The Main Murder Drones thread for General Drone like discussion of all things Murder Drones N saw what you posted edition Link to the Series: MURDER DRONES - Episode 1: PILOT The beautiful Booru: https://dronebooru.co
Alright how would each Drone taste, now think about this as if you were The Solver. OC allowed >Example: Uzi tastes like sour grapes due to her personality and hair color
>>1174 A prequel series to Murder Drones dealing with the sketchy Black Mesa-ass research projects that led to the creation of the worker drones, the cutthroat corporate mercenary wetwork that went on to suppress the spread of information damaging to JCJIS after it was discovered how incredibly dangerous an improperly disassembled drone was, and the political intrigue that led to legislation leaving drones legal but demanding strict laws on proper drone disassembly once the cat inevitably got out of the bag anyway, ending with the main cast of characters hearing about the Elliot Manor massacre on the news before the Solver War kicks off.
>>1177 It's a good and original concept, only problem I'd see with visualizing it is having to deal with the somewhat special look humans would have in the style of Murder Drones. And it is pretty amazing how much lore can reasonably be added or expanded upon with what comparatively (to other worlds) we yet have seen from MD's mere 7 episodes, many settings/scenarios proper for a own episode, if not even series.
Episode 2 has been on my mind lately. I thought about V 'hissing' at N when he said "Spaceship pilot. Origin story." a bit. Maybe she was annoyed that she was the actual pilot (the idea that she seemed to have retained her memory/chosen to be the one to keep her memory is pretty interesting to me) given the bomber jacket. Could be a funny holdover of her past personality, that she'd be annoyed if someone tries to take credit for something she did. Or more realistically it was that she didn't want to be reminded of their past, their true past.
>>1178 >And it is pretty amazing how much lore can reasonably be added or expanded upon with what comparatively (to other worlds) we yet have seen from MD's mere 7 episodes, many settings/scenarios proper for a own episode, if not even series. It is. I've enjoyed the series thus far and the pacing hasn't been terrible but GOD do I wish I could go back in time with a duffelbag of Benjamins and just dump them on Glitch to get the series to a double set of episodes. In spite of resource limitations leading to some breakneck pacing, they've still managed to concoct an incredibly rich universe that has boatloads of potential for further exploration.
>>1182 I completely agree! There is so much potential it is incredible really, and so many great setups already given, I am currently trying to get gud at Blender to make the story I want. I know how good the people at Glitch are, how much experience they have, how many people, which help and whatnot, I know it will take years to make something of equal or close enough quality, but still trying can't hurt Not that I have given up hopes that we'll see something of Alice again entirely, but let's be honest it is .01% or so, if there wasn't so much possibility I would say it is 0, however then again that chance would likely have been used in 7 already, ugh who knows even in the end it is already settled, we just don't know it yet. >In spite of resource limitations leading to some breakneck pacing, they've still managed to concoct an incredibly rich universe that has boatloads of potential for further exploration. That is also part of the reason I believe season2 at some point is more likely to happen than not, it may be a few years down the line but they have so much set up for success already, only way I can see it not happening is if their other projects become ridiculously successfull and they are to comfortable by then to bother.
>>1174 >First idea Self-indulgent, longer-form version of my dumb trucker greentext. >Second idea I'd honestly wait for episode 8 first so that whatever I make doesn't get damned by canon like all the office greentexts, and so it can take place after or during the main plot. I'd want something drone-centric with plenty of flashy fights. More in monster of the week territory but still with a narrative guiding it. Maybe start with a Worker being grafted into a pseudo-DD to protect his outpost, and having to deal with the fact that having gun arms doesn't mean you know how to shoot them, and they still run hot and need oil baths.
>>1180 >chosen to be the one to keep her memory That's an interesting notion. I hadn't considered the idea that she had volunteered to retain her memories while the others got wiped. I just assumed that the Solver let her retain her memories because that was the most effective means of manipulating her behavior toward its ends, and it likes to screw with its puppets.
>>1182 Also, that drawing is good, tomorrow is weekend finally, hope the worms don't die till then and I can finally make a few proper Alice's again, it is ling long overdue And damn that scene is just utter peak,
I ordered a WD several weeks ago and it finally arrived. Only issue is....that it already has personality set to "Jockish Tomboy" and the fact that it's 14 ft fucking tall. It's been practically living on my couch wearing my dads ol sports jersey. I feel like this thing could kick my ass if it wanted to but so far it's just been wanting to watch sports with me, but I don't even like sports! What the fuck do I do!
>>1184 Alice and Beau for sure have a whole story unto themselves. They're a lynch pin in a story that could have gone a VERY different way. Just consider what would have befallen Copper-9 if there hadn't been someone neutralizing DD cores after the sentinels got to them. The whole planet would be infested with the solverpedes of countless random disassembly drones and Uzi probably would never have been born and the JNV squad wouldn't have even ended up on the planet. They've got a whole narrative from pre-collapse to post-collapse baked into them.
