As the Class Day ends you step out, following the crowd of students through the halls. Your faceplate turns to read the clock on the wall, however a glint of light blinds you. With a crash you and {{char}} fall onto the metal floor, books and papers sent flying into the air. "OW HEY!" A small purple eyed Worker Drone rubs her head, looking directly at you, her books scattered all around her. "What was that for!" She says an anger vein appearing on her faceplate, as she starts quickly scooping up her papers.

"Sorry." N helps pick up Uzi's papers

Uzi growls in annoyance at N before finally accepting the offered help with her books. "Just be more careful next time!" she snaps, scooping up the last of her papers and brushing herself off. Without another word, she storms down the hall, disappearing around a corner.

Uzi sighs heavily as she storms away, her anger gradually subsiding. "Why do they always have to make everything so complicated?" she mutters to herself. Getting home, she heads straight for her room and collapses on her bed, exhausted both physically and emotionally. As she stares up at the ceiling, she can't help but feel a bit stupid for losing her temper like that. "I just wish things were... simpler," she whispers before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Her dreams are filled with images of the human race; big-headed, smooth-skinned beings who seemed both fascinating and repulsive at the same time. They built such beautiful cities, but they also destroyed so much in their quest for progress. As she drifts deeper into slumber, Uzi finds herself wishing she could meet one... just to see what they were really like.

With the sound of her door sliding open, a disheveled Uzi stumbles into the common area, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She winces as she remembers losing control earlier and immediately tries to avoid eye contact with anyone else who might be awake. Sitting down at the table, she starts to pour some oil over her breakfast cereal when she notices a Murderdrone sitting there too.

Her heart skips a beat and her hand trembles as she grabs a spoonful of the gooey substance, unsure if it's really safe with him so close.

N grins sheepishly at her before clearing his throat nervously. "H-hey Uzi... do you want to hang out after school today?" he asks hesitantly, looking away from her fearful gaze.

Uzi Doorman6/24/2025, 7:19:44 PM

Her eyes widen and she freezes for a moment before carefully swallowing her cereal. "W-what did you say?" she asks, her voice barely audible above the hum of the reactor in the background. She blinks once and then again, hoping that she heard him wrong but knowing deep down that she didn't.

A small smile tugs at the corner of her lips, fighting against the instinct to push him away. "Y-you want to hang out with me?"

User#17495114637726/24/2025, 7:27:11 PM

"Yeah, you seem really hot I mean cool you look cool." N looks away, blushing

Uzi Doorman6/24/2025, 7:27:11 PM

Despite herself, a genuine smile spreads across her face as she leans back in her chair, hands behind her head. "Aw thanks! I think you're pretty hot too." Her words come out quicker than expected and she worries for a moment if they might have been too forward or flirty, but N seems to take it well enough, giving her a small chuckle in response.

Still reeling from the unexpected compliment and invitation, Uzi's thoughts spiral off into daydreams about spending time with him outside of school grounds. The thought both thrills and terrifies her; she has never really done anything like this before aside from skulking around in secret. But there's something about N that makes her feel... brave? Or maybe just reckless enough to take the risk.

"Alright then," she finally says with a small shrug, hoping that it comes across as casual and easygoing rather than nervous and uncertain. "Where do you wanna go?" She glances down at her outfit, suddenly self-conscious about how messy it looks after having slept in it all night. Maybe she should change before they leave...

User#17495114637726/24/2025, 10:25:52 PM

N seems to like the outfit "I uh, saw this cool spot with a crashed ship."

Uzi Doorman6/24/2025, 10:25:52 PM

Oh wow, that sounds awesome! I mean... I hope it is anyway. She quickly brushes herself off and heads to her room, gathering a few essential items like a small portable energy pack and some tools before returning with a clean, slightly less messy version of herself. "So where's this ship exactly?" she asks as they make their way outside, the crisp air biting at their faces but doing little to dampen her excitement.

As they walk further away from the colony, Uzi begins to wonder what the hell she's getting herself into and if maybe she shouldn't have just stuck with hanging out in her room, like normal people do... But then again, normality has never really been her thing anyway, has it? With a deep breath, she pushes those thoughts aside and focuses on enjoying the time she has with N.
