It's been awhile, huh? I haven't seen let alone write in this thing for years. But since I found it might as well use it, and I know exactly what I'll use it for! A guide too the Murder Drones because they're literally CATS! Like whoever made them were OBSESSED with cats. Which I don't get but at least it wasn't birds right?

Anyways.. Since they're cats that means they have almost identical body language too cats, which is surprisingly complex. It's obviously not SUPERRR complicated but it's still impressive the amount of stuff I found solely on body language. Because did you know that when a cat is agitated or facing a dilemma it's tail lashes from side to side? I sure didn't. But already thing's make so much more sense! Another fact, the tip of a cats tail will quiver when it's happy or pleased. Which makes me think back to the time V's tail quivered when I broke my leg and she had too carry me.. That wasn't a fun day. But it was odd V's tail was quivering, was it because of the smell of oil? Or perhaps because I was injured. Whatever the reason I'd rather not dwell on it.. Another thing is slow blinking! Which means your cat loves you and trusts you, I honestly don't remember if N or V have ever slow blinked me.. But I'll sure watch out for it >:>

Now obviously cats have a lot of body language, but what about their habits and behavior? There's a lot. Like y'know when a cat brings you a dead animal? That's it's way of telling you you're a bad hunter, and also it's way of telling you how to hunt. Luckily neither N or V have brought me a dead Worker Drone corpse so.. There's that. Another thing is purring, which I've heard them both do on numerous occasions. More so N than V obviously, but cats purr when they're relaxed (In which V is basically never at ease) or may also purr too self-soothe if they're feeling stressed or injured (In which V would never do In front of anyone). Also, can I talk about how much they sleep?? Like obviously cats sleep a lot for various reasons but like, half the time I see N and V they're napping. It's honestly kind of annoying sometimes. Except for the time I stumbled upon V sleeping on the pods floor, she was curled up in a ball and it was adorable.

Another cool thing I wanted too write about is the noises they make! Other than purring cats meow, I've never heard them meow but I think it's a reasonable assumption that they can (And maybe sometimes do). Anyways, cats usually never meow to each other, they meow at humans too get their attention! Which seemingly always works. Also.. Hissing! Something they definitely do. Whenever cats hiss it can mean a couple things, like it's feeling uncomfortable and hissing in fear as a act of defense. Or because it's upset. I think you can tell who does what version of hissing..

Wow it's gotten quite late, I forgot how nice it is to write. I definitely will be writing more about my discoveries soon, especially since I see N and V tomorrow HEHEHE!

Also if anyone see's this BITE ME! YOU SAW NOTHING!!

So y'know how I said neither N or V have brought me any dead Worker Drone corpses yet? That changed today when I found a arm on my bed. I had just gotten back from school and was gonna chill before visiting the Murder Drones when I saw it there, luckily dad wasn't home though. Because I unapologetically screamed ^^
I didn't know which one did it but I was gonna find out.

So when I got there N was taking a nap and V was sitting atop the pod, she was watching me the whole way in. So I said "Hey" and she titled her head and casually responded with "Did it help?" .... Yeah I think I know who committed breaking and entering just to tell me I'm a bad hunter via a drones severed arm. But why would V waste time in her day just for that? It honestly made my heart flutter a bit knowing V took the time to do something for me, even if it was a limb. ALTHOUGH NO ONE CAN KNOW BECAUSE THIS IS STUPID!! And V was still basically insulting me- meanie >:(

She must've took notice of my dumbfounded expression because she then said "The arm" and I replied with "Yeah- I saw the arm. Why would you do that?? And how could it HELP me?" Obviously I knew the answer but I wanted to see what she would say, and I don't want anyone too know about my extensive cat knowledge. But honestly I wish I would've just said something like "No, the arm didn't help because I don't hunt my own kind. Thanks anyways" because the face she made made me feel bad. But yeah then she just said "Nevermind" and flew off.. I wanted too apologize but she didn't come back the whole time I was there, on the bright side when N woke up I discovered something cool and very cat-like. He likes laser pointers.

