Wait, Is That Naked Robocop?
Summer 2021, Week 3
Friday evening
The Other Dimension, Downtown
Storyteller
A partly full moon would hang overhead as another busy night at the ODC would soon begin to pick up steam. The alleys would be moderately packed with customers preparing to enter the world of pleasure and temptation, as one more amongst them would begin making her way past the bouncer- her face the only I.D. needed to begin her shift. Instead of her regular route, Rathalyn was prevented from entering however, as the crowd was proving slightly difficult to move past at the moment. The lights emanating from within accompanied spontaneous bursts of music- a symphony of joy travelling through the doors unto the gathered mass outside. Rathalyn however was not a mere customer, as she was one of the key stars of the strip club- a symbol that despite her succubus nature- was irritatingly struggling to enter.Vale
It was cold… Unbelievably cold, the low hanging moon, the cold breeze. The hard stones under her… It was getting unbearable… At least for her lower half… Her torn clothing barely covered her… Her panties… Non-existent. Some guy stole those nearly a month ago. Her pants…torn in several places. Up her legs, across her thighs. Her right leg was hanging off by a few threads, the lower pants leg was more or less a false stocking at this point. Her shoes. Ha, she hadn’t seen those in months. Her right toes wiggle in the open air, small holes at the base of her socks. Her left sock was acutely quite intact, minus a large hole on the top. She of course had her backpack; a small red bag that she never let leave her side, thrown over her shoulders…hugging it close to her chest. A hoodie covering her upper form, though she didn't wear anything underneath. Her shirt. She had to leave her first shirt back In PA. Some seedy motel she was almost raped in. She wasn’t going back for that one. Her second shirt got torn while running from the police in Virginia. One of her “rides” had reported a strange robot to the authorities. They had chased her most the way to New Victoria. Then here she was. Hugging her backpack close to her chest in an alleyway, black tears staining her otherwise perfectly shaped and featured face. There wasn’t a blemish on her soft pale skin. She had found this place a few hours ago, following something she thought was a “working” girl towards one of the safer parts of town for her kind. Of course, she was wrong, the girl slipping into the building behind her. She had collapsed. She just didn’t have the energy to keep going. Her body would be found come morning, even if she wasn’t mental, but right now…she couldn’t keep going. Of course, her body had other plans… It would seek help even if she didn’t want to. Her body reached out, trying to grab the attention of anyone near her. Wanting them to look at her… Hoping they would feel pity.[Pather, x1 Normal, 3 EP (12/15)]

It would be quite the commotion, but in Vale's pursuit of safety, she caught the attention of most of the people standing outside. This of course included Rathalyn, but she would be just another head in the crowd. They would all begin moving toward her slowly, the innate desire to look at her taking over in full swing. No other would beat Rathalyn to the punch however, as she used her wings to leap over the crowd and land in front of the what appeared to be a young... robotic woman. She hovered over the now unconscious body, picking it up in her arms as a crowd gathered around her. Able to think straight other than the need to look at Vale, the succubus would decide to bring the woman inside the club- Athalia might be able to do something for the poor girl found outside their building. At the very least, she needed to be kept away from the usual crowd here until she woke. Moving inside, Rathalyn would make it into the building, her shift supposed to have been started around 10 minutes ago. The music and lights would likely stir Vale from her exhaustive sleep, or at the very least she would notice the loud and eccentric atmosphere she was currently being carried through by the devilish woman. Having requested a meeting with Athalia, the woman made her way to the private office to notify the owner about what had occurred outside just moments ago. Awaiting Athalia's entrance, she laid the robotic woman on a sofa and covered her in a towel- for the sake of what dignity she might have left.Vale
Vale would wake, but not nearly quick enough. Her body was seeking help. One way or another. She may not look for it, but she was greatly malnourished. The pale lights that scattered across her body were barely blinking. Seeming to keep track with her slow breaths. The rise and fall of her chest was slow and shallow. Air barely entered her tiny form.[Pather x1 Normal, 3 EP (9/15)]
Nearly ten minutes later, little Vale woke. Tugging the towel up to her chin, she entered a state of panic. Tossing her head back and forth. The bright lights… Not the most unusual thing she woke up to. That goes to a body pillow she found laying next to her one, very odd “ride” later… But it was deftly different. That was until she saw the large demon standing over her or rather nearby. Was dead… Did she finally pass on? Taking a slow glance down, her eyes flickered a soft blue, hope filling her, only to go back to adult brown as she noticed her soft pale skin. Nope… Still silicone. No way God was so cruel to leave her like this even in death. “H… Hello… Who…Who are you…where am I? What's going on…. Sorry…what do I owe you…” Her voice was unusually soft, sounding almost like it came from a faraway speaker. Yet it was crystal clear. Gentle yet unmistakable. Sounding so artificial, it could only come from a real, living person.Storyteller