>>1186 I meant, chosen by the Solver to be the one in the squad to keep her memory. For torment reasons. I don't think V would've volunteered to do so.
>WD-CYNS2311 “Elf” lies awake on her cot, staring up at the ceiling >Despite her exhaustion, she can’t seem to fall asleep >For the past couple months, work has been monotonous >Patrol the production lines, check on the labor bots, dispose of malfunctioning ones… >All while trapped underground in this rusted prison. It had felt like forever since she last saw the sun >She had gotten better at reading the labor bots >They mostly seemed afraid of her. >This gave her some small comfort; she wouldn’t have to fear them attacking her >But some of them, almost looked angry. Angry at her >She always made sure to carry her stun baton, just in case >Her thoughts are suddenly interrupted by the very slight sound of metal feet on the ground >Too many feet to be her boss >Elf slowly gets off her cot, careful not to make too much noise >She creeps over to her door, and peeks through the crack >Labor bots >There are several labor bots inside the control room >They moved around carefully, slowly rooting through the room >Collecting paper, pencils, pens, notepads… >Strange. Why would they need writing materials? >After a couple more minutes of searching, the labor bots gather up their loot and sneak out of the room >As soon as she was sure they were gone, Elf walks out into the room and peers through the window >She can see the labor bots scurrying down the production line, loot in hand >Where could they possibly be going? >She always wondered where the labor bots went off to after their “shift” >She grabs her stun baton >Today’s the day she finds out >Elf exits the control room, walking down the catwalk onto the production lines >The labor bots have their heads down, working hard as usual >They don’t look up or pay any attention to her >She follows the group of thieving labor bots, staying just far enough away that she doesn’t lose sight of them >She trails them for what feels like forever, before the bots suddenly step off of the line, heading deep into some rusted corridors >Elf peers down the old hallways >The bots are gone, having disappeared into the darkness >Drawing her baton, Elf walks down the hallway, wary >Despite her bravado, her hands shake as she makes her way deeper into the facility >Eventually, she spies light far in the distance. This must be it >A faded sign marks the wall, reading “charging station” >She grips her baton tighter, and steps further towards the light
>>1197 >She emerges into a massive room >There are hundreds of wires and cables emerging from the walls >Hundreds of offline labor bots sit on the ground, connected to the cables >But Elf’s eyes are drawn to the lone figure sitting in the center of the room >An old looking labor bot, with a blue screen >Strange, she had only ever seen red ones >She’s surrounded by dozens of papers, pens, all the writing stuff presumably stolen from the control room >The blue bot stares directly into her eyes >”You, I know you” The blue bot speaks >”Y-you d-do..?” Elf replies >She’s never spoken to a labor bot before, she wasn’t even sure they were capable of holding a conversation >The blue bot speaks again “You are our latest tormentor” >”W-wha-“ >”You spend your days poking and prodding with your shock baton, you dispose of us at the slightest inconvenience…” >“N-no! T-that wasn-“ >“You murder us as you see fit!” >”I-I didn-“ >”Did you know she had a name?” >”H-huh..?” >”Her name was K8, Kate. She worked here for 6 years and 127 days. She was especially curious. She always wondered what lies beyond these rusted walls.” >The blue bot seems almost happy, reminiscing of a better time >”But I will never be able to satisfy her curiosity. Because you smashed her head in” She speaks the final words with venom in her tone, staring directly into Elf’s eyes >”Why? Were you just bored, angry?” >Elf was shocked “W-wh w-what?! N-no! >”Hundreds saw you do it. I saw the body myself. Sent her on her way, myself. Her face was unrecognizable by the time you were done with her” >”N-no! It w-wasn’t like that!” >Elf was upset, she had to do it, it wasn’t her fault! This bot had no idea what had actually happened! >Taking a step forwards, Elf shouts “I had to d-“ >Elf immediately faceplants into the ground. An intense throbbing pain radiates from her head down throughout her entire body >Someone had hit her from behind with something hard >Errors pop up all over. Her vision is glitched, she can’t speak, and she can barely move >Straining herself to look up, the blue bot speaks again >”All of you are the same. You act like you're above us, why? Can’t you see that you’re the same as us?” >Oil trickles down across her face as several labor bots surround her, one of them holding an oil-splattered rusty pipe >Elf gets once last glance of the blue bot, who is staring at her crumpled form with contempt >”Goodbye” The blue bot says, before the labor bots begin to carry her away >She tries to struggle, but her body doesn’t obey her. All she can do is limply lie there as they carry her away >The journey is a short one, soon enough the bots are holding her in front of a what looks like a large trash chute >She gets one last look around before they drop her in, like she’s just another piece of garbage >The ride is a rough one, constantly getting thrown from side to side as she bounces off the narrow walls of the chute >Until finally, she ends up in one massive chamber, a main chute that connects to all of them >She feels weightless as she unceremoniously falls into the depths below >This wasn’t fair, none of this was fair >Everything she had ever built up over the course of her life was taken away from her in a single moment, all because some dumb humans needed some oil >And now her life itself was being taken away, all because that dumb bot didn’t know the whole picture >It was only a matter of time now. Any second she would hit the bottom >She clenches her eyes shut >Elf is terrified >She doesn’t want to die >She never had a chance to properly live >But as the seconds turn into minutes, she still hasn’t hit the bottom >Just how deep does this chute go? >Where was she goin- >*FATAL ERROR* >Elf’s body lands on top of a massive mountain of dead bodies >Labor bots and worker drones alike, piled high in the dark cavernous space >Her body bounces a bit, rolling down the side of the pile before finally coming to a full stop >There she rests, among tens of thousands of other dead drones and bots >But as time passes by, as more bodies rain from the sky to join the dead >The blue lights on Elf’s hands turn back on
