mtlumby2d Chapter 304: Ale is fine!
Chapter 304: Ale is fine!
"Right..." Ale said sighing and... doing nothing?
She was doing nothing, she was just there staring at empty air, or at least Alexa was seeing her stare at empty air, weird.
Or not?
Ale suddenly shined!
And afterward her whole body was like nothing, as if nothing had happened before!
Even the small splat bit that Alexa forgor to clean was gone!
Alexa didn't need to clean that later yay!
No wait, "Main Core!" Alexa said pointing at the TV, "Did you do the thing?"
["Thing.exe has not been executed."]
"That was mine," Ale suddenly said raising her hand, "Mine was complaining about security issues and wouldn't stop badgering, so I compromised with it a little."
Security?
But they were safe! They were in Alexa's brain juices, bad things couldn't happen here!
It was the safest place for Alexa!
Alexa knew it, she has been here before!
You couldn't... get.... hurt... or... hmm....
"Main Core!" Alexa turned towards the TV again, "Help Ale's Main Core with what they want!"
["....Host?"]
"That is not necessary, Alexa," Ale said shaking her head, "Main Core is just being weird about it, dunno why they wanted to split like that, probably a remnant from the main blueprint or something."
["...As you wish."]
["Sending query.."]
["Query response received..."]
["Adjusting..."]
["Granting... User level registry."]
["Done."]
Ale suddenly did a kind of weird pulse thing and... it was like the one before actually.
"Oh..." Ale said looking surprised at her own hand, "... That was... interesting?"
Alexa looked all around and didn't notice anything weird, if anything, the only thing that had really changed was that Ale had her room again.
"The room!" Alexa said, turning to stare at the door, glaring at it like it had eaten the last mango pancake (It probably had, if not, why had it run away?). "The room is back!"
"It was gone?" Ale asked confused, hadn't Alexa said that before? Alexa was sure she had said that before, probably Ale forgor it after Ale nomed the bad memories?
It was a bad memory after all, what could it be if not a bad memory the fact that she had left Alexa alone?
Who even leaves someone as cute as Alexa alone? That's stuff that baddies do!
Okay, they were baddies, they worked as minions after all, minions for a Super Villain even!
So they were not good peeps, but still!
There were bad peeps and [Bad] peeps!
They weren't evil [Evil], just good [Evil]!
Like they said before, an actual [Villain] was not bad, they just did whatever they wanted!
But leaving Alexa alone? That was actual Evil not fun Evil!
It was bad!
Because Alexa was then left alone and sad!
And no one wanted a sad Alexa! That was not how the [World] was supposed to work!
"It was!" Alexa responded nodding so fast that someone who didn't know would probably think her head would fall off because she was that fast!
This was why Alexa liked to hang around here with Ale, her meatsuit couldn't actually follow her intent and move like she wanted, it was so... restricting.
Here she could actually nod at Mach 7 speeds and she would be fine, but on the real world? She could barely nod with some force. Alexa was bound by the laws of physics!
Who even likes being bound to those things?
Alexa didn't.
"Well, good to see it back." Ale said nodding, "So... Any idea about the Main Core in my head then?"
"I dunno." Alexa said shaking her head, "Alexa can't see it, nom it, lick it or even touch it."
Alexa had tried at least two of those things!
"Hmm..." Ale hummed thoughtfully, why wasn't she gnnuiing tho? That was more efficient, it was how Alexa thought of things! "Any explanation on your side Main Core?"
Oh, explanations! Alexa liked those! They were so useful and helped Alexa when she didn't understand things!
"Are you sure?" Ale asked back after receiving such a wonderful explanation! It helped greatly! "But then how do you explain this? I mean, I am not doing it am I?"
Alexa nodded sagely, she was getting it.
"But I am not losing any Mana Point?" Ale should lose Mana? Why? She wasn't doing anything that used her [Core] Alexa was looking at it right now!
*Stareeeeeeeee*
See? Alexa was looking! She was not missing anything!
"I see..." BECAUSE ALEXA WAS NOT GETTING ANYTHING OF THIS!
ALEXA ALSO WANTED TO KNOOOOOW!!!!
"Gnnuuuuuu......................." Alexa even gnuued cutely! Now explain to Alexa!
Gib deets plz!
"Eh? What do you mean?" Ale asked confused as she turned to look at Alexa, did her cute attack work? "...But she is Alexa... How could she not hear it if I can?"
"Alexa also wants to know that!" Alexa said pointing at the TV, "Alexa was sure she connected the Main Core to the TV! But there is nothing!"