Rathalyn would remain seated next to the android, essentially looking over her until the boss would be able to decide how to go about this. The atmosphere had quieted down significantly, as the office was meant to not be able to hear the full brunt of each room's music. Regardless, the otherworldly woman next to Vale would once more be forced to look at the woman, but for now she was able to resign to merely sitting next to her. The succubus had already deduced some sort of power was in play when it came to the android, but that would be another matter to discuss with Athalia when the time came. A few more minutes would go by, until-Athalia Cooper
The doors would open and in would walk Athalia and another woman- a trusted dancer- but Vale would probably be able to tell by her clothing that she was just ripped from the dance floor shift. Athalia however was wearing regular clothing: jeans and black jacket over a dark green shirt that complimented her hair. Athalia would move to Vale, likely missing her influence by a few minutes as she kneeled in front of the girl- inspecting her. It was clear to the woman that this... android? was abandoned if she was coming here for help. Even if the android did know what this place's specific policy was on broken and abandoned things, she was incredibly lucky to manage to turn up here- most others don't even go noticed in the city... As Athalia finished looking over Vale, she would lean against the desk- turning her gaze to Rathalyn and the other woman now present in the room. "So Rath, you said you wanted to speak, I take it it's about this... girl, right?" Rathalyn would cross her legs and look up to the green-haired woman- "Yeah, I found her outside on the floor- I think she collapsed right before making it inside. I... also think she has some sort of attention power, but I'm not sure." The succubus tended to know when she was being influenced by an Evo's power, but this one took a minute to register due to its nature. Athalia would still for a second, thinking on how best to handle this situation... "Lily, take her with me to an apartment, we'll give her the rundown and see what she can do after she gets some much needed rest and maintenance." Athalia would kick off the desk slightly, looking to Rathalyn now- "And Rath, take your time clocking in, don't worry about your shift for today- I understand." She would pat the succubus on the shoulder once before turning to help Vale into the other woman's arms. They then both walked through a door off to the side behind the desk, a hallway on the other side. Walking through it- the pair of women with Vale in tow walked down the hall until they stopped at what appeared to be a regular door on their right, an apartment of medium size revealed within. Once more walking through the door, Lily set Vale down on the bed- Athalia making sure to dress her properly in a spare clean, white T-shirt and light, black sweatpants now that no prying eyes could take advantage of her. Athalia insisted on staying with the girl until she woke, urging Lily to head back and continue her shift. The woman merely asked to be updated when she awoke, both dancers clearly concerned with the wellbeing of the android. As Vale would lay on the bed, Athalia would whisper in her ear- "You can rest now, your safe." After uttering the words and locking the apartment door, she'd return and recline in a nearby chair, watching over the girl as she pulled out her phone and waited for her to wake.Vale
Waking up is an odd thing. Most people just wake up quietly in their bed. A yawn, a stretch and maybe a wiggle as they try to jolt their body back to the land of the living. Some people are a bit harder. Drifting in and out of the sleeping world, the waking one. But one thing Vale is sure she is the only one to experience is regularly waking up in clothes she doesn't remember, and in beds she can't seem to place how she got in. Her body finally startled itself awake. Sitting upright in a jolt. Her hands instinctively moved to grab the odd warmth she felt on her skin. A blanket, her mind was telling her as she looked around. She had no trouble seeing in the dark. Her eyes swapping from a deep blue to a light shade of purple, swapping over to a low light mode. In an instant, everything was as clear as if the sun was shining into the room. Where was she? What was she doing here? The room…didn't smell of sex, it didn't look like she was raped or had paid for a night in a warm bed. Rather, it felt a bit home…warm. What was their play? She was facing away from the lady who had helped her, so she didn’t see her at first. Not for a few moments before turning to look behind her. The lights on her arms were blinking rather rapidly, their dim lights barely noticeable as they flashed with the beat of her racing heart.Athalia Cooper
"Oh! You're awake, I was hoping you'd come around this year." The green-haired woman said with a smirk as she set down her phone on the nightstand, the lamp beside her the only source of light in the dim room. Of course, this was only for Athalia apparently, but she didn't bother to turn on any other light- it wasn't necessary. She got up slowly and moved to sit on the bed by Vale's feet- "So, I don't know much about you other than you showed up at my doorstep, and we took you in off the street... Before you worry though, you're in a safe place right now- just a small apartment I own in a part of downtown." Athalia delivered the exposition semi-slowly for her to understand, unsure if the android was still impaired or something. Turning to cross her legs on the bed, Athalia was fully facing the girl now and continued. "So... What can you tell me about yourself? It's not entirely common for people to show up in such a scene like you did, so... what's your story?"Vale
