A Rant About The Wuwa Storyline At 3am:

A Rant about the Wuwa storyline at 3am:

((Sorry, I just couldn't hold it in anymore, long rant, and I genuinely think there is a misunderstanding.))

I am going to get flame or hate for this but... Oh well.

Just offering my opinion and 2 cents... Tldr; at the end.

I know the topic about the storyline in the Wuthering Waves beta has set debates, and even some animosity with the CN side.

I have heard about the CN and global comments. Hence, I actually got curious, and went ahead to watch all the cut scenes, both from Global and CN.

After watch both versions, I have some thoughts:

Firstly, I do agree that having characters that are not immediately in love/ infactuated with the MC quickly, is definitely refreshing. I am also tired of the harem tropes.

I do like the aspects as to how the MC is going to nagivate their way through all sorts of people, and their interaction with the characters of different personalities.

In the beginning, I also thought the CN side was too sensitive and whinny.

However, after watching the cut scenes on both ends, I will say that the CN's criticism about the "Harsh" treatment is not invalid.

I think there is a misunderstanding of what the Global side thinks the CN side is referring too. I also find the use of the word, "Harsh" is incorrect.

I think there are a number of factors that contributed to the unsatisfactory of the characterisations and the story as a whole. To simply put everything under the word "Harsh" and call it a day, I don't think it's fair.

I see a lot of people in global referring the "Harsh" treatment as Chixia holding her gun at Rover, and not being buddies to Rover, unlike Yang Yang.

It not so much about being suspected as a threat or not being able to get off from the waifu fantasy. (I will not deny that there are some ppl who wants that.)

More so, it's the character dialogue and the story writing in itself. Edit: Don't get me started on the cheesy cutscenes and dialogue.

There are moments where Chixia's dialogue is incredibly rude in Chinese, but the English translation didn't hold the same interpretation. Hence, the Global ver sounded less harsh, and the insults didn't hold as much weight as it would in Chinese.

For example, the scene where Rover returns the Resonance Terminal that Chixia dropped. She got irritated/annoyed, and snatched it away.

Her dialogue to Rover: 「... 怎麼偏偏被你撿到... 」

If I were to translate this, it would be more along the lines of, "Tsk, It just has to be you out of everyone [to pick it up]"

This line was actually quite rude in Chinese. Even I was taken back. The usage of 'just has to be' really hits hard since it emphasis whatever was said and implied directly at the receiver. Pair it with her attitude, she comes off being insufferable.

The same dialogue in Global ver: "... Why does it have to be you..."

It lacks the weight of how the CN ver come across.

If Localised, "Of course it's you, couldn't be more better." in a sarcastic tone. ((This is the best I can come up with, if English speakers know a more appropriate phrase that holds the same meaning, please tell me. I really want to know.))

Also, I find the constant switch of Chixia's lines between some friendly/neutral moments, and straight insults/rude wordings are quite annoying and abusive at times.

Yeah, we get it you don't like Rover, we got the point. But, the extra rudeness felt unnesscary at some point in the story (Not that the story is well written in the first place anyway. It's beta.)

The fact that Rover just takes the abuse was just... 😬😬 annoying. Which, some CN players expresses that as well. The story didn't give Rover any agency at all. They didn't fight back or trying to prove their innocence or do anything about it. They just stay quiet, and does the next task people tell them to after being insulted.

I think a lot of people were fed up with this over all treatment of the Rover.

I am not saying there shouldn't be any rude characters. But I think there is a threshold as to how much abuse of the MC that the players can take in the story.

It's 3am, idk will this make sense, maybe not. But need to get this off my chest because of this constant animosity between global and CN in regards of story.

Might delete this.

Tldr; CN's critisms about the "Harsh" characters are not invalid. I believe there is a misunderstanding of the CN side of the critisms, as it is reduce to be "They only want harem waifu, that's why they can't handle characters being unfriendly."

I watched both CN and global versions of beta, just to really see what is going on. Turns out, there were a number of factors at play with the story telling, character dialogue and how the Global translation kinda lost the weight of the rude dialogue being thrown at Rover constantly.

