Because baby Drones don't start with hair, what's it like giving someone their first wig?

I've never seen an Untrained Neural Network, nor upgraded one to a worker drone body. I imagine that they base it off the parent's preference, likely sticking to the longer side as it's easier to cut and style and figure it out that way. This is all guessing though.

Here's an idea if J starts bullying Nate...

I think it'd need two more sleeves for me in the middle to mediate, but, clever thinking!

How would J react if you did cut your hair... or wig?

Well it could go a couple ways:

Either she recognizes me and is a little upset because I looked fine before, mind you the one the solver can regen is the wig Jaybird made for me, so it's justifiable for her emotions

or

She doesn't recognize me and throws me out of my own shop, which once she saw me wearing my back up wig I use when mine is being deep cleaned in peroxide and I had to explain to her HOW I was Tessa. Anyways, thanks to that I try to line up washes with her sleeping.

Anyways, for the foreseeable future, there's no planned changes, and I like it long anyways, it's nice and warm and comfy.

She curtsied out of respect to the Eldritch Monster J. "Hello," The robotic Tessa greeted gently, admitting kindly in her Aussie voice,"Wow, you're still beautiful,"

The drone held out her hand, feeling a familiar warmth of care from her core. "I wanted to see you, you look so cool"

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.

Isn't it a bit ironic J calls you a princess sometimes?

I mean, it started out as a way to address me when I was little, since I was almost always in dresses and because of the status of my family. Then there was a period where she didn't call me it because she got in trouble when she was caught calling me a "princess" and I would get a major scolding.

I wasn't allowed out much around that time so books became a refuge for me, J liked reading me fairytales, some had princesses that were locked away by a dragon or a witch or something else like that. She resumed calling me "princess" in secret because she felt I was like a princess and I remember asking her why once she would do so

Her answer was: because despite your status, you've been locked away from the world, you tend to be good with birds, you're brave, but more so that your kindness never waivers despite the hell you endure.

It's kind of funny, anon, and sometimes she still calls me Princess, not as much, since I'm free now, but it doesn't upset me, being around Jaybird makes me happy

Okay so what's some of your favorite fairytales then?

I liked a lot of fairy tales when I was little, and still now

There's some standard ones: Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland

Then some less conventional ones, lots were sad though: The Velveteen Rabbit, The Little Match Girl, Julie Gerond and the PolkaDot Pony.

And some weren't even fairy tales: Dracula, Romeo and Juliet, Greek Mythology stories, the Twilight Saga books, the Manga Death Note... There's more but my memory is fuzzy, but yeah =3

Thanks for the ask.

The Polka Dot Pony by Sheldon Oberman and Fred Penner

This is the story of Julie Gerond with the golden hair She loved the merry-go-round at the summer long fair. It turned round and round it moved up and moved down and played all the sounds that a merry-go-round could.

Sounds like singing and laughing, ringing and clapping, and tingling and tapping and blowing your nose and humming and hissing and strumming and kissing? and drumming and whistling and tickling your toes And hooting and tooting and burping and chirping purring and whirring and thumping and bumping and clanging and banging And ROUND Julie goes, riding elephants, tigers, camels and dragons, she rides on their backs and she drives them in wagons. Each one is special and each has its own song, but the Polka Dot Pony is her favourite one

When Julie rides the pony, the polka dot pony, that pony with far away eyes She dreams of deep valleys, she dreams of green pastures, she dreams of blue afternoon skies, And birds at the top of a grey willow tree, and the wind in the leaves grey willow tree, and branches that sigh in a grey willow tree... At the Edge of the Shimmering Sea

Then mumble and grumble and stumble and croak, the wicked old woman in the merry-go-round spoke "THIS RIDE IS ALL OVER! IF YOU WANT TO GO ROUND, YOU MUST PAY 50 CENTS OR JUMP DOWN TO THE GROUND!" "TOMORROW THIS MERRY GO ROUND WILL BE GONE! YOU'D GET NO MORE MUSIC, YOU'D GET NO MORE SONG! BECAUSE I'LL SHUT IT AND LOCK IT AND TAKE IT AWAY! THERE'S OTHERS WHO'LL RIDE IT AND OTHERS WHO'LL PAY!"

But Julie Gerond, with the golden hair, loved that merry-go-round at the summer long fair It turned round and turned round and Julie started to cry moved up and moved down her tear came to lie in the polka dot pony's far away eye

One tear became two in the wood pony's eye. Then Julie Gerond heard the wood pony cry. "I was a real pony... and once I was free..." "'til that wicked old woman cast a spell upon me" "And now... I'm caught in this circle, I'm stuck on this pole" "And unless I touch earth, round and round and round I must go"

Long shadows at midnight, The full moon at midnight... The old woman is snoring at her merry go round The polka dot pony, so still and so silent but the shadows are hiding Julie Gerond

The old woman is snoring and droning and groaning, she's sputtering and muttering bad dreams in the night. Julie is sawing and scraping and cutting the wooden pole holding the pony so tight. The old woman's groaning and moaning and shaking. Julie's saw grinding and scratching and scraping, The old woman's yawning and stretching and waking.

Julie JUMPS on the pony! The wooden pole is breaking! And down goes the Polka Dot Pony! Smashing and crashing they fall! The Old Woman spins round as the hoof hits the ground! But Julie and Pony stand tall!

"I am Free! I am Real!" "I can Breathe! I can Feel!" "I can see with my far away eyes," "I can see my deep valleys, I can see my green pastures, I can see my blue afternoon skies."

