a/n: thank you for the request! please, please, do NOT read if this could trigger you. this is a long fic, but the assault part is pretty short and no clothes come off. hope you all enjoy!

(gif not mine)

Y/N is in her room and painting her nails. JJ isn't home and Luke is passed out on the couch. Y/N knows that JJ doesn't like her home with Luke when he's not there and before he left for work, he told her to leave and go to the chateau or something. But she didn't listen, insisting to herself that she'd be fine as long as Luke stayed asleep and she didn't leave her room.

That plan is ruined when her bedroom door swings open, slamming into the wall, making her jump. She curls up at the sight of her father drunkenly stumbling in. She watches him thumb through some cash before tossing a few bills onto her bed.

"Wh-- what's that for?" Y/N asks.

"I need you to go and get me a refill." Luke says.

"Refill?" Y/N asks.

"My fucking drugs, you idiot." Luke says.

"What? N-no. No, I'm not gonna get you your drugs." Y/N argues.

She whimpers when Luke tightly grips onto her hair, pulling at her scalp, forcing her to look up at him.

"You're gonna do whatever the fuck I tell you to, you little bitch. I'm in no condition to drive -- or take that long of a walk. You really want your dad risking his life?" Luke asks.

"You want your fourteen year old daughter risking hers?" Y/N shoots back. Luke's grip on her hair tightens and his glare gets harder.

"Just fucking go get my supply before I teach you a lesson. Understood?" Luke quietly asks, his voice sending shivers up Y/N's spine. She only glares at him in response. Luke lets go of her hair and backhands her across the face, her head snapping to the side.

Luke tightly grips her jaw, forcing her to look at him.

"I said, understood?" Luke asks.

"Yes." Y/N sneers. Luke harshly lets go of her jaw.

"Be back by two hours." Luke orders, stumbling out of the room.

Y/N sniffles, taking a deep breath to keep herself from crying. She rolls her eyes and slips her shoes on before grabbing the money and leaving.

- - -

Y/N walks up to the trailer that she's only a little familiar to her. She's never been inside, but Luke did often stop by after picking her up from school when she was little and she'd sit in the truck for hours until he came out, high as a kite. After almost getting into a car crash one day, Y/N stopped getting in the car with her dad whenever possible and JJ just walked her home from school.

Y/N knocks on the door, anxiously shuffling on her feet.

"It's open!" A voice calls from inside. Y/N hesitates for a moment before answering the door. She steps into the dirty, smelly trailer, hiding her grimace of disgust. Old food is everywhere, empty bottles of all sorts of alcohol lying about.

She looks over at the small table in the "living room" where two men, probably around her dad's age, are sitting and working on drugs.

"What can I do for you, pretty lady?" One of the men ask, smirking as he glances her up and down.

"I-- I'm looking for-- for Barry." Y/N says. She crosses her arms over her chest, trying to shield herself from his gaze.

"Barry's out running a few errands. We're in charge until then." The guy says.

"So... what can we do for you?" The second guy asks. "I'm Robby. That's David."

"Right. Uh, I-- I need some drugs." Y/N says.

"All right. How much? What kind?" David asks, standing up.

"I-- whatever Luke Maybank usually gets. Or what-- what he asked for." Y/N says.

"Ah, Luke Maybank. Frequent customer." Robby chuckles. "Couple pounds of coke." He holds a bag of white powder up.

"$200." David orders.

"I... I only have $100. That-- that's all he gave me." Y/n says.

"Ooh. Bummer." David tsks. "Get the other 100 and then come back, I guess. Bet going home without the goodies will be fun for you. You'll be more black and blue than ever." David laughs, Robby laughing along.

"Look, can I-- can I just pay half now and the rest later or something?" Y/N asks.

"No, sweetheart. Not how this shit works." David says. "Though, I... I do have a few ideas on how you can make up for the other half. A different sort of payment."

"What?" Y/N asks.

She watches David's smirk grow and he glances at Robby who also smiles. It takes a moment for Y/N to catch on, but when she does, she's running for the door.

"Ah, ah, ah!" David easily wraps one of his arms around her waist, yanking her away from the door.

"No!" She struggles against his hold as he lifts her up. Robby grabs her legs to prevent her from kicking. "No!"

"Oh, don't fight it, pretty girl. It can go over quickly. Long as you're not a bitch the whole time." David laughs.

"No! No! Let go of me!" Y/N screams, trying to fight against them. "Let go of me!"

"If you say so, princess." David tosses her onto the bed. Y/N tries to get off the bed, but David grabs her ankle, yanking her back. She struggles against him and he straddles her, pinning her arms down.

"Get something to tie her with." David orders and Robby starts to rummage around, looking for stuff. "Now... if you're a good girl, I'll give you the coke. But if you're bad, I'm just gonna keep you here longer, sweetheart."

"Please, let me go." Y/N sobs. "I-- I'm fourteen. I'm fourteen."

"That's okay. I like the younger ones. Less experience makes it more fun for me." David grins. Y/N lets out another sob, struggling against him, but he's too strong for her.

"Got some rope. And here's a rag." Robby stuffs the rag into Y/N mouth, muffling her cries and protests.

"Perfect." David grins. He gets up just enough to flip Y/N onto her stomach. He grabs a fistful of her hair and yanks her head back. "I like doggy style. So you're gonna be nice and do as I say."