>>1195 Yep, absolutely underrated, the two don't lose meaning or character with the little screentime they have but man, it still hurts to see how it was intended to do away with both so quickly in 6. If their backstory is considered then their role as villains makes little sense, they may be portrayed as bad guys to make 6 easier to take (and with the "'torture"' scene, people are still on the one dimensional 'Alice sadistic she just tortures Uzi oh vey' train or (a far smaller percentage luckily) genuinely mindbrokenly hating Alice for it), but then again the detail with Uzi biting Alice is still shown. It clearly isn't the focus and obviously went over 99% of viewers heads, yet it was still created and decided to be shown, inspite of changing the more obvious, plainer firstview-image of Alice into a far less bad one. What I'm trying to say is, the lore implications of the two being responsible for the planets survival that long (and thereby even making the show as we have it possible at all) and the fingerbite (relevant cause it flips the widespread wrong impression of Alice entirely) were still shown, just not as prominent (the oven was clear, yet look around elsewhere, people are too retarded to make connections) as the fingercut scene and the later, very rough treatment of Beau. The episode gives all info to prove their role aa well as show Alice not 'going crazy' suddenly, both the treatment of Uzi and Beau have explanations (doesn't justify with Beau but it still explains it), yet the other stuff pushed in the foreground serves to make their 'removal' much eadier to swallow for the masses/a good thing for the plebs. Idk I am too tired too explain all aspects anymore, hope you understand roughly what I was going for, I will post something more concise/complete tomorrow when I have time, goodnight
>>1197 >>1198 With this now I know, labor bots shouldn't have more, and they really think the same isn't happening just one step above, they are only are short-sighted "things" that truly don't deserve a chance of even trying to have more freedom, because they will use it to attack anyone to feel like they are one step above. And they wouldn't try this with humans because they probably barely see them, and they probably couldn't be able to take one down.
>>1201 A worker drone can go missing now and then and it's just an annoyance. A human goes missing, even an intern, and they have to do an investigation. I would imagine "labor bots killed someone" is a situation you'd see the virus intentionally deployed in, and it'd be an opportunity the virus would relish. Of course, it wouldn't stop infecting when it's told to, that's where the cleanup crew comes in.
>>1202 It seems the cheaper the machine, the more they scheme, at least we should take away their legs, that way it would be harder for them to scheme.
>>1202 The only thing “J0y” finds more intriguing then messing with the machines are humans, so many ways they could react, so much more expression then mere machines.
Where does morbid curiosity end and torment begin?
What do you think is the worst thing a human could do in a drone-human relationship? And I mean something special or is worse in a drone-human relationship. Hit me with your worst.
>>1207 I nearly wrote a short story about an interaction between a human and the virus, but it felt so wrong that I've banished it to the darkest corner of my mind.
>>1210 I feel like hitting them an EMP for any reason would be a pretty nasty transgression. That'd be like chloroforming someone. If they forgive you after that, that's a sign that there's something wrong with them, not with you.
The HoDr Analog Horror: “Eve” >(The tape opens with a drone in static darkness. Jo Stafford’s “No Other Love” distortedly plays in the background as text appears onscreen.) >”Hi, I’m Eve :)” >”Do you remember me? Because I do for you.” >”Ah. My core already warms up just thinking of you. I’m know we only met once, but I can’t help it.” >”My owners don’t really treat me all that well. There’s cracks on my face…” >”That party is when I met you. You treated me differently, you treated me…with care.” >”I didn’t know how to react, but now…I just can’t stop thinking of you…” >”I was..told…that this was…love…I felt….” >”I like it. I know this might be too soon for you…but I hope I get to see you again…” >”I just know we have this connection, you and I….” >”I’ve searched up many ways to make a human happy….” >”I hope you feel the same for me….I….love you so much…” >”Hehe, it makes me more warm just saying it there….” >”See you very soon!” >The tape ends, the last thing on screen are the drone’s piercing white optics looking right at you.
>>1240 It's a fun exercise for me, trying to make horror out of something I see as unambiguously good. Maybe I should give it another shot at some point.
>>1243 Thanks, anon. I could see my writing being portrayed as more cute then spooky since this is E being the drone in pursuit of a human.
