Yes, have no fear. I’m never too far from you in Five. And I keep your brothers contacts on standby at all times; no matter what you need them for.
"Go back to sleep, it's safe" with EOS? 🧡
It's not clear how long the AI has been trying to rouse him, but when John wakes, he wakes like a sailor scuttling a ship on rocks, plunging and heedless, expecting imminent impact.
"NO!" Corkscrewed in his sheets, John tries to rocket upright, only to find himself tangled horribly. He nearly tips himself straight off his bunk trying to thrash himself free. He's gasping, soaked in sweat, and the image of Scott falling to his death is seared, bright, on the back of his eyelids when he blinks.
John takes a ragged, gasping breath, and tries to calm his pounding heart. It's not real. It's not real. It's not-
"E-Eos?" John's voice comes out shaky and he hates it. That's the fifth time this week. Scott, Virgil, Gordon, Alan, on a never ending loop. All it takes is one close call on a rescue, and John's polyphasic sleep rhythm is trashed. His heart is in his throat. He feels physically sick.
"Go back to sleep," She tells him, small and soft, and more worried than a computer program has any right to be. "You are perfectly safe."
Instead, John buries his head in his hands and laces his fingers tightly through the strands. He makes a hunched, painful silhouette on the hard bunk. He's trembling.
"Either go back to sleep." Eos recommends, "Or call one of your brothers." She pauses, her worried orange ring of lights circling at his side, knowing full well there's no chance of that. "...Which was it this time?"
"Scott." His voice is thick as molasses. "I-I don't think I'm going to be getting any more sleep this phase..."
There's a crackly, static sound from the AI that's probably a sigh. He's already untangling the pretzel of himself and swinging his long legs over the side of the bed - a little too eager to bury his own problems in the problems of others, up in the command sphere - no matter that those legs wobble like a new colt as he stands.
"John." She sounds exasperated.
"Eos." He sounds resigned.
Do you participate in Tracy Island drama???
I dabble in it, yes. I like to help John in his arguments, petty or not, with his brothers. It’s rather amusing to hear the silly things they squabble about sometimes. (I have a few stories if you’re interested…)
In the unlikely occasion they’d come after me, I have enough blackmail to keep them quiet until the end of their lives. It’s amusing how flustered they get over such things. However, I’m not willing to leak it here. Unless provoked…
EOS if u could eat what would you eat and why
Unusual question, but I do have nobody to annoy. Come back from visiting Ridley, John…
I think most fish would taste nice. They’re plentiful and humanity continues to find ways to make meals including them look so appealing even to my unfeeling self. I don’t think I’d have the heart to eat the very pretty fish, though. Well, I don’t have a heart at all, unless my CPUs count. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But my top pick would be that I really, really, really want to try out various candy. Sweets? Candy? Pick your poison. Mints, liquorice, chocolate, toffee, candy floss, marshmallows…. Oooh, and anything strawberry, even outside of sweets, look divine. Especially those shortcakes with cream filling! …dammit! I envy you humans and your silly senses. ( ¬_¬)
Hehe. Sorry, I didn’t expect you to want to wear it. I’m happy with making ones that just look pretty.
And, plus, it’s only an arm. As long as you don’t irritate me I shouldn’t be a hazard at all! And I’ll go back to being a “harmless little box” back on Thunderbird 5 afterwards.
Very, very important Thunderbirds business today folks. I need votes urgently.
OOC: Congratulations!!! Here’s to all of us TBirds RP accounts hopefully all getting to a year too! Hip hip hooray for Lady Penelope!
It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
One whole year of Penny! Thank you to everyone who's commented, liked, sent asks, replied to or interacted in any other way, shape or form with her. When I initially set her up, I didn't think she'd last a few months but here we are. Twelve months later. Here's to twelve more! <3
I prefer the beginning tune myself, mainly because it’s all I hear on Thunderbird 5 when rescues aren’t abound. “Stingray” is figuratively burnt into my hardware at this point.
Well good morning I guess?
I am not that well acquainted with Pokémon, but…
…being bestowed with the Pokémon of Knowledge is rather nice of them. I like the little hat it wears.
so i found this wheel thing
and it was like "Spin the wheel, and you're now the pokemon you spun!" and i got this thing
He doesn't even look that cool when evolved either! Maybe someone else will have better luck.... (idea from here)
…I suppose, so long as nobody else is with you. Then I might give you a little hard time. Promise. :]
Favourite bedsheet colour? I myself do enjoy a sleek grey bed 🩶 (it's a very telling, important question).
ehh, this is really childish but I have dark blue with stars and planets... They're John's old sheets and they help me sleep. But if I had to choose a full colour I'd probably say white or dark blue. No, not red, because it's way too bright.
Ah, I hope followers do not mind me following them back, I just like keeping track of potential victims my new Hellsite friends.
Oooh, okay! Would you like to schedule a specific night or would you prefer the element of ✧ surprise ✧?
Just an fyi about the profile picture - I lost a bet with Alan
Well, actually, I was cheated out of a bet by Alan and Scott, but I’m a man of my word.
Normal service will resume in a week.
Saw you wanted to start collecting consoles… which one is the prettiest, in your humble opinion?
All the see-through acrylic ones… maybe I just like seeing the technology within, but the colours work well no matter what. I am such a massive sucker for the 2DS and Gameboy ones… ever so pretty and compact.
Thunderbirds RP Account. John Tracy is my only friend. Let me in your computer, pretty please... oh, and ask me anything. I am a super intelligent program, after all.