Robby grabs her arm, though she struggles against him, hitting him away.

"Hey, hey, hey." David smacks her on the head. "The more you resist, the longer we'll be here. The longer I'll take. So you wanna be a little brat or be nice?"

Y/N pants, not fighting when Robby grabs her arm again, tying it to the bedpost.

"Good girl." David smirks. Robby rounds the bed, tying her other wrist to the bed. "Now, for the fun." David scoots down, forcing Y/N to get on her knees, her head lying sideways on the mattress. David gropes her ass making her quietly sob more. His hands roam her body, squeezing her boobs.

"Now... for the real fun." David grins.

David and Robby turn when they hear the door open and Barry steps in. He stops, seeing the positions.

"My apologies, fellas." Barry chuckles. "Who we got here?"

"A real cutie." David grins. He grips Y/N's hair, forcing her head back. Barry stares at her for a few moments before recognizing her.

"Hey, ain't the Maybank's little one?" Barry asks.

"Oh, yeah. On the drug run for her daddy. He must've known we needed a stress reliever." David chuckles.

"No, no, no, let her go." Barry orders.

"What? Barry, come on, man." Robby protests.

"No. Nah, man, she's a minor. We don't need the cops on our ass for raping anybody, much less a minor. I draw the line at fucking pedophilia, bro." Barry says.

"Barry--"

"No. No, I'm not gonna have the cops on my ass cause of you two idiots." Barry says. "Let her go."

David rolls his eyes, but climbs off the bed. Robby reluctantly unties Y/N, yanking the rag out of her mouth. Y/N coughs and gasps, trying to catch her breath.

"I-I need-- I don't have 200." She tells Barry.

"What your old man asked for only costs 100." Barry says.

Y/N looks at him in confusion before looking back at the older two who are both grinning and quietly laughing. Y/N sniffles, trying to not cry anymore. She shakily holds out the money to Barry who takes it and gives her the drugs.

Y/N makes an instant run for the door, racing out of the trailer.

- - -

Y/N gets home, rushing in, not wanting her dad to see her tears. She passes JJ who is in the kitchen.

"Y/N?" He asks, frowning when he sees her tear streaked face as she charges past him. "Hey." He calls, following her.

Y/N tosses the drugs to Luke who is sitting on the couch with a beer.

"Hey! Don't throw shit!" Luke scolds.

"There's your fucking coke!" She croaks out, her voice cracking. She storms to her room.

"You made her get your drugs?" JJ asks, looking at his dad.

"Don't yell or swear at me, you little brat!" Luke sneers, standing up.

Y/N turns, placing her hand on her door, and glaring at her father.

"Fuck you!" She screams, slamming her door shut.

"Y/N." JJ's eyes widen in fear.

"That's it, you bitch!" Luke shouts, charging towards her door.

"Hey, hey, no. No, no, no! Dad! Dad, stop!" JJ gets in the middle, blocking his father from his little sister's room.

"I'm gonna teach that brat a lesson!" Luke shouts, making sure Y/N hears her. "Remind her why she's such a worthless piece of shit! Why her mother abandoned her!"

"Dad, stop!" JJ shouts, only to earn a fist to his eye. JJ stumbles to the side, wincing in pain. Luke storms for his daughter's room, slamming the door open.

"You little--" Luke charges at Y/N who backs up into the corner of her room, realizing how stupid her decision was. Before he can reach her, JJ jumps him from behind, dragging him away from the girl.

"Run, Y/N!" JJ shouts, the girl standing there in fear. "Run!" He screams making Y/N snap out of her state of shock and she dodges Luke's hand as she runs out of the room.

JJ slams Luke's head against the wall, kicking him to the floor, knowing he'll pay for it next time he sees him. JJ runs out of the room, shutting the door behind him, and then he runs outside where Y/N is.

"Come on." JJ grabs her hand, dragging her over to his motorcycle. He gets on and she quickly follows.

"I'm gonna kill both of you!" Luke shouts, walking out of the house. He manages to get over and grips onto Y/N's arm making her shriek.

JJ uses the helmet and hits Luke over the head with it making him stumble back. He puts the helmet on Y/N's head and then starts the motorcycle, revving the engine. Before Luke can grab at them again, JJ speeds off.

JJ drives until he's at the chateau. The Twinkie isn't there, letting the siblings know that John B isn't home. Y/N immediately gets off the bike, taking the helmet off, and tossing it onto the ground.

"Y/N!" JJ calls, doing his best to put the stand down quickly as she marches towards the chateau. "Y/N!" He calls, running after her.

"Leave me alone." She hiccups.

"Hey, come on. Tell me what happened." JJ says, following her inside.

"I don't want to." She sniffles.

"Come on, munchkin. Tell me. I can help."

"No, you can't! Just leave me alone!" Y/N shouts, slamming the door to the bedroom shut. JJ flinches at the slam of the door and he hears Y/N start to sob from inside the room.

"Y/N?" He softly calls, gently knocking on the door. "Come on. Please, let me come in."

"Leave me alone." She cries out.

JJ quietly sighs, his hand hovering over the doorknob. He grips the doorknob, but just as he goes to turn it, he pulls his hand away. He knows Y/N needs time alone sometimes after something bad happens. And while he hates it, he knows pushing her to accept his comfort or talk about it will only push her away.

