Also, I think I gained a fistful of gray hairs trying to remember my fucking log in for this account after my sessionbox shat the bed on logins. But here I am.

“Thank you?” Betty barely resists the urge to squawk out of spite. “You can just call me Betty, Annie. Or at least, Mrs. Ross-Banner if you must.”

“Ah-Alright.” Whew. Jesus, did Annie just say ‘Bird’. Yikes. She could recover.

“Is Betty good? Is that too close? I know I just call Mom, well... Mom.” Banner was a different case.

invenina‌:

Oh absolutely, Annie. You’re a doll for even offering.

Honestly, I need to get away from this sudoku thing I started. iI’s just a little too complicated for me in my old age, I’m gonna give myself a conniption.

Old? Who called you that? They’re wrong, you know. They’re just jealous probably.

You’ve probably earned a little fun. I know just the place.

I may not need to eat, but I still have a sweet tooth!

“I just don’t want you to feel obligated, that’s all.” He smiles softly, assuring her that he’s in no way unhappy with either development. In fact, he actually likes hearing her call him that; in a way, Annie was the first child he intended to have, and to hear himself be called that, free from baggage..it was nice.

“So I’ve heard. Your work on spreading the soil restoration compound is unreal. My works in good hands.” He purses his lips, brow furrowing. “I like to think charity organizers have more basic empathy, but who knows. The jerks will learn someday. I hope.” He adjusts his glasses. “As for me…well, I’d tell you, but I don’t want you to think I’ve gone crazy.”

“You don’t ever have to worry about that,” Annie smiled back softly, huffing a sweet laugh. She was designed to be tough and endure, take damage for people-- fleshy people-- but she was designed to be sweet and kind too, nearly opposing some protocols, and yet... so humanly complex. He was her dad. That was established. It was a lot better than ‘creator’ or ‘programmer’. It was something she could claim for herself, and being a ... being with agency for herself like that was pretty rare.

Annie blushed, letting the compliments wash over proudly. Oh, to hear she was doing right and that she was keeping his legacy alive? If she had a beating heart, it’d burst from her chest. Well, she technically had one. Kinda. “Thank you!” she sang back, smiling bigger.

“I’ve been working on new distribution methods to reach more inaccessible sections of villages and areas. The key is thermo-camouflaging distribution drones and naturally colored material. Locals notice very closely in areas if something doesn’t belong, but it’s very important we get them back to stability after natural disasters and fracking.”

She sighed, but refocused on him. Can’t forget that wellness check feature. She tsked and tilted her head with a soft smile. “I promise you I’ve seen worse. ‘Gramps’ got us in a lot of crazy situations.” She paused, rolling her lips. “Besides... I’ve been trying to keep an eye on you-- not in a creepy way! Just... Wanted to make sure you’ve been alright. I’ve looked into a lot of strange reports recently.  I hope that the reporter involved has a therapist.”

“Wanna see pictures of my kids?”

“Depends, am I in there?”

“Uh, Hello, Mrs. Ross. You’re looking very bird-- Beautiful today.”

“I told you you don’t have to call me that, Annie.” As much as it warms his heart, it feels wrong to claim any ownership over the person she is. He may have created her, but her personality and achievements are her own. Damn if he isn’t proud of her, though.

“I’m alright– just don’t want to be distracted.” He sighs, adjusting his glasses. “How have you been?”

“Well, calling you ‘Banner’ feels too ... clinical, and calling you father feels so... stuffy. I don’t mind calling you dad; it’s a lot better than ‘Creator’.” While he may feel awkward in regards to claiming ownership or responsibility for her creation, he still is, and nothing in her coding could detach from his involvement. Every base programming and desire to learn more and observe came from his work in programming her. She smiled.

“Distracted? From what?” Like she’d let that rest. She was sharp as a tack, and could play it back to him too. “And I’ve been good. Good as I’ll ever be. I’ve been keeping the operation of your Banner Tech company, making headway with improving some of the humanitarian efforts. Funny how no one questions how human you are when you put the time in those efforts. It’s honestly refreshing!”

invenina‌:

Aww, shoot. You just missed her, Annie. She and Betts went out to celebrate their anniversary.

Do you have to run? Those two are senior citizens at heart, so you know they’ll be back pretty early. You can just hang around until then.

Nah, not really. I got all the time in the world really.

That’s so cute they’re on their anniversary! I thought I put that in my calendar. Well.... It’s in my calendar now.

Did you wanna go out for a treat then? It can’t be that nice being cooped up here while they’re out having fun.

@thoughtsmash

“Hello, Dad. You’ve been trying to stay off the radar more than usual. I had to check in.”

[urbanjunction]

@invenina

Hey there, Miss Chandler. Is Mom around? I got a nice surprise for her.

[urbanjunction]

invenina‌:

( carmilla takes a look at annie, at the burger, and says fuck it. she snatches it back and – after carefully unwrapping it because she’s not a fucking savage – continues eating it. ) 

I’ve had sweaty balls in my mouth before, Annie, you’re going to have to do better than that.

[Annie damn near unhinges her jaw, her inhuman jaw and finishes another unwrapped one she steals from the pile without as much as chewing it. Just so she could talk back, a bit flustered though.]

Eww. Gross flex, but okay. Unlike you, I only put things I like in my mouth. 

Also, don’t try me, I’ll win.

@paintbrushflamingo

[She turned off stealth cloaking.] --Hey there, great gruncle Barnes~

[She popped a cherry lollipop in her mouth a bit.] What brings you out to these woods?

Okay, sorry. I knew you were on a mission. Figured I’d come along and help out. I’ve got ten guns in this arm alone.

[urbanjunction]

invenina‌:

( long sip. ) Snooze, ya’ lose, bitch. 

Besides, family shares.

Pfft.... [Annie pouted, obviously caught in this bullshit.]

[A plan! Yes. Bitch move returned. Mission: revenge, bitch. Annie snagged one cheeseburger of the at least 20 on Carm’s tray and took a big bite from it out of spite (wrapper and all), mouth full as she spoke. She didn’t even like cheeseburgers. This was a waste of food processing, but it was worth it.]

Famiwy shawes.

[urbanjunction]

invenina‌:

Unless somebody’s about to die, I say you let me eat my cheeseburgers, Anneward. I’m, like, bulking or whatever the shit it’s called. 

Carb-loading. But...

[She sighed, sinking into her seat and eating more fries.] --Okay...

--Wait a second, are you drinking my milkshake? Ugh!

[urbanjunction]

@invenina

I’m just saying-- Shouldn’t we be doing something about that? Feels wrong letting them suffer like this.

[urbanjunction]

Alright. Fuck it, boys, girls and gentle people. New muse time!

Name: Annie (Banner)

Species: Human-passing Life Model Decoy

Age: Chronically, about 8 years old. Mentally and physically in appearance, about 20-25 years old.

“Birthday”: Celebrated presently to be sometime in the first half of May 2011.

Hair: Red

Skin: Fair

Eyes: Blue/Green

Job: I guess she’s a free agent, but she was an LMD meant to do missions with Red Hulk, so. It’s quite up in the air what she actually does anymore as a rogue, uncontrolled LMD.

General Backstory: Developed by Dr. Banner, she was later brought into life to run out missions for the Gamma Base. Eventually, she strayed from that to help out General Ross/Red Hulk on his missions, growing close to him. Although she confesses she is only an LMD, she is noted to be valuable and important, having a lot of free will and new nativity about the world despite being given implanted memories to function as a normal person. She recognizes these memories aren’t necessarily real, but she remains a loyal, dedicated and faithful person, albeit going through a rebellious phase.

As much as an LMD can have one of those. It’s hard to say where her alliances lie anymore, but it’s generally for good. She’s very much her own person, not meant to replicate any existing person, but simply exist as a new one, something likely given to her in terms of individuality from her creator, who she now treats like and interacts with as her parent.

She retains all the abilities of an LMD. Found here: [ x ]

More info on her here, though I’m not following this too closely. [ x ]

All I want is french fries. Do you know how hard it is to get french fries when you don’t have any money?

Your wish is my command. I could go for a burger myself. ...Or five. We could do fries, a whole table of them if you wanted.
