WEREWOLVES BUT LAMER
[Neztach Battle 1, 2]
An arise trots in, A bit nervous– He looks up to the one holding his leash
"Arise?"
"Yes yes you'll be fine we'll get you back as you where-"
They hesitate to pat Drac on the head-
"Oh, here to get your pet zapped today? 0ω0"
The senator with the group lags behind slightly.
"...Snort."
Good enough for confirmation.
"I'm not the normal runner buuuuuuut our friend has been missing for the past day and this machine really needs to be powered up! 0ω0"
"Ah, more volunteers? I was running some tests in the back. How may we help you?"
"Well… We are here because my dear friend is.. Currently an arise and well I would like that fixed. q3"
They motion to the arise they have on a leash
"Arise-"
The senator thinks about trying to pull attention to himself... Then decides to just snort in the arise's direction.
"You're not one of those weirdos right? 0ω0"
"…Pardon? What do mean by that? q3"
"I have been getting myself quite acquainted with the machine myself and would be happy to help set the specifications. Was there any form in particular you were looking for?"
"Alice you can't just approve an order like that!"
"Not after someone pulled that last week.......0ω0"
"Mwaaaaow!"
"Well of course, but I prefer to see the best in our clients first."
Nuts.
"D-draco you don't think doing tricks or something would work, would it..? ;)"
"We'll be happy to have your friend fixed if you can prove that your friend is a person, or you have been checked by a specialist who recommended us to you. 0ω0"

"Would the person who ran this machine count as a specialist? She had informed us in the first place that Draco here is indeed a person. q3"
"Isn't that right? q3"
They bend down to drac's level
Drac vigorously nods his head-
"Hmmmmmm? She didn't tell me yesterday that we would be having someone like you coming in, and she hasn't showed up for work today....0ω0"
"Well when we had gotten Draco's diagnostic I would have to say that she had been in… A precarious situation- q3"
"She is likely busy with something by Longfur's request, if I needed to estimate."
"I assume she may be hiding from some notails at the moment- Waiting for them to lose her trail and all. q3"
If you can call it a notail.

"You knoooooow if my friend is being threatened it would be better for you to, you know, explain the situation. 0ω0"
"If something has happened, I too would rather like to know."
"She was in a cage with some other animals when we found her- She told us that Draco is an arise and me and several others had freed her from her cage and fled as her captors had returned. q3"
"That is all I know, We had to run as well. q3"
"Where was this."
"YOU'RE HERE TO GET YOUR FRIEND CHANGED BACK WHEN LOTT'IE IS KIDNAPPED!?! 0ω0"
"Where is she?! This is a lot more important! 0ω0"
"Last we saw of her she was in the forest. q3"
"I assumed she ran as well. q3"
"......................................A bit hard to run while caged......0ω0"
"I would appreciate it if you were a bit more precise about this."
"You have to take us to her right now. 0ω0"
"We unlocked it. She could have. q3"
K-13205 stands up, fur puffed up as electricity crackles through the air. "Take us to where you last saw her. This is important!"

"Being kidnaped by notails isn't a joke."
"As you wish, come along now. q3"
They begin to walk to where they remember it all going down
"A-arise?"
"S-snort?"
Alice leaves the ray to follow to where her friend was last seen.
The group follows Mx. Paint into the woods as they retrace their steps back to the camp.
[[ LobotomyCorporation OST ] - First Warning]

They barely see the edge of the camp when the transformed O-8 approaches the group.

"Snnnzer....."
"Yikes, she forgot to take her tranquillizers! 0ω0"
"Do you know anything about this?"
"Shit– That thing is still here–"
"That.. That is what we where running from. q3"
K-13205 slowly backs away. "Why is she like that? Who did this to her? 0ω0"
"And where is Lot'Br?"
"It had just happened when we tried to release your friend. q3"
"Herkkk!!!"
"I think she took offense to that statement! 0ω0"
"Hey O-8, it's me, K-13205, I've been on your operating table a few times. I think you have one of my kidneys. Do you think you can let us see our friend? 0ω0"
K-13205 rolls a 20 sided die. A 19 is rolled.
"Hoff."

O-8 rears down onto her two legs, letting the group into the camp.

"Ah… You two know eachother? q3"
"Ah. It is that one."
"Well I suppose whatever happened back then was a misunderstanding. q3"
A big misunderstanding, maybe.
Yeahhh-
"SARRRK!!!!!"
O-8 rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +5. A 10 is rolled.
O-8 threatens Mx.Paint with a quick claw slash. She does not think it was a misunderstanding and is happy to make her point clear. vocal cords to do so or not.
"Lets avoid upsetting her, pleeeeeeeese? 0ω0"
Alice enters the camp quietly, keeping a look out for points of interest.
"I will shut my trap for now. q3"
...NO-12 quietly walks into the camp.
Aheem- Whimper-

The group investigates the camp. It doesn't take much to find..... Lot'br.
What's left of her anyway.
Slices of fabric, skin, her beak, and her goggles.