["Connection was terminated from outside."]
"Ah... That Main Core is a bully!" Alexa declared as thus, so it was the truth!
"...Main Core....*Sigh*" Ale sighed! "Stop bullying Alexa. Imma bonk you."
"Bonk the bully!" Alexa approved of that!
[...Understood.]
Suddenly a voice from the skies came!
And it was not [Core]!
"Wah!" Alexa said as she said cutely and jumped back, just as a cute girl should!
"Don't be cheeky." Ale said smirking, "Just connect to the TV like Alexa wants."
[As you wish Mistress.]
This Main Core did sound like a girl, but it was a weird girl, it didn't sound like Alexa, Ale or Alexandra! Weird.
[Greetings Alexa, I will answer any question I am able to so long they don't affect in a negative way Mistress.]
No wait! It did sound like one of them! It sounded like Ale but more girly!
"hehehehe." Alexa smiled as she laughed at the idea of an Ale that didn't want to look all coolz and edgy.
"Thank you Main Core." Ale said nodding, "So, explain again what you were saying to me."
[...I'll resume it for Alexa's benefit.]
Nice! Alexa liked the resumed versions! She only wanted the important bits, gib deets!
[As far as I am aware. I was never part of a bigger entity or another iteration called Main Core.]
"Alexa knew that." Alexa said confused, "What Alexa wants to know is why she can't nom or lick you."
[Because we are not a physical concept.]
"But Alexa has nomed and licked other Cores, and Main Cores." Alexa pointed out. "Right?"
"... We did touch [Golem]'s Core... And took a bite of that [Cat Girl Core]." Ale said afterwards, "And anything I can do, Alexa could do."
[I have not categorized those memories, wait a second.]
"Alexa has them!" Alexa said helpfully, "Actual Main Core that isn't a cheeky weird girl, please provide the clip!"
["As you wish Host."]
And sure enough, on the TV a clip started playing, it was from their POV. In it Ale was wearing their Rhapsody suit and was eating and talking with their [Meat Shield].
Then Ale clicked the speed up button on the remote, so the video turned funny as it sounded like mouses speaking instead of peeps.
The video showed Ale interacting with the [Blueprint] and [Core] of the [Meat Shield].
It also showed them fiddling with the [Cat Girl Core], the one that they got because Ale wanted to be a cat girl or something. Alexa didn't understand why she wanted to have cat ears and the such.
Alexa didn't think having a tail was cute, if anything wouldn't that be bad for their work?
But Alexa wasn't the one fighting so she would leave those decisions to Ale since she was the one that fought like a [BioWeapon] the most of them, Alexa just needed to be cute and pampered!
"See?" Ale said as the video clip ended, "We can interact with Cores, or at least I could...No wait... Do you have the video of when Alexa made those annoying brats into [Core Users]?"
["We do."]
"... Can you play it?" Ale said in an annoyed tone.
"Main Core, don't bully Ale!" Alexa said, frowning at Main Core.
Why was it being a meany? It was Ale! You weren't supposed to be a meany to Ale! She was coolz!
["Playing video memory."]
The video started playing, this one was from Alexa's point of view, so it had more environmental data compared to the ones recorded from Ale's point of view. With these you could even change the point of view to look all around!
How? Dunno, Alexa was that good at recording things! She did not limit herself to the puny limits of the meatbags! She could look all around all the time!
One couldn't hide from the eyes of Alexaaaaaa, Alexa can see eveeeeeerrrrryyyyyttttthhhiiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!!
Not that Ale didn't know that, but she merely looked at the screen, wonder why she wasn't changing the point of view? Did she like looking from Alexa's eyeballs? Understandably, those were cute after all, Alexa made them extra cute, they also tasted nice. Alexa had licked one before when she was bored.
"See there?" Ale said pointing at the video, as if Main Core was with them, silly Ale...
No wait, Main Core was with them right? Alexa knew she had one in her brain juices... well, not really in her brain juices, hers was somewhere inside her chest?
Where did Ale keep hers, though?
*Staaaaaaaarrreeeeeeee*
In her Consciousness Stream? Wasn't kinda stuffy in there?
Alexa wasn't someone to complain or say anything about that since she had Ale and Alexandra in her Consciousness Streams before, but Alexa was different!
Hers was beeeeger!
Ale's was smoller than Alexa after all.
And flatter.
"That is where Alexa not only interacted with one, she triggered the Core generation too." Ale said stopping the video using the remote and turned to point at Alexa, "I have also managed to touch those a few times, and we can touch Main Core. Alexa, can you stream those memories my way?"
