Distress Calls | Selectively accepting

V sure had been gone for a long time....

She was only going out to get some coolant, she had said. And while one would expect her to be gone for a bit-- as Silica City, one of the few remaining places with any non-lethal oil sources left-- was quite a few miles away. So V would naturally take a long time to get back, even if she was a fast flyer.

...?

The sound of the humorously-fitting ringtone on Salem's phone can be heard as it's vibrating on the couch; it's V calling. But what is she calling for? Is something up? Sure enough, if the phone were picked up, an answer would quickly be provided...

"S_le_, a_e yo_ th__e?" Oh-- if one puts aside the poor signal, she sounds kind of panicked. "_a_e_, ca_ y_u _ea_ me!?"

The sudden sound of a creature screeching-- that creature obviously not being V-- and blade slashing is suddenly heard amidst all the blowing snow-- can suddenly be heard over the phone, and it's all that can be heard before V can be heard again.

"C__ _o_ get he__ q_i_k?! Pl_as_... I-I N_e_ h_lp! Th___'_ a S--"

There is suddenly a loud CRACK sound followed by beeping as the line quickly goes dead.

Oh, dear...

[muses0fgracie]

The nickname makes V turn around and briefly glare at him in annoyance, clearly not appreciating it. 'Angler-butt'!? She'd heard Uzi's classmates come up with better than that!

But as they reach the end of the alleyway, coming up to a dingy-looking back door of a very tall building-- a very unsuspecting-looking one, at first glance-- V perches herself onto an old bicycle rail to explain. Especially at the complaint of food; was he being serious about the soul-eating part? Weird.... But either way, who was she to judge? Plus, she should probably play into it a bit.

"Oh, relax; there'll be plenty of meals coming up. And believe me, 'Uncle Funfred'--" claws used to make air quotation marks, considering her normal fingers and hands are tucked away, "--you'll be getting the lion's share compared to me."

She gestures to the building.

"So, you see this place here? Looks unassuming enough, but it's got lower floors full of laboratories and holding cells. And in one of those labs is something that I was sent here to get. Unfortunately, there's more human security down there than drones, and I can't kill humans for.................... medical reasons." It was more than likely not that and actually something else, but still.

"And I couldn't help but notice that you're a pretty powerful killing machine yourself, so I have a proposition to make; You help me get what I came here for, and I'll let you indulge yourself in all the humans you can eat. Sound fair?"

...The little narc was unfortunately right.

As cozy as this part of Silica city's remains was, it wasn't exactly a good place to look at the stars. And they had been trying to get a good view of them because this was one of the few times a year that all the best constellations could be seen, too. So they would have to find a better spot...

...well, Uzi and Cyn were the only ones genuinely trying to look at the stars. V had mostly gone to accompany the purple worker drone, but seeing Cyn... oof. Uzi knew V didn't trust the little yellow ex-solver-host, and while she wasn't sure Cyn was trustworthy either despite the seeming effort to change, she knew that she had to at least keep things civil; V was the kind of person to antagonize those she felt threatened by or just didn't like in general, something she knew all too well. Case in point...

"...You're right." V says, getting up and standing behind Cyn, who was looking up at their somewhat-obstructed view of the sky. "How about we get a few things out of the way?"

Her claws suddenly come out, and grab the back of Cyn's head-- not hard enough to dent or crush it, but to keep her in a tight-enough throwing grip... but thankfully, no throwing is done, as Uzi places a hand on V's arm before she can do anything.

"Don't even think about it."

Anonymous sent: You should have let yourself get ripped up by those dinobots.

The memories of the fight that ensued after she cut the line all come back at once. She had been swarmed by the sentinel-things, getting bitten and thrown around like a ragdoll all while having to keep her eyes shut to avoid them bootlooping her, and only narrowly escaping by jumping up into the vents.

From there it was a deadly game of cat and mouse up there while avoiding the ones patrolling for her below, while simultaneously worrying about the red one-- well, "Sparky", before she named it-- catching her up there. She wasn't sure how, but she had miraculously managed to get the drop on the dino and tame it into submission, once she'd appealed to it's mutual enjoyment for violence, and convinced it to help against Cyn the greater problem. And they'd taken out the rest together. The plan had been to go downstairs and catch up before the planet had been taken apart by the solver....

...but what if she hadn't managed to win that fight, let alone Sparky's trust? What if they all HAD gotten her?

The thought of being bootlooped-- unable to move, think, speak, and thus being rendered powerless to do anything, without anyone to help her-- while becoming raptor food would be so painful... and quite karmic. She claimed to feel nothing a long time ago, and to die that way... it would be almost cathartic. It would especially be deserved, especially after all she's done to the person she loves most...

She wondered why he cried out for her, and said he NEEDED her, despite all she'd done to him.

Her next words are forlorn, her tail droops to the ground, and she then sits down, legs to her chest.

"...I know."

As the grin creeps across the purple thing's face, V grins as well-- hers being a bit more toothy though, of course.

There was no doubt that the worker drone's aim was, in fact, shit. But hey, seeing as how they had nothing better to do, helping with target practice would be nice. Although the real challenge for V would be to not engage in some kind of feral cat-fight afterwards. Curse you, programming and instincts.

