Robotic Essences - SCENE 90 – "A Totally Normal Lunch"

INT. THE CUBE – NOONISH

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3onlrO1Yc

The gang—Jason, A, K, Josh, Violet, and baby Emily in her pod—are gathered around the cube’s modest table.

Someone found a tablecloth. It’s wrinkled and uneven.

There are some actual chairs. And one overturned crate that Jason is now using because K stole his chair.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24H3iGD5o9

Plates are set. Food is… not fancy. Reheated packets and some "grilled" synth-meat Jason swore was edible.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozRyiYgNaI

Everyone is trying very hard to pretend this is not the weirdest lunch group ever assembled.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mijOadjGa

VIOLET (cheerfully)

“So, A. K. Ever think of getting a pet? Maybe a little drone you can train to do flips?”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw15fVWmib

K (blankly, slicing his food with claws)

“I had a pet once. It tried to eat me in my sleep.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV1juBP01a

VIOLET

“Oh?”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SArmPmLPG

K (still calm)

“I ate it first.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhomeULGlg

Josh pauses mid-bite.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx1Y1jSm8h

JOSH (quietly)

“…Awesome.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlcDFNZTbm

Jason nearly chokes on his drink.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkfNXcpufn

JASON (coughing)

“K. Stop trying to assassinate the mood.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVFfGtQzQs

A gently adjusts Emily’s pod next to him, carefully placing a tiny spoon of nutrient gel beside it like she’s gonna eat it.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMNyZFIoWH

A (softly)

“She doesn’t eat food yet, right?”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDET0s393jl

JASON

“Not unless you want your insides rewritten by infant code corruption.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN11o1n9AN

A quickly retracts the spoon.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEcnFbr6Me

Josh still looks shell-shocked, trying to act normal.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYfLzwZHur

JOSH

“You know what’s wild? I came here thinking it’d be like, ‘Oh look, our old pal Jason being weird again,’ and now I’m dining with killer robots who are surprisingly better at childcare than Jason is.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRjedI66bW

JASON (mouth full)

“Surprisingly? Rude.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rXR43AQkc

VIOLET (smirking)

“He's got a point, Jay. You hid from a crying baby like she was a tax audit.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2eVzmm9OP

JASON (defensive)

“She screamed at me! I’m a security unit, not a therapist!”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmdmY7lCPI

K (deadpan)

“You sure? Because you whine like one.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOdqeomQNu

A hides a snort behind his hand.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bOitxMDDA

Emily chirps again—one of those sweet, garbled beeps that makes everyone pause.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBecPghojZj

K reaches over and gives the pod a gentle tap.

It lights up with a happy ripple of soft pink.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sd7Yv9qxZ

K (softly)

“…Weird kid.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtkh7L1HZa

Josh watches this silently.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnshazxAZN

Then, after a long breath:

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0g2Vo33pn

JOSH

“Okay. Okay. Maybe this isn’t the worst idea.

But if my daughter starts talking about plasma bombs or high-efficiency kill protocols, I’m deleting your entire entertainment collection, Jason.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yhNXu9alv

JASON (grinning)

“Deal. She’ll be a warlord by Friday.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxxduKynmm

A whacks him with a spoon.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5F8wErUwP

Everyone laughs.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiop3Q47J01

Somehow, despite the chaos, it really does start to feel like a normal lunch.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd2Y8jekQW

Or at least—their version of normal.
