036 Orphic Fracture

» Um....

» The Forerunners?

She isn't entirely sure. Being stuck with the Humans makes such information difficult to obtain.

» Reggy?

She doesn't remember that his name is Jon.

» He was trying to make protocols to prevent an outbreak...

She wobbles from side to side before pulling back.

» Orphic does not know!

The words are almost a wail as she turns this way and that.

» Not enough see sensors. Not enough data. Not enough. Not—

» What do we do Human?

The Sentinel bobs excitedly.

» Yes. Friend.

» The Naughty is...

She turns side to side before drifting closer. Almost butting into Fred's head.

» Fl...ᶠˡᵒᵒᵈ

» 𝘖𝘳𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤 is friend.

» unless you're not—

» Unimportant! The Naughty has returned!

» The return of the Naughty?

» The Naughty has returned

» Orphic is cute!

» Orphic wasn't made to look after a ring, silly.

» Orphic does what she pleases! Sometimes.

» Nobody messes with Orphic.

» Orphic will look after engines.

» I will.

» I'll make them better too!

It's very well done! It's even signed by 'definitely not Orphic'.

» So.

» Can we have new machine?

« Everyone tells me he's no good
He doesn't love me like he should, »

OC for IHNMAIMS
MUN / MUSE are 20+
Dark Themes present

« I would forget him if I only could
He's a demon, He’s a devil, He’s a doll! »

» Then Orphic will make it the new standard issue!

She proceeds to forge the paperwork before sending it to him.

» But it could be better!

» New standard.

» New... Issue?

» Tea?

» Orphic forgot to upgrade the tea machine...

» This Human seems very... distressed

Orphic follows them up, still tilted to the side.

» How did you miss?

» Step is right there...

She tilts further to the side.

» This is why floating better.

» You missed a step?

The Sentinel tilts, looking from their crumpled form and to the step.

» But, it's not missing. It's right there...

» Oh. Good.

The poking stops as the Sentinel floats closer to their head.

» Why do you embrace the floor?

» Human?

She pokes a little harder.

» Are you well?

Hovers over and pokes them.

The Humans broke the coffee machine, so she's fixing it. Again.

» So many return.

» When is it his turn?

She definitely didn't put mulled wine in the coffee machine.

Quiet giggling as she tries to put a fluffy red and white hat on her main Sentinel.

It keeps falling off.

» But...

» Orphic upgraded coffee machine...
