"She's cracking. She hides it well, but she's one bad day away from a full breakdown."

"Goddammit. None of us can afford that right now."

funniest thing about 1999 is that the hex took entrati's cat in the divorce

[tenno-protocol]

oneshot idea i may write one day is the Hex playing a game of "dog or not" with Drifter, who confesses to not knowing what a dog is and is shocked every time they're shown a new breed of dog and told that it is, in fact, a dog. like;

Aoi: okay what about this one. (holds up picture of a sheep) Drifter: (With full and utter confidence:) a dog! Aoi: nope.

later,

Quincy: alright space trauma, let's hear it (holds up picture of a Bedlington Terrier) Drifter: haha you can't fool me, Aoi already showed me this one! Drifter: it's a sheep. Quincy: nope. dog. Drifter: WHAT

Mmm.... Thinking thoughts about the Stalker, Hunhow, and how they helped the Drifter during the New War. Umbra isn't the only excal based sentient warframe, after all, and although the partnership was begrudging, the Drifter does have that sentient piece of bow, which I'd imagine he probably tried to give back at some point.

I don't know if Hunhow still has a link to that thing, but the thoughts are deeeefinitely there.

Most of the weapons that we use in warframe are pretty like, 'realistic' in terms of being able to sorta say, oh, this is battery powered, oh, this one is biological, etc, but I think of everything the Drifter could show the Hex to prove the authenticity of his stories, (Past Eleanor being able to just read minds lmfao) that might actually be it. Also, its just genuinely cool as a prop piece. Also also it fits GS Drifter's rhythmic theming perfectly.

"Nice sniper rifle. Check this out." *punches a hole through brick wall with a bow that growls and manifests arrows out of absolutely nothing*

What if you're able to open time and space with a tenno and what if that sort of technology ended up in I dunno.. Some guy's hands that should not been trusted. Imagine being a key to the future, a living battery per-say. That would kinda suck.

Here's the Operator version :D

[tenno-protocol]

Hi! Just a quick introduction, because I am not used to doing this but I want to make it at least a little clear.

Personally, I subscribe to the alternate/parallel universe line of thinking for the Drifter and Operator. Same person, slightly different lenses. Enough for each of them to be distinct, but my dears aren’t wildly different. More like siblings! Siblings with a good ten year age difference.

I’m also going to be sticking with the generic “Drifter” and “Operator”, but eventually you might see different nicknames leak in. If that happens, I’ll try to slip in a clarification of which name belongs to who. Now, on to the introductions!

Operator:

Doing her best. Did not remember her name whatsoever upon waking up, but bits and pieces have started coming back once she got a decent look at her face again.

Void scarring around the eyes. Made the joke once that it “helps her see through bullshit”. Thought Lotus gave her a disapproving look and has not made the joke since. Privately thinks it sometimes anyway.

Was among the tenno children that met violence with violence when their parents were affected by the Void.

Preferred frame is Gara (prime variant as soon as she dug up that set of blueprints). Feels a strong connection, but may just be admiration from hearing her story and Nihil’s disgruntled reaction to seeing the frame. Absolutely adores Gara Prime.

Woke up as a Volt model. Keeps it around for sentimental reasons. Occasionally tries to do something with it.

Secretly enjoys Ordis’ jokes.

Found Ordis’ recordings by accident, listened through as many of them as she could find. Has never told him. Will never tell him.

Drifter:

Forgot her name during her time in Duviri. Also doing her best.

Latched onto Dagath’s story as soon as she heard it. Adores Dagath. Has named her kaithe after Dagath’s.

Wears dax armor for the most part. Origins for that are… hazy at best. Maybe best left forgotten in her opinion.

Favors ink that looks like tear streaks. Does not elaborate on why.

Wasn’t sure what to make of Teshin initially. Decided he was an excellent elderly uncle. Does not play Komi with him after ‘the incident’. (The incident was her losing 10 times in a row and nearly flipping the board. Does not touch komi with the rabbit. Is convinced it cheats.)

Thinks of the Operator like a little sister, really doesn’t know how to handle it. Hearing the Void wanted her sister? Nothing could’ve stopped her from chasing Entrati to hell (or in this case, 1999) to find a way to stop it. She’s not ready to lose another family member, ever.

Adores Ordis and his dad jokes. Is unsure about Lotus/Margulis despite Operator’s clear adoration of her.