"I'll just... I'll be on the porch." JJ tells her, keeping his voice soft. "Okay?" He calls, hoping to get a response. He doesn't get one.

JJ sighs, running his hands through his hair, as he makes his way to the screened porch, immediately lighting a joint.

- - -

JJ is still sitting on the porch and on his third joint. His leg bounces up and down anxiously as his thoughts don't stray from his sister. He's finally broken out of his thoughts when he hears the screen door creak open and looks up to see his sister walk out.

Her eyes are red and puffy, tear stains on her cheeks, and her nose is red. A broken look rests in her eyes, one JJ is more familiar with seeing than he'd like to be.

"Hey." He softly greets. He offers his best comforting smile and puts the joint out. Y/N walks over and sits next to him on the couch, keeping a little distance between them.

They sit in silence for a little while, JJ not sure how to start talking about anything.

"Can you... can you tell me what happened?" JJ gently questions. Y/N tenses up making JJ's heart clench. "Please, munchkin. I-- if you can't go into detail, that's okay, but... but a brief summary, maybe? Tell me who I have to beat up."

"I... I didn't listen earlier. When you told me to leave." Y/N quietly says. "I stayed home. I-I figured if he was asleep and I didn't make myself known, then I... then I'd be fine." She says, keeping her gaze on a loose thread of the couch she's messing with.

"But he... he came in and-and he made me go and get his drugs for him." Y/N sniffles, tears springing to her eyes as her mind goes back to her time in the trailer.

"And I... I know he usually gets the stuff from Barry, but Barry wasn't there when I got there. Just... just two guys around dad's age and they were working on the drugs or... or whatever you call making drugs."

"They... they said that what dad buys was $200, but I... I only had $100. So... so I tried to pay half and then promise to come back later with the other half. However I would get that. I don't know. But supposedly, possibly I guess, you can't do that."

"So, they... they thought of another way for me to make up for the missing 100." Y/N says, wiping her eyes as tears start to fall again. She sniffles, glancing up at JJ, practically seeing the wheels turn in his head.

After a moment, his eyes widen, and his heart drops as he feels sick to his stomach.

"No." He whispers, shaking his head, anger swimming in his teary eyes.

"They... they dragged me to the bed. And... and said the more I struggled, the longer I'd be there. And I... I didn't want to be there for very long." Y/N hiccups. "So, I... I let them tie me down and-and stuff a rag in my mouth. I... I just let them do it. They were bigger and stronger and I... I couldn't handle them, I couldn't do it. I just wanted it to be over."

"Before he could... before he did anything more than, uh... more than grope, the-the door opened and it was Barry. He made them let me go. He-- he knows I'm still a kid and he didn't want the cops on his ass for raping a minor. Assaulting a minor is already bad enough. So is doing that to a grown woman, but I guess a kid makes it more complicated or something. He doesn't need his business going down the drain and ending up in jail or-or whatever."

JJ's jaw clenches and his hands curl into fists, trying to fight every bone in his body to punch something right now.

"And the drugs even only costed $100. They just... they just wanted an excuse to do that." Y/N says quietly.

"What were their names?" JJ asks.

"Wh-why?" Y/N asks.

"Just give me their names." JJ orders.

"I... uh... they, um... Ro-Robby and... and D-David. David did-- did everything but-but tie me." Y/N says.

"I'm gonna fucking kill them." JJ practically growls, shooting to his feet and heading for the door.

"No. No, no. No, JJ, please!" Y/N calls out. "Please don't go. Don't leave me." She sobs. The pain in her voice is enough to make JJ stop. It both breaks his heart more and fuels his anger.

He huffs, knowing she's more important, and he contains his anger. Looking back at her broken state, all the anger leaves his system, replaced with heartbreak and sympathy.

"I'm not goin' anywhere." He assures, walking back over. He sits next to her, holding an arm out. "C'mere, kiddo." He pulls her closer, wrapping his arms around her in a protective hold. Y/N sobs into his shoulder, gripping onto his shirt as tightly as she can, her body racking with her cries.

JJ tightens his grip, pushing his own tears back as he does his best to comfort her.

"I got you." He assures, placing a hand on her head. "I got you. I'm right here. I'm here." JJ places a soft kiss to her head, smoothing some of her hair down. "I got you, munchkin." He whispers.

- - -

Y/N managed to cry herself to sleep eventually. JJ left her on the couch, lying her down and covering her up with a blanket. He sits in the arm chair by the couch, watching her sleep, the anger radiating through his body.

He looks back when he hears a car and watches the Twinkie pull up. He spots John B driving and Pope is in the passenger seat. JJ gets up, storming off the porch, marching towards the Twinkie.

"Gimme the keys." JJ orders his best friend.

"What? Why?" John B asks.

"Just give me the fucking keys, man." JJ demands, holding his hand out.

"JJ, what's up?" Pope asks, concern in his voice.

"Some shitheads assaulted Y/N -- sexually. I'm gonna go fucking kill them." JJ declares.

"Wait, what?" John B asks.

"Is she okay?" Pope asks.

"Of course she's not fucking okay, Pope!" JJ yells. "Would you be okay?"

"Hey, we care about her too. I just-- it was a question." Pope says.

"Okay, well, look, you're not going alone." John B argues.

"The hell I'm not." JJ glares at him.

