like some Eastern bloc countries in the 90s. Maybe it’s not an uncommon sight in the lower levels of HoloNiJo if we go with the usual hive world tropes. Then again maybe urban decay’s inevitable even when the world isn’t deliberately dystopian
While I won’t be surprised if someone out there have self-repairing machines I do think what you describe gives a nice organic technology feeling! I always feel like having curvy stuff moving around and presenting specific control surfaces feel very biological even if it’s not strictly limited to that. Daemons with high MIQ can probably control what to present actively while those with lower MIQ might just remove ones that aren’t commonly used (unstimulated)
I don’t know if normal liquid actually helps with absorbing shock. I feel you would want something sticky (which I guess LCL should be given its components, same with a lot of organic secretion which would apply here) if not jello-like so that you can spread the impact force over a longer period of time. Tendrils should work though if you think of them like springs!
