Where Stars Align

Oddly enough, even her systems seem to think they're her parents.

Another quiet series of clicks leave her. Don't mind the 12 foot tall TV. Her tail gives a curious little wag.

( they didn't know who this was initially, until in just a few seconds, it all came to them. )

( a child of theirs - but also not - from another timeline. All too familiar, yet so distant to them. This was their girl, their child, but also not. )

( they acted on instinct, not caring about the sorrow and grief they'll be haunted with once this greeting ends. )

📽️: " hiya there, sweetie, something the matter? " ( they asked in a gentle tone, offering their hands for her to rest her head in, maybe get a little closer if she'd want to. )

Ripley perked up at the sound of their voice. They sounded.... safe. Familiar.

When they offered her their hands, she knew exactly what they were asking for. It was such a familiar sight. Dad, Papa, and Wren did to to her all the time. If this person were anyone else, she would have hissed at them for even thinking to request such a thing, but this....

This felt different.

Ripley had always thought in concepts, when she was younger and still developing. WPNZ was the concepts of Safety and Warmth, while Puzzles was Joy and Excitement. This person was registered as both.

Ripley settled her head into their hands, after having hunched over to reach them. Her tail continued to give lazy little wags.

A silly idea I came up with, featuring Ripley and Wren Armory. Poor Mono. I wonder if any other heroes have the problem of bad guys thinking they’re adorable?

Even when she's all grown up, she'll always be his little princess.

Doodles of the Armory sisters!

Bath time for Ripley ended in far too many claw marks and broken vent covers until she realized that she loves water. Puzzles and WPNZ learned very early on that they had to plan out when they would attempt Operation: Bath Time to avoid Ripley scampering into the ventilation system and hiding for hours on end.

She's shoving her big, fat head closer with a smiley face emoji displayed on her screen. Color her intrigued!

Color her intrigued as well! What a beautiful, mechincal creature. She looks at Ripley very fondly. Jigsaw would find herself admiring the newcomer's outfit as well, so well dressed! Not to mention the impressive arms! Noting Ripley's sharp edges, it only encourages her to get even closer!

Jigsaw chuckles- then lets out a chirp of her own! It sounded like an insect's.

Oh!! A chirp was received in response! Ripley's tail wagged, excitedly, behind her, while her antennae gave a delighted little wiggle.

"How magnificent," she played back, using Jigsaw's words from only seconds prior. Clearly, the praise had done wonders. She's already shoving her screen a bit closer; her shoulders hunched to put her nearer to Jigsaw's level.

"The radio hostess with the mostess- Mrs. Jigsaw!"

Ripley's little quirks and chirps were so adorable! She'd usually go on and on about herself, but the creature was too captivating. She'd rather the focus be on Ripley instead!

Actually.... there were a lot of visual similarities to her Papa here... Huh.

Once the question was turned on her, she leaned back just a tad. Mimicking Jigsaw, she gestured towards herself with her overly long claws.
