Continuing on your doodle from Spark gala, Kiran was more than willing to teach Dolly some parkour🙂↕️ since Theo said they can't do it in a dress, I put Dolly in that one fit from that one doodle- you thought I wouldn't do something like this? Think again :3
ANYWAYS with that out of the way, the two hyperactive bots set out into Midtown together to practice freerunning! Dolly was also given rubber sandals(?) for a better grip, and Kiran might look chill and confident doing this but they're falling along with Dolly as soon as she loses balance/silly
@yaboi-weenis hope you like thiss and to everyone reading this. You're next🫵 sincerely,
Team Mystery (who is losing at the time I'm writing this/lh)
Artfight render from last year for my bestie & cowriter @mrtreesnek !! Wythe and Dolly are the best friends ever forever and it’s sad that I don’t talk about xem nearly enough 😭
If you’re familiar with my Blazer backstory ramble, you know about Zeke- Eddie’s first apprentice/adoptee; a bright orange bot who brought Eddie & Blazer together… until she made the fatal mistake of attempting to enter the sewers alone.
Eddie’s devastation about losing them was deep, especially since Zeke’s mother Karen- who hated Eddie with a burning passion- continued to blame and berate him for years after her son’s death.
Far later, after the city opens, Dolly would meet Wythe online; playing games together before moving to chat privately, and the two grow extremely close. Wythe tells her about its long lost older brother, who its mom won’t even mention but plenty of people around the slums seem to recall fondly. Dolly suggests xe talk to her grandpa Eddie about them- he knows just about anyone- and Wythe agrees.
Payton answers the door to a small, bright orange bot with a white screen asking for Eddie.. and nearly begins to panic. The similarities between the two are terrifying- did Karen clone Zeke?
Xe explain that xyr name is Wythe and xe don’t actually know much about Zeke, and Payton decides to give xem Eddie’s number rather than introduce them outright; it’s been years, but the grief is still raw on its shoulders.
The two talk for a while (Eddie speaks minimally, but types in MLA formatted paragraphs) and eventually Eddie allows xem to visit his workshop. The sight of xem is still.. rather jarring.. but even moreso is how quickly Wythe found Eddie’s work fascinating- just like its sibling, Wythe wants to become his apprentice.
Eddie is hesitant, but with Payton’s encouragement he allows the bittybot closer to his heart— teaching it mechanics, hospitality, and how to fight- which would help xem get out of a good handful of sticky situations.
Leading a secret night-life away from xyr overbearing mother- Wythe starts to grab its own life by the horns, taking on a very punk & anti-fascist aesthetic to match its growing belief in the power of community. Eddie and Payton set a very good example of what it means to be there for people, both physically and emotionally; and Wythe makes it xyr to goal to follow in their footsteps.
That’s not all for Wythe’s story; but I’ll leave the rest in the air for now :)