Sooo yeah.. I did indeed bring a laser pointer out of curiosity if either one of them would like it, and N does because he chased it for hours. I bet V does too, I just gotta introduce it too her when we're alone so N doesn't join in or make her feel uncomfortable. Not like he'd personally do that! It's just V would never do anything like that with other drones around. But if I hid and then used the laser pointer I guarantee she would dart after it. It would be adorable...ly STUPID a-a-and I bet i-i could use it as blackmail! Y-yeah! ..... Oh who am I kidding of course I wouldn't do that and it would be cute.. Plus after what happened today I wanna try and make her happy, as embarrassing as it sounds... (bite me..)

I'll be seeing them again tomorrow so I'll try and do my master plan then.. MWHAHAHA!

Wow evil laughter looks weird on paper

Honestly, today went pretty well. My apology to V was a little awkward but still great (Her tail even quivered!), Which made up for the fact I wasn't able to use the laser pointer on her, I did bring it but never found a good time to use it =( at least I found out something new though! They like balls of yarn <3

I brought two, and came back with one. Because V totallyy stole one when she thought no one was looking >:} I SAW THOUGH! HEHEH. But seriously, N had a BLAST! He played with it for hoursss, it was fun to watch XD
another thing N did was show me his stomach, which is a BIG act of trust for cats. It made me happy knowing he trusts me, because as someone who hasn't had friends their whole life, until, like, a year ago, it's kinda hard not too think What if they don't like me? What if they're only pretending to be my friend? Obviously I almost never have those thoughts anymore but.. It's still nice getting solid proof that they actually like me and stuff. DAMN THESE TRUST ISSUESSSS!!

Anywho! That's really all that happened today, it was pretty chill. And while I sadly don't see N and V until the day after tomorrow (Dumb school..), At least it gives me more time to think about what cat toy I should bring next >=D

Until the 10th!

Also I WILL succeed in my mission to see V chase a red dot!

Wow. Today sure was something.. AWESOME! Because of two reasons, one (The not as cool one): I brought one of those sticks that has a piece of string wrapped around it, and said string is holding a feather, y'know what I mean? Well I got one and brought it too the corpse spire, I stuck it on one of the pods walls and as always N LOVED IT. He didn't play with it as long as the others but that's understandable. Butttt (This is the second more wonderful part of why today is awesome) before all this when I was heading over too the spire I peeked inside hoping V was alone and outside and sure enough, she was! Although she was a little preoccupied with the yarn ball she stole.. I wasn't complaining though because it was wholesome-

She was literally on all fours batting it around with a quivering tail! But.. At that moment I felt like I was overheating, which was SUperrr weird. Like, why was my body so comfortably warm?? I even felt a little.. Fuzzy? Yeah fuzzy. That's never happened to me before! Did someone give me a virus or something? Because it became even worse when I realized that she seemed too get a little bored with the yarn ball, so I had the brilliant idea of using my laser pointer, I turned it on and V IMMEDIATELY started chasing it around. I could feel my robotic heart beat faster as she did. It was just confusingly.. Nice? I wouldn't mind feeling it again, and I ESPECIALLY wouldn't mind seeing V goof around with random cat toys again.

But enough about feelings! There's one more thing that happened >=]

N meowed.

It was only once and very quiet! But he still did it :D

And that bout sums it up, today was indeed a good day. Despite the weird feeling stuff-

Today was a success, I saw all the wholesomeness =)

So, I found some big cardboard boxes while heading over too the spire, a couple even had packing peanuts! And I thought:
'Hey, cats love boxes! Why not steal and bring these too the corpse spire?'
So I did! I carried them all too the spire and scattered them around while N and V were sleeping (Both were napping when I got there btw). I was very excited to see their reaction, especially V's. And it did not disappoint! >:D

When they woke up N looked shocked for about two seconds before squealing in joy and happily pouncing in a box, his purring even vibrated it! He was just so content it was adorable -^- #LoafNisbestN.

V looked shocked as well but also annoyed, but I know she secretly loved it because of her tail! HEHE
I love how their tails give them away <3
What's even better is that she actually got in a box! AND THE BOX SHE GOT HAD PACKING PEANUTS!! I swear her purring was louder AND she was makin biscuits B)

But.. While I was watching V that weird sensation came back, again it isn't a bad feeling! It's just- new. I felt like I was being wrapped in a fluffy heated blanket on a cold night.. I also just couldn't stop staring! It was like she hypnotizing me! Arrggh I swear if you gave me a virus or something V I'm gonna! I'm gonna- Uhhh... STEAL YOUR YARN BALL! Yeah! HAHA!! I'LL ALSO YEET A PICKLE AT YOU! As soon as I find one-

Then N just pounced in and out of boxes while V slept some more. I watched and even brought out my laser pointer (Yes, I do bring it everywhere I go, Bite me) for N after he requested it. It was really just a chill day (Well, night. N and V burn in sunlight. Because they're not only cats but also vampires).

Anywho, nothing else happened, the only other thing I can think of is that I don't know what cat toy I should bring next T,T

I think I have a crush on V... Actually, no. I'm Confident I have a crush on V.

Honestly I think I have for awhile, I'm just oblivious too my own feelings, but today was the final nail in the realization coffin. My first crush is a Disassembly Drone, and a female at that.

I'm obviously not gonna explain my sexuality crisis on paper but long story short I think I'm Bisexual. Might change or be inaccurate but I'm very tired so bite me ✌

Now enough about that, lets actually write about the Murder Drones being cats! What this book was intended on being. But hey, it's my only usable notebook and writing my feelings helps so bite me I do what I want <3

Yesterday, while I was walking towards the corpse spire, sad I didn't have any new cat toys with me, V came out of nowhere and pounced on top of me. I wasn't even in the spire yet! It was still a good 3 minutes away, but there she was, nuzzling into the crook of my neck and purring excessively. If it wasn't obvious enough that she was happy I also witnessed one quivering tail and felt two hands makin biscuits on my chest. But while V was in wonderland I was flustered beyond all belief, completely frozen. Just going with the flow. I did however bring up the courage to speak after a good 10 minutes, even if it was just a simple "V?", she hummed in response. The conversation from there just turned into me stuttering questions and V not answering any of them, it became even worse when N appeared. He was initially confused, but after I QUICKLY explained to him what happened So That He Didn't Get The Wrong Ideas- he became even more dumbfounded.

It clearly wasn't like V too cuddle anyone, let alone me, who is someone she seemingly hates. But here we are. Honestly I have a theory on what happened, I didn't tell N as it was just a hunch butttt.. I'm pretty darn sure it was Lizzy's fault.

So basically earlier that day Lizzy had brought and drowned herself in her new perfume that she apparently made from a plant. It didn't even smell good, but everyone was all over it. I made it very clear that the scent was sickening and payed the price for it, because she sprayed a decent amount on me. It definitely stuck too my clothes even after drying them. But looking back I think it was catnip, I even did a fair amount of research on it and the smell it emits was almost identical too Lizzy's perfume, and the effects it has on cats was very similar too how V acted. But if it was Catnip why didn't N react to it? Well I think from my clothes drying, the wind probably washing away some of the smell, and than V covering my whole body and nuzzling me, the scent was long gone by the time N got there about 20 minutes after V pounced. Sooo yeah, screw Lizzy.

Anyways.. After talking too N about the situation he decided to just carry us too the spire and wait it out. I agreed despite wanting out of V's grasp (But only because I could feel the blush on my face-) but really, there was absolutely nothing we could do. Attempting to pry her off would put me in danger, and we couldn't just shut her off or knock her offline. It was just a waiting game.

A WAITING GAME THAT LASTED TWO HOURS.

YEAH, She literally snuggled me for 2 hours! I wasn't complaining though, well.. I was out loud so I could keep my 'Angsty Teen' persona, WHICH I STILL AM THERE'S JUST A LOT HAPPENING!! BITE ME!

But yeah I don't even really remember what happened after V snapped out of it.. I think she immediately flew away and me and N just stood there in silence.. Might have played with the laser pointer. I don't see them today because school but I do tomorrow. And I am PANICKING about what I'll do when I see V, if she'll even be at the corpse spire. I'm kind of hoping she isn't-

But that's all, yesterday was eventful yet not eventful.. But at least I have a cat toy for tomorrow >=]

Someone help me-