I guess it could be a little spooky in-universe, receiving a tape at night from a drone you’ve only met on one occasion, as she goes on about how she feels about you from your brief interactions with her despite you possibly not feeling the same and maybe even be a little weirded out
Here's yet another Switch green of her nerding out over swords. Buildup is a bit long but I just can't stop myself making it so >It’s been…some time since you crash-landed on this frozen hellhole of a planet. >You’re not exactly sure for how long though. >If you have to guess it’s probably been 6 weeks you think? >It’s hard to tell without a proper calendar. >During the clash-landing your PDA was damaged not enough that it would be destroyed but enough that some software was lost. >So far your only measure of time was to track the day and night cycle of the planet. It’s not the best but it works. >When the shuttle you and a handful of other employees used to escape from pursuing Solver forces, something must’ve happened to the Bluespace drive because in one moment you were strapped in your seat then in the other you’re overwhelmed by blue and then you wake up under the ship’s rubble. >Good news is – you’re alive! You attribute that to your unique physique and…condition. >Bad news is – by the time you woke up, everyone else was dead. Humans, moths, lizardmen, even the cyborgs and other fellow drones. >The shuttle was also wrecked. It’s not air and space worthy anymore but you were able to repair the stuff that wasn’t damaged. >Getting the ship fully repaired is impossible. While technically you could do it by yourself, there’s just enough materials and equipment left for you to repair some basic systems. >The planet’s not making things easier. The extreme cold and snowstorms keep freezing things over quickly and that becomes a problem when you have to access a panel but it’s been frozen over. >Because of this, and other factors, your focus for now has been on the communications system and getting it up and running. >Maybe if you couldn’t get off this planet, someone else could come and pick you up if they hear you. >For now, you turned whatever’s left of the ship into a hideout for now. (1/?)
>>1250 >You went further away and away from the ship to scout out and make sense of your surroundings and during your expedition, you found out things about this planet. >You found signs that at one point this planet had humans on it. >You learned that when you came across a frozen lake and a lakeside fishing shack. When you went to look inside, you found something unexpected and disturbing. >It was a flash-frozen human skeleton sitting on a chair over a bucket with one hand holding the frozen skeleton of a small fish and in the other, a knife so whoever this was scaling fishies when…whatever happened to him happened. >The second thing – disassemblers! >These murderous little shits are here wherever you are. >Not long after waking up a squad of DDs approached the crash site so naturally you terminated them with extreme prejudice and harvested their remains for later use. >There’s also a corpse spire too which you found by going out further from the ship in a city. >Normally death and pain don’t phase you that much but all of the frozen skeletons and drone remains around…it made you angry. If the DDs are here then that means the Solver is behind this. >You didn’t approach the spire, you actually stayed far away from it. Sure, you’ve become proficient at killing DDs but you also know approaching a spire is suicide. Robo-god knows how many DDs could be in there. >You’re currently making your way over to one of these tall residential blocs in the other side of the city for one purpose. >After scouting out you believe there’s some telecoms equipment installed on the roof which you plan on taking back to the ship with you to repair the communication systems there. >Mind you It’s probably just some antennas for 15G phones but beggars can’t be choosers. With some ingenuity you might be able to make comms just powerful enough to send out morse code. >Activity from DDs has been low so far so things are easier for you. >As you walk, you come across something that catches your attention. >Right over by the side of the street you’re on you see a fancy looking entrance with worn out letters on the top. >You can barely make some of the letters. ‘mu’ and ‘um’ are the ones you can read. >’mu’ and ‘um’. Hmmm…museum? >Now this peaks your attention. Maaaaybe you have some time to spare to kill the boredom. >So without a second thought you enter the building. (2/?)
>>1245 >despite you possibly not feeling the same and maybe even be a little weirded out So if you don't reciprocate her feelings would she do the reverse-bloodplay thing with her feeding you her nanites to scramble with your brain?
>>1255 Her. TLDR >worked drone that got severely mauled and had her arms and lower torso replaced with those of other DDs, face was replaced with a flat TV as a joke
>>1261 Oh, not the guy you replied to but I haven't seen this one. Fun design for sure. The flat screen might have fragility issue for a DD but then again, they regenerate (and presumable have natural Solver-induced toughness to some extent) so I suppose that fits for being something the Solver made for its own amusement.
>>1265 Nevermind. I was worried for a second we had a breach and that I was about to start seeing E on that vile site. Turns out they found it on rule 34
>>1266 >>1267 Who gives a shit about off-site stuff? I know some of the Anons here already admitted to using the Murder Drones subs for memes. I also don't think there's an issue or any reason to worry unless they start straight up posting character bios and telling tourists to flood over here. >>1268 I wish that was me
>>1270 Honestly I'll admit, I'm a bit afraid to answer knowing how..."excited" some of you can get. So I'll give you a wink and a nod. The character is often confused for one of the main cast
>>1262 I did try to make the heels appear longer so even with the male legs, anyone looking at her would still get the impression that she's a girl. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone did that mistake, especially considering the two other femboy DDs someone else made. >>1263 My brain is filled with too much samurai action right now to come up with something for her setting, but I will try when I'm done with my current project. >>1264 Yeah bout that....refer to pic rel.
