You're doing amazing my dude! I was looking back through your art tag today and I'm just.... blown away by how /gorgeous/ your animating style is. Skeleton Sisters and the Architect is also??? Absolutely fantastic to read????? I'm so gay for each and every one of the ladies. Since Alpha hasn't gotten much love yet(and because I have a huge soft spot for that smart sassy spitfire) might we get some headcanons on how she'd act on a date with an s/o? Or mayhaps gifts she'd give?

jaksjdflks thank you so, so much Anon, you’re so sweet?? (⁄ ⁄@⁄ ▽ ⁄@⁄ ⁄)  I try my best on all of it, to keep developing and putting out better content, so... it means a lot to hear that ;v;

And heckin’ bless you for being interested in Alpha content-!! She doesn’t get as much love as some of the others so I’m beyond stoked to hear someone’s interested in her (ง •̀ ヮ•́)ง✧

I’ll put the answer below the cut to save dashes ♡

Okay, the answer to this totally depends on the ‘which date and when does this occur’, but I’ll go ahead and say this is a more lighthearted first date; Alpha, smooth and sassy operator that she is, has managed to score a date, and potential s/o knows that she’s genuinely interested to some degree (so this isn’t a ‘oh we’re just hanging out!’ misunderstanding situation, heh).

Also, disclaimer - I wouldn’t do this for most of the girls (as obviously the fic will involve their dates, so I don’t want to just spoil what’s to come!), but Alpha’s circumstances are a bit different for spoiler reasons, so this one’s the exception ;Dc

At this point, Alpha has developed her fully-detailed and full-sized robot body - she spends more time with friends in the physical realm after all (unlike her male counterpart, Q, who has a whole digital world/people/friends that he is based in/lives with). So she’s taking s/o out on a proper real-world date - no reality bending shenanigans (yet- you can bet she’s started working on VR that can digitize you and interact that way). Here’s how that might go:

Starts by arriving just five minutes early to pick you up; while she’s a casual person and would likely run a little late on average more than early, she’s not only intent on making a good impression, but also sneakily hoping to surprise you just a little early so she can see your fluster and get to banter with you while you finish getting ready.

She’s dressed well - robot body and all, a mix of casual but clearly dressed up too, obvious effort put in without looking try hard. Excellent fashion taste, frankly. Also, whatever cologne/perfume she’s wearing is subtle but freaking absurdly attractive. You literally have to stop yourself from leaning in to smell it.

From there she’s escorting you to her car - one she designed and built herself, wholly electric and renewable, and has the coolest design and vibe without being ostentatious.

Secretly, she totally made a playlist specific for this date, but won’t mention it - it plays in the background, both suited to your shared tastes and appropriate for energy level throughout the date whenever you’re in the car ;Dc

First up is some activity you have interest in, or would well suit your interests even if it’s a new thing; I won’t specifically say what as it’d depend person to person, but it could range from anything like: special show at the aquarium where you get to interact with the animals, blacklight minigolf, a two-person escape room, one of those delightful interactive science museums that’s an adult playground basically, or even something like a pottery class where you get to work together and drink wine or etc etc ;D

The first activity key is something fun, but something you can be close to one another with, involved in the activity, but still have conversation (thus she’s not picking a concert/movie/comedy show/etc for this first one).

Next up, once you’re delighted and possibly just worn out enough to have worked up an appetite, she drives you to dinner ;)c the sun’s setting, she’s picked a place that’s right up your personal alley, and has a great view. A lot of time is spent here, lingering well after the food’s done, having coffee/tea/another drink, so on, and just having great convo.

She walks you then, not back to her car, but to this little hole in the wall bakery - picks up an order, but doesn’t show it to you. Winks and takes your hand, escorting you onwards. Makes some jokes about the mystery of it but doesn’t answer any questions-

From there, she makes a couple other curious stops, doesn’t show you what she’s pickin gup; but the route you take is really picturesque, and easy walk through a lovely part of town that’s meant to be walked through, especially at night as the lanterns shift the atmosphere and so on.

At last you get back to the car, the playlist transitioning slightly, better setting a intimate but not too crossing-the-line mood; probably has a mild jazzy vibe.

You head a little out of town until she pulls out onto a back road, unlocks a barrier, and continues down the road - if you try and get answers she just grins and winks at you-

Finally, she pulls to a stop - but the windows go black (high tech car and all) before you can see. She gets out first, telling you to close your eyes before she opens your door for you - keep em closed - and she takes your hand at last once she opens the door and you’ve complied, heh. She then sweeps you off your feet, startling you- but laughs and tells you to keep em closed-

She walks for a bit, and finally you’re set back on your feet - a few seconds pass and you’re allowed to open your eyes-!

You’re on a picturesque lookout, an old abandoned observatory behind you - no telescope anymore, but the dome still remaining. Alpha recently purchased the land, and wanted to show you most of all-

She gestures in the direction opposite the building, and you can see for ages, on just the other side of the mountains from the glow of the city - the starry night sky stretching above you for ages, as unimpeded as you’ve ever seen it. The things she picked up are revealed, including dessert, a chilled artisan version of your favorite drink, a specially bound book that appears to be of constellations and their meanings (and, if you’re into astrology, she’s also had it hand tailored to include information on the history and rise thereof in relation to the stars - if not, then it’s just focused on a layman’s view and potential interest in them.)

You spend the rest of the date with her, eating the dessert (your favorite), enjoying the specially selected drink and flipping through the pages of the book, and Alpha continues making jokes with you as she points out constellations and talks more with you on all kinds of topic, the atmosphere growing closer all the while~

And, Alpha being the slick lady she is... well, she’s already been friends with you for a while at this point; don’t be surprised if you wind up thoroughly kissed under the stars, her jacket over your shoulders, and a soft playlist that set the mood just perfectly playing in the background. ♡♡♡
