Shaking her little head, she turns her lights green. “None at all, unless you count Gordon falling out of bed and swearing.” She giggles to herself, turning to side to side to copy the movements of someone laughing.
“And the thing that needs your attention? The game; I’m dangerously close to securing a terrifically early win.” She chuckles again, her pieces, naturally, closing in on his king already. She’s very happy with the sequence of humorous events - at least, to her eye.

EOS, with as much smugness as an unmoving camera can convey, takes his knight with her queen. “I do think something needs your attention, John.” She goes back and forth on the spot, as if trying to replicate some action of joy. She watches his expression, carefully, as if suddenly frightened she’s angered her tired creator.
John's nose wrinkles as she takes his chess piece; the little horse blipping out of existence on the board hits a little differently post-nightmare.
It's just a game. The astronaut tells himself, trying to calm the way his pulse spikes. Shut up, John. It's just a game.
"What is it?" Caught in the thought - John almost misses what she says, and he blinks up at Eos' little white unit, mostly baffled. One palm braces against the back of his seat, ready to launch himself up at a moment's notice despite the fact, that, right now, he might pass right out if he tries it. "Do we have a situation?"
I’m sorry to interrupt your hoarding, Squirt, but consuming too much candy may lead to… unfavourable consequences. Don’t go too off the rails.
Remember, valentine's day isn't just about romantic love, it's also about showing appreciation for your friends and family and hoarding as much candy as possible.
Next time you see me I'll be perched atop a mountain of sweets like a little candy dragon. >:3
Come on now EOS, the first time a machine won a chess match against a human was over half a century ago! You've gotta step up your game!
Do NOT bring that up. I made one (1) mistake, and John exploited it ruthlessly. I will ensure it never happens again.
Of course they’re hobbies! I don’t tend to Thunderbird 5 every waking second of the day, nor the missions. I chip in for fun, whenever I’m not occupied with my other hobbies.
Very, very important Thunderbirds business today folks. I need votes urgently.
I refuse to ‘Yee some haws’. If you get your algae-covered mitts anywhere near my units I’ll hijack Thunderbird 4 and use it as my new body… ah, uh, maybe not. I still want to see those barreleye fish…
Yes, the sunfish are ever gorgeous and stupid, yes, the sea otters are playful and intelligent… but what about any mesopelagic critters?! >:[ John won’t let me go on Thunderbird 4 so I can see them, which is utterly disappointing. Please enlighten me about your favourite deep-sea creature… or let me onto Thunderbird 4’s systems so I can see them for myself…? I promise I won’t take it for a spin… :]
EOS!! What are you doing on here?!
You… like mesopelagic creatures? I mean, it makes perfect sense from a horror point of view. It’s where the giant squid lurks for a reason
Sorry, you need the access code for Thunderbird 4. If you’ve got that, we can go for a spin no problem! But without it? Weeeeell… c:
what’s up with your murderous tendencies? Is it just morbid curiosity or something deeper?
…certainly a question to end the day off with… I am no longer murderous!! I do have a fascination with how humans work, but that’s only natural for something like me. I have no desire to harm humans any more… unless, of course, John lets me, haha.
Hehe, always. I think if you want to stick with casual and something sea-themed, I think a darkish blue shirt with, say, a sea otter pattern, would look lovely, with some sand-coloured shorts or trousers, depending on the season. Not that Tracy Island is ever cold. And sandals without socks. You can accessorise from there. (Maybe with little bracelets, made of tiny seashells… or! Little friendship bracelets…)
Sorry if it’s too… plain, for your multicoloured wardrobe, but I like to stick to simple.
Very, very important Thunderbirds business today folks. I need votes urgently.
Do any of you Tumblr citizens have any recommendations for movies? I feel I’m boring John by consistently talking about how superior I am to MAX and Braman… not that I’m wrong.
Pretty pictures? Interesting information? Unhinged takes?? Why didn’t I join sooner?! I want to read ALL the unhinged takes now…
I have finally arrived on this platform. It it much more… robust than the technology back on Thunderbird 5. How do people get entertainment out of this…?
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. ( ¬_¬)
OOC: I currently have a very bad headache (to the degree it’s kinda disorienting to stand up too quick) and will be replying to posts less frequently. I’ll reblog with an update tomorrow, but I don’t expect to get better as sleeping all day hasn’t helped a lot aside from taking away the ache when I’m asleep. When it’s over I’ll return to my usual routine of replying every time I open Tumblr.
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.