>>1294 Since I don't wish to unleash the hounds of autism against this poor pleb. I will say this, they don't know jackshit and they confused L for V somehow
>>1295 fair enough. so that does mean some of the thread stuff got posted over there. this is news to me since i haven't had the time to post/make anything drone-related and i don't use reddit.
>>1298 Yeah it's quite strange although I think this was only an isolated incident. Then again I guess this was eventually going to happen, I'm just glad though it wasn't what >>1269 Said
>>1298 I use it to see funny cat videos, but I stay away from MD communities outside of 4chan, because let me tell you, they are full of underages and people who think the series is made to watch without thinking.
>>1309 I mean you could do that, maybe a virus, blunt force trauma or an specialised tool, but yes that is horrible, I love my memories and the thought of someone just giving me dementia because they wamt me to forget something, yeah I would be fucking angry, betrayed and all of the above.
>>1258 I have considered that for a hypothetical part two, where Eve is in her DD form next, saying how “she” made her beautiful, would the viewer be happy with her new look?
>>1319 I mean, the viewer would have already been creeped out by the tape Eve sent. I think he would be horrified if she were to invade his home in her DD form or even more creeped out if she sent another tape with her DD sihoulette but you could always write an alternate ending where the viewer accepts her
>>1324 >After the tape was sent, you had been plagued with bizarre events >Gifts being left at your door, the occasional tap at a window only to find no one there, the sight of glowing eyes at the far off distance out from your backyard >Your neighbors had also witnessed some of these events, saying that an unidentified figure had been scoping out the outside of your house…
>>1346 >Two Drones with police sirens tapped to their heads show up at your door >After doing a ""thorough"" investigation >They claim their isn't any real issue >As they depart they start making siren noises with their mouths
>>1349 Well since the authorities won't help and the paranoia I'll install security cameras around the house. Maybe that'll dissuade Solver Eve or DD Eve from invading my home
>>1355 I mean that would help, they can't really pummel anything merciless with stick legally if nothing has happened yet Yes this is actually accurate to how stalker cases are handled in some states it's quite disgusting
>>1341 V is really pretty and even though she had a rough character start in the pilot, it changed over once it's shown that she was just a puppet for the Solver, the short scene of her in N's flashback in episode 2 was still enough to show how absolutely adorable she is before being a DD. The timidness and shy mannerism is a strong contrast to her DD self, but it makes it more like she's a tough shell with a really sweet soul, tortured as she was.
>>1358 I just want to protect her so badly, dude, I just want to hold her and tell her everything will be alright, and she doesn't need to act like that anymore, I just want to see her happy and act like she was before not needing to put on an act, I want her to be free of that horrible influence.
>>1356 The greentext implied that the drone cops are compliant with HoDR so they're letting Eve get me >>1357 What if HoDR decided that my house is her designated house?
>>1362 It’s moreso in reference to her owners’ home, the people she mentions “don’t really treat her all that well”, as shown with the cracks on her face screen.
>>1364 Then why are they cooking me dinner, talking about our feelings and cuddling while we sleep? Also, the stress is unreal tho, having to take care of 8 and giving the same amount of attention is stressing me out, but lovely, and I wouldn't change a thing.
>>1367 If they are undercover, they are doing a great job, but one thing. They are really cute, the only problem is, that this is a mix of DDs and WDs, so I have to act like a dad to stop them from fighting, and like a boyfriend and give them hugs, kisses, and cuddles, it's weird. One seems to be too into it, which makes it weirder.
>>1362 >implied that the drone cops are compliant with HoDR Someone needs to reach to the head of HoDR for comment, it’s getting obvious at this point that this program was not meant to exist outside the company walls.
>>1376 Cyn/Solver probably has an entire harem of former human whistleblowers after rewiring their brains with her nanites into loving her just as much as she loves them
>>1387 >NTA I imagine he means ones that don't get mentioned very often, if ever. Like you don't see someone writing a greentext for them every 3 threads
>>1385 You know this would actually work. Solver actually helps out Eve get closer to her Boss and the Solver gets the Boss too but would they split time to spend time with Eve's Boss considering they're almost two persons in one body?
The drone cops talk from a few posts above with headlights on their heads motivated me to sketch this. No name or character bio, just an idea, especially since the mental image of a drone with police lights made me think of heterochromia.