It was a combination of these things that lead CN players feel dissatisfied by the story.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

Brain fog is real

Oh, finally got the chance to ask for stories. If you allow me, I want a one-shot story about how the Gray Raven members helped Commander, who was blown away by a strong wind on a mission with them and blown away like Mary Poppins with her umbrella, with elements of comedy in it? Thank you very much.

Author's note:

Ngl, this is a bit of a challenge, and it did took me a while. Writing comedy is something new to me. Plus, my humor is *Chefs kiss*/sarcas.

Haha.. Ha.. Ha... Please say I am funny ;w;

BTW, the incident with the automatic umbrella was a true story of mine. It legit happened like that, I am not making this up.

Edit: Spotted some mistakes, fixed it

---------------------------------------------------

Cursed Relic...

Grey Ravens and Commandant/reader (ft. Kamui)

Summary:

You found an piece of relic in the ruins. An automatic umbrella of the Golden Age. Yet, Lucia and Kamui insisted it is cursed.

Tags: Comedy (*finger guns*), mild action, Lee and Kamui the comedic duo, Panini-style

"Commandant!" Lucia yelled from five feet below. You watched as she fanatically ran around trying to find a way to get to you.

Liv was just as frantic, scanning for all possible means. Meanwhile, Lee was almost at the verge to kill Kamui.

Currently dangling, dangerously five feet above ground level, carefully, you readjusted your grip on the piece of metal. You felt your new battle suit accommodated to your grip.

You reckon you should just find your way out of this mess; before Lee has a chance to commit murder.

Your hands began to move along the pipeline with each grip as your body slowly, but surely, following along it's direction. You looked up to makes sure your hands are doing fine, and noticed your right hand was still gripping onto the relic...

*****

"Wait a minute..." you said.

Among the sand, you managed to spot something buried beneath. Out of curiousity you decided to pick it up, inspecting its shape and mechanics. You shook it to remove decades of sand and dust that was accumulated.

"Commandant?" Lee walked over to you. He saw you standing there in fascination, and he got a little curious.

His voice alerted Lucia as well. She, too, followed behind Lee, wanting to know what had caught your attention.

"Guys look," you said and held up relic, "I never thought I would see something like this!"

"What is it, Commandant?" Lucia asked.

"It's an umbrella," Lee answered, "Golden age relic, an automated model too..."

You nodded your head and added, "I wonder how does this work?"

"Let me take a look, Commandant," Lee said and conducted a scan on the item.

Meanwhile, Liv was scanning the surroundings nearby. Usually ruins are places where the corrupted like to gather the most, hence, it was usual practice for her to scan the area whenever the team are traversing through ruins.

Kamui was joining in with the mission, and was on standby behind the group. He asked, "Liv, anything nearby?"

The support construct shook her head, "No enemies detected. Punishing Virus Concentration is low. It is safe to continue." she reported.

Kamui nodded before noticing a lively conversation was happening between you and your other two constructs.

Without much thought, Bastion made his way towards you.

"Ah! Kamui, your post!" Liv exclaimed.

"It's fine, Liv. I'll be back in a sec!" Kamui promised.

Approaching the group, he peer over Lee's shoulder. "Oh wow! What's that?!" Kamui asked.

Lee jumped from the volume of Kamui's voice, "What the-!!"

Lee spun around, face flush with embrassment and anger. Placing your arm in between the constructs, you stopped Lee from grabbing Kamui. Paleflame could only bite his tougne, swallowing his annoyance all for your sake.

"It's an automatic umbrella," you answered Kamui's question.

You lifted up the item to give the construct a better look at it, "I bet Asmoiv would like to study this." you joked.

"... Commandant..."Lucia suddenly spoke, her voice sounded a little worried," are you sure you want to take the relic with you? "

"What is it, Lucia?" you asked. You were confused by what Lucia had said.