"No. No, man, you go alone, you're probably not coming back. Especially if this was some kook--"

"It was two cokeheads. Two pieces of shit that have nothing better to do than torture a little girl. So, personally, I don't really give a shit what the consequences are." JJ says.

"Yeah, well, I bet you she does." John B says, nodding to the chateau where he knows Y/N probably is. "You're the most stable person in her life, J."

"Well, that's a scary thought." The blonde scoffs.

"She can't lose you. So I'm going with you. To help you and to make sure you don't get yourself killed. Either that or you're fucking walking." John B says.

"Fine." JJ relents. "But you." He points at Pope. "You're staying back with her. I don't want her alone."

"Okay." Pope nods.

"Plus, your fighting skills suck, mathlete." JJ says making Pope roll his eyes. JJ holds his hand out for the keys.

"Fuck no. You're too pissed to drive." John B says, getting in the driver's seat.

"Whatever." JJ grumbles, getting in the passenger seat. "Just go as fast as you can."

"No doubt." John B says, starting the car and speeding off.

- - -

John B pulls up to the trailer park and stops outside the trailer JJ tells him to. JJ is out of the car before John B is even able to put it in park. JJ storms up to the trailer and slams the door open.

"Whoa! Hey, man!" Barry exclaims.

"You two David and Robby?" JJ asks, nodding to the two older men around his dad's age.

"Who's askin'?" Robby asks.

"Which one's David?" JJ asks.

"Sorry, bro. I don't swing that way." David laughs. JJ gives him a sarcastic smile before punching him.

"Whoa!" Barry exclaims.

"Holy, shit!" Robby shouts. John B rushes into the trailer, watching JJ grab David's shirt and slam him against the wall.

"Dude, hey. Hey, kid! Relax!" David says.

"Yeah, kid. I'm a fucking kid! You know who else is a fucking kid?! My baby sister!" JJ shouts.

"Oh, shit." Barry mutters.

Robby tries to pull JJ off of David, but John B grabs him and punches him. He knees Robby in the stomach, shoving him to the ground.

"Look, we can talk about this--" David tries.

"Talk about this?!" JJ shouts, slamming David against the wall. "Talk about you trying to rape a fourteen year old girl? Talk about that, huh? Yeah, do you know how fucking sick that is? Assault is bad enough, but you gotta go after a kid who is barely out of middle school?"

"Well, hey, it's not my fault they're tighter at that age." David smirks.

JJ immediately punches David, the force sending David to double over, groaning in pain. JJ repeatedly hits and kicks at the older man, not stopping for anything.

"JJ." John B calls after a while when he notices David half-unconscious. "JJ. JJ!" He calls, but the blonde doesn't listen to him.

"Hey, hey, hey!" John B rushes over, trying to pull his friend away.

"Get off me!" JJ shouts.

"She wouldn't want you in jail, dude!" John B shouts. "Y/N needs you!"

His words finally manage to get through to JJ making the blonde stop. He breathes heavily, trying to catch his breath. JJ balls David's shirt in his hands, yanking him up, glaring at the older man's bloody appearance.

"One of you lowlifes ever talk to my sister, ever touch her -- ever even fucking think of or mention her again -- it will be the last fucking thing you ever do, I swear to God." JJ sneers. "Stay away from kids, you sick fuck."

JJ spits in his face before getting up and storming out.

John B delivers a few kicks to David's abdomen making him weakly groan in pain. John B looks over at Barry who is standing across the room, smoking a joint.

"Nobody knows about this shit." John B states and Barry holds his hands up.

- - -

JJ and John B get back to the chateau with some pizza, soda, and beer. They walk inside, Pope and Y/N sitting on the couch. Y/N is curled up, resting against the arm of the couch. She has a blanket covering her and the two are watching Tangled, it comforting Y/N.

They look up as the two boys enter, Pope perking up at the food.

"Sweet." Pope says, standing up, walking over to the counter where JJ puts the boxes down.

"You guys actually went to get food?" Y/N asks.

"Yeah. Where else would we be?" John B asks, putting the beer and pack of soda bottles on the counter.

"I don't... I thought that maybe... forget it." Y/N mumbles, turning her attention back to the TV.

John B looks at JJ who gives him a look to shut up, not wanting to tell her anything. JJ puts two pieces of cheese pizza on a paper plate and grabs a bottle of soda. He walks over to Y/N, putting the bottle on the coffee table and holding the plate out to her.

"Thanks." She mumbles, taking the plate. JJ softly smiles at her, gently ruffling her hair. The three boys each get their own food and some beer.

Pope sits back down in his previous spot and John B sits on the floor, putting his stuff on the coffee table. JJ sits next to his sister.

"Oh, sweet, I love this part." John B says, watching the characters sing in the pub.

Y/N glances at JJ as he picks one of his pieces of pizza up. Her eyes immediately go to his bloodied knuckles.

"JJ." She quietly says, getting his attention. She glances up at his face before refocusing on his hand. JJ follows her gaze, putting the pizza down.

"Oh, those-- those are old." He dismisses, eating the pizza with his other hand.

"Then why are you hiding it?" She asks.

"I'm not." JJ says.

"Jayje." She mumbles.

JJ sighs, but leans closer to her so he doesn't have to talk loud.