If Uzi did manage to get any hits in though, then color her surprised. She WAS modified to be the fastest out of the three who arrived on the planet; shooting her would be no easy task! But at least Uzi would be learning from the best...?

V hops up into the air, and once the worker drone fires off, she moves. First two are easily dodged, and one barely grazes her wing-- in fact, she could almost feel a slight tingle in her wing where it almost struck-- but otherwise not hurt.

"You actually tryin' down there, honey?" of course she had to make a comment. Bitch. But in her mind, maybe some riling up would get Uzi to start doing some stopping, thinking and planning before firing.

a wide determined grinned stretches across her mouth, displaying her fangs as she giggles excitedly. while she was being honest about it being on NON-LETHAL MODE, that didn't mean the small bullets of energy wouldn't hurt. if uzi manages to get a hit in ( which is another reason they're doing this her aim is shit and she needs to practice on it asap ) it should feel like a small electric shock, temporarily immobilizing whichever limb it makes contact with. it should only last a few seconds.

probably.

taking aim at the murder drone, her sensors lock onto her as her digit flicks a trigger on her gun, making it hum to life.

" okayyyy you ready ? on the count of three. one THREE ! "

finger holds down on the trigger as small spurts of purple energy bullets come flying at the murder drone. trust that she's really trying to concentrate on aiming at the drone; but she knows firsthand how fast they can maneuver through the air.

“Why not.”

Where did she come from. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. She was bored and hungry anyways.

[muses0fgracie]

@onlyheartaches ( Doey and Pianosaurus time!! )

This was it. This was how they died.

The two drones had only just finally found each other again after having fallen down here all those days ago, and their journey back to the upper levels, to get back home to the drones' safe bunker while finding the secrets that Uzi‘s mother failed to locate… was about to all come crashing down, now that they were unfortunate enough have gotten cornered by one of those monsters that lurked down here.

It was a Bigger body based on that one Nightmare critter, the gator one-- the one that their friend Doll liked. It had them both backed into a dead end, and it had proven to be a formidable foe by dodging all of Uzi’s attempts to shoot it (how could something so big be so fast?!)— and she couldn’t actually get close enough without risking getting bitten by those large chompers, or getting swiped at by its claws or tail. Plus, it had thick leathery skin, which was another glaring problem... So now, the two worker drones could do nothing and sit there in pain as the large monster closed in on them both. Uzi was at least trying to keep a brave face despite the intense fear she felt, while poor V-II looked like she was a bout to cry.

. . . ! !

Gasp! "Ah!--"

The two ‘bots winced and braced themselves as the Bigger Body charged at them, unsure if they were fully prepared for what kinds of pain and death they thought would come next...

She is gonna kick it.

Oop, she's gonna fly off to avoid getting hit!

And she gonna pull a Doll and teleport away, as there is nO WAY she is gonna smell any worse than she does already! Because... Lizzy's now about to get a nose full of stink bomber and be the smelliest one here.

@musesofthesun sent: "V...?" N calls, voice sounding a bit more timid than usual. "can you, erm, come with me? I-I think we should talk..."

She didn't even remember how long she'd been in here at this point.

V sat in the corner of the landing pod, completely wrapped up in an oil-splattered blanket. Her claws were out, digging into her arms as so many thoughts raced through her processor, and felt many emotions in her core. How ironic, the one who claimed to feel nothing so long ago was now reduced to a weeping mess.

So many popups were on her screen as she dug her claws deeper into her arms, it was a surprise she was not denting herself very badly.

...his voice. Hearing his voice seemed to make all of the popups go away, if only for a moment. V slowly looked up from the floor towards the entry hatch, a look of bewilderment on her muzzle. He... wanted to talk? But why? It sounded too good to be true, why would he want to talk to her after everything she'd done? He probably hated her with every fiber of his being.

"V, you kinda suck."

Remembering that sentence made her want to snap, and rip up the landing pod from the inside out. It probably wouldn't be too far out there to believe that he would be happier without her in his life. He certainly seemed to be, now that he had that purple worker by his side....

But even if it WAS too good to be true, V wasn't going to repeat this vicious cycle of being so cruel to him. So, with the blanket still draped over her, she slowly got up, climbed up the ladder, and used her claws to slowly open the entry hatch until he could see her eyes, the regret and pain she felt being clear as day.

"...You mean it?"

"Hmm..."

The disassembly drone boredly hummed to herself as she slurped up the last bit of oil from her latest prey, one of the... admittedly childishly-built robots roaming this mysterious island where she had managed to find herself.

She wasn't sure how long she would be here, but she wasn't protesting-- she liked exploring places just as much as she liked slaughtering prey. And the fact that the planet this place was located on had an atmosphere made it so she didn't have to worry about going into the sun (if it came out). Win-Win for V! Now, where to next--

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

--but that train of thought was interrupted by her sensors immediately telling her to get down, as a projectile of some kind was now headed her way. Alarmed, the she-drone swiftly hit the deck, a... blue buzzsaw? zooming by and managing to slice off half of her tail. The nanite acid stinger stuck into the ground, slowly burning away the earth it was stuck in.

Furious, she turned in the direction she could've seen the buzzsaw go in.

"HEY! That doesn't grow back overnight!" she furiously screamed as she could feel herself regenerating.
