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

INT. THE CUBE – NOONISH

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihZaf8UP1y

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t3UfB29eJ

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.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fpOYlJaaw

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1h4Kt3qKu

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RXyWUNBRV

VIOLET (cheerfully)

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoNes190HU

K (blankly, slicing his food with claws)

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzyhUgWdM9

VIOLET

“Oh?”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT99vHO63HZ

K (still calm)

“I ate it first.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF63R7YO6h

Josh pauses mid-bite.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02HiBI6pkk

JOSH (quietly)

“…Awesome.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl9IpvOvaj

Jason nearly chokes on his drink.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GgCaMH9DQ

JASON (coughing)

“K. Stop trying to assassinate the mood.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBAyVFb8Lu

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.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIil9MoyvSY

A (softly)

“She doesn’t eat food yet, right?”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CxC0pwuMY

JASON

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjQrwfR9VX

A quickly retracts the spoon.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCWjp35Pim

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNDi5Klfwc

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.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77yG85IOVv

JASON (mouth full)

“Surprisingly? Rude.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yFOXwwq98

VIOLET (smirking)

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjQ45Tjdod

JASON (defensive)

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKfXVUjWX1

K (deadpan)

“You sure? Because you whine like one.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9vMBMKJlZ

A hides a snort behind his hand.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyGUsJYRnH

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiMhrAWSZs

K reaches over and gives the pod a gentle tap.

It lights up with a happy ripple of soft pink.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG1vznaIPr

K (softly)

“…Weird kid.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQoxRybm1o

Josh watches this silently.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17MJ3LUrbd

Then, after a long breath:

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYOuNkAzRj

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.”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBxgf9Qn46

JASON (grinning)

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF50yc9BOU

A whacks him with a spoon.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Sy3qXaYn

Everyone laughs.

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFiVuywIxP

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

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJibWBlwJrn

Or at least—their version of normal.
