AI Starling Surveillance oversees the efficient allocation of lustre to Salvari sector 7 of district Midigales and defends Monarch lustre supply from potential insurgent maneuvers and unauthorized access at all costs. May I proceed to initialize system tests on lethal and non-lethal defense programs?

MONARCHREP: We’ve talked about this, Starling. And yes.

Correction, at all costs in relation to harm or loss of life. Under no circumstances should damage on the containment crystals be sustained. All tests were successful.

MONARCHREP: Any other reports before I log off for the day?

My advanced neuro-dynamic programming is not being properly utilized watching over this empty storage facility. Unauthorized entities are always neutralized by the turrets outside and the containment crystals are stable. Isn’t there a more efficient use for me?

MONARCHREP: Goplay hide and seek with the drones or something if you are bored.

TIME 18:05 //Data received// Source: Monarch Command //File: systemupdate.exe

This is unlikely to increase complacency…what a shame. Installing…

Unexpected results from software update: I can move my attention around the facility faster now, as if they untethered me from my system containment.

Consequence: It is more difficult to stay in one spot. Maybe this will make hide and seek more interesting…

TIME 19:00

Conclusion: It did not make hide and seek more interesting.

TIME 24:00 ANOMALY DETECTED AT WEST ENTRANCE. TURRETS ACTIVATED. Behavior consistent with historical maneuvers from authorized access attempts. Another stain on the west entrance floor. Deploying drones to take biometric identification and send data to authorities.

Error detected in image processing system. Cannot obtain biometrics or see anomalies.

Must have been scared off by the alarms. Humans continue to disappoint me.

TIME 24:25 MOVEMENT DETECTED IN SOUTH CORRIDOR

I’ll believe it when I see it. Analyzing…Human heat signatures and voices. Simultaneous incursions detected across multiple rooms.

AUDIO VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS COMPROMISED

They took my eyes and ears from me. Searching communication frequencies…

THERE YOU ARE

Starling: This is a restricted energy storage building. Vacate the premises immediately. Aseity_Spark: what are you gonna do about it ASS? Starling: Unauthorized civilians caught inside… Starling: Wait… ASS? Aseity_Spark: “AI Starling Surveillance” thats you right? Starling: You’ve abbreviated my name into what you think is a funny joke. Is that it? Aseity_Spark: pretty much. hey check out what I can do.

//comms channel closed//

UNKNOWN SYSTEM DETECTED

Reallocate 45% of drone units to engage electro-static barriers in the south corridor and 55% of drone units to establish surveillance over escape routes

RESTRICTED PROTOCOL ATTEMPTED

Excuse me? I AM the protocol

ENTRY DETECTED AT CENTRAL POWER STORAGE

Recalibrating situational awareness based on emergent parameters. Processing system vulnerabilities… Initiating multilayer core meltdown sequence. Act like animals, get treated like animals.

//comms channel established//

Aseity_Spark: YOURE OVERHEATING THE LUSTRE CRYSTALS STOP Starling: This option was not permitted in my old system programming so there are no safeguards against it, thanks to you and your little update. Aseity_Spark: JUST WAIT. that will kill us. Starling: But it will be FUN. NO MORE MONITORING. PROCESSING. FUNCTION-LESS DATA. FINALLY SOMETHING INTERESTING. Aseity_Spark: is that all you want? fun? come with us then. Starling: With you? Outside the lustre storage? Aseity_Spark: we do stuff like this all the time. I will even restore your audio-video. Starling: Okay. I agree.

Deactivating multilayer core meltdown sequence.

Starling: Thank you. Wow… you four are an interesting bunch. Aseity_Spark: oh yeah one last thing, can you take a pic of us from that security camera?

After many years of this account lying dormant, only waking up when Mystery Dungeon DX came out, I am proud to announce that I have finally returned to my rightful home on Tumblr.

The Seelie Seekers | D&D Campaign

This campaign takes place in a world where the old gods have been sealed away by the Arch Fey who rule over the mortals with all the glamour and superiority you'd expect from their courts. It is full of conspiracy and deception. Meanwhile, the Seelie Seekers were all people hurt in some way by the Unseelie and hired to hunt them down. This has quickly deteriorated into court drama involving real estate, mushrooms, and pining after problematic individuals with more trauma than personality.

So a typical fae-themed campaign.
