@hunger-drones: Prologue (Cynthia)

"I can not say I find the logic behind this."

Spectre sighed as she looked at the drone in front of her, at first a near identical copy to Cyn, but differentiated completely by clothes, posture, and overall behavior.

"It's Cassidy. She's not always logical."

"To mindlessly place a device on one's core and then instruct others to do the same is far more illogical. But, I can tell this choice has been made for me."

Cynthia took the circular device from Spectre and placed it on her yellow worker core. Then she looked back at Spectre with a blank expression.

"Just, whatever happens, make sure she's okay."

"I had already planned for that from the start. I shall do my best to ensure her safety and success in whatever awaits us."

Spectre smiled, almost crying. "Thank you."

With that, Spectre vanished, leaving Cynthia alone. As she sat on the couch, awaiting whatever may come, a small droid cat resembling V from the days at the manor slowly approached. It gave her a small meow.

"Hello, Mimi."

Cynthia picked up the droid and placed her on her lap, choosing to pet her friend until her time came.

PHASE 2: ACTIVE

"Hello again, my willing participants!~ The arena is ready and we've hit our player count, so now we can start moving things along! Just a reminder, here's some ground rules I want to hammer out real quick in the text below:"

1 - Stay compliant. There's no telling what might happen if you fail to heed an important instruction! (Spoiler: You'll die) 2 - No outside contacts. Other than willing beneficiaries and/or those you've told about entering, nobody else will be aware of the reason for your disappearance. 3 - You break my game, I break you. 'Nuff said~

"Aaaanyways, your individual contracts and required equipment shall be sent over shortly for you all to sign on for in the near future, mainly for legal reasons and just because I can. Once you sign and place said equipment onto yourself, you cannot back out until the season is over, no matter how bad it gets! Just make sure you're really certain about joining this little test of survival, yeah?~"

"Seeeee youuuu sooooonn~"

Abduction

@hunger-drones

Pinson had left quietly, making his way across the cold desert to be collected for the Games. He had kissed Espoir goodbye, leaving her sleeping.

He sat on some ruins, thinking of how he'd become outcast in his unit, and her...

Espoir was an unlikely addition to the Conclave. She worked the springs with him. They bonded over the strife of Neo Arcadia, and the Fledgeling Espoir saved. Pinson had failed, but Espoir?

The other Drones saw her as worthy. She would be happier with them, without him holding her back.

// Alright y'all, slots for the Hunger Drones simulation are now open! The minimum amount needed to actually kick things off is nine total submissions, considering I could throw in fifteen from the actual show, but the more the merrier! Don't worry about power levels or anything like that, it's just a silly lil thing I decided to want to do :D

// My only request is that you provide a picture of your OC and whatever pronouns they may identify as if you do genuinely want to throw em in! :3

Your AU's idea of SolverCyn keeping Tessa's consciousness alive inside it actually seems really in-character for the canon SolverCyn. I remember someone pointing out that between Cyn and Tessa's matching hairstyles, the way that SolverCyn has been wearing Tessa's human corpse as a skinsuit and impersonating her identity in the spacesuit ever since the Well-Timed Giggle, and the way Cyn and Tessa both share a special fondness for N among the drones, it really seems like either the Solver - or the part of the Solver that's still Cyn - has a real underlying fixation on emulating Tessa.

Yeah, I see Cyns disturbing fixation of Tessa being a once innocent admiration that got twisted by the corruption. When you like someone enough you tend to parrot them and pick up their tendencies. this is really apparent in impressionable kids, and Cyn is our resident possessed robo child. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

I think it’s a funny twist of irony that the entities that hate humans so much, are so deeply obsessed with one. In the end they just want to own every piece of Tessa.

Sometimes I just think about how absolutely TERRIFIED V is of Cyn vs just the solver in general. Her behavior in specifically episode 8 when Cyn is around is SOOO interesting.

V uses her knife hands unnecessarily through the whole show - she uses them just as much as, if not more than, her normal hands. It's probably a mix of show and a genuine defensive habit she's picked up by the time the show actually starts.

Even during episode 8, when she's being emotionally vulnerable to what she believes is N, the knives are out. She's probably tense, both from the fight AND from the emotional weight of spilling these secrets she's kept for ages.