"Alexa can!" Alexa quickly said and turned at the TV, "Main Core, do the thing!"
["Executing TheThing.exe."]
[...Receiving data stream...]
[Parsing data through firewall...]
[Parsing data through antivirus...]
[Sanitizing data...]
[Opening Virtual environment...]
[Data successfully appraised.]
[Opening data.]
"That felt excessive." Alexa said grumbling.
[Experience says otherwise.]
"...It is cheeky." Alexa grumbled again.
"That she is," Ale said nodding, "See what I mean?"
"Alexa will find a way to nom it if she bullies Ale." Alexa made the promise and she would fulfill that promise! In the name of all that sacred Alexa made the promise!
In the name of Mango!
"Then, since Alexa can and has done that, why can't she lick you?!?" Alexa asked yet again, how many times had she asked that already?
Why couldn't the cheeky main core just answer?!?
[I do not know.]
["Inferior design."]
"Main Core is stooopid." Alexa had decided as thus, so it was the truth!
"Well, at least we know everything will be okay." Ale said from the side, "Do you want to come out before we leave for Aquila?"
Did Alexa want?
"Not really?" Alexa said, tilting her head, there was nothing to do outside, Ale was already planning and dealing with their stuff.
Her toys and food were sent to Aquila already with the luggage right?
"Our stuff is in Aquila right?" Alexa asked just in case.
"Ah right, Alexanders did take all of our things away..." Ale said, remembering that bit, "So all your toys, plushies, and the Bathtub fleet are in Aquila right now."
"Comodore Shampoo!" Alexa hadn't taken a bath in so long! She would so take one on that side!
[Big Brother] better get them the biggest bathtube so Alexa can have the most epic fight of all times! The seven bath product kingdoms will know true terror!
Muahahahahahahahah.
"Whatever you are thinking, just don't get water on the carpet." Ale said shaking her head from the side.
"Okay!" Alexa said saluting, she had taken great pleasure in doing the AlexaSalute.png emote.
It looked cute.
"So, what do we do with the schedule?" Ale said in a more serious tone.
It was Serious Business time!
"What about it?" Alexa asked confused, "I go to school in the morning and you do your things in the afternoon right?"
That was the official schedule, now that they didn't have Alexandra around the evening was open, but they could just watch TV or play inside the brain juices.
"I mean, I take the time for the missions too, so don't you want extra time outside?" Ale said, pointing out and summoning something on the TV.
Memories of the times that Ale had been going around in their super coolz minion armor as Rhapsody, the latest Anti Hero in the community!
"But... Alexa also enjoys watching those episodes." Alexa said honestly, "She even bought the limited edition Rhapsody Popcorn!"
They tasted like Mango! Mango Popcorn were awesome!
".... I don't even have merch though..." Ale said confused looking at the popcorn since Alexa summoned them for an example. "...thank you for the merch idea though."
Heheheheheh, they would sell so well!
Now Ale only needed to find a partner to do the merch, a coolz partner! Like [Big Brother]!
It was time for FallenAngel Ale to get sponsorship deals!
Yaaaay!
Maybe she could get a new coolz edgy setup? Alexa would ask [Big Brother] for that later. Ale didn't take her own job seriously! Seriously!
Did Alexa need to do all the work here?!?!? Alexa was the cute silly girl! Ale was the serious business coolz and edgy one!
The role were reversed right now! That was not how the [Story] should go!
"Okay then," Ale said while Alexa had her internal monologue, "Then we will keep the schedule as is, I'll try to get out of class early when possible so you can play in the park too."
"Yay!" Alexa would get another Park chapter!
"Also.... I promise to not maul your friends." Ale added on the side.
"Yay! Glory and Alan get to keep their grabbers!" Alexa was happy for that one too! "They are good peeps!"
"...Glory was a bitch." Ale said frowning.
"Language!" Alexa quickly covered her own mouth as she called out, "We can't use no-no words! Cute girls don't use them!"
"I am not cute, so I can use them." Ale defended, "Pretty girls get away with that."
"That's cheating!" Alexa complained immediately, "Cute girls should be able to get away with that too!"
"Nu-uh!" Ale said sticking out her tongue, "Can't be cute and foul mouthed, but you can be foul mouthed and pretty. It's the gap, you will get it when you grow up."
Ale was cheating!
It sounded like it was right, but it was still cheating!
Alexa also wanted to say No-No words! But she couldn't because she was too cute for foul things to enter (Or exit) her mouth!
The [World] was unfair!
Alexa would file a complaint!
