Soft Reboot (Murder Drones Soft Reboot. Part 1)

Lighthouse - Waking Thoughts

Red lights greeted Doll as she awoke inside her somewhat comfortable bed, Internal clock telling her that it was early morning as the long haired drone crawled out of bed. Of course, she wasn't really going anywhere important and could totally stay in bed as she had the day before. Turns out living in some form of concealed exile was having a run off effect on her. Doll's onesie covered foot touched down on the floor as the girl absentmindedly moved an arm to wake up her door's motion sensor, which was prone to ignoring her to a certain degree as it did now. The slab of steel staying put and causing Doll to groan slightly to herself before waving her hand in a half-assed action up at the half circle motion sensor. To which the door hissed open and the red eyed Russian recoiled slightly at the sight she had found her optics on. 

The lounge room was a mess, somewhat a mess. It usually wasn't spotless with always a spare piece of clothing or a book left out on the floor, far from its usual home in the small library that lurked behind the dining table. Sometimes a second mattress had been pulled out, for some unknown reason the house had far more mattresses then were needed by the current residents. Normally. Now a grand total of four somewhat well kept mattresses had been scattered around the room like buoyed ships and made any hope of navigating the place significantly more annoying. Each sleeping spot occupied by a worker drone who looked mostly nonchalant in their rest as to have suddenly appeared in her home. Doll shook her head as if to dispel a fake memory but the workers didn't remove themselves from her reality, the girl frowning as she fully registered the bunch. Emily, Uzi, Thad and one other who she assumed to be Thad's sibling with how they shared the same visor colour and the fact Thad was sleeping on the mattress closest to her. Crowning this display of sleeping metal was Yeva, who was in fact not sleeping at all and instead focusing on something in her hands. Dim light emerging from the phone in her hands and visible to all of the drones within the room. Doll's mother having neglected to tell her about the onslaught of guests that now unintentionally constrained the girl to her own room.

Doll retreated the whole two steps back into her room again, padded feet due to her onesie making no noise as she did and the door shut softly. Leaving the girl with an unknown amount of time to basically waste. Something she had spent the last two weeks doing already and Doll couldn't deny the fact that doing near nothing had been getting to her, she found herself thinking of the cold outside or restarting school more and more. 

Then a buzz sounded from her computer free desk, the one that was a part of her loft. Doll having managed to secure a second desk for her tech, which included the desktop computer that was perched apon the further desk. Doll tiredly looking over to see her phone flash once. A few seconds later and she had sat down on her worn office chair and checked the device. 

{ 1 New Message, From - Mom }

Doll unlocked the device, its case feeling firm in her hands as the girl put her feet up on the chair without thinking, a personal habit of hers that Yeva had failed to make the younger girl grow out of. 

{ From Mom - "... Sorry... but they had no where to go except here." }

{ Doll "im staying in my room then?" }

{ From Mom - "i guess that would be best, they are all your friends out here. correct?" }

{ Doll "uhm, yes" }

There was a few seconds of silence, the red eyed girl taking a breath as she waited. 

{ From Mom - "I think they should be capable of keeping a secret." }

Doll rolled her eyes, she knew they probably wouldn't. Emily was horrid with secrets and the rest were better but they... They all had no reason to tell on her really she realised. Doll thinking on it as she replied to Yeva.
