Scuro

Electronics Therapist

- Little guy is actually robotic! He does have emotions but sometimes they get messed up or mixed up
- He painted his circuit to try to blend in with himself but it’s still slightly visible
- wait wait take that, but he thinks he's a robot because he has a hard time relating to other babies
- Social cues are hard for him and his emotions are so loud sometimes he gets flustered and they get all muddled
- When his circuit becomes more visible he freaks out because he doesn’t want people to know he’s different (as he thinks he is) so he rushes to paint it again
- what if he's actually a slightly different color actually but rolls around in cover up paint so much that he's just black looking now
- he is scared of water because he thinks people will realize he's a robot AND that he will fry his electronics
- he thinks he can talk to machines, so he's always trying to fix machinery around the clan
- can ACTUALLY understand the forgotten signal babies pretty well
- He’s also just crazy good at fixing electronics, like your coffee machine isn’t working and he comes over and just talks to it and then it just. Works
- autotuned singing
-He carries around this little pocket watch he found when he was digging around in the dirt when he was Liddol and he just constantly coos at it and it’s like how a kid carries around a stuffie
- He just ******* Loves that pocket watch and treats it like a real person
- keeps a bed of dirt for the watch when it gets homesick
- when it says this, that means no!" but it's just the time and Scuro's clock illiterate
- every time the watch malfunctions he puts it in the dort


It's like with plants! Like where there were studies about talking to your plants having benefits, but it's just a tiny baby speaking and singing gently to a copy machine about "I know you were sick last time, but why are you so finnicky today?"

It's okay! We all have bad days!"
the slow working computer begins to process just a tiny bit faster as if it's comforted by the words spoken.

"We called in the big guns for this type of troubleshooting"
he scampers in, lil chubby legs just plodding along
"What seems to be the issue today, Jeremy? How're your wires feeling?"

"Oh you're a doctor!!! So you like heal dragons?"
"Oh, no, none of that."
"Oh you work with familiars then!"
"Nah my patient right now is the fax machine down the hall."

Another hatchling: do you want to go to the pond with us?
Scuro: one second please whispering to his pocket watch the watch says no

Like next to his actual bed there's just a little pile of dirt and someone's like "??? Why... is there dirt on the floor."
"Watch.."
they just stare at the dirt
"watch?"
"yeah. watch"
they keep looking
"he gets lonely sometimes"
"Our beds are next to each other! It's a sleepover but all the time!"
"Scuro, what on earth are you talking about."

him and the clock have a family photo
"hour family"

His giant pet clock will always be...
watching out for him

"Can you fix my copier??? It's not working."
"Nope, sorry, I'm clocked out :)))"

Photo Album: Gears of Love
The photos all have text on the back of them, such as "Cogsy and Me and Dessert makes three!" (featuring another dragon named Dessert. They're enjoying snacks together under the sunshine)
"Naptime with Cogsy" his little paw reaching from his nest to his beloved watch pre-transmutation to a tick-tock, gently touching the watch.
"Fishing Festival with Cogsy!" necklace form Cogsy around Scuro's neck, and it's a shot of Scuro watching impatiently as a fishing line rests in the water
