Hanna’s father, Jim has wandered into the kitchen to find 4 drones all working on cooking something. The kitchen smells amazing! And the drones look so cute in little tiny aprons as they stand on stools and waddle around.
Jim: “wow! It’s like a little circus in here!”
They all turn and look back at him. A male drone named Harry stood on a stool in front of the stove monitoring a stew pot pipes up
Harry: “well hi there!!! I’m Harry!!!”
Jim: “oh!….uhmm i’m Jim!”
Harry: “nice to meetcha Jim!”
Jim wanders a bit closer
Jim: “what are you making?”
Harry: “beef stew potpie! With a side of white rice and steamed veggies!!”
Jim: “oh wow!! That sounds really good!”
Harry: “very filling for the winter to!”
He chuckles and gives the stew a little stir with a bright smile. Jim looks over to the side to find a female drone gleefully kneeding the dough for the pie casing.
Jim: “…..i’m-…..”
Harry: “you alright?”
Jim: “you guys are-…..so human!….your just like….me!”
Harry: “well hardly! We are made of metal and rubber heheh!”
Jim: “no no!….I never got the chance to interact with and talk to drones like this before….I like this….you all look alive! Happy! Full of life….I thought you guys were going to be empty husks pretending to have emotions and personality….your….really alive!!”
Harry: “oh yes! We are very much alive! We have sentience and consciousness just like you”
Jim: “i’m really glad I got to talk to you!! I honestly like drones more than I thought! You guys are awesome!”
Wait wait I saw the word circus and I have an idea
Circus drones, drones who preform in circus and carnivals
Do you see the vision
I do! Interesting idea! Their little neck frilled costumes!
@raecalaveras would you care to share your circus drones?
Uhh uhhh I have a whole thing written for my performer drone ideas but I’m so scared to share 😭 (evil brain worms make me anxious)
I have it done I just haven’t done the lil doodles 😭
Performer drones aren’t necessarily strictly circus drones however my oc spade is a clown in a drone run circus (drones being primarily performer drones, repurposed worker drones turned performers , and regular worker drones whom are trained to be mechanics and other behind the scene circus jobs.)
But the spade and clover reference sheets are at least posted 🥺🥹
Maybe I’ll post the performer drone app ish if I stop being scared 🥹
Share em! I KNOW they are cool!
In the off chance my lil drabble is too long I will insert a copy of my doc below instead. It is on ellipsus (like google doc but better)! Anyone should be access it even on mobile (but not make changes.) I will add more details if requested such as if anyone wants to learn more about how some custom performer drones may look compared to the toy line. I can also further clarify certain aspects that make a performer drone a performer drone instead of competitor brands/worker drones. https://write.ellipsus.com/edit/e05c9a85-c2f1-49e8-bcc8-cf951de30860 Also just in case if anyone wants a specific example of a performer drone. Here are my ocs spade and clover. They are clowns in a circus but I also decided that in a seperate au they also were little mascots for a copper 9 chain restaurant. (or at least side characters). https://www.tumblr.com/raecalaveras/796782257615585280/finally-remembered-to-share-my-md-ocs-on-here?source=share