"It's just..." her cheeks went a little red. Embrassed by what she was about to say, "I heard that relics are usually cursed. Should you take it with you, Commandant, I am worried that something might happen to you."

Everyone went quiet after Lucia spoke. You didn't know what to think of it until Kamui spoke, "Hey, Lucia... Are you sure? I know we watched a lot of Golden Age movies but..."

"Cursed relics are simply myths," Lee butted in, "there are no scientific prove that curses exist other than being a human cultural belief. In other words, this is all superstition. So, don't worry about it too much."

Flushed with colour, Lucia lowered her head a little out of embrassment. "It's okay, Lucia. I know you meant well," you reassured, "Thank you."

"... I guess we have stayed here long enough, shall we move on, Commandant?" Lee asked.

Giving him a nod, you then turned to Liv and requested, "Liv, how did the scan go? Any way out?"

"There are in total five exits in this ruin, this includes the entrance. The nearest exit is in the west wing of the building." Liv reported.

"Get into formation," you ordered, "Kamui, back to position."

Bastion gave a little pout but nodded regardless and went back to his position at the back. Under your command, you and your group continued going through the ruin. Looking for the exit, before all of you over stayed your welcome.

Arriving at the location, Lee commented when he saw the exit, "Liv, when you say exit, do you mean this?" he pointed at the huge hole on the wall. Liv turned a little red from embrassment and nodded.

"Commandant, it's raining," Lucia said, "There should be a waterproof function in your new uniform."

You nodded and activated the control system. The wrist band on your suit glowed projecting a control panel in front of you. There was a newly installed functions list in your system. You took your time to scroll through the list, searching for the word 'Wateeproof' but not before catching your eyes on another word, 'Parachute'.

Once you found what you wanted, you press the button waiting for the system to respond. However, after a few seconds pass, the system was not responding. Pressing the button again, you helded a troubled look.

“Commandant?” Lee asked. He approached the control panel and tried to press the button as well.

“I think the suit’s lagging,” you said, "It was working fine before."

“Did you break the the mother board by chance? Or the communicator?” Lee asked, “let me run a scan.”

You thought about it, but you never recall every breaking the technology inside your suit. You never took a big fall, nor did you hear anything break.

"Nevermind," You said. There's no time to lose. Taking the umbrella, you lift it up and showed it to your constructs, "I can always use this." you spoke proudly.

"... Are you sure? That thing looks kinda rusty." Kamui commented.

Lucia had a look of worried on her face.

"Just watch how this works," exicted, you pushed the button to open up the canopy. However, the runner slide with a small pop, the whole top flew off the tip leaving you holding onto the handle and the shaft. The canopy landed on the ground with a wet thud. The rain fell harder, hitting home the fact you are definitely going to get wet.

"... Is that how it suppose to work?" Kamui asked.

"Shut up,"Lee scoffed.

"Hey Lucia," Kamui turned to Grey Raven's captain, "you know, this is kinda like a sign."

Lucia pulled back, "What do you mean?" She asked in a serious tone.

"maybe...the relic is actually cursed?" Kamui suggested, "Commandant already has encounter two problems. Maybe there would be a third one!"

Immediately, Lucia's heighted her senses. In fear she looked at you, who was still making a joke about the umbrella. Liv and Lee were trying to help you put the umbrella back together.

"C-Commandant..." Lucia said, she reached out trying to stop you, however, as optimistic as you could be you said, "Well, I guess we just to find the nearest shelter and run. Liv, anything?"

Running a scan, Liv nodded and report, "There's infrastructure up a head."

"Good, let's move out, team!" you ordered. You pulled your cape over your head and ran out of the ruins.

Standing there, Lucia could only watch as the rest of her team followed you. All running towards the shelter under the beating rain. Lost at what she should do, Lotus could only bite her tougne and followed from behind.

*****

"Whew! We made it!" you spoke as you tried to catch your breath.

Standing by the entrance of the infrastructure, it seems to be a warehouse of some sorts. You were soaked from head to toe.

"Commandant, are you alright?" Lucia asked in worry.