"Look, it's fine, Y/N/N. Nothing's gonna happen to me and those shitheads got taught a lesson. No old, weird, disgusting creeps are gonna bother you now. Promise." JJ tells her.

"You shouldn't have done that." Y/N whispers.

"Have you met me?" JJ asks. "If you think I'm letting anybody get away with hurting you, you're fucking high, kiddo." He says making Y/N smile the slightest bit.

"A Rather Polite, Bigger Thing" (Pt. 6)

Masterpost:

“He’s dead.” The OLI announced, gently patting her robot’s dented face. “What charger does he need?”

“No chargers,” The mechanic replied. “450s ran on gas. There might be a canister hiding around somewhere, but that’s not really a priority.”

“I’ll look!” Ollie offered, dashing off. The mechanic rushed to catch him as he sprinted off of the table, and then gently set him on the floor.

“You need somewhere to sit?”

She blinked, surprised at finally being addressed. The mechanic was staring at her, yellow goggles betraying no emotion as she pushed a stool her way. “Sorry. Not used to having customers in here.”

“Oh, no worries! If anything, I should apologize for intruding!” She sat down with her ankles crossed, trying not to guess as to when her stool was last cleaned. The mechanic grabbed her own stool and rolled herself over to the worktable where her robot lay.

“You said you wanted him fixed, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

The mechanic looked over the body with a grunt.

“Scrapping him and buying another would be cheaper, you know. You’d probably even get a newer model with cash to spare.”

She clenched her teeth. “Do you think I didn’t know of that?”

“Just making sure.” Was the reply. “Wouldn’t want you to feel scammed if you don’t know what you’re walking into.”

“Then know that I am very aware!” Against her will, her voice was rising. “I’ve chosen this establishment because you are the only one who says they can help me, instead of advising that I give up! Are you not the only shop in this city that has experience with EDW’s? I have to ask once again, can you fix him or not?”

Silence fell across the workshop. From the corner, Ollie whimpered. The mechanic stared on, unperturbed.

“Do you know if he’s sustained any damage to his personality chip?”

“Huh?” The question was so startling it cooled down her temper. “P-personality chip?”

“Yeah. Pass over that box, will you?”

As she did, she managed to peek inside and noticed a scattered selection of screwdrivers, all different shapes and sizes. The mechanic grabbed out a handful and started testing them, trying to see which one would allow her to successfully open the robot’s head.

The sight made her turn away, oddly squeamish. “Why do you want to know?”

“Because I want to see if it’ll work…”

“If what will work?!”

The mechanic ignored her. “Ollie, forget the can! We can get it later. Where’s my other toolbox?”

“I’ll get it!” Was the reply.

“No wait! You’re too—”

The resulting crash sent them both running. Ollie was fine, thank goodness, save a few scratches on his shell, and before long he was peacefully sitting in the hood of the mechanic’s jacket, what she called “time-out” but was most likely more of a reward than anything else. Once all that was settled, the mechanic grabbed the new box and started to meticulously sort through it.

She was starting to get impatient. “What’s the plan? Why won’t you tell me?!”

“I don’t even know if it’s going to work yet,” the mechanic said. “Wouldn’t want to give you any hope in case it doesnt’.”

“And this all has to do with his… personality chip?”

“Yep. He seemed pretty coherent while he was conscious, so there’s a good chance, but just in case…”

A shiver ran down her spine. “What happens if you find the chip damaged?”

“Don’t jinx it. EDWs are nearly indestructible. It should be fine.”

But the sentence was spoken through gritted teeth.

“Why’s he so broken then?” Ollie asked from inside the hood. The mechanic reached around from behind to pat his head.

“That would be a question to ask his mistress, Ollie.”

The little robot swiveled his head 180 degrees to meet her eyes. She felt her cheeks go hot. “Oh! Um… actually… I don’t know.”

“Why not?” Ollie pressed. “Aren’t you his mistress? Don’t mistresses know everything?

“I haven’t really… been his mistress for very long.” She admitted.

This caught the mechanic’s attention. “Oh?”

“I found him just a few days ago.” She explained. “He was abandoned so… I took him in.”

Ollie gasped, servos going into overdrive as his eyes flickered with glee. “You’re a monster!”

“What?! No, I-I!”

The mechanic cut her off before she could explain. “Found it!” From the depths of the robot’s hollowed-out cranium, she revealed a six-inch cube. “Perfect condition!”

“That’s the personality chip?” She asked. That’s not exactly chip-shaped…

“Yep!”

“And that means…?”

“It means we got a chance!”

Her brows furrowed. “What do you mean, chance?”

The mechanic turned her head to whisper a command to Ollie, before setting him down on the floor once again. This time, Ollie shot under the table, where a long, bunched-up tablecloth hid the entirety of his small frame from view.

“You asked me if I could fix your Edward.” She said, her shoulders slumped. “Technically yes, I can do that. Problem is, EDW-450s are long defunct. This model’s ancient, remember? Any part not locked in a museum is going to cost an arm and a leg. And there’s so many it’s just not worth it.”

“I don’t care!” She shot back, rising from her chair. “I have the money. I can pay any funds you give me!”

The mechanic continued without so much as a blink. “That’s why I asked you why you just didn’t buy a new one. If all you wanted was an EDW-450, it’d be a lot less effort to buy another, if you truly got all that money you say you do.”

