Tagged by @daisywords, nine line tag. This is fresh off the press, no editing at all yet.

Neuron scanned the area until he saw the person, arms crossed and leaning against a tree. He had never met them, but the second he laid eyes on them he knew who it was.

Intelligent blue eyes met his.

They were pale, with freckles across their nose, and had strawberry blonde hair cut short and windswept. Their jacket was heavy, a dark bluish gray, with a patch on the shoulder. A utility belt sat at their hips, a variety of dangling decorations blowing in the wind - like a windchime.

Windchime winked at him.

Someone else's intense attention nagged at him, giving Neuron a brief moment to think fuck.

A gun went off.

OCKiss 23 Prompt 2 - Food

Gadget’s hand grabbed at an empty plate.

She glanced over at the plate. All the food was gone - food she hadn’t even realized she was eating.

What time was it anyways?

Gadget turned her attention back to her computer. She was halfway through an article on blacksmithing. It wasn’t what she had sat down to do - one of her favorite martial artists had released a new video, and that had sent her down the research rabbit hole.

According to the clock, she had been on her computer for five hours. Oops.

Gadget pushed her chair back, stretching her arms out. She should get up and do something.

It was after dinner. If Neuron hadn’t brought her food, she would be starved.

Neuron was probably still in the kitchen, cleaning up. If she went down now, she could get a few minutes alone with him. And she needed to take her dirty dishes back anyways.

Gadget grabbed the dishes and headed down the stairs from her office to the kitchen. As she thought, Neuron was still there. He gave Gadget a wide smile when she arrived.

“Thanks for the food,” Gadget said, putting the dishes next to the rest of the dirty dishes.

“You ate it all?” Neuron asked.

“Apparently,” Gadget replied. She opened the fridge, looking for a drink.

“Learn anything interesting?” Neuron asked.

“That we’re out of drinks,” Gadget muttered. She poured herself a glass of water.

“Isn’t it your turn to order groceries?” Neuron teased.

“Is it?” Gadget asked. “I’ll tell Tsu to do it tomorrow.”

Neuron chuckled.

Gadget stepped closer to him and gave him a peck on his cheek.

“Thanks, again, for the food. I wouldn’t have eaten if you hadn’t brought anything.”

“Do you carry any weapons?” Rat interjected.

“I have a stunner,” Neuron replied. He had already replaced the stunner on his belt, so it was no longer hidden in his boot. “It won’t kill someone, but it’ll knock almost anyone out. It has a setting for droids and drones too.”

“Drones?” RJ asked. “Like, robots?”

“Yeah,” Neuron said, “but less humanoid, more… bug-like.”

“And that’s something you have to worry about?” Ariel asked. “Robots?”

“Unfortunately.”

“Unfortunately?” RJ asked. “That’s so cool! Much cooler than anything we’ve fought.”

Gadget: Do you think birds get sad because they don't have arms?

Neuron: Do you get sad that you don't wings?

Gadget: every second of my life

King and Queen for any OC you like ❣️

Thanks for the ask! Sorry it took forever to get to this.

KING - Name an OC who “leads” the most often. Is it by choice? Or were they put into that position? Either way, has this altered their sense of self? Do they feel more powerful and confident in themselves, or do they doubt or even fear their ability to lead?

Neuron is definitely the main leader. It's not necessarily by choice, he was kinda thrusted into the position. As for his confidence, it gets better and worse at different points in the story.

QUEEN - Like before, name an OC who leads. What would be their method of leadership? Would they preserve all power to themselves? Or would they distribute it amongst those they trust? Why?

Neuron is a collaborator - he likes to work with others, get their ideas, and learn their strengths.

“Then you’re on the team,” Rat said. “So, what’s your name?” 

“Neuron.” 

RJ grinned. “Oh, I bet you’re a telepath.”