Looking at your contruct, you gave her a slight confused look. 'What has got her so on edge? ' you thought.

"What is it, Lucia?" you asked.

"..." struggling say it out loud, Kamui butted in, "What Lucia is trying to say is... Do you feel anything off? Like a broken ribs or something?"

"Commandant, are you hurt?" Liv asked in surprise.

"Oh no, no, I am fine," you laughed," But I am getting a bit cold, let's head inside." you pointed at the warehouse.

Quickly, everyone went in. Lee and Kamui closed the entrance door, just in case the corrupted were to walk in.

"From the look of this place...there should be an office here somewhere," You mumbled, desperate to find something to dry you off. You began shivering from the cold. Walking along the warehouse, you looked around to see there were also machineries laying around. Then it clicked to you that this isn't a warehouse, but a workshop.

"I wonder what things did the people make in this place?" you asked.

"Something with paint. " Lee answered. He pointed at the large empty pot with paint residue all dried up at the bottom.

"Guys look!" Kamui exclaim and ran ahead.

"Kamui, wait!" Liv cried.

"Let him be, Liv." Lee sighed.

Everyone followed Kamui. He had ran towards a control panel up front, and next to it was an industrial fan.

"Guys, I got an idea!" Kamui said, "We can dry Commandant with this!"

Lee apparoch Kamui as he played with the controls. "I wouldn't touch anything here if I were you." Lee warned.

"Don't worry, bro. I got this!" Kamui gave Lee and thumbs up, Paleflame flashed a look of skepticism.

Meanwhile, you continued to inspect the umbrella. Back at the ruins, Lee fixed it for you so it should work fine.

Holding the umbrella out, you pressed the button to release the top again. This time, instead of the top flying out from the shaft, it stayed and the ribs opened up.

FOOM, it let out a sound and a sudden burst of force startling you a little. You've never experience something like this before.

'Do people back in the Golden Age always experience this everytime it rains?' you thought to yourself.

Maybe the history museum back in Babylonia would be happy to collect this. Excited, you turned around eager to show your constructs the umbrella actually works.

At the same time, Kamui was troubleshooting the machine. Suddenly, the fan blades began to move. It started a little slow, but soon picked up it's momentum.

You, with an open umbrella at hand, approached Lucia and Liv. "Hey, look the umbrella works!" you said happily. However you began to feel resistance from behind. As the wind blew stronger and stronger, the umbrella suddenly picked up the wind.

The next thing you knew, your feet flew off from the ground. The fan blew as you held on to the umbrella, taking you a few feet above.

"Commandant!" Lucia cried.

"Oi!" Lee snapped at Kamui.

Quickly you grabbed on to a nearby pipe to prevent yourself from hitting the wall. Grabbing onto the piece of metal tightly, you looked down and saw the Grey Ravens panicking.

Lucia and Liv were running around, while Lee was on the verge to kill Kamui.

The umbrella was still in your hands.

"I knew it! It's cursed!" Lucia exclaimed.

"What do you mean, Lucia?" Liv asked.

"The unbrella..." Lucia replied, "It's a cursed relic."

Liv was taken back.

"As long as it's by Commandant's side, Commandant will always be in danger." Lucia continued.

"Wait, Lucia how can you be sure. These are just myths." Lee said.

"but..." Lucia replied, "Didn't a number of misfortunes happened after Commandant kept the umbrella?"

The team went silent.

"... Then what should we do?" Liv asked.

Everyone looked at Lucia, waiting for her response. Thinking hard, she figured it would be wise to tackle the thing she was cautious the whole time.

The umbrella.

"We need to destroy that relic. As long as its there, Commandant is not entirely save." she said.

"I agree," Lee said, "and we need to act fast. I doubt the pipe could hold on."

On cue, the pipe began to break from your weight. You held on tightly as the piece of metal dropped down. Metal scratching against metal sounded like thunder roaring through the workshop. This alerted the team. The situtation was dire and they need to act.

"Let's split up," Lee suggested, "Liv and Kamui, stay here and watch out for Commandant. Lucia and I will head to the office to see if there's anything to help Commandant!"