Julie Gerond and the Polka Dot Pony ride away to a grey willow tree, They hear wind in the leaves, and branches that sigh, At the Edge of a Shimmering Sea

The End

"I know, you've been tricked by her too many times pretending to be me," she responded, her voice somber, yet still held her hands towards what she considered to be the most beautiful monster she had ever seen.

"You don't have to trust me, just... let me be here a while with you. Like when you stayed with me when I had to get needles at the doctors," the drone girl in the blue dress offered kindly, she laughed sorrowfully and reminisced, "You used to tell me to squeeze your hand as tight as I could when the needle went in, so it wouldn't hurt so bad..." She looked up to the eldritch monster, feeling at peace, even if she could be devoured or beaten up at any moment, she felt happy.

"If you want me to go, let me know. I want to respect your boundaries."

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.

"Nate, dear, no, you didn't," she comforted to him in her Aussie voice, still rubbing his back, "You were distressed. There there, all is better now. Tessie's here. I'm not going to leave, and I'll always do my best to bring you back." She held him for a while in silence before she asked gently, "Can I ask a favour of you?"

She found him, his core barely hanging on, his vessel damaged badly. Now, in the back room of her beauty shop, where she had a workshop, she was putting Nate back together. Something was off, she saw using the blackbox of his system that it was J who hurt him, but that didn't look like her J.

She waited for Nate to finish charging his new battery and awaken

nate wakes up fucking screaming and whimpering the poor boy looked around anxious..."w-weres......." Hopefully his conversation hasn't been picked up.... Or it was his cannon

I feared this day would come... Initiating protocol Lowercase J

When J and I had our little spat, I... I made a worker drone back up of J using all of my Jaybird's memories. I know it's wrong but, I can't live without J. I need her in my life.

This is a rough design of her, she will be active soon, I just wish I could've found a better internal battery for her, I can always fix that later, but she has an energy pack on her back.. I need my Jaybird, I need her. And if I have to use the spare I made, I will. Her combat form has a spare set of my J's legs and one spare weapon gauntlet... I... I hope I can get her working, I miss J so much.

It's ok, it's better to have someone than to have nobody...

Thank you electricity anon. It'll be nice having a receptionist again too, then...

No there literally isn't! An AI is just a machine like any other! The only difference is an AI is programmed to think like a human. KEY WORD. PROGRAMMED. I could program a robot to call me the queen of England, doesn't mean anything! Look, I'm sorry that you had that messy break up. But there's a lot of toasters in the hardware store.

🐟 anon

-uh oh, mean voice again- SHE WAS KILLED, SHE WAS KILLED IN COLD BLOOD, YOU WACKADOO! *sits down crying*

-small voice again- .... She was more than just some "toaster" she was my childhood friend, my first crush, my girlfriend... and now she's dead. I'm not going to go try to find a human or shack up with the solver or something because "they're more alive".... I just want Jaybird... even if she's just 1s and 0s, she GOT me, she cared... she really did... please, let a girl grieve...

I'm going to go watch Bluey, eat some oil based icecream and cry, does any drone want to join me?

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?

Can confirm, Jessa has sunk for @worldslastredemption and @copper-9spurgatory HOWEVER, there's WAY more Jays in the sky and I plan on keeping on with it! Through the fluff and the angst, I will persevere! Thanks for the fun times, WorldsLastRedemption!

I don’t get why people say Juzi is toxic. “Uzi killed J twice” okay?? Cant gfs explode their lover a couple of times?? if they weren’t madly in love, why does J keep coming back??

idk I thought it was funny but still. Corporate Goth x Scenemo. DO YOU SEE THE VISION??

She sighed sadly, fidgeting with her hair. "S-she's gone... gone gone... and this is the emergency protocol... since I had already started an emergency J, but only finished her now."

Did you see your Tessa replaced J!? What's your thoughts?

Wait huh?!

Can your hair even grow back? I thought it was just a wig

Main timeline Tessa here, yep! Remember, I have solver capabilities, just it takes a while. Don't worry too much about #feral j AU me, she's a tough little girlie.. I DO feel bad for that but, it's an interesting story.

(for Feral J AU RT) You needed a haircut anyways, it was too long!

That's really hurtful, anon! It wasn't JUST hair, it was a lovely gift from my old J. She spent HOURS weaving it and styling it.. it kept me warm and it made me feel safe... I will have to wait a while before it grows back, but I will grow it back out nice and long and I will be more careful next time. But be more kind with the words you say, it's really hurtful to say that to a girl who already had PTSD in regards to unwanted haircuts.

Ref Sketch for Mauled Tessa - Feral J AU

@copper-9spurgatory is to thank for this... uhhh... "avant-garde" hairstyle.

part of the Feral J AU

Tessa lied, keeping it a secret like the dark teal hair under her toque, only letting the bangs protrude out, "I had an accident, dear... It'll be alright,"

She rubbed her shoulder covered in gauze, wincing at the pain but felt it had healed some, "The Solver's doing it's job." Tessa let go of Nate and sat on the floor and started crying, sending a text to her darling @sd-lowercase-j ((don't worry you're not needed yet)) that she was alive, but injured.

Nate came out of Uzi's room upon the commotion

@nate-doorman-elliot

Tessa was standing in the Doorman household, wearing one of Nori's spare beanies and also her shoulder was bandaged with oil stained gauze. The blue-eyed drone, as soon as she saw Nate, she collapsed into his arms and started crying. "I'm so glad you're safe!" she whimpered, holding her little darling Nate closely.
