was thinking about the contrast between engies entries like ohh I'm the big mastermind surviving this scary world and snippy's describing him as a twitchy freak that refuses to speak to him

I CAN SEE THE PAST AND THE FUTURE AS ONE ALSO A HONEY BEE HOLDING A GUN

romac ponies ^_^

some notes:

- snippy has no cutie mark. Sad !!

- i 100% meant to make gromov a unicorn but forgot to give him a horn until it was too late. so we’re just going to say that it’s covered under his hair

- pilot has a vaguely airplane-shaped scar where his cutie mark used to be

- huge shoutout to L for bringing up blankflank snippy you’re a genus for it

bonus annet:

DUNGEONS AND DIRECTORATES

Entry 1: HELLO? CAN I SPEAK WITH YOUR MANAGER?

(Profile pic by Vitaly S. Alexius)

___

The air was bitingly cold, as usual. I struggled to run through the snow. Just a moment ago, I had caught sight of Seven entering an old office building. I didn't know where my other 'compatriots' were, but nevermind them. I had to reach Seven!

Zee had just stepped into the manager's office when I reached the building. I clung to the doorway, struggling to catch my breath.

"Capt- I mean, Seven!" I corrected myself, "I must speak with you! Immediately!"

"IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, ASK MY ASSISTANT!" Seven called from the office before slamming the door shut.

To the side, two green lenses slid into view. Pilot was behind a desk, typing rapidly on a keyboard while somehow balancing three phones against his head.

"Y-"

"OOOOOOOONE MOMENT!" Pilot shouted, before pushing a button on one of the old phone receivers, then frantically scribbling something on a piece of paper, all while STILL tapping away at the keyboard.

"This is-"

"SHHH!" Pilot held up a finger, "Uhuh? Mhm?" He spoke into one of the phones, "Sorry, I'm NOT INTERVESTED!" He slammed a different one back onto the reciever. "Your Call is Important to Us, Please Hold." He spoke with a nigh perfect American accent into the third.

This was ridiculous. Why was I waiting on him? I would try to talk to Seven myself, but I had no doubt that zee's lackey would be ordered to manhandle me. He might possibly even throw me out the window. Sure, we were on the ground floor, but broken glass is dangerous! And I didn't want to be thrown.

"Wut are youuu HERE for?" Pilot finally asked, waggling a finger at me.

"I must speak with Seven!"

"Zee's most divine, opulent excellency is busy. Have a nice day!" Pilot waved me off.

"What?! Seven is not busy!" I argued across desk.

"Bup-bup-bup!" Pilot silenced me as he picked one of the phones back up. He then proceeded to go into a long sales pitch for trash can lids as an effective and cheap pie-tin alternative.

I stamped my foot in anger. I HAD to speak with Seven... But it seemed I would first need to distract zeer contemptible second-in-command.

"Pilot!" I shouted, and the man went dead-still. He slowly, eerily turned his head to look at me. I realized that I had gotten ahead of myself. I had no lie prepared.

"There's, ah..."

The green goggles were unwavering, bug-like... There was no telling what went on behind them.

"There's a fire!" I lied, "And all the, ah...puppies and kitties in the building are going to be burned down! Unless you save them!"

Pilot turned to look out the giant, broken glass windows.

"I sees no fire." He muttered.

"It's, ah..." Damnit! This is when having Snippy around would have come in handy. I was loathe to admit it, but that man was much better at improv than I.

"I'll be right back." I left.

"PILOT!" I shouted, "There's the fire!" I pointed at the building in view which now had smoke pouring from it's windows.

"Oh noes!!!" Pilot lept up from his seat.

"Yes! There are baby cats and dogs in there! They need your help!" I goaded him on.

"I'll save those cool cats from their melty demise!" Pilot shouted as he lept over the desk in one swift movement, then began to sprint towards the burning building at a frightening pace.