Not a second to waste, Lee and Lucia dashed towards the office. While Kamui and Liv kept watch. "Don't worry Commandant!" Kamui yelled, "If you fall I can catch you!"

"Erm... Kamui, I don't think it's possible for Commandant." Liv said.

Suddenly, the piece of metal dropped lower. You felt your heart dropped, thinking you were seriously done for. As you dangled from above, you look up and saw how the metal pipe was held desperatly by the nuts and bolts. It had bend it's shape from your weight and you don't think it could hold on much longer.

"Commandant!" A small voice echoed at a distance.

"Commandant!" Liv yelled in her soft voice.

"Liv?" you answered back.

"Commandant, there should be a magnetic mode on your combat suit!" she yelled.

Quickly and carefully, you activated your wrist band; projecting the control panel once more. Going to system control, you scroll through the different modes your suit has.

However you didn't pick the mode Liv suggested, you opted for a better choice.

Carefully, you moved your hands to make your way towards a large metal tub, connected with the pipe. Making it through your fingers griped on the thin protruding seal edge, while stepping on the edge near your feet. You slowly made your way around the structure. Getting close to another set of pipes. Inching your way closer towards Liv and Kamui.

Meanwhile, Lucia and Lee had found the office. They rummage through the desks, cabinets and lockers trying to find anything they could use for help.

"There's nothing here," Lucia said,"How about you, Lee?"

Lee shook his head and said, "I couldn't find anything but these towels." he opened one of the lockers and showed Lucia a bunch of towels made with a textured fabric.

Standing by the locker, Lee gave it a good thought and spoke, "Actually, maybe this could work."

"How?" Lucia asked.

"Back in the day, humans use a fabric net to catch people when they jump down from high places. We can make a net with these." Lee took one of the towels and pulled at it showing Lucia how flexible and durable the material is.

"They are a little too small..." Lucia commented,"Are you sure this can catch Commandant?"

Lee held a stoic look before grabbing his gun. He tinkered with his guns for a bit. Not long, the weapon began to shift its parts.

"What?" Lucia spoke. She was surprised at what she saw.

"Don't go telling anyone about this, especially Kamui," Lee said, "I knew this will come in handy someday. I have installed different types of mechanics into these guns. They should help sew these towels together."

He handed Lucia one while Lee took the other. He demonstrate to Lucia how to sew and both constructs hurriedly work on the makeshift catch net.

As soon as they were finished, they gave the stitches a little test before rushing back to where Kamui and Liv were.

"We're back!" Lucia exclaimed.

"Lucia! Lee!" Liv said.

"Where's Commandant?" Lucia asked.

"Guy!" they heard your voice. They all followed the sound of your voice and saw you walking along the pipelines, arms out to maintain balance. You were getting closer to where your constructs were standing.

"Good timing," Lee said. He gave Lucia a corner of the makeshift catch net, and handed the other corners to Liv and Kamui.

"We've made a catch net, everyone needs to be careful not to pull the fabric too tight," Lee warned.

As you got closer, the rusty pipes began to give out. You almost slipped and ran as the pipes bend and broke off from it's screws. Your footsteps rang as your shoes hit the metal, you can see your constructs with the net. Running towards the end of the pipeline, you jumped just in time.

On that moment your hand releases the umbrella, throwing it away to the side.

Lucia saw it as an opportunity, she ran towards the umbrella, unsheathing her sword. The relic was cut into several pieces in mid air before dropping to the ground.

As you fell, you went to pull a string on your left shoulder, a small parachute launched.

Kamui's jaws dropped, Lee was stoic but his eyes showed surprised, while Liv had a sigh of relief.

With the parachute, you gently landed next to your constructs and did a forward roll, before standing up.

"Commandant! You did it!" Kamui exclaimed.

"So you have a parachute all along?" Lee asked. He was a little annoyed, if only he knew. He wouldn't have showed Lucia his gadgets

"I am surprised myself, I didn't even know the suit has packed a small parachute. I got to see all the functions and controls the suit has to offer." You explained.