“And I already told you, no. It has to be this one.”

“But does it matter that he’s a 450?”

“...Huh?”

“Here’s what I’m getting at.” The mechanic said. “Fun fact about the EDW’s, they’re remarkably backwards compatible. Since they were built to take a ton of beating, they basically had their brains boiled down to a single, ridiculously sturdy chip. It’s why their AI isn’t as advanced as it could be for what was possible in those days.”

“Also why I’m smarter!” Ollie called out from beneath the table.

“And those minds? All the same size, all connect to the same ports. In concept, any EDW is just as interchangeable as the next. And all those newer parts? They’re so easy to come by they practically fill up half my workshop. You understand?”

She was starting to. “You’re going to transfer his consciousness into a new body?”

“If you want to.” The mechanic shrugged. “If you were a collector, then only 450 parts would do. But if the only thing that matters is that he gets fixed, then updating would be the better option in the long run. It’s easier to maintain that way.”

“I see.” She looked over at her robot, her Edward. He probably wouldn’t care about what sort of limbs he got, wouldn’t he? No, she thought with a chuckle. He’d only be mad if it cost too much. Even if she didn’t have a problem with paying up, she’d still prefer to respect his wishes

“So, all you do is transfer the personality chip into another body?”

“Wll…if only it were that simple.”

Now that the robot’s head was reassembled and screwed back on tight, the mechanic was busying herself with fixing whatever else she could. Tightening bolts, replacing frayed or torn wires, patching up leaks. Ollie scurried across the floor from time to time, helping her bring new supplies. Part of her wondered if the mechanic was only multitasking so that she wouldn’t have to make eye contact.

“What’s the matter, then?”

“See, all the newer models, like the 500, the 660, etcetera…. They’re a lot more advanced. They can feel pain, for one thing, the tactile stimuli detectors are far more advanced, it was programmed for a mind that should logically be capable of more advanced emotional states… it's a whole thing.”

“But you said all EDW models were interchangeable!”

“Technically interchangeable.” The mechanic reminded. “Truth is, I don’t know how the AI will react. Best case scenario, it successfully adapts, and your robot will like it when you hug him now. Worst case…?”

She held her breath.

“Worst case is that the mind gets corrupted and completely fries itself from confusion. Not a good way to go.”

I should have known. She tried to keep her voice from quavering. “And what are the odds of that happening?”

The mechanic shrugged. “I can try to minimize the risk obviously. Introduce the limbs slowly, one by one, so that the programming has time to get used to the changes. AI was designed to be adaptive, so I wouldn’t say its completely hopeless, but I also can’t guarantee anything.”

“I see.” She slumped back in her chair, suddenly feeling more empty than ever. “So what do you suggest I do then?”

Ollie popped up from a distant corner, pushing along a container thrice his side filled with dark liquid. “Found oil!” He called.

“Great job!” The mechanic replied, reaching down and beginning the refueling process before turning the attention back to her. “As for you…”

Another shrug. “I mean, it’s your choice. I don’t think there’s a wrong one necessarily.”

But as she was about to respond, the mechanic’s voices dropped lower.

“But if you’re the kind of person I think you are? Ask him. Your robot’s getting this done to him. He might deserve a say, you know?”

With a final, satisfying click, the last two wires connected and the robot was lying on the table, freshly wired and no longer in need of any bandages.

“If you’re interested in continuing, contact us after you’ve thought it through.” The mechanic said, her voice once more crisp and confident. “That fuel should last you a few more days. I’ll hand you over to Jayce now so that he can install that security update, and you’ll be on your way!”

“Wait!” She called, a final attempt. ��If you can add security, can’t you just program him to adapt to the new body?”

The mechanic shook her head. “Sorry. Not how it works. The security fix is an official update. My shop doesn’t deal with unofficial modding, remember? Don’t want to risk damaging the personality for good.”

Her shoulders slumped. “I see…”

The mechanic pulled down her mask, revealing a reassuring fine. “It’ll be fine. Trust me! I had to build Ollie up from scrap more than once, and he’s still kicking, right?”

“Still kicking!” Ollie confirmed.

But even as the door to the workshop closed behind her, she could not shake that odd feeling of powerlessness.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday.

Falling in love costs you, on average, two close friends.

You were born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection.

The average fast food customer eats about 12 pubic hairs a year.

The average person spends 45 to 62 minutes a day just waiting.

Music is one of the few activities in life that utilizes the entire brain.

If provided with a mirror, dolphins will admire their own genitals.

You will never truly understand something until it actually happens to you.

J. K. Rowling was the first person to become a billionaire from writing books.

91% of people are no longer friends with someone they called their "best friend."

It's scientifically proven: being in love makes you a less productive person.

According to one study, being hungry also helps you make better decisions.

Ithyphallophobia is a morbid fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis.

If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be chasing people who don’t love you either!

Buckingham Palace contains its own cash machine which is reserved for the Royal Family.

When someone tickles you, your laughter is actually a sign of panic, anxiety and nervousness.

UPS was started by two teenagers with one bicycle and $100 borrowed from a friend.

The dog that played Toto in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ was paid $125 a week, more than the Munchkin actors were paid.

Falling in love is easy, staying in love is a challenge, letting go is hard, and moving on is the hardest.

Mother’s Day is banned in North Korea because it distracts citizens from their love for Kim Jong-un.

