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

INT. THE CUBE – NOONISH

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ5bH10YsB

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.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEiV8lPlz5

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ytfLn9cf

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSllagKmFP

VIOLET (cheerfully)

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0xudOIo2G

K (blankly, slicing his food with claws)

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsmWWmQ6ay

VIOLET

“Oh?”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo35UPnora8

K (still calm)

“I ate it first.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSjoS5l6RV

Josh pauses mid-bite.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03EiTnyNwP

JOSH (quietly)

“…Awesome.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepU00x6CUZ

Jason nearly chokes on his drink.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWjOogZqcv

JASON (coughing)

“K. Stop trying to assassinate the mood.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JMUoC9PiH

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.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oMTrkCCla

A (softly)

“She doesn’t eat food yet, right?”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNGIH9jM5t

JASON

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHolpCpaHi4

A quickly retracts the spoon.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrWmUbtTpl

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nzIxDWUzy

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.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0KzZ4I9FE

JASON (mouth full)

“Surprisingly? Rude.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmGwzYPL61

VIOLET (smirking)

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIrD0cFULq

JASON (defensive)

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmM1IsBCxJ

K (deadpan)

“You sure? Because you whine like one.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gEg7BDROc

A hides a snort behind his hand.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmr1DcVP6j

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHPc1DCPi3

K reaches over and gives the pod a gentle tap.

It lights up with a happy ripple of soft pink.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXQM4aWpPk

K (softly)

“…Weird kid.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQqZeG1iF

Josh watches this silently.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuiTsOcxpV

Then, after a long breath:

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatJikv23M0

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.”

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3xcLToEH3

JASON (grinning)

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dLX7meexU

A whacks him with a spoon.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VUn8YYe5s

Everyone laughs.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTkDFjK4Nh

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAkqXWZdNZ

Or at least—their version of normal.
