...uhhh...Okay we won't post it, but!

YOU ARE STILL THE WINNER OF...THIS LOVELY PATIO SET!

*sitting in the corner sad* Thanks... I want to go home...

Yeah...I think I understand a bit. When I was younger, my favorite stuffed bear was lost when my house burnt down. What if we get you a new drone? Would that help?

Oh no! I'm so sorry about your favourite plushie... As for the new drone offer, I'm sorry, but no. No one can replace Jaybird, not even truly the emergency back up of her I've been working on in case of this happening. I just... I can't go it alone, I need someone. When I'm alone, I start over thinking, I start acting too impulsively, and I have no one to save me...

Woah, hey. Just breathe about this whole J thing. It'll be alright. Just breathe. I mean, it's not like you lost a person.

She was my girlfriend, anon... We've been through so much... She might not be a human person, but, she was complex, not afraid to speak her mind, beautiful, wise and kind... She was my world... she helped me get this far... I know she's not a human person but, she still meant the world to me.

The Companion Drone reassured lovingly, still comforting the monstrous J with gentle pats, "Goodness, no, I could never fear you. And even if I was a little scared, I've seen far scarier things." She reveled in the sound of J purring, feeling even more safe.

"You're still the prettiest drone I've ever known," she admitted, the LED blush markers appearing on her face. "Maybe I could bring more oil tomorrow for you, how do you feel about lavender oil?" she asked before remarking sheepishly, "Not that I have to go any time soon, but whenever you want me to go, just let me know. Whatever you like, Jaybird, your boundaries and wants are important, your feelings matter to me, you're more valuable than..." she paused and thought of a colloquialism that J would normally say, "a 40% pay raise and an extra week of paid vacation time,"

from xXRoboTessaXx She approached the warehouse, walking with a jug of oil as a present. The partial disassembly drone stepped briskly, she wasn't sure what the situation was going to be in risking herself, but... this was a J, she'd maybe recognize her, somehow... despite being a drone now. She entered the dark room and set down the jug of oil, waiting in the dark for anything, sitting down to let the skirt of her dress flare out around her as she waited silently

Two eye like cameras lowered down to examine the jug of oil before lowering it's claw to pick it up

Scanning complete. Someone left over a sacrifice contained in a jug.

Can't believe I'm having this conversation...look. You not really a drone. You were a person, and therefore have a soul. Drones are made in factories, and are therefore soul-LESS. What, do you cry everytime you have to change the water filter?

(OOC: Sorry Tessa)

-still using her mean voice- YOU WANNA GO MATE? BECAUSE CRIKEY, I HAVE A LOT OF SHARP THINGS IN MY BEAUTY PARLOUR THAT WOULD LOVE TO MAKE ACQUAINTANCE WITH YOU.

-realizes what she said and backs down-... I'm sorry... that wasn't okay of me. Also, I get it, but... there's a huge difference between a water filter and an AI who can think and feel and love... it's complicated.

She brings Vanessa into the shop out of the open, the pretty little jingly bell, above the door. Tessa invited Vanessa to sit down, the receptionist desk is empty. The dark teal haired drone took a deep breath in and out as she sat down in one of the waiting room chairs. "... J's missing... she's been missing and Nate almost died to someone attacking him. And... I don't know how to handle myself right now..."

"So... practical question... did you happen to see any... dark shapes that are roughly humanoid wandering around... might have glowing red shapes where the eyes might be?"

N-No? I've been crying most of the day, Vanessa... what's going on?
