They didn't have Christmas on Copper 9. They had a winter holiday, but it was just about making sure you bought stuff for other people, as JCJensen had reduced the message of goodwill and togetherness down to its bottom-line necessities. But things were a little different here in Spirale, in this city people seemed to be... enjoying each other's company? Weird. But even if it was weird, Uzi kind of wanted to see what it would feel like to participate. But she wouldn't, like, enjoy it or anything!
There are throngs of people running around and shouting Mermaid Cove Mall, which is pretty in-line with Uzi's understanding of Christmas shopping. They're shouting about catching snowflakes or whatever. She's not in such a rush, but it is making it a little harder to get around, especially when she's so far below most peoples' line of sight. So it's no surprise when someone slams into her from the side, sending her to the ground.
"What th- Frickin' watch where you're going, you dumbass!" she shouts, shaking her fist at the retreating person. "Frickin' humans. If those roombas weren't all such damn cowards and followed me out of that store before they asked me to leave..."
It's only her pride that's hurt, as there's no way a simple fall can damage her chassis. But humans continue to dash this way and that with no regard for her just trying to get to her feet, and even as Uzi rises up, she gets knocked back down again. Maybe killing all humans actually isn't a terrible idea?
Finally, the space around her seems to clear a bit, and she looks up again to see a familiar, brown-haired person. At least she's already frowning so her face can't fall any further. "Oh, it's you," she says to Eiden. "You come to knock me down too? Try it, I know where you live!"