"... Fair enough..." Lee said, although he still felt a little bitter.

"As long as the relic is gone, everything should be alright," Lucia said.

"Ah, the umbrella!" you exclaimed, you just remembered.

Lucia jumped when she heard you exclaimed.

"Commandant, do you still want to bring that cursed relic home?" Kamui asked, scratching his head in confusion, "Didn't you have enough of bad luck already?"

"It's more like, you activated the machine which landed us here in the first place..." Lee mumbled.

"Nah, I think I have enough of it today." you said, "I am a little sad, but I don't miss it."

A small smile was draw on Lucia's lips, there was a moment of relief in her expression.

Everyone had a sigh of relief as the danger had past.

"But, I really need to find a place to dry off. I am getting cold." you spoke. Immediately, your contructs began to panic once more.

Hii, Can I request a Chrome x reader fic please? It can be anything you want! :)

Hoping to Spend the Night with You…

Chrome (Archlight/Glory) x Commandant/reader

Summary:

Every night, he tries his best. Whenever he fails, he will just move on and try again.

Tags: fluff, one-shot, short fic, bittersweet, food wastage (I do not condone wasting food)

Many people do not like taking overtime because of how taxing it could be. However, to you, overtime might be the thing you need to catch up with all the paperwork on your desk.

It was a few hours before midnight, you poured yourself a cup of water.

After filling up your cup, you exited the dark pantry. The base has officially entered the after hour mode, and your colleagues, almost everyone was nowhere to be found.

The corridor was dimly lit by the emergency lights as you walk pass door after door. Tonight was special. There is a Bonfire festival happening in the Central Plaza in Babylonia. Everyone went.

Even your contructs, Lucia, Lee and Liv attedned. The three even got you a ticket. Despite so, you declined their offer, and gave it to Kamui instead.

"There are more important matters to deal with right now," you told yourself, "Maybe next year..."

There was a feeling of regret for your decision, although you were use to it.

Sometimes, sacrifices has to be made.

Gazing down at the floor, you walk a little aimlessly. Your mind wandered about, thinking about all the unnesscary stressor around you.

Instinctively, you made your way back to the door of your room.

"Commandant of Grey Raven," a familiar voice spoke up.

You jolted out from your train of thought, and saw Chrome standing in front of you. Quickly, you turned to face him, and greeted him tiredly, "Oh, Chrome! Hello..."

"I thought you were going to the Bonfire Festival with your team,"Chrome said, "I know Kamui went."

“About that," you began, "Kamui went because I have him my ticket. I am too busy with work to attend. What about you? Why didn't you join the others?"

You question seems to caught Chrome off guard. If it weren't for the lights, the tint on his cheeks would have been more apparent. Embarassed and flustered by his situtation, Chrome could only give you the gist of his predicament.

"I was invited by 'Mr Smith' to attend the festival," he continued, “but I declined.”

You gave Chrome a nodded, gesturing you understood what he meant.

“I prefer using this time to do something else I find meaningful,” Chrome confessed. Now that he has calmed, his voice spoke in a stern tone.

"Like what?" You asked him. Your face showed genuine curiousity.

There was a moment of silence between them. The construct had a stern and indiffernt look on his face. Yet, with his hands behind his back, his fingers fidgeted with a small plastic container, as well as hiding the baking stains on his sleeves.

Chrome was a little speechless. For, there was something in his M. I. N. D that he want to say. But didn't have the courage to say.

"... I prefer to use this time to spend getting tomorrow's briefs and reports ready..."He gave you a model, yet, generic answer.

Hearing his answer, you nodded and gave a small smile, "I get it. When you are too busy, you just can't seem to find time to do something else." you said understandingly.

Before Chrome had the chance to reply, you beat him to it, and walked back into your room.

"Well, I'll see you around, have a good night," you said.

The automatic door closed as soon as you entered.

Chrome was left all alone. He could only watch you leave. He could not mutter a single word of protest. He really wanted to, but his sense of duty as a construct stopped him.