Seeing how quick he was made me think twice about my plan- but no! I had to act now! I steeled myself and marched through the office door.

"Seven!" I called.

"AH, ENGIE!" Seven responded from where zee was reclined in a chair, legs resting on the manager's desk, "HOW GOES PROJECT 'TURN ZEE MOON INTO AN INSIDE-OUT DONUT'?"

"What? I don't know what you're talking about. Now listen to me!" I pulled out a map and held it up, "I have uncovered something dreadful!"

"OHO?" Seven replied interestedly from zeer chair.

I pointed at the map,

"The recent gravitational anomaly caused pieces of the dead zone to fall into the city," I tapped one spot highlighted in yellow, "We are here," I circled the multiple purple spots on the map, "And these are the misplaced deadzones I have discovered!" (-and some that Snippy had reported, but that was extraneous info)

"We must leave this part of the city before we get boxed in by dead zones!" I finished.

"HMMMM." Seven arched zee's fingers, leaning forward in zeer seat, "AN INTRIGUING PROPOSAL."

I lowered the map, anxiously. There was no doubt in my mind that we would all perish if we were trapped by the deadzones... Even if Seven's luck were to extend to those near zee, there was no telling what would happen if we got separated -and that had been happening a lot as of late.

"OKAY!" Seven finally announced. I let out the breath I was holding.

"HOWEVER!" Zee stood up and gingerly took the map from me, "WE MUST FIRST CHART A COURSE! AND I KNOW JUST HOW TO DO IT..."

From above the top edge of the map, purple lenses peered at me, piercing like needles into the very fabric of my being.

"...AND YOU ARE GOING TO HELP :) "

[gooeygummi]

Gotta give smooches to your squadmates and Captain sometimes

[zeepilot]

[thesugarhole]

uhh something from last year that i finish reorganizing just now... enjoy (or not) pilot has the most because this started as me wanting to do a whole ass fake cd design aiodifgkf i know i wont get around to it anytime soon though. ps im not arbitrarily assigning theme songs to the non main four characters, its just me wanting to include a lil something from the actual album.

edit: 'girls' by marina is supposed to be under infi and not captain since its like. the core opposite of captain's etiquette aosksiaka

taking this edit chance to mention that the playlist linked under engie is the one @iamphibolous made, its got pretty good gromov-core tracks. i can't link atm but im sure itll show up if you search it on spotify

[kkkkkkkitty]

THANK YOU for the very kind tags...I greatly enjoy your first impression of Engie & will be personally viewing it that way from now on. I looooove when people say that she looks eerie ! I think she's incredibly eerie by nature and am crestfallen that her canonical design doesn't reflect her creepiness...Like she's this near-omnipotent world-embodying person shaped higher power which is like so fundamentally divorced from the human experience that she claims to be a servant to. she projects this air of grace & alien benevolence that makes her sort of angelic to me. & the way that that interacts with like the petty fake-nice corporate slime that she crawled out of...I mean come on humanity had no chance of coming out of that alive & well. What if God was Alexa. I dotn know...

The way that ANNET's whole deal sort of refracts Engie's is also super interesting (to me), but this post will be long enough already so I won't go try to go over all of my thoughts I'll try to be blunt about it. He wants to save the world & he wants that kind of divine power that ANNET has, but it's an incredibly juvenile & human want. This guy thinks he's some Superman Bruce Wayne amalgamate. He doesn't *quite* get it. He doesn't have the scope, I think. & he is a huuuuuge coward pissboy with a bee allergy. Captain is a reconciliation between the two. Zee harbors genuine fondness for human beings while not being so human zeerself (?) that zeer shortcomings stunt zeer, like Engie's. Captain win !

First image is my dumb little design of the Biomatrix for my old scrapped RomAc rewrite :] I think I prefer the original suit clad fungus animal skull type beast, but this design caters to my sensibilities so I have more fun drawing it. Scribbliness likely did NOT help. But it was fuuuun !