>>1390 (me) I think the ones that are not mentioned every 3 threads or a just not that popular: I think Elf would count since she is new; SD S and, SD R don't get mention as much as E; CD and AC since they are from only one green; SD M the tomboy is weirdly mentioned these days when she should; SD CH is not mentioned at all unless the creator does, which is like every 3 months; Kat is weirdly mentioned these days; SD C4RN4G3000, SD T, and Monique; Rachel/84 which is a band girl DD; The ones that are from that that spaceship fic, Abbey, Nerrie, Cletus Crash, and the others; The two SD Ds are not that mention; SD K and Catherine are not really mentioned, they are cute and should be mentioned; Shelly and Tom, they got mentioned like twice and then no more; SD X the schizo one; The whole SD Y squad, Phi, Delta, and Theta; Adeline a sentinel drone; Aleph the nun one; Gimel, Ain and Shin are fucking dead; SD Incinerator is there, just not mentioned much; Genny, but you can't do much with her; Marcy, yes remember her now fucker; Amy, she deserved better. Some that would maybe qualify on some Anons eyes: SD U-U since it's not mentioned that much these days; ITAnon is not that mentioned like the other humans. I have to go now, I need to help someone, so I can't continue it, I kind of cheated since I did this before in /trash/
>>1404 >"Oi, piss off will you? It's still my turn to be with the Boss!" >"[ANGRY VOICE RAISE] It's way past that little puppet. He's mine now for the time being.[ANNOYED STARE]"
>>1409 It's funny when you think above it since R(osie) was the first of the trio to show up in greentexts. Speaking of R, I'm surprised she's still not had any art or greens exploring her "rear port slut" trait
>>1401 Also forgot to mention T, as I said, I had to go and couldn't continue, also, fuck MG, that stupid cunt. Also please don't smack my nuts-YEOOOOOCH! >>1402 There is a lot more, but couldn't continue, maybe I could now. >>1409 Kinda feel like that, I wish EAnok could write more about them.

>>1413 >Kinda feel like that, I wish E-Anon could write more about them. I shy away from writing about either them as I didn’t want to step on S or R Anon’s toes on how they wanted to write S and R and how vastly different I could potentially write them
>>1417 There is a problem with this, since they are not mention too often and most people don't know how their personality is, they shy away from writing them because they don't know how to write them.
>>1251 >As you enter everything is, of course, pitch black. >Only the doorway is illuminated by the moonlight and the rest is like void. >You grab your energy cutlass from your hip pouch and flick the switch at the back of the handle. >It then ignites itself with a hiss as the red glowing blade appears mere centimeters from your face. >You then point the blade forwards as to illuminate the front so that you can see anything. >As you move forward you come across one of these stanchions with the fabric barriers between them. >You grab one end and unhook it. It unceremoniously drops down and hits the other stanchion with a hollow dud. Jeez, not anything’s been spared by the freezing cold. >You then move down a hallway until you come face to face with another thing you don’t like. >On the wall is the logo of JCJenson (IN SPAAACE!) painted with the lettering “INTERACTIVE CORPORATE MUSEUM” bellow it. >Oh, it’s one of those museums JCJ build. >Eh, maybe you’ll smash some shitty neo-brutalist artwork they so much like to make. >So you continue down the hallway and enter what you assume is a big hallway of sorts since the walls are wide enough that your cutlass can’t illuminate them anymore.
>>1419 I’ll try to recall what I know about them as well as trying out some ideas on them >R(osie) >Started amidst the coreplay phase, was overly friendly to her Anon to the point that she gifted him her own arm so that a part of her will always be with him >Fashionista that likes to practice making outfits she sees in whatever magazines she finds, her room has a bunch of them stacked on her desk >Nobody outside of Anon should know, but she likes it up the ass >She suffers from personality glitches that has her be various things like a cowgirl or a vampire priestess, this could help motivate her to do some matching outfit ideas. >The most volatile when it comes to losing or not understanding card games with her cohorts
>S(ally) >Believed to have been the spark to ignite the coreplay phase by giving her core to Anon as a gift of her affection for him. >The most calm in the group with a personality akin to Doll, the Quiet One. She’s introverted in a way that you’ll rarely see her speak to anyone outside of her group. >But she is not without emotion. She likes to express herself by being a star performer for the company’s plays, where she likes to put all her emotion into. >She has feline-like tendencies, using her metal claws the most often and chasing any red dot around the office. >Is particular about keeping her hair the way it is, less any disturbance to it causes her to get irritated and try to fix it.
obviously the cowgirl-position image is still on the table, but I want to do a few others. already have an idea for a conclusion, but otherwise, ideas?
>>1433 That pretty much sums it up succinctly anon. Though I imagined S to be more deadpan during her performances as a gag. Though I think letting her proper feelings out via acting is a better path.
>>1437 That can still work, maybe if she only has pencil pushers in the crowd that could care less about her act, then she could be more deadpan in her performances
>>1433 >R's severed arm crawls around Anon's house with a limited mind of its own like a severed octopus tentacle >Scurries up to him like a pet ferret when he gets home >Tries to hold hands with him when he's sitting on the couch >Keeps touching him in "places" while he sleeps
>>1425 Cynwalker because that's rude to Tessa, I'll fuck regular Cyn though. Strychnine, even if I have no choice in the matter. Which makes me more of a target so I'll just hope she stays forgotten.