Hugging and or holding hands with the person you love has been proven to reduce stress almost instantly.

The U.S. Patent Office insisted on proof that the Ouija board worked before granting the patent in 1891.

The ‘ice cream’ you see in ice cream ads is actually mashed potatoes because they will not melt during production.

In 2013, Yahoo bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion in cash. Six years later they sold it for $3 million, less than 0.4% of what it was bought for.

If it takes less than five minutes to do, do it immediately. Your life will instantly become much more organized and productive.

A smile doesn't always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their own problems.

Having negative friends is linked to depression, lowered self-esteem, insomnia and anxiety. Positive friends promote good overall health.

In 2011, a man crashed Paris Hilton’s 30th birthday party, stole her $3,200 birthday cake and served it to the homeless.

50,000 fake PhDs are estimated to be purchased every year in the United States, while only 40,000 PhDs are earned legitimately.

The difference between terror and horror is that terror occurs in anticipation of the horrifying experience, while horror occurs after.

Giving up alcohol for just a month can improve liver function, decrease blood pressure and reduce your risk of liver disease and diabetes.

80% of people remain quiet even when they really want to say something in order to avoid an argument with someone they care about.

It was a sportswriter who coined the phrase 'One hit wonder' when describing Ramón Monzant's baseball career. He didn't coin any other phrases.

Researchers have found that trying to suppress romantic thoughts about someone, doesn't work. You just end up thinking about them even more.

A Canadian brewery had to apologise for naming one of its beers Huruhuru, which they thought was the Maori word for feather, but actually means pubic hair.

The loudness of a monkey is relative to the size of its testicles. Researchers found that the smaller the testicles, the louder the monkey. (Applies to most people on social media!)

In the mid-1970s, Sweden sold North Korea 1000 Volvos. North Korea has never paid for them, making this the biggest car theft in human history. The Swedish government continues to send twice-yearly invoices to Pyongyang for £200,000,000.

Eminem, Lady Gaga, Megan Fox, Liam Payne, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato were all bullied when they were kids. Eminem was beaten so badly by a school bully that he spent over a week in a coma at the age of 9.

The U.S. government has an official plan for a zombie apocalypse. CONPLAN 8888 (also known as Counter-Zombie Dominance) is a U.S. Department of Defence Strategic Command CONOP document that describes a plan for defending against any zombies.

Not all World War Two postal acronyms were as innocent as SWALK (Sealed With A Loving Kiss). Other options included NORWICH (kNickers Off Ready When I Come Home), BURMA (Be Undressed/Upstairs Ready My Angel) or CHINA (Come Home I'm Naked Already).

Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

Alolan B&B Shenanigens

Studio of Annie presents: newest Pokemon idiots! Sponsored by my growing pokeplush collection.

Featuring, in order: Tricia, Eden, Squeakers, the B&B itself (which needs a name, pls help me name it)

Team Tricia

Alola born and bred, she grew up in the Hau’oli Outskirts.

Was taught to surf as a small child by her grandfather. He was also the one who helped her catch her first Pokemon: a sleek Lapras who similarly enjoys riding the waves.

Although she likes traditional surfing with a board, she’s only ever entered competitions where the surfing is done with Pokemon. She and Lapras have managed to win two of them, both with substantial cash prizes. The trophies are among her most prized possessions.

She’s also competed in Mantine Surf competitions, but finds enjoys competing with her own Pokemon more enjoyable. The waves are bigger, and the bonding experience is unmatched.

Picked up her Pikachu pair at a Mantine Surf competition on accident. One of the Pikachu actually surfed out into the competition venue and quite literally crashed into her Mantine. She finished the rest of the run with a sparking hanger-on. Once the initial stress wore off it was actually quite enjoyable.

The Pikachu actually started out following her Lapras, wanting to surf on her back. It took several months of persistent squeaking to convince Lapras to try, and then several months more to train her to be comfortable with the two electric mice.

Only one of the Pikachu knows Surf. Both, however, can surf on actual boards. Tricia got a pair custom made for them when she officially adopted them.

The Pikachu are a male and female bonded pair.

Worked a summer job in college as a receptionist at the Alola Tourist Bureau. She ran the Loto-ID desk.

After graduating college, she used her surfing cash prizes and an inheritance from her grandfather to buy a fairly spacious property along Melemele’s North Shore. Originally, she just had the property renovated to include an in-law suite and was intending on renting out the remainder, but after a lot of deliberation and discussion with her family it was decided that they should move to grow a bed & breakfast business.

It was rough going and very frustrating for a few years as she tried to get her feet under her, but now she loves the place.

Picked up her Clauncher after she had her B&B up and running. The shrimp was fished up by local fisherman, ate all their bait, was tossed back because he was too small, and then let himself get caught (again) because the free food was a great draw. Was making a cheerful menace of himself in the crab traps.

Tricia managed to lure him to her with a biscuit. She thought he was pretty mild-mannered if not a bit gluttonous. She was right on both accounts.

His name is Gumbo because he has been threatened with the stew pot on various occasions by various people and continues to remain blissfully unperturbed.

Gumbo is very small. Very rotund.

Is in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend Eden. They’ve been living together for about a year now, which she definitely was not expecting after his disastrous first impressions.

