#yippee!!!!!!!!!

you alive??

your characters and story and art are Not leaving my brain so i come bearing questions🤲🤲

soo first of all, Blazer being an addict (and a lot of other stuff in the game, like, food places and bars being used by robots) made me wonder how do the substances have any effect on robots? they're not quite. yknow. organic

i js love to dive into the logic of these things and i also love to see how others interpret it!!

as for a more story-related question: how much of the canon story/characters are also in your AU? do Theo and Dolly impact the events of the game in any way? (also i think they should absolutely meet the kitty. they deserve kitty🫶🫶)

n i must say again i LOVEE your art so much keep up the great work!!

HELLO!!! HAIIII!!!

We know that these things have some kind of effect on the companions in-game— there’s the two that sit on a Midtown street with their screens bearing swirls as the giggle to themselves, and we see several signs for “droid toilets” scattered throughout the game.

The Spark interpretation is still vague, but I’ve always imagined that ingesting RAMen (“ingesting” being like the way B-12 stores objects as data) can serve as a form of energy transfer similar any human eating food— which leads to needing to expel waste, which means. Droid toilets!

As for drugs, I always imagined them as being similar to humanity as well. Blazer, for example, uses heroin- the high making him sort of soft, gooey and relaxed, maybe bypassing or putting dampers on software processes the correlate to anxiety, anger and pain (and they can feel pain in this universe). It’s the same with the pseudo-nicotine evidently in the vape he uses, or the whatever-the-hell those other bots huffed on the street.

There is also still the horrific risk of addiction. Drugs make you feel good, you want more of it immediately. Especially since rebooting that code you had suppressed makes everything TWENTY TIMES MORE SENSITIVE. More or less for the sake of plot, there is no cure for addiction outside of weaning yourself off it and ignoring the urges. Attempting to hard reset to make yourself forget you ever liked the stuff would erase your memory & personality… far too great a price.

For your second question, unfortunately Theo and Dolly never got to meet the cat during the events of the game— both were at home when Blazer set out to have to “betray” the outsiders— but they end up becoming great friends with @greenteanchills ‘s oc Tee, who joins b-12 and the little outsider throughout their journey starting from their meeting in the slums.

Once Blazer meets with her again (profusely apologizing for shooting her . And her friends. And a cat.) he introduces her to Theo and Dolly, the latter being ESPECIALLY interested in the prospect of meeting an itty bitty kitty cat. The former refuses to go near it. Theo’s terrified of cats LMAO

Other canon characters they do know include Raf, Latekila, Ozi, Jonee, the bouncer- pretty much anyone that wanders Midtown.

(sorry if this is late for you)

You're still on time!! Halloween ends in like, ten minutes for me ^^
