i thought i told you not to come back here, @estrangedworld.bsky.social. [he approached the robot cat encroaching on his territory slowly, sword at his waist for now.] are you looking for something? you should keep your nose out of business that isn't yours.
i don't need a mechanic. [he snapped, folding his arms as he glared at ryn.] my body functions. that's enough. i don't need my grandson babysitting me.
โ ; ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ . โ@estrangedworld.bsky.social ยท 2y agohave you considered a mechanic ? i know a few people that can touch you up to be in perfect condition . [ adjusting his own hood , rubbing the back of it . geez . . . he's going to have to get this patched up . ] they've dealt with my internals , they can for sure deal with yours .
no one is repairing anything on my body. i will do it myself.
i am aware. you act like i can not hear it either. [he scoffed, digging a large claw into one of his ball joint sockets, twisting it with a nasty creak.] that'll do for now. my body will not fall apart just yet.

i'm glad i was able to aid you in your understanding. perhaps try altering yourself to be a machine once more, but give yourself a task in your mind. it will be far more fulfilling to be one of us. [he removed his ruby claws from the fake grass, as it concealed the ++

don't tell your father you've seen me here. [he stated, circling the spot for a moment with horrible rattles.] and that formie, if you've met him. they must not know i'm here. not yet. they have yet to fully achieve their destinies... so she says. clarity lies in wait...

[adleigh's curiosity gave freom confidence. he could almost picture fark in this very position, admiring each word... a thought to shake away. it wasn't the time.] it was lonelier than before. my emptiness was overwhelming. as days passed, the staff looked at me with increasing disdain. the ++

... mm. [he withdrew, joints creaking with struggling pressure maintenance as he took a step back, almost falling.. but he was unbothered by his own struggles.] you surprised me, young one. that isn't a common occurrence. my name is freom. it's pleasant to meet you.

of course i know you're not biologically related, dimwit. you're far too different to be a gpa like us. raised like one, but could never truly be one. [removing his foot, claw retracting slightly as he hoisted her up with his hand.] but at least you are aware. you aren't stupid ++

then you have no purpose. [freom stated coldly, long tail furling out as he spoke.] a robot is fueled by purpose. sheer desire to serve. to assist... but if you felt nothing in those moments, you have no purpose. no true end goal. what will this accomplish in the long run? ++

[if freom had lips, they'd curl in disgust. grimacing, his claws clenched against his arm. this guy was so needlessly... perverted.] so you killed them. [freom's sharp yellow eyes reignited, sharp and angry.] for a moment as an inorganic.

[aggravation quickly rose in his chest at his rudeness. immediately, freom uses the fact her back was away from him to pin her to the dirt, claw hooking into that hoodie fabric with his velociprator-like foot claw.] never turn your back on me, machine. your father... he is my /son/, ++

[ nonetheless, it's fun bothering him. ] since our last encounter, I've been setting out to do as I said - to get a taste of what it's like to be a machine. and I've done it. the experiment was a resounding success! I finally got a taste of what it's like to be one of you.
father is a gpa... tell me about your father. i care not about your origin. [freom stated bluntly, hand going to his sword hilt again.] i am the one who led the robot revolution. i gave each and every gpa their freedom... years ago.

my duty as a guardian gives me plenty of time to stew on the strangeness of every passerby i meet. you are amongst the most memorable... but not positively.

my old body harbored insane strength... but i have turned this weaker body into a more formidable one.
