Someone in chat jokingly sends a link to one of those online autism tests (I know those aren't accurate but it's for the bit) and Celine says "no y'know what? Fuck you I'm gonna take the test right here right now and prove to you I'm literally normal."

The girls and Bobby warn her to maybe wait until the stream ends to take it just in case she doesn't like the results, but Celine is already set on taking it. She's going through the questions and giving commentary on all of them, "'do you tend to take things too literally?' Well I would like it if people just said what they meant but I acknowledge that they don't. It took a while but I figured it out eventually."

"'Do you prefer to walk with your weight in the front of your feet?' I mean yeah but like. It's quieter."

The girls and Bobby are CALLING HER OUT too, "okay so maybe I do get upset by changes in my routine but my reactions are always proportional to the situation!"

"Oh really? So when you cried in your office for an hour after that meeting got cancelled last week that was normal behavior on your part?"

"Shut the entire fuck up I was having a bad day!"

She gets progressively more agitated as the test goes on until the results load, "your autism spectrum symptoms are... High... Hmm. Well that's... Huh. Shit."

Rumi is honestly surprised Celine isn't more upset, to which Celine says "well your mother did have ADHD but we found that out the old fashioned way if you know what I mean."

"...old fashioned way?"

"Tried amphetamines and was really disappointed."

"oh my God??"

"yeah none of us had a great time actually. [Thirdlight] was quite literally climbing the walls, I had a seizure and almost died, and she was literally just calm and normal. We looked into whatever the hell that could mean and apparently that was one of her many many symptoms of ADHD."

"...I'm sorry can we circle back to the part where you HAD A SEIZURE AND ALMOST DIED??"

Celine just lore dropping shit left and right and completely knocking out Rumi with it gets me every time.

Like girl....Rumi....you're the most normal one.

And you're half demon.

Let that's sink in.

And Rumi trying to show Celine that she herself is also not completely ordinary, demon hunter aside, and Celine just flat out not believing her...and then speed running the stages of grief once all the girls plus Bobby and Chat give her irrefutable proof and she's just like:

Then looks at Holos of Elizabeth and Tilda, then to Seyka who's minding her own business, man spreading on a bench next to Erand while reading through data, making notes and occasionally helping him when he's stuck on something, barely looking away from her own work.

Aloy: "I don't see it."

Then her eyes travel to Beta who's doing a terrible job at not staring at Alva and Talanah, who are sharing focus tips and combat moves respectively.

Petra coming out of nowhere, gently nudging the girl and saying something that makes her turn as red as her short hair, spluttering in speech which just makes Petra chuckle and wink before walking away.

Aloy:

I feel like VR would make Celine in particular incredibly motion sick. Like she can handle stuff like roller coasters fine, regular video games don't cause her any problems, but something about VR just does horrible things to her. She'd try to cover it up though-- she keeps taking off the headset and walking away for a minute because she "heard the cat doing something" when she's really going to throw up. The chat knows because she looks violently ill, is going crazy, and by the time the girls actually stop and read it Celine has gone away to stealth-vomit like 3 times. They feel SO BAD about being too locked in to notice that Celine was low key dying.

Celine has always had motion sickness issues.

The first time she did a mission where she had to fight on a moving train, she got violently ill and basically projectile vomited after they got off.

Celine and Bobby would be the most devastating and diabolical Imposter duo on the planet.

People would think Bobby can't lie or play devious for shit (which, fair) but most also forget Bobby was also in the Idol Industry(in this hc he was) for a bit so bro knows ball like you wouldn't believe.

More importantly, Bobby and Celine were bro's long before Huntrix were a thing. They're best friends. Dumb and Dumber even.

He's her rock, she's his feral cat he can't really tame but she doesn't scratch or bite him when he gets close to her.

With the help of Gaia, the rules for the different versions of the game are explained and the Gaia Gang actually find it pretty relaxing and fun. Of course the competitiveness comes out very quickly and soon they're playing to best each other.

They very early agreed that you're not allowed to use your focus.

Unsurprisingly Aloy is annoyingly good at it but what's hilarious is how Beta is as well and the two of them are forever going toe to toe.

Most of the time it's Aloy who wins but that's mostly because Beta likes to try new and extravagant tricks that tend to cost her the game, not that it bothers her.

Everyone else kinda makes it their goal to best Aloy to end her streak but alas, all have been unsuccessful.

All except one.

One particularly tough match between Aloy and Seyka, who holds the highest score besides the twins, has them both on the 8 ball, playing double on black. (The black ball or white ball must hit at least one side cushion before the black ball sinks)

Aloy is confident she's winning this as her girlfriend gets increasingly frustrated.

That is until Seyka hits one of these:

And Aloy, who was standing right behind her, loses all brain function and can't hit shit when it's her turn.

Seyka breaks her winning streak with a brilliant shot and a stupid smiley smirk, completely unaware, and thinks her girlfriend's red cheeks are because she kicked her ass.

*After a particularly gruelling fight with a dangerous machine*

Seyka: "Hell yeah! My dick is rock hard!"

Other marines: *laughing and cheering*

Aloy:
