Brief Idea: The Herta
Not proofread
OK I know this wasn't asked for but hear me out.
After re watching her trailer one particular thing caught my eye. Herta does not want to know all the secrets of the universe. She wishes to keep asking questions and solve new puzzles. The genius won't stop her continuous and voracious curiosity (something even Nous freaked out about).
The biggest mystery of all to her just might be a person who does not think about a thing yet miraculously is still alive. How has someone so thoughtless persevered through the ever shifting stars? Herta simply must know.
It's not enough to be just unintelligent, Herta sees plenty of that (everyone else besides the Genius Society). No, you manage to solve puzzles that stump others with your simplistic ideas. There is merit in simplicity she supposes.
You stumble your way into the simulated universe and get out unharmed. While foolish, the tech bends to your will, answers that escaped her reveal themselves. Yet you don't see the incredible findings, only liking the pretty pixels.
You challenge Herta in a way even her colleagues couldn't, cause her to think more to justify your patterns. Just what are your motives? She believes she has figured you out and you surprise her further. Pushing the woman further into a deep obsession.
Further more Herta is not great with feelings. She can read intentions and convince others to bend to her will. However, you just know the right things to say to those around you. Productivity at the station has increased by 5% after you were hired for... sanitation and waste management. This simply won't do. A mind like yours should be studied by the greatest mind: Herta.
The obsession cannot be categorized as romantic or platonic. No this obsession is much more mysterious and intriguing for the Herta. It doesn't help that in both cases you are treated about the same, perhaps a bit better if it leans more platonic.
Does she wish to dissect you or keep you? Herta wants to find out.
On Herta's Space Station you skip around much to the dismay of your colleagues. The former janitor dumber than a bag of rocks gains the praise and attention of Madame Herta. The dolls interact with you more than usual.
"(Y/N) I require your assistance in testing out my latest theory. While undoubtedly flawless I would like to gather more information." Shining (e/c) stare down at the puppet with adoration thrilling Herta.
"Of course pretty lady, I have more fun with you than cleaning. Oh, I forgot I'm working! Sorry Miss puppet but I can't afford to be fired."
Herta's doll eyes dull...you were still worried about that pathetic job. Herta shakes her head. "I own the station and therefor own your contract. If you don't follow I will consider this an act of insubordination." Lifeless plastic eyes gaze at the taller janitor.
"Okay! I didn't know you were the manager Miss. Puppet, I thought Herta was! You two must be good friends if she entrusted you with the station."
Ah how Herta wishes to tear you apart and build you back in anyway she likes. All while that same dopey smile looking at her and only her.