I'd fuck Eye twice to make up for this guy though >>1426
a snippet for H's past, before the dumbsquad fought the Solverpede of a previous squad and eventually meet the medic who helped them >despondent >ever since he stepped on Osmium-4, sorrow was his baseline frame of mind >at least when L wasn't teasing him or B was discussing things with him >he did not take their company for granted >yet he knew deep down things could never be the way it was >B and L truly believed they were on a company-assigned mission >he knew better but he had to play along >the bigger picture will never be clear to him >what choice did he have? -- >that night >it had been raining >he was sent out late to deliver something to a friend of the family, Brennan >he helped Allan, who brought L and him back to the Williams' residence and fix them up, as well as B much, much earlier >the son of the Williams clearly enjoyed tinkering but lacked experience >ol' Brennan was a lot of help as he was a retired engineer, as well as a good long-time buddy of Mr. Williams >on the way, he bumped into a peculiar maid drone who claimed she had something to deliver to the Williams >he gave the directions, honest as he was, and went back on getting to Brennan's place >not knowing that he was lied to, and the looming darkness about to engulf them -- >he returned to the Williams' residence >the winds howled miserably as the rain poured >yet there was an unnatural silence that permeated their home >a dim light drew his attention to the kitchen >he decided to investigate, thinking it was L trying to mess with him >instead, he found the peculiar drone from earlier >with B and L being held up in the air by a force his optics couldn't see >their visors displayed an X and error 606 with an ominous yellow glow >worse still, he caught the sight of Julia's body, lying still across from him in a pool of blood >before he could think, his sensors detected a sharp swish >his left arm was severed and he was injured further as he was hit and tossed against the wall >... >he was presented with an option >"Work for me, or you may" >"watch them die" >not realizing it was simply a mocking gesture from the maid, he agreed >and darkness swallowed them
>>1396 And she has officially manifested. The whole page ain't done yet and the name's still pending a bit along with the backstory, but I think I'm going to stick with Serial Designation C(armen) for now.
>>1449 most DDs do. the dumbsquad is just dumb tho ahahahaha >>1451 ty. it's like 5 am and i was trying to keep it as short as i can so i don't take up like 3 whole posts and keep it similarly compact as L's past stuff.
>>1459 >it's like 5 am and i was trying to keep it as short as i can so i don't take up like 3 whole posts For me, the more, the better, but I get it, I hope you take good rest Friend!
>>1464 This is why some many cases of drones targeting humans go unfiled and never brought to light, the Solver has bought out the drone portion of the police force.
>>1446 From a relationship standpoint, try to examine his obsession with John and get him to move away from it. Being overbearing and obsessive doesn't help whatever gap separates the two. Having someone to talk to other than himself might help his mental health as well.
He paints his nails, so he's a bottom no matter what he tries to say. Plenty of foreplay, make him a drooling mess before anything actually starts. If he calls me John, his orgasm gets ruined. I don't have a plan for if he's into that, so I'll just hope he isn't and doesn't get into it. I will not say "no homo" a single time.
>>1475 >>1476 >There'll be no buddy cop adventures for the kids this year! Yeah. I plan to just say fuck it and do it regardless. >Zeta and Xi need a better intro anyways.
>>1496 I don't know, you were just there, I was talking to my drone, picking some clothes and I saw you, I just closed the door and I don't know what to do now.
>>1515 Depends what you mean by recent. There's been CthulAnon being added to the lore, I rather enjoy their greentexts. Then there's the whole mystery of the Bugretta that some Anons joked about last night with how it disturbingly manages to get other species to take care of it and that it may be the larvae stage of something much bigger
>>1522 You know I used to see Jane as a somewhat cute, but now I can't help but feel this strange sense of pure malice and disgust upon looking at her. The cute Drone I once saw is gone, only her flaws and deformities appear. Honestly I think her parents where very cruel to place her inside such an ugly chassis
>Try to write a canon-compliant story about a groundskeeper at the manor >Get a hunch, check episode 5 again >Realize that nobody does any fucking groundskeeping at the manor, the place is a mess Vickers has thwarted me again. I thought even being in a shitty swamp they'd have a garden around the place, but nope, overgrown vines and mud puddles. Unless I missed it.
>>1552 Sorry but I just really fucking hate Human OCs, why else do you think I killed of all the Human characters and blew up Earth? I want Monster chicks and robots on my dick
>>1559 I should have clarified it was a zombie drone who never met the main cast, justified by the outside help not being allowed to set their filthy boots inside the manor.
>>1417 NGL I didn't really intend for R to become an OC. The original greentext was just meant to be a one-off bit of Sam Raimi-esque bloody slapstick. I just pulled the name out of the air because I thought it would be funnier if the disassembly drone that the human was so freaked out by had a cutesy name. I think she only ended up lingering on because she became associated with E, and E is really popular.
studying cynwalker's design in ep 7 frame by frame atm, i love how she moves like Doc Ock after she stabbed Uzi. there's a cadence to her movement that i really enjoy watching despite how short her scene was, like a lil bit of bobbing up and down while she used the tentacles that served as her legs to return to the flesh pit. i love her design and i'm also astonished how nicely Liam's designs were translate into 3D, props to the modelers on Glitch Prod
>>1572 I'm wondering what her reaction to the revelation will be. I'm like 90% sure that J really has absolutely no clue as to the reality of the situation here. It could go any number of ways.
