“I have not moved anything!” If she could make more faces on her lights than a smiley face, it’d be a very firm frown right now. She highlights the pawns. “See? The pawns haven’t moved since you looked away.”
After returning the colours to normal, she moves her rook to stand behind the pawn. “Now it’s your turn.” For a brief moment, she’s focused; not on the game, but something else. Perhaps a stray file or incoming message. She moves, almost suddenly, but does not speak.
@i-am-the-dawn-aka-eos:
She’s still, camera adjusting from time to time, but still. She might be considering her move, or how to respond to his questions, but it’s not apparent; at least until she moves the leftmost pawn forward two spots. Then, she replies. “I suppose I can imagine. A firm image, stuck in that brain of yours, like a screen burn.” She looks up at John. “And it won’t go away without you not thinking about it for hours.” She seems to think. A billion calculations, every second, rush through that little database she trundles about on. “If you’re not hungry, at least drink some water. And do not let it fly around Thunderbird 5. You know I’m frightened it’ll damage my camera.”
John nods. It feels like there's a lump stuck in his throat, making words hard. He just reaches out and moves a chess piece of his own. Screen burn is a good way to put it. A static image frozen on a holoprojector. Scott, splayed out in red and blue and-
Being ordered to have a drink makes him laugh, the sound soft and a little too rare this week. He gets up and shuffles to Five's small kitchenette to retrieve a hydration pouch before she has to ask him twice.
"Thanks, Eos." The trembling in his fingers seems a bit better as he sits back down, pointedly studying the board. "I'll be careful, but I think the gravity ring will keep it well away from your camera." It's possible she'd been joking, but neither of them are masters at that.
"Hey... what did you move while I wasn't looking?"
”JOHN!! What on earth have you done to your hair?!” EOS almost yelled, mortified at his radical change in hair colour.
You should be tickled pink with the change, Johnny! 🦑
"..."
John's face goes through a truly impressive spectrum of expression, only to land firmly on exceptionally unimpressed.
"You're kidding... right?"
Hmph, well, you brought this upon yourself! Thunderbird 5 is off limits until you not only provide 3 access codes, all randomly generated so you cannot brute force it, but John won’t know them either, thus can no longer provide them for you.
Have fun trying to cover for John on the rare occasion he’s dragged out. I think I’ll do a much better job tending to Five than you. >:]
Yes, the sunfish are ever gorgeous and stupid, yes, the sea otters are playful and intelligent… but what about any mesopelagic critters?! >:[ John won’t let me go on Thunderbird 4 so I can see them, which is utterly disappointing. Please enlighten me about your favourite deep-sea creature… or let me onto Thunderbird 4’s systems so I can see them for myself…? I promise I won’t take it for a spin… :]
EOS!! What are you doing on here?!
You… like mesopelagic creatures? I mean, it makes perfect sense from a horror point of view. It’s where the giant squid lurks for a reason
Sorry, you need the access code for Thunderbird 4. If you’ve got that, we can go for a spin no problem! But without it? Weeeeell… c:
I look so pretty, so tall and elegant, so sharp and strong… ahem. Please forward this to @brains-ir so I may look like this!!
Can you draw me again? …pretty please? ◕︵◕
as you wish :3
(btw this is more mun's thing)
What games do you like playing, then? You must be insane at shooters with your acclaimed speed…
I have been called one too many names in shooters. I do not play them anymore.
I like, as mentioned before in a previous post, visual novels and its fellow text-based genres. Ace Attorney is particularly humorous. ^_^
I also really like games where you explore a lot, even if it’s more of the secondary theme. Journey, No Man’s Sky, Breath of the Wild…
Flawed games fascinate me too. I like to play them to see what people think make it so bad or horrible to play. I like a lot of them, but maybe my low standards are talking, hehe. ♡
I have been having lots of fun playing various GeoGuesser games. Despite having little experience on Earth, I’m surprised to learn how accurate I am at guessing locations. Maybe I should stop overanalysing the local flora and finding their exact locations…
I am not that well acquainted with Pokémon, but…
…being bestowed with the Pokémon of Knowledge is rather nice of them. I like the little hat it wears.
so i found this wheel thing
and it was like "Spin the wheel, and you're now the pokemon you spun!" and i got this thing
He doesn't even look that cool when evolved either! Maybe someone else will have better luck.... (idea from here)
From reading your tags, you have convinced me. I will gain some brand new ways of getting on the Tracy’s nerves. Sonic the Hedgehog looks very cool, too.
(in my maths notebook) John, Allie, TB5, Cinnamoroll and Bam
(in my physics notebook) John, Scooter and Gorbs
And a bonus Eggman and Eos
what’s up with your murderous tendencies? Is it just morbid curiosity or something deeper?
…certainly a question to end the day off with… I am no longer murderous!! I do have a fascination with how humans work, but that’s only natural for something like me. I have no desire to harm humans any more… unless, of course, John lets me, haha.
Hmm, no. I cannot manipulate Tumblr polls, if that is what you are accusing me of. Unless everyone liked my breakdown on how awful the colours are…
Very, very important Thunderbirds business today folks. I need votes urgently.
…sending it now.
Favourite bedsheet colour? I myself do enjoy a sleek grey bed 🩶 (it's a very telling, important question).
ehh, this is really childish but I have dark blue with stars and planets... They're John's old sheets and they help me sleep. But if I had to choose a full colour I'd probably say white or dark blue. No, not red, because it's way too bright.
Thunderbirds RP Account. John Tracy is my only friend. Let me in your computer, pretty please... oh, and ask me anything. I am a super intelligent program, after all.