Team Eden

Moved to Alola as a kid with his family. His father is a geologist, and settled the family in Malie City, Ula’Ula Island.

They moved to Alola from Sinnoh, so everything was a shock to the system, least of all the climate change.

His grandparents sent him a Turtwig as a gift when he turned 10 and could start legally owning Pokemon in his own name.

Wants to be a Cool Kid and by all accounts looks like one of those Cool Jocks but he’s a dork and stupidly earnest at heart and in practice.

His interest in trees started when his Turtwig evolved and has since only gotten worse. He currently works as an arborist.

Despite going to the gym and looking like he clearly works out (and he does actually work out) his only real physical skill that he brags about is his ability to climb up a tree very fast.

Half of his closet is devoted to increasingly garish and neon-bright colored shirts.

An ex-girlfriend liked to have their dates in Ula’ula meadow which was where he caught his Roselia.

He knows absolutely nothing about Water Type Pokemon. He also, while on a beach trip with several college friends of his, decided to catch one in order to impress a cute girl (Tricia)

He set his sights on a Qwilfish

Predictably, it did not go well

Became rather attached to his poisonous blob of fish after he recovered from the embarrassment and actually learned more about them. Surprisingly, release never crossed his mind, because he’s of the type to think that one ought to be responsible for a Pokemon after obtaining them and actually try everything at their disposal before resorting to release/rehoming.

Frankly, his serious and earnest demeanor in learning more about his Qwilfish was the first step in actually winning Tricia over. Before that, she thought he was just your typical frat boy tourist.

Might have been overwhelmed with joy when their relationship turned serious enough for them to discuss and then actually move in together.

Squeakers

A BABY

No, literally. He is a baby, and is still bottle-fed, although recently he’s started to branch out and try solid foods.

Tricia and Eden found him on the beach on one of their evening walks. He was alone. Since that stretch of beach was fairly close to their house, they monitored him for a day or so just in case mom came back.

She did not :(

Dropped him off (squeaking all the way) at a local rescue and figured aside from maybe a progress report, that was that. They were called a few days later about possibly fostering him until they could arrange a more permanent placement for the baby.

Is quite attached to them, Eden more so than Tricia.

Very round, Very squeaky.

Accidentally learned Powder Snow mid-sneeze and scared himself.

Apparently came with two egg moves inherited from his parents: Yawn (more cute than effective) and Fissure. Thankfully, he has yet to try demonstrating the latter.

The Inn

A cozy 5-room bed & breakfast on Melemele’s North Shore. This property is Tricia’s pride and joy. The property boasts a recently renovated patio-space and a small swath of private beach. The garden were originally planted by the previous owner but expanded upon in earnest by Eden, as it was one of his pet projects around the house after he moved in.

There are three guest rooms in the main building and two detached private suites that were added later on.

Tricia and Eden live in the original in-law suite that is attached to the main house.

They primarily get their electricity through a set of solar panels installed on the roof. Their back-up generator gets much of it’s electricity through Pikachu-power

The business is primarily run by Tricia herself, although they have a housekeeper and a couple part-timers to help with bookings and other day-to-day activities. Eden also steps in occasionally when he has the time, usually to give Tricia an opportunity to pop into town for shopping or a quick breather.

The official “mascot” of the inn is Tricia’s pair of surfing Pikachu. The unofficial “mascot” is Gumbo.

This is because Gumbo can frequently be found on the counter, parked next to the water dispenser or waving next to the welcome sign. He is somewhat of a receptionist shrimp.

He is also capable of dragging over a “Yes! I can take treats!” sign and conning guests into loving on him. He does not need extra treats. He is already quite rotund.

He has his own special pulley system to help him get onto the counter.

The surfing Pikachu pair like to hand out travel brochures when guests ask about local attractions. They are partial to the beach and surf guides.

They also enjoy stamping their paw-prints on the little welcome cards that Tricia writes for the guest rooms.

Eden’s Roselia likes to handle floral decorations for the guest rooms. She also knows aromatherapy, learned from the housekeeper’s Comfey, so sometimes will help out in final room checks.

Because Eden and Tricia own several small Pokemon—one of which is a traditional prey species—in addition to having a baby Spheal running around, there is a size limit rule in the inn for guests who wish to have one of their Pokemon out and about while on the property. This is outlined clearly on their booking websites and printed as one of their first rules on many of their reminders. While most guests respect this, they’ll occasionally get guests who demand to be an exception.

Tricia used to refund them their visit and point them towards other accommodations, but nowadays she just points to their rules, points to other hotels that allow bigger Pokemon to be free-roaming, and keeps the down-payment. The rules were laid out really clearly and she also reinforces it when calling to confirm the booking. She has no more sympathy to give these people.

Squeakers is not allowed outside. He will try his hardest to get outside. There is a sign taped to both the main and patio doors to expressly remind visitors and staff that the baby is not to go outside. So far he has been successfully thwarted on every attempt.

This means that you can frequently see him smooshing his little round face against the glass of the door or a window though. It seems to be quite popular with the guests.

One of their promotional videos is titled “A Tour of the Amenities” and it’s just a montage of Squeakers getting up to various shenanigans in each of the property areas and Eden in the background, yelling “SQUEAKERS” in progressively exasperated and hysterical tones.

On that vein, they’ve had some guests leave entire reviews just about Gumbo and Squeakers.