Fingers continued to play the plastic container. He finally took it out from his back, and looked at the small piece of cake. The whipped cream was starting to melt.

It was a planned gift for you. A small refreshment, hoping it could lead to something more.

Without a word, Chrome head back to his room. Throwing the cake away in the bin, as he walked along the corridor.

"Next time..." He said to himself.

---------------------------------------------------

Author's Notes:

This is a long time coming... I am so sorry to the person who requested this.

This fic with Chrome has been in my mind for a very long time. Like, when I first made this blog. I originally want to make it long because.....

But after a very long pondering, and covid :'), I decided less is more.

Lee stupid memes

Hello, I would like to request a headcannon regarding Lee and F!Commander who often accidentally see and equate Lee with a cat because of their behavior. I have a cat at home that behaves similarly to Lee, when chased it gets scared but slowly gets closer on its own. So I want to know how Lee would react if he came across this situation. Thank you very much for your time, have a nice day.

Author’s Notes:

WWWWWWWW… Is it the one in your pfp?! AYe, your cat is so cute!

Yes, Lee is a cat, and nothing will convince me otherwise!

-Punishing Eden

———————————————

I Also Got A Cat At Home, His Name is Lee...

Pgr Lee Headcanons

"Awww, they're so cute~" You commented as a cat was resting with her kittens. Watanabe ignored your comment and continue to care for the family of cats.

Among the five kitten, one has caught your attention. It was small, yet it radiates an standoffish energy. Whenever Watanabe tried to coax or touch it, the little kitten fought back and hissed to scold.

"He's a grumpy one..." Watanabe sighed, "... Just like someone over there..." He motioned at Lee who was busying looking at his control panel.

Tags: Lee, headcanons.

Lee (Palefire/Entropy)

It started out small, Lee noticed that sometimes you would stare at him. He initially, personally, don’t mind.

However, the more you observed him, the more your construct feels a little uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable as in: "Why are you looking at me like that?" he bluntly asked.

"Hm? Me? Oh, it’s nothing..." you said.

Your excuses and denial was meet with Lee's skepticism and suspicion.

As time went on, Lee noticed, you seem to treat him a little differently. You seem to be more... Lenient...or...maybe a little too affectionate.

You gave him trinkets and gifts. Sometime, you (unconsciously) teased him with snacks. But, he would give them all to Kamui.

Your behaviour puzzled Lee greatly.

"You have been acting strange lately, What are you up to?", "Commdant, please, my inner device is not a toy. Stop touching them.", "You do know we construct do not require food to function. These snacks prove no use for me.", "Commandant, what are you doing?", "If you don't need my help, I should get going.", "Stop being so childish.".

At one point, he would get fed up and confront you straight up:

"What are you doing? You have been treating me a little different lately. What is going on." he said.

"... What do you mean?" You were a little anxious from him calling you out. You tried to deny it.

But Lee was able to pressure you to confess. Thus, you finally cracked under the pressure.

"I just want to be closer to you..." you confessed.

Lee crossed his arms. He seems to understand where you were coming from, in a sense.

"You don't have to worry about me, [y/n]. I am fully capable of taking care of myself... But if you want to worry about someone, it should be you, yourself."

"But, don't worry... I will always be there for you, be it on missions or in the base." Lee spoke with professional tone.

"I know, but...you're a bit too aloof.... You know, like a cat." you said.

Lee.exe. Stopped working for 2 seconds.

He didn't seem to happy with what you said. He fully disagrees, and asked why would you think of him that way.

You told him your encounter of a family of cats during your mission with the Forsaken.

Watanabe taught you about how to deal with cats, and you thought it would be a good idea to exercise it on Lee.

Lee gets a little embarassed. He was embarassed to know that you have been seeing him as a cat all this time. Yet, he never caught on.

He holes up in his room after that. It took him a while to come back out.

Once he's out, made sure to put a little more effort into group activites, hoping you won't equate him to a grumpy cat again.
