of his system.

One moment, the AP700 was at the merciless hands of his master, perpetually suffering twisted experiments. And then there were loud noises outside and, suddenly, there was nothing. He rebooted cold and ever-afraid in some novel purgatory. Had his master gotten bored and thrown him away?
Everything hurt, but that wasn’t new. What was new, however, was the will to live--the inexplicable desire to somehow preserve himself, or at least what was left of him. Even despite the simulated pain that wreaked havoc on every sensor in his body, he didn’t want to die. Piece by piece, he felt his way about the android graveyard: until he could see again, hear again, and, soon enough, walk on his own. He hadn’t been able to do that before; the master liked that he couldn’t run away.  
Shaking hands clutched desperately to the thirium pump he’d found, holding it protectively to his chest as disembodied hands tried to snatch it away. He just needed to find a safe place amid this hell to exchange it. His own beat so painfully in his abdomen, although he couldn’t run diagnostics, he knew it must be broken. Finally, he found a small clearing--though no place was truly safe from the scattered android bodies. But his eyes fall on another unmoving android in need of the same component: an RK800, remnants of his programming told him even though he hadn’t asked. Some new, unfamiliar emotion flooded his systems that he couldn’t quite register. Was it empathy? He certainly wouldn’t know. The AP700 looked down at the pump in his hand, hesitating. Maybe he could find another one.
With trembling, plastic-scarred fingers, he carefully removed the RK800′s malfunctioning core, replacing it with the pump he’d scavenged. Immediately, the AP700 scurried back, shielding his face protectively. “please don’t hurt me, please...please don’t hurt me,” he repeated instinctively in a well-practiced mantra, his voice filled with static, “please...”

It wasn’t a secret to Phoenix that there was another RK800 that was around, Connor also told him about the other model and what happened but not to every detail and he respected his privacy. It didn’t stop him from going out to try and find the model. If Nix could be given a chance despite originally sticking to his program, so can the other RK800, it wasn’t fair to not give a second chance and he expected Connor of all androids to understand it but he didn’t come along. Why? He didn’t ask but it didn’t stop him being disappointed in the older model. 
It was easy to track down what had happened to the other RK800, all it took was a simple hack into CyberLife’s files to know exactly what they did. Throw him out. Wow. It didn’t take much at all then, he could have guessed it. Was he still active then? If he had been thrown out? Maybe. The RK systems were more advanced and if there was a chance, he had to take it. That lead to him now walking across the dump to find his predecessor and it didn’t take long to find him. Bending down, he looked at the broken android, face emotionless as he analysed him, “you’re broken.”

Ghost of His Former Self
Closed starter for @shotdownbutstillalive
The revolution was starting to feel like a distant memory. Connor had a new apartment, not far from Hank’s house. He received pay for his work at the DPD, even had a badge and carried a gun. New laws were passed constantly, allowing androids more and more freedoms. Was it perfect? Absolutely not, but they were moving forward, and that is all they could hope for. 
So, seeing a ghost from his past was sure to stir up negative feelings.
Officer Miller needed to take his baby to the doctor and asked Connor if he wouldn’t mind covering his shift. As Chris had only ever treated him with kindness, the RK saw no issue. He would spend the time filling out reports, go on patrol for a few hours, report any findings, and then be able to call it a night. It was simple enough. 
At midnight, his cruiser prowled the streets. Still being short-staffed, Connor was by himself, ready to call in any incidents. He’s capable, able to handle most situations anyway. It was relatively quiet for a Wednesday night. A few stragglers at the local bars, a woman waiting at the bus stop after a long shift, nothing out of the ordinary. 
An hour in with nothing to report, Connor noticed a side door shutting quickly in an alleyway. While that would usually only spark curiosity, the building that was attached to that door was abandoned, a breeding ground for criminal activity. The android parked the cruiser, radioing it in, before heading for the door. Ensuring his gun was at the ready, Connor entered.
The place was in shambles. Nearly all the windows broken in, wind blowing. Even with Summer just around the corner, the nights still harbored a cold chill, the RK adjusting his jacket. It was mostly empty, a few pieces of broken furniture, some rats scurrying about, trash strewn about. It all seemed ordinary. 
Movement from behind had him whipping around, gun at the ready.
“Freeze! DPD!”
Connor was certain he was malfunctioning. This can’t be right. There was no mistaking it. The android on the other end of the barrel of his gun was none other than his past self. -60 marked on his android-labeled jacket. 
“Give me a reason why I shouldn’t just shoot you right now.”