A bleeding heart… These were the worst. They always tried to get Vale to feel something for them before they used her. They wanted to play some hero act. Like they saved the maiden, so now they could avenge her, and she would enjoy and accept it. She hated it. It was so much better when they were just cruel, at least then she could turn off her thoughts and just accept it. “I… I don’t have a story… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to end up on your doorstep… I can leave… I don’t have anything I can offer you.” Her voice was barely a soft whisper, dear permeating her tone. She didn’t know where she was or how she got here. She didn’t have a way out. “Well, nothing you didn’t already see at least…Bu… But you’ve seen all you need to know about me… I’m an Evo… A metal monster…” She knew she wasn’t in her own clothing and figured someone had changed her. Nice fresh clean clothing just has a different feel than her rags. ”They call me Vale, I guess…”Athalia Cooper
Athalia was partially confused at Vale's reaction, but decided to reassure her, it seemed her past was something she didn't want to talk about- and Athalia could respect that. "You don't need to do anything. It's kinda my shtick at this point to take in someone if I find them in a situation like yours. I understand shit's rough for people like us, I'm an Evo too, but I take it you were not so fortunate with how your gifts turned out..." She lightly patted Vale's foot through the covers, resting her hand there as she looked away for a second. Turning back, Athalia took off her glasses and held them in her palm for a second. "Please don't think I want anything from you Vale, I simply want to get you back on your feet- since it seemed like you were struggling to do that when you got here. My name is Athalia, but you can just call me Thalia if that suits your style." She put her glasses back on before standing back up- her green shirt glowing slightly as she walked back toward the lamp. "For what it's worth, I don't think you're a monster or freak or anything like that, I have plenty of friends here who all used to think the way you do- hell you saw the woman who brought you in had wings, horns, and a tail right?" Athalia's tone was still soothing and reassuring, but her words were meant to stir Vale from her rut. She turned back to Vale with a smile, curious at how she'd react to her rant.Vale
“Th…Thalia? … I…everyone wants something.” She said in the quietest of whispers, unable to stop herself. Not wanting something from her was something she hadn't heard before. “Yeah… My…gift…” The venom in her words could be felt from across the country. "…is far less than fortunate. If you can’t tell, I'm not even close to human anymore. I'd rather have a tail and horns. At least people would see me as kinda human.” She was clearly jaded. Her tone when speaking of her robotic form was more than hatred. More than spite. It was pure venom, toxic and full of malice. She would take anything over current form. “At least… “ She stopped herself. This Thalia didn’t need her hatred. She didn’t need the venom. Taking a deep breath, she gave a half-hearted smile, hoping she was wrong in every way and Thalia did just want to help or at least was gentle when she took her prize. Normally the women were. “Thank you. I’m sorry…your kind words are just some I don't hear…far too often. If I may…just a day, and I'll be gone. I don’t need much to function. This…body runs off basically nothing. Well, nothing I can stomach at least.” She was lying, she did need to eat, she just hadn’t yet figured out what her body was able to digest. It needed protein, sugar, and fats in a purer form than food. Something like a glucose pill, pure and concentrated.Athalia Cooper
The woman was plain curious now about how Vale had lived to show up here, the clear traumatic past behind her artificial eyes evident. "Don't worry about taking up space or time, you stay here as long as you need. I think I can venture to guess what people usually want from you for these things, but know we already have enough of that here- no need to throw you in the mix when you clearly are hurt... or- damaged? Not sure how that'd work." She said the last part quieter and faster than the rest, trying to come off easy after the response she got last time. "If you want, I have connections and can help look into how to get you any help you might need with your body. The rest I leave up to you here, get some sleep if you need it and just let me know if you need anything. There's a T.V. in the other room and my office is through the far door at the end of the hall." Athalia had walked back to the chair, leaving the lamp on and grabbing her jacket in the process. She was in the connecting doorway to the living room when she peeked back in at Vale- "Also, there is an entrance/exit separately in this building if you so choose to go do stuff, but know you're completely free to stay here until we get you on your feet." She would leave a small time for Vale to respond if she wanted to- leaning against the frame. If she didn't have anything to say, she'd simply continue walking out.Vale
"T… Thank you…honestly…. Is… Is there any chance you have food?” Vale said with the softest of whispers. Not making a move till Thalia left her alone. Quickly, she jumped up and to her feet, looking around for any signs of lies. Cameras, one way glass, and found nothing. Thalia hadn't lied to her. Her lips formed a weak smile, and she moved to sit in the chair Thalia had been in before. Ignoring what was once her clothing. She would sit curled up in the fetal position for no more than a minute before falling back asleep. Thalia, if she returned, would find her just like that. Finally feeling as if she could get some safe sleep for the first time.Athalia Cooper