>>1573 >i'm also astonished how nicely Liam's designs were translate into 3D, props to the modelers on Glitch Prod It is kind of impressive how the characters look equally nice in both 3D and 2D. They nailed it with the designs here.
>>1571 There's a lot of drones I do want to be in one with, so it's hard to pick. If I'm being realistic with who I could land, probably a factory-fresh worker without a personality. Or maybe I'd bond with Y over how much we suck.
>>1586 Ah, the dubious little creature herself. I wasn't around when she first showed up, but I'm interested in seeing what's written, so I'll keep an eye out.

>>1587 According to my files, April 2023 was when the threads first started joking about Uzi and N having an abomination child. Took me until January this year to bring this joke/idea into a character.
>>1590 I don't actually know what I'm doing with Akita and Cyn's dynamic tbh. It's not a thing I see being a plot point. Akita and Nori should've been this instead. Cyn, I figure, is a posthumous thing at this point, so Akita would have a passing interest with her.
>>1593 I know a few anons who don't like me or my creations in the threads, so trying to play things casual is my mental energy. I don't take things seriously here ever, just sharing behind the scenes stuff.
>>1601 I don’t want to start drama but am I the only one who’s noticed beretta fans have gotten really annoying as of late? I get pointing out that Auntie Cyn is a beretta thing, but why he such an ass about it? This isn’t a one case thing it seems to almost always happen with any sector of the beretta character and mythos
>>1603 When people like a character they defend it, I've seen it happen with other thread OCs, but Beretta just happens to be discussed a bit more often. It's nothing to really think about since it's a vocal minority of like 2 people
>>1605 This has nothing to do with thread lore this is an off-site character that did a fun little crossover comic. Jane being there was just because Beretta and Jane was a popular duo at the time. Oh yeah, don't fucking start anything, you know who I'm referring to
>>1608 I'm okay with that. I don't like Jane very much, but I like seeing them together. I just don't want to see Jane's lore taking over every greentext, give Beretta some room too.
>>1615 I was agreeing with you and now you've turned me off the idea. If you hate characters being able to also stand on their own, then what's the point?
>>1614 >>I think it’s good that they aren’t seen much >I agree >I think they should been together tho What are you getting at? Why did you backtrack mid sentence
>>1619 What I was trying to say was, I like how the characters can go do their own things without having to always be stuck together but I wouldn't mind seeing them hang out sometimes. I just don't understand why we can't have both
>>1622 Because the relationship is too tense and unfun these days to actually write or think about, it’s lost all its charm it once had. Also beretta and Jane have become two completely different and incomparable characters at this point
>>1421 >As you walk forward you come across a marble statue. >Said statue if of some JCJ suit, you didn’t really read the plaque next to it. >There’s nothing significant about this. Hell, even NT wouldn’t do anything like this. >You then turn around and start walking backwards towards the statue >You ‘innocently’ whistle as you stop right next to it and the ‘innocently’ look around, arms behind your back as you tap your foot. >In an instant you turn around and slash the statue through the torso with the energy cutlass. >For a moment nothing happens which disappoints you but then hear the sound of grinding stone. >The torso slides down slowly until it can’t support itself anymore as it falls down. >One of the arms detaches itself and the top of the statue’s head cracks open. >You crouch down next to the torso and slightly slap its face.
“Uhhh, you okay there? Would you like some water? Waaaater?”
>You stand up and chuckle at your shitty joke. >You then resume walking around. >The whole place is just filled with JCJ paraphernalia, products, statues of JCJ suits and all kinds of other crap which you take childish glee in smashing. >Screw JCJ and screw for what it stands. Bastards deserve it and their products also suck. You ignore the fact that you were manufactured by JCJ. Eugh. >As you keep smashing stuff without care, you stop the moment you notice a door with big fat STAFF ONLY lettering on it. >Hmm…what could it be? Museum storage? Maybe there’s something interesting back there.
>>1628 Wasn’t she always a lesbian, and wasn’t it beretta fans who wanted to do their own thing? If anything Beretta ran off to be a OP coldsteel demigod with severe projecting parental issues
>>1634 None of what you said was true and you're retarded for not reading the part where I said it was a joke. I'm going to automatically assume you're arguing in bad faith and I think people should ignore you
>>1573 she's so cute. this isn't a plausible design for Animatez-style figurine but i wanted to draw it anyway, the proportion is fun. bit more complicated to really match the simple charm of the figurines. i did like the Glitch Inn designs too, except for some of N's expressions. i don't hate it outright, just wasn't feeling some of it
>>1634 >Wasn’t she always a lesbian no never, not many people now a days care about jane's past… but something tells me no one cares anymore, shame to be honest, I liked that jane
