playing soccer using a worker drone's head.

yawn.. powering on. he's been resting.

"Yeah.. thanks, K. Like, really."

"I needed that. I really, really did."

Dragging himself awake.

He isn't dead, so that's something.

".."

"Huh. So that's what sleep feels like."

"Thanks, Blake."

Seems like there was plenty of time.

He could sleep soundly, and ' Blake ' had plenty of time to rest too. No sun in sight, and just silence between the two.

How nice.

"Thank you."

Just like that, he powers down, letting his body go still and limp in the snow. It was evident that his body desperately needed the cooling, judging by the faint steam starting to form beneath him. But at least he's resting peacefully, now.

[ Sorry about the delayed reply. Got busy. ]

"Uh huh.."

"Yeah. That makes a lot more sense.. thanks, friend. Got to thinkin' a bit, and as my analytical brain does, I wanted an answer to my question. And you.. honestly hit the nail on the head. I'll do more research, but.."

"You did me quite a favor, N. Thank you."

- to puppies? What? You're losin' me.."

Studying the photos intently. He actually seems quite interested.. not every day do you learn about something like that. Especially since he's never seen a puppy in his entire life.

"Woah.. they're adorable! Never heard of em before.. must've been living under a rock."

"But how does love relate -

"What's.."

"What's a puppy??"

He definitely doesn't. His only exposure would be through anime, if anything.

"What does love feel like..?"

"You don't seem to be trying to.. murder me or flay me in cold blood. So I'm not worried.. but that could be partially due to the exhaustion, too."

"Look.. I'm probably gonna pass out in the next few seconds. Can you like.. guard me? Keep watch over me so I don't burn to a crisp if the sun comes?"

"A tail..?"

"..Are we dead###?"

"You're a.."

"Disassembly Drone." He stumbled on his words a bit.. the exhaustion was creeping up on him, yet he was wide awake. Despite the signs, he didn't seem scared at all.

"Huh.. wish you would've just told me. I ain't scared of ya.."

"No, it's.."

"I'm not seeing anything. My hands are fine, everything around you is fine.."

Poke, poke. Furthering his point.

"It's just you. So, I'll ask again.. are you good? Is everything alright?? Maybe my system is.. no, no."

"The hell..?"

"I can sleep later.. it doesn't seem like it's me, cus everything else looks fine. Just.. you."

He squinted slightly, leaning forward as if trying to get a better look. Waving his hands a little, just to make sure it wasn't any sort of distortion..

"Yeah, no, that's all you.. the hell?"

"Seeing.. things?"

"I might be seeing shit already. Are you.. good? You're glitching out n shit.."

"Dude, are my optics alright?? Hooooly.."

Rubbing his visor as if he had actual eyes. He couldn't tell whether or not his optics were deceiving him, or if the other was actually.. glitching.

"Maybe that's why my mental state has been on the fritz.. no sleep to keep me in check. Yeesh.. well, it's good to know now. Didn't even know we could go into sleep mode, honestly. That's how much of an afterthought it was." He snorted, fluffing out his hair a bit.

"Yeah.. I'm gonna sleep."

"Yeah, you're probably right. I'm always moving n' shit, so having time to sit down or lay down n sleep is.. next to none."

"It's uh.. definitely a thing, y'know? Didn't think we'd be hit by sleep fatigue too. Thought that was a human-only problem.. guess not. Even us Worker Drones need some rest."

"Ah.. good question, actually. Lemme check."

[ Calculating... ]

[ NEVER, DIP$#@& ]

"Ah. So.. I haven't. Maybe that's why I'm so out of it.. that, and the constant Solver usage to keep making things?"

"Yeah, no wonder. I'm just ASKING to overheat in the middle of work, huh?"

"Yeesh."

Staring at his hands.

"General bad vibes, I think. Nothing in particular has me tense, I'm just.."

"Out of it."

Distant gaze, but not at his hands. It was like he was looking through his hands, almost like they were magnifying glasses to the snow beneath.

"...my bad."

"Zoning out."

"..Probably. That's the first time I was ever asked that, honestly." Screw sighed.

"I dunno. Just pretty out of it t'day, y'know? It's weird."

Smacking himself with his right hand.

[ EDGINESS LEVELS REDUCED. ]

"My bad. I had a rough day."

Screw is definitely a little pressed today..

"Don't let me catch you smiling again. Shit ain't sweet. Wipe that smile off your face, [Reader]."

[ 🐐 - Pspspsps. Yummy interaction bait. ]

[ 🐐 - This little idiot won't know what hit em. ]

[ 🐐 - teehee. ]

man. nagi is really cool..

devouring an oilbar.

"This Isagi dude is cool as h-"

typical isagi crashout.

"..nevermind."

"..wish I could watch this with someone. It'd be funny as hell, I bet.."

watching some pirated anime. this one is about soccer..

some dude is talking about being a "striker" or sum'.

face down in the snow.. snooooore. out cold.
