A few days passed, and I was just lying on my sofa as usual.
I haven't left my hab the whole time, and why would I?
I have everything I need inside for now, the hundred or so requisitions would last me for years if I didn't make anything. Which, of course, I would. I still want more fun weapons. Even if I wanted to leave, I was banned.
Literally banned, there was a poster of me on all three of the doors, stating that I'm not to be let outside, no matter what, without Khan's permission. I've muted the group chat as well, when it started pinging me constantly, apparently Khan was basically unknowingly torturing Uzi, by taking her to work with him. Which was sad and kind of funny at the same time.
Then the banging on the door started, basically a ritual now.
No one could get into my habit anymore, because frankly, it wasn't possible. Unless you wanted to nuke the door or could solve dozens of layered CAPTCHA in a time limit.
Which nobody could do, maybe Joseph, but I'd doubt he would sell me out.
Then the shouts came in, which were basically whispers, due to the soundproofing I have done.
Ten or so minutes later, I was left in peace once again.
I was watching the original RWBY, the very, very first one.
The animation looked horrible, but the story remained the same. And I wanted to check out how the shows and anime looked in the 2000s.
There were good ones, like Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Just to name a few.
Suddenly, I received a message.
DM/Teacher: Why are you skipping class again?
I paused my anime, thinking how to answer, then suddenly a brilliant idea struck.
DM/Titania: I'm sick, so yeah.
DM/Teacher: [Teacher raising eyebrow, GIF].
I Sar for a moment, then my drunk ass realized, drones can't get sick.
I just sat on my sofa for a moment.
Then another brilliant idea struck me.
DM/Titania: But seriously, people have been banging on my wall, ordering me to come out, no idea what that's about.
DM/teacher: That was the WDF. They have been looking for you.
DM/Titania: Do you perhaps, know why?
DM/teacher: Something about the outside, not sure.
I raised a brow, shakily, and I got up.
It was boring in here anyway. Might as well check out what they want.
DM/Titania: I will come to class tomorrow, if I don't get arrested or something.
Another GIF was sent my way, but there was no further comment, so I opened a door, to see no one.
Sighing, I started heading towards the doors.
A few minutes later, I was by the doors, and I saw Khan, and an immediate sigh left my form.
I slowly approached him, Khan himself turning to me, raising a brow at my unkempt form.
I just approached him and stopped.
"Why were your men at my door, for the past few days?"
Khan raised a brow, then sighed.
"You are allowed to leave the bunker, but under a lot stronger restrictions."
I cocked my head to the side.
"What kind of restrictions?"
Khan sighed again,
"Only in the days when we have determined that there will be no clouds for several hours from when you leave."
I nodded, it was acceptable.
Then Khan continued.
"And the teacher required your attendance to be brought up, you are let out just because of him."
I cocked my head to the other side, my CPU and brain slowly processing the information.
In the end, I just gave a nod and left.
After all, I had to celebrate my own birthday.
And I did that, by drinking myself to the edge of death and life. I would have invited the group if they were of age.
The next day, I showed up in class.
My head and somehow CPU both wrecked, I was leaning from one side to the other, this wasn't even a hangover, I was still fucking drunk.
I sat at my table, barely paying attention to class, since it was biology.
I looked around slowly, noticing several stares directed at me, including the teacher's, which did not turn away once I looked back at them.
Deciding to fuck it, turning on the recording software just in case, I slammed my head on the desk, and entered [light sleep mode].
After an unknown period of time, I was awoken by, of course Lizzy.
Because of course it had to be her.
I groaned, staring at her.
She merely waved me off, then I was dragged to the cafeteria, apparently, I'd slept for a while.
In the cafeteria, much like in class, I slammed my head against the table; unfortunately, allowed to sleep because these kids wouldn't let me.
Of course, they were vile creatures, especially Lizzy with Rebecca, they couldn't even let a man rest.
A few minutes later, I was slapped awake, apparently having dozed off.
I groaned again, a pitiful noise coming out of my mouth as I tried not to puke inside the drone's body.
Did these kids not have anything better to do?
Are they actually bored to such a point that they would sacrifice another human(drone) for their own amusement?
Then I was slapped once again, softer this time.
My optics are clearing a bit.
"Dude, are you drunk?"
I wasn't sure who said it, but judging by the speech, it was either Thad or Darren.
"Yup.." I popped the p, the word slowly trailing off into silence.
"Why are you drunk before class?"
That was a different voice now, definitely female.
"I have been drunk for a while..."
A hiccup escaped my human body; hopefully, no one caught that. Now, I picked up my head, and I slowly looked around, only meeting eye to eye with Joseph, who was sitting right next to me....
I cursed everything the world held dear in my mind, slowly turning away from him.
Collapsing on the stool and table again.
A few seconds later, I was smacked awake once again, my body rigidly shooting up, then slowly untensing, I quickly looked around, realizing that it had been Joseph who had awoken me once again.
I sent a glare his way, which he just replied to something in Italian, as he did from time to time.
And that's how the day went, I was pretty sure I was physically dragged and perhaps even carried, a few times, as I went through classes and breaks.
God, I hated, but loved alcohol.
Then suddenly, I was standing in front of my hab, what looked to be Uzi and Joseph, trying to hack through the door. Everyone just stood silently, awkwardness flowing through the air.
I raised my head and spoke.
"Y'all need help with that?" I asked, my tone humorous even as hiccups and coughs wracked my human body, barely suppressing the noise of them.
"Bite me!"
Was the answer I received, no doubt from Uzi.
A few minutes passed, and finally, with a cheer from Uzi, and a sigh from Joseph, the door opened.
Only for them to be greeted by a second door, far more protected, not to mention the amount of extra CAPTCHA, all layered even thicker than the first door.
I heard several groans, then I was dragged to the door.
I just connected myself to the door, a few seconds passed, and it opened, the door rising vertically.
Then I stumbled into my hab, which was a mess, several pairs of optics widened, as the giant hab, which I've basically rebuilt, looked like it had gone through a hurricane.
Then I saw a bottle, of alcohol...
It was human alcohol....
And my mind sobered for a few moments, suddenly I spun around. The others were standing behind me.
"Well thanks for bringing me home, but I'm sure I'll be fine from here."
A small nervous grin formed on my face.
Then I saw Joseph, he was looking around the hall, then I saw his optics hollow for less than a millisecond, then he reverted to his normal, nonchalant appearance.
He stared me right in the optics, a small knowing smile forming on his face.
"I think he can handle himself from here",
He intoned, his expression not shifting for a moment.
A few questions were sent my way, to which I just nodded, my optics still locked with Joseph's.
Finally, everyone left, then I immediately buffed up the encryptions on both of the doors, to a point I myself would struggle to get in, without a master key that is.
(The neglected children of outpost3 &Thad)
Titania: buffed the encryptions on the doors, you'll never get in.
And with that, I muted the group once again, immediately falling on my sofa, already in [Sleep Mode], before I hit the couch.
[A/N: sorry for any mistakes, I feel like shit rn so if anything, just comment on where it is, ima look over it tmrw myself.]