"Oh.....oh...."
"…Oh.."
"O-oh goodness.."
Alice stares silently at the mess of parts... before falling to the ground.
...We should have stayed for them.
"Well.....uh....better that the species had a chance than....not have one.... 0ω0"
"…."
"..Arise…"
"...of course, after thousands of years, I had made the mistake of giving myself hope again."
"But of course that was never going to happen with the notails around, was it?"
"Sorry to get your hopes up......."
"Skkkekekekekeke."
"We can....take her googles as a reminder of her. It's kind of cute how it still shows expressions even when it's not being worn. Maybe you can wear it?"
Mx. keeps their head turned away, They had nothing to say on the matter.. Nothing they thought would have any sort of tact at least.
"..."
"..."
"I... shall refrain from any reckless decisions I was prepared to make and accept this for now."
"I will go through the usual complaints channel about this later, O-8."
"Weew. Crisis adverted. I didn't want to have to zap anyone."
"Anyway that was a bummer but, thank you for telling us about this. Come on, lets get your friend turned back to normal."
"Zaaaark."
"…It was the least I could do. Thank you."
K-13205 leads the group back to the ray. She motions to the primary platform. "Just stand under there. This shouldn't be toooooo hard."
"What am I supposed to turn your friend into? 0ω0"
Drac trots up onto the platform and sits down.
"I have a picture hold on…"
"An AI.. Specifically this one. This was him. q3"
"..."
NO-12 flashes Draco a smile. It's going to be alright, alright?
Drac smiles back- He sure hopes it'll be! Even if he's a little scared!
"Don't worry! I'm an expert at this!"
"I only fail 1 out of 20 times! 0ω0"
K-13205 rolls a 20 sided die. An 18 is rolled.

Draco is turned back into his old robotself!

"!!!!"
"Draco!! It's- It's-"
"Woah!! Mx!! Please don't cry- I'm back I'm back–"
"Ah, good. I was worried it had been miscalibrated this morning."
Alice writes down some notes on the settings of the machine like any other research day.
"Consider me a bit desensitized from being in the Notail Union for 15,000 years buuuuuuut-"
"-the way those goggles look around are so morbidly cute! 0ω0"
"It is... yes. Curious. We are eager to look more into the nature of this."
Drac floats over to pat Mx.Paint on the back as he hesitates to spit out another word

"Um- Also I hate to uh- Ask for more but this senator here? Is also a person who needs to turn back-"
*...It is, yes.*
"Also sure, put the senator on the stand. Do you know what it's supposed to look like? 0ω0"
"H-hey, Draco..? If you can still understand me, that is..? ;)"
"Y-yeah? I can still understand you- What it is it?"
"...It's just..."
"...Nothing, nevermind. ;)"
"Ah alright– Do.. Do you remember how you looked like before? Or do I just tell them what you where before?"
...He didn't, truth be told. It's been way too long.
"Just, uh, tell them I'm a notail. Slightly chubby. ;)"
"Aighty!"
"3, 2, 1, go!!!!! 0ω0"
K-13205 rolls a 20 sided die. A 10 is rolled.

"Well he seems happy I guess. Come on Alice, lets get lunch. 0ω0"
"I believe I have some good data to go over from this! There is much to go over!"
"…Thank you two so much, Have a nice lunch. q3"
"Are you alright with hugs?"

"It's alright- Take all the time you need!"
"I'm just.. So glad to be back…"

O-12 tries to rip the mask off without thinking. He doesn't even remember they have latches.

"...are you certain this is the right form for you?"

O-12 looks to Drac for a second, and then turns away out of shame.
He can only think of one way to answer this question and he's starting to scratch his neck a bit too hard to think properly.
"Right right– You could be anything with uh this machine here!"
"Ri-right?"

...Pigs don't sweat.
"3, 2, 1! Lets go!!!! 0ω0"
K-13205 rolls a 20 sided die. A 15 is rolled.

NO-12 is turned back into a senator!

...O-12's NO-12's mask drops to the floor, him having finally found the latch on it and thrown it away. When he tries to pick it up he realizes it's all gone wrong again.
"Laaaaame. 0ω0"
"Can we get someone with interesting non stable anomalous formations? 0ω0"
"Well, there are plenty more test subjects around, at least."
...NO-12 looks at Drac, snorting at them, oinking a bit, even.
...But Drac can no longer understand his words.
"Oh geez-"
"You're- Uh- You're a pig again… I uh- Are you?-"
"Are you alright? If you're saying something I can't understand you…"
"Is something wrong? 0ω0"
"Oh- uh… Its.. I dunno if he wanted to be like this again-"
It's, it's not fine. It really isn't.
It's not.
How does he express this, however? What options are left? Just trusting in Drac? Would that work?
"I do not personally eat, but I believe that food place you like closes soon."
"O-Oh we gotta get Longfur her fried shrimp or she'll be mad! Lab's closed, folks! 0ω0"
"Ah aight… I guess we could just come back or something…"
This, wait, you can't, he's...!
LUNCH TIME! MACHINE'S CLOSED.
No one is typing.
