Let me ramble | VERY SELECTIVELY accepting

// OOOHOHOHOHOHO, FASTEN UR SEATBELT, 'CAUSE I AM GONNA GO ON ABOUT LIZZY AND ALL THAT'S HAPPENED TO HER AND HER FRIENSHIP WITH DOLL. Although I am gonna try and put everything in order so that my ramble about her truly makes sense, so bear with me here.

// So to start, before everything went down, Lizzy's life was pretty much great. She was one of the most popular folks in RoboPrep school alongside her best friend Doll and some others, and they would do everything together-- from slumber parties to ditching class to teasing the Purple scrub who's always rambling about killing all humans and railguns. Life, as they both know it, is great-- they wouldn't have it otherwise.

Doll is the friend she's known the longest, as they met when they were literal Babies/Untrained Neural Networks. She doesn't even mind Doll and her family's faulty vocal chips (which make them speak Russian rather than common). Though to be fair, it's not something drones would mind anyways as they are programmed with a built-in translator in their brains, but I digress. In fact, it was thanks to Doll that Lizzy learned she likes girls. Doll happened to be her first crush, too.

Then, the Purple Scrub leads the murder drones to the colony, and while some drones die and most survive, there IS a major difference afterwards. For starters, Doll is more... quiet. Distant. Not as happy as she used to be, as if something happened to her. And when Lizzy asks? Doll reveals that her family had been killed by a murder drone that calls itself 'V'. Lizzy at first assumed she's joking (as her own father survived so Doll's parents must have too), but when she actually goes to Doll's house that weekend? She realizes that it wasn't a joke. Doll's parents are actually dead. It's... a shock, but Lizzy doesn't think about it too much. Until one day, by circumstance, a murder drone sneaks into her room with intention to kill-- the same drone that killed Doll's mom and dad. But while initially frightened, Lizzy manages to keep V from killing her by feigning immediate attraction to her and promising 'friendship'. V is confused slightly, but views it as a chance to trick a dumb worker into letting her kill everyone and... goes along with it.

Doll eventually discovered this when Lizzy shared a photo of herself and V by accident, and so shecalled Lizzy over saying "I want to show you something". Lizzy, of course, visited her bestie, and what happened next shocked her; Doll stated that ever since her parents died, she's had this... new ability... inside of her. She even showed her some of what her new ability could do. And seeing her friendship with V, she offered a proposition; Lizzy keeps up the friendship so that Doll can get some good ol' fashion payback. Which involved killing the Prom queen candidates. Of course Lizzy was against it at first due to having a weird gut feeling about Doll's new power, but relented because Doll was her friend and no one would miss a Murder Drone, right?

Well, as the deaths counted up and Prom day grew closer, Lizzy was kept in the dark about what Doll was specifically doing with the bodies, and when the day finally came, she found herself warning V-- who she thought she'd never get attached to-- to RUN. Of course that failed, and V was trapped and Lizzy was flung away as what was basically a massacre broke out. She recovered and helped N and V fix themselves before escaping home, and after that called Doll to see if she was okay. But... nothing. No responses, even after a message spam or two. As if Doll's just... gone. And that hurts.

For the following days up until the camping trip actually arrives, Lizzy was constantly wearing a vapid facade, hiding behind empty popular girl smiles. She acts like she's 'replaced' Doll with Rebecca and some other popular drones, but... she hadn't. She missed Doll greatly now that she had just... vanished, and nothing was the same anymore. Not even wiping her feet all over that Purple-eyed freak was as fun anymore.

Of course, said freak later turns into a monster and massacres the class. And while some drones make it out alive (Lizzy included again), at this point, she is... utterly traumatized, using her phone to get her mind off of everything and not doing a good job at it.

By now, her perfect life is in shambles. She's lost a lot of people close to her, the purple freak is even MORE unapproachable and not just because of her ugly fashion sense but because she just ate almost everyone in the most violent and gruesome way possible. And Lizzy herself played a part in her snapping, for all she knows. And worst of all... Doll is gone. Following that failed plan to kill V, it's like her bestie dropped off of the face of Copper 9. She hasn't responded to any of her texts, and she's... probably dead for all that Lizzy knows.

Her best friend is dead for all she knows, and almost all of the popular kids she would even bother hanging around are all dead no thanks to that purple monster. By now, Lizzzy acts as if nothing is happening to her and her life is still the same 'alpha ritch girl', but... it's not. She's deeply traumatized from all that's happened to her, and she's wearing a smirky-face-mask to hide all that's bothering her ever since all that's happened.

She wants Doll to be okay. But the radio silence is making her lose hope. And she has no friends to talk about it to. And her father (AND teacher) is practically apathetic to everything so he's automatically no help. If that damn purple freak hadn't led those drones here, none of this would have happened. Doll would still be here. No one would be dead. She'd... still have her perfect life.

But she can't show anyone her sadness, not now. She still has to keep that smirky-face-mask on for a little longer.

@farflungstarlightmuses sent: ⭐⭐⭐ (one each for Uzi, V and Lizzie?)

For every star I get... | Accepting

Uzi is constantly updating her 'Cute pictures of baby cows' slideshow, using doing so between the events of every episode so far (1 through 5). She finds that cows are the most adorable animals in the universe, and even has some (but not all) of the pictures she finds on her phone, so that she can look at them when not on her computer in the Colony. Baby cows kind of just calm her down, and she'll MURDER anyone who thinks otherwise (unless it's N, V, Dad or Thad of course).

Despite not needing them to see any more, V still keeps the glasses she had as a worker drone, having popped out the lenses due to her eyesight being good now. She puts them on whenever she reads things (and if asked about it, she'll just say "it feels nicer to have them on"). And on the topic of what she reads, she reads a lot of books about Golden retrievers for reasons that definitely aren't N's cute-ass fault. But she also likes books about murder, too.

Prior to everything going downhill, Lizzy and Doll had a tendency to do almost everything together. From skipping class to club-related things to even attending slumber parties with others they considered 'their level' of popularity. Heck, it was common for drones to joke about them being a couple. And even though they weren't officially, Lizzy practically embraced that since she kinda crushed on Doll. But now that Doll has practically vanished following the Prom incident, they just... don't. Not anymore. Lizzy won't admit it to anyone, but she greatly misses Doll and wants nothing more than to see her again. Despite seeming like she's moved on with the other popular kids, she still misses Doll a lot and thinks about her all the time.

Anonymous sent: character development anon! is lizzy usually late or on-time?

// Hi, Character Development anon! To answer your question, Lizzy is almost always late for anything. But mostly for school.

She spends hours looking in the mirror and adjusting her makeup, clothes, hair and everything else in between, so if you're a friend of hers, it's practically become a thing to expect her to not be on the exact time that is scheduled. And the sole reason she hasn't gotten in trouble for school lateness is because Teacher (her father) doesn't care and always excuses it because 'Daughter privileges'. That, and he doesn't truly care anymore. So believe us when I say almost every kid in the class is outraged by Lizzy's 'Daughter privileges', Uzi especially.

The sole exception to this issue was when Robo-Prep held it's first official prom, which was the few times that she was not late at all. Doll's nagging her to hurry up and make sure V arrived was probably a major factor to this, though.

// Almost forgot, Lizzy tag dump as well.
