Lab Assistant AU - Hello Puppets!
This originally started as just for fun self indulgent stuff but I kept hyperfixating on this and Riley in general so I have decided to make an AU for it! It is loosely inspired by @handeemuse 's muse AU, but I don't have any real story and I encourage those to get silly with it if anyone would like to participate!
Note that you are welcome to make your own assistant-sona if you would like, my Sona isn't the 'original' or 'only assistant-sona' and you are welcome to create your own storyline for this in however way you see fit. I wanted to share this for the Riley enjoyers!! (For I am personally both a Nick and Riley enjoyer)
In this AU Riley has an assistant that occasionally shows up on the Mortimers handeemen show. The assistant has their own labcoat, goggles, and gloves; they are welcome to customize it how they please as long as it still adheres to lab safety. They may even have a custom name tag!
Riley and assistant are close in this AU, how so depends on your view point of it! She often infodumps to assistant and asks their opinions and input on an idea or experiment she is planning. (Assistant has free pass of the lab as long as things don't get bungled up etc) Rosco also really loves assistant and follows them like he's their shadow (which is honestly one big reason why Riley trusts them, if Rosco likes them she sees that as a very very good sign). Mortimer is most likely still hella cranky towards humans. Daisy is very sweet and motherly. Nick still has his rivalry with Riley, you are welcome to incorporate your muse-sona if you have one because personally I am going to do so on the side for mine because I just think that idea is super funny. Just muse and assistant accidentally being caught in-between these two glaring at each other like they're at a dog park and their dogs are about to beat each other to death./lh
Here are my personal references of my assistant-sona!
Click for better quality!
They aren't what they call a "Science wizard/Goddess" like they call Riley, they only have knowledge on the following: Astrology, Forensics, geology and weather. Which they partake in more on those subject's within the show.
They are usually very sleepy off set. So they are often found wearing somewhat cozy attire unless they are needed.
Shark backpack!!
They change their earrings to fit the topic of the science segment in the show.
I like to think them and Riley are like this video

I like to imagine that my muse-sona and assistant-sona know each other and are generally friendly but Riley and Nick are next to them glaring at each other and/or being smug. So I drew this as a nod to that.

Do not repost my art!! REBLOGS are appreciated!!!
Edit:Tumblr posted this while I was sleeping when it was not meant too!! So I genuinely apologize especially to the lovely person tagged, because this probably comes off as really annoying lmao. Gonna also fix the last image later when I'm more awake because I messed up severely on Dottie.