Having left to grab Vale- and herself- some food, Athalia was gone for about 20 minutes before she returned. Now entering the room with a bag of Chick-Fil-A, she set it down on the small table that was in the living room and quietly locked the door. She peeked into the bedroom in search of Vale, only to find the android sleeping in the chair from before. Taking that as a decent sign, Athalia crept over to the girl and nudged her slowly- intending to carefully stir the android from her sleep. If that didn't work, she would turn on the lamp and poke her until she awoke.Vale
Vale awoke with a bit of a start. Her metal arm striking out as she quickly assumed a bit of a defensive stance… One leg pulled up against her, the other stretched out a small bit as if preparing to run, while her arms covered her chest. “I, … IwasjustsittingIpromi….” Her speaking kinda trailed off as her nose picked up the smell of what she assumed to be some kind of chicken. Her eyes glued onto the bag, turning over to a soft shade of pink, then red, then back to pink. The grumble of her stomach and her eyes betrayed her. Food was all she could really think of. “Is… Is that chicken? … FOR ME?! … THANK YOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.” She jumped up, and all but tackled Thalia, wrapping her arms tightly… Far too tightly around the other lady.Athalia Cooper
"ACK! Ease up would ya?!" Athalia exclaimed, visibly startled by Vale's sudden affection over a matter such as food. The green-haired woman was all too familiar with the sensual power of food, but she had no clue just how starved the android was. She gave a slight smile as Vale assuredly let go at least a little bit, but the woman had to take a short breather at the impressive strength of the girl now rushing for food. Athalia had gotten them both chicken nuggets, as she would be lying if she tried to say she wasn't hungry. "Come on, save some for me before you eat em all- I got some for me too!" Vale could (maybe) hear, the woman desperate to save herself some food. Setting her coat back on the seat, Athalia made to sit at the table by Vale, digging into the food before them. She wasn't sure how the android would react to consuming chicken, but it was worth a shot to begin experimenting with how she worked. It was also apparent that she was still on edge, but Athalia hoped that could be overcome in time.Vale
Vale did hear her… Sorta. After she was eleven nuggets in… After having let the lady go, she sprinted off with a small crack of the wooden floor under her metal foot. Snatching the bag up, she had torn open the bit of packaging going right towards the nuggets. Having devoured six and half nuggets before she had even heard the other lady ask for some, she gave a sheepish grin holding out the half-eaten nugget in her hand. Her eyes go to a soft sky blue, before swapping to dark grey. “I… I didn't eat them all… I'm sorry… I haven't had a real meal in quite some time…and they were …real…god they are good.” She said, eating the nugget she had offered.Athalia Cooper
Not entirely sure what she just witnessed, Athalia instead opted to just sit down, throwing her hands in the air jokingly at the android's behavior. "You're fine, you're fine." She consoled, pulling out her phone and checking it while the girl devoured all of the food she got. It was evident Vale was telling the truth if her appetite was anything to go by, but Athalia was still concerned with how she should go about helping the girl's condition... Athalia crossed her legs before looking back up- "Hey, would you say that your... condition, is from your Evo nature, or is it something else unrelated? I know I ask this out of the blue but I might be able to help you with it, and it depends on the nature of your condition..." Athalia had suddenly delivered a serious tone after such a joyous moment, but the thought had been nagging at her mind the entire trip back, and she needed to let it vent.Vale
Vale turned away with a small frown. Not wanting to look Thalia in the face as she did. She was suddenly very disinterested in her food. Though the waffle fries were all that was left, arguably the best part. “No, no this is my evo. This metal form is my … Gift.” She spat the words; her eyes cast down to her lap. Fingers digging into the soft cloth of her sweatpants. There would be a soft yellow glow coming from her face, illuminating her lower half. “I've been slowly turning robotic more and more for the last…6 or so years… Soon… There won't be any human left.”Athalia Cooper
Athalia had taken a moment to think over Vale's answer, the specifics and biology behind it a tad too complicated for her in particular. Despite this, she had connections, and was trying to see if anyone she knew could possibly do anything for the poor android. After pondering for a moment, she looked back up at Vale with her phone resting on the armchair- "I think I might know someone who can help you, but we can do that once you're rested and fed, so tomorrow or day after tomorrow we're gonna go on a field trip!" She exclaimed, trying to make Vale more excited about it. Knowing how quickly the android's emotions could swing, Athalia would try to get her mind off the spread of the condition and instead on a possible solution- a more positive outlook if you will. She had also stood up while exclaiming that, her finger pointing to the ceiling slightly. "So, I'm gonna head out here now since it's late, but you get some rest and just let me know if you are in desperate need of more food- I have no clue how that whole thing works for you." She said as she began moving toward the doorway to the bedroom, leaning on the frame. Noticing Vale's pondering and affirmation on the matter, Athalia decided to leave the android to her rest. She would need it after all if they were to indeed visit the contact Athalia had in mind soon. She grabbed her jacket once more and turned off all the lights, locking the door behind her before retiring to her own suite to sleep the night away- the club could handle itself in her absence tonight.
