1: Julia slowly turns. A slug-like predator has prowled close, long bright tendrils extended around. It has no visible eyes, this specimen is larger than the one Julia saw before, its back end featuring a large raised crest.
2: Julia backs up in fear. An arm extends from the bottom of Lily’s form, where a multi-tooled pod extends a small knife with a metallic swipe.
Julia: Uh… Lily…?
Lily: [untranslated robotic alien speech – frantic tone]
3: Lily darts forward, arm extended. The soft predator recoils. Julia has let go of the wire ‘leash’ attached to one of Lily’s retracted arms.
4: The creature is slinking back behind an outcropping of ruined wall. Julia rushes to escape, Lily close behind her.
I can’t tell if Lily killed it, or just scared it off. Either way, apparently she’s a robot not be messed.
She’s from the ghetto
Wait, what happened here?
Ghetto-bot Lily just did something with what appears to be a knife. I see no evidence of blood or bodily fluids, but it looks like the other creature has been marked in a previous exchange. May have encountered Lily before, and remembered not to mess with her.
Don’t mess with Lily and her shaking spoon!