And yet, when faced with Cyn, who she KNOWS is a threat... she retreats the knives, placatingly, and IMMEDIATELY begins pleading. This is V, who has never hesitated to resort to violence before. And it's not the solver itself she's scared of, its CYN. There's a brief moment in episode 3 where, when Uzi's solver activates, V startles and pulls her gun on her. In episode 4, when Uzi is possessed by the solver, V is clearly rattled, but she still has no problem taking action against and fighting Uzi. In these instances, she WAS afraid, but not enough to not be able to take action. But here? Her confidence completely falters. Her first instinct is to make herself as small as possible and try to reiterate that she can still do whatever Cyn wants of her (and she most definetly gets this behavior from having to serve the Elliotts on Earth, and from being disposed of even before that.. do a good enough job, or you can easily be thrown out. Something something, she's never been free, and at least being gleeful about murder means she's ok with it, so therefore she's not being forced!!! Any way to get autonomy back. But that's a side tangent in itself).

When Cyn nearly eats N's heart, V is in no way being prevented from trying to reach him. Sure, J is there, but V is clearly not afraid of J, having just fought her. But faced with the drone she worked so hard to keep safe being at risk, who she'd clearly done so much for... She freezes. Because this is CYN. And Cyn RELISHES mocking her fear, like she KNOWS V won't make a move to stop her.

And even down to what she would have surely thought was when she and N would definetly die, when she is STILL technically free to get up and fly away, she freezes. It's all she can manage is to vainly try to defend herself and keep N's core sheltered. She's too terrified to even move but she's still trying to keep him safe to the end.. (side note, if you pay attention to them once Uzi shows up, you can see she's still covering him with her sword while he's out of commission, which is very cute. Presumably she stays with him while he regenerates, which is why they show up late to the fight)

V is just soo interesting. She tries sooo so much to be cool under pressure and unbothered, but Cyn's presence is enough to stop her completely. Very fun and very revealing dichotomy to her character, and seeing how she effects V makes Cyn much more personally threatening than her just being an entity employing some vague cosmic power manages to do

@hunger-drones: Prologue

Cassidy looks in the mirror of her room. She'd taken off her usual shirt and dress, and put on her old outfit. Or well, something inspired by it. A faded yellow crop top and a brown jacket. Her hand shifts to a rifle and she takes herself in. Pulling down her top, the small device on her core is revealed.

It feels like we've gone back in time.

"Not fully. But bandages would only harm our chances in what's to come."

You read the form. The chances are already against us.

"Yeah... But that just gives more reason to having every extra advantage, no matter how small."

Our normal life...

"Live a normal life until 18." She scoffs. "It was always a nice dream. And I wish I could. But..."

"The Solver is a threat back home. We both know that. Spectre's made it clear something's happened, even if she hasn't directly said it." Cassidy looks at her rifle before it changes back to a hand. "I couldn't beat Harlow in a fight. Or Shuriken. If I can't do that, then..."

She starts tearing up. "I don't want to lose my home again. I don't want to be left alone."

And that is why you plan to fight. But you listed Harlow as a beneficiary.

"And I hope she forgives me for it." She sighs, grabbing the tablet she had used to sign away her freedom, for now. "To make sure I can protect others. To make sure I can survive, that I can help them when they need me." The tablet is slotted in a bag thrown around her shoulder, Cassidy hoping Spectre gave the other devices and instructions to Harlow and Cynthia like she asked. "That is why I'll fight."

Cassidy walks out of Alex's house and looks back at the place she called a temporary home. I'll be back soon, I swear.

Into the forest beyond she walks, arriving at a small clearing.

I won't let anything happen again. I know you probably don't want me doing this, but it's the only option. I'm sorry, Mom.

She waits.

S1 Contestant Entry #24: Cassidy

"Alright, lucky number twenty-four! Back at home, Cassidy was a run of the mill Worker drone before a huge tragedy forced her to replace many parts with a Disassembly model's bits, though this caused her dormant Solver coding to activate in the form of The Rebooted. Differing Solver strains aren't a shock to me, per se, though they are rare... Although she's finished her hunt for the original and rebuilt her life while rehabilitating other infected drones, I do wonder if Cassidy still has that killer instinct from all those years ago, or has all the saving made her too soft to kill again?~" - Fractal, Hostess/Commentator of Hunger Drones

Espoir woke with a start, finding herself lying in a bed. Padded restraints held her, and she pulled. Her eyes widened in fear.

Was she back in that horrible place? "No... No! No I don't want to be salvaged!" she cried out.
