@technodromes for this little starter call || Rick & Shredder
An utterly wasted Rick roaming around the Technodrome wasn't a rare sight these days. The alien fortress had become one of his favoured destinations whenever the alcohol in his system reached a certain level.
Usually, either Krang or Bishop were the unfortunate ones forced to deal with him, and it almost always ended with Rick being kicked and escorted, respectively, back to his dimension. Less often, it was Subprime. Thankfully, since things tended to get bloody and bite-y when it happened.
That day, though, the sentient being the genius bumped into wasn't an Utrom, but the resident of the Technodrome Rick had so far had less interactions with. Needless to say, his drunk brain saw it as the perfect opportunity to make up for it.
Without a warning, Rick plopped down on the floor in front of the man, not caring if he was interrupting his... meditation or whatever.
"D-Damn, pal, I don't know how you do it, b-being around those bubblegums all day, every day," Rick huffed out as a greeting, spilling some liquor on his shirt as he took a clumsy swing from his bottle. "I-I mean, yeah, they are entertaining, b-but they are also huge pains in the ass."
He cut himself off with a hiccup, but he didn't lose the momentum of his speech, leaning in close as he went on.
"N-Not gonna ask you if you miss less alien company, b-because it's a fuckin' dumb question, buuut...i-if you happened to miss some human contact, I-I can think of a way to fix that.~"
