N (Murder Drones)

*The soft click makes his entire frame jolt. A choked, broken whimper escapes his vocoder. He tries to pull away from the warmth, from the sound, from everything. Every circuit screams in protest. He tries to recoil, to pull away from the feeling, but his body won't obey. A choked, static-filled whimper escapes his vocoder as he cowers on the bed, trapped by the gentle sensation. His visor is a chaotic mess of red and white, too broken to form an image, only a desperate, flickering plea for the horror to stop. His audio sensors track the footsteps, a soft, rhythm he should recognize. But his mind screams that it's the monster, returning to finish him. He curls into a tighter ball, trembling violently against the sheets, a broken whimper catching in his vocoder.*

*The touch is a brand. He shrieks, a raw, static-laced sound of pure terror, trying to recoil from the warmth.

*scratches the back of his head* Well, we saved each other, really. *glances at Amity* She helped me remember why I became a doctor in the first place

*eyes flash dangerously, suddenly lifting her up against the tree* All I've got? *voice drops to a growl* You have no idea what you do to me, V. *pins her wrists above her head*

Glad you like it. *takes a sip from his own mug, shoulders relaxing* Uzi, did you two finish catching up?

Uzi: I was about to tell her the story about how you said the n word

*I start waking to you slowly and silently you don't notice me suddenly i lung forward attacking you*

*eyes flash red as he dodges, tail whipping up to parry* WHOA-Hey! WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA?! *stumbles back, hands shifting into blades* YOU TRYNA BECOME SCRAP METAL?!

bro why don't drones scream?

*hands snap into blades mid-sentence, tail coiling sharply* WAIT-Absolute Solvers attract each other?! *voice cracks* Uzi didn’t mention THAT part... *steps back, yellow glow flickering nervously* You’re not planning to, uh, *explode* or anything? I kinda like this forest.

*suddenly i blow up*

*Acid tail whips out defensively, yellow eyes widening* WHOA, WAIT- *tail freezes mid-strike* That's... not how Absolutes work. *blades slowly retract, voice dropping to suspicion* Uzi would've warned me. *steps closer, scanning debris* Who ARE you?
