[OVERLORD ANUTEK: I see that your son has been activated, Alex. I am approaching your planet as I send this.]
[Just-Alex] Yes! I think messaging u slipped my mind.
[Just-Alex] Had a lot to do suddenly haha
Alex sighed, leaning into more of a sitting position. Ash, whom she was laying against, looked over his shoulder from the work that Glass and Viper were working on with him.
"Mam?"
"Friend is coming to visit and meet you." She pat his side, smiling a little as his tail wagged.
"Oh! I am excited!" He turned back to Glass and Viper. "I will finish this first, so that I do not have a bad stopping point."
During the night, the sound of something large and armored could be heard being moved across Alex’s house. The sound eventually stops once the source of it reaches the approximate area of the living room. If someone were to investigate the room, they would find this:
Alex was not up, for once. The sound made her rise, and with tired eyes she stared at the armor from the foot of the stairs.
"Bro what..." She asked out loud as she ran her fingers through her hair. From the other side of the room, her five drones slowly peeked from the doorway to find out what the racket was.
Alex was a little nervous. Sure, she had turned a drone on before, but that was usually back on and not on for the first time. There was no real set up, just a quick check of systems. This? This was more. Or, at least it felt like more.
"Miss?" Alex turned her head to look at the drone speaking to her. Comet blinked pink eyelights, reaching out to gently hold her hand. "You've been staring at your plate for a worryingly long time."
"Yeah, you didn't even see Zeta stole your sausages." Scout commented, getting him a ruffle to his dirty blonde hair from the drone he was tattling on. "Zeta! Hey! Stop that!"
"Punk! You know miss Boss gets a little frazzled with important stuff!" Zeta huffed as she turned her head away and huffed. "Can't believe he's this rude, can you?"
The other drones at the table rolled their eyes.
"I think what they want of you, ma'am, is to eat. It's not good to be stressed on an empty stomach." Glass was playing with her hair a bit, working it into a loose pastel pink braid that rested over her shoulder as she hummed softly. She'd finished eating a bit ago, not that she had needed much.
"And you need to get ready still, right?" White eye-lights blinked, then raised a skeptical brow. "Unless you're not going to invite those couple of friends you want us all to meet? B did mention she was going to wait over at the landing pad, right?"
"And she said she would send the invite texts for you." Glass got up, then dusted herself off. "So eat. I'll be upstairs laying out your clothes for the day."
"Boss is a big girl, she doesn't need you to do that Glass!" Comet protested, though didn't move from his own food. He had a bit more to go, but it was being neglected in favor of checking on the human that owned them.
It was a bit of chaos, but a familiar chaos... Alex sighed, taking a breath.
"Sorry guys... just... nervous. It's... I dunno. A little crazy I guess. I never thought I'd get to this point." She laughed and earned some small smiles in return as her plate was moved toward her with Zeta's solver.
"Eat up, then get ready. We get a new family member today." Scout smiled warmly.
~=~=~=~
B purred a little, looking to her phone as she had sent out the invitation to come by. She didn't know if everyone would make it, but she knew that Spectre, Ai, and Cassidy were invited at the very least. And she knew that they were welcome to bring anyone they felt like.
Settled in the shade of a little waiting area that Alex had added for Solver Drones and Disassemblers, she looked up to the sky to see what the early morning would bring.
( @cursed-spectre :3 If u wanna wait you are clear to I just wanted to get this out at last lol )
