Her Masterpiece (Ruan Mei X F.OC)

Cat-Cake Critters

(I really wanted to make up how my OC could work in the game, but I gave her a bit too many weapons for that. XD It would be confusing to figure it out, but I might still make a chapter about how gameplay could work because of Yolo. But one thing I am sure of is, "Close your weary eyes, for the end is nigh." is the ultimate voice line lol)

"If this dog ever pisses on my boots you are finding it inside the fragmentum." Nihl simply promised as Peppy's favorite resting spot was laying across her boots or on them and even she was not a monster enough to move and wave up the sleeping dog.

Asta just gave a smile but on the inside sweat was pouring down her trembling body. When she first met Nihl she did think it was some bluff-like threat... Well... Tell that to the scientist's corpse that's floating in space somewhere, may his soul rest in peace.

Peppy, the little dog, laying like a sack of potatoes across the top of Nihl's left boot, the little thing almost wired into becoming best friends with the one person that didn't give a crap about him... Like all dogs or cats tend to do, love the one person that tells the others to not bring them home... Honestly all animals were drawn to the emotion deprived woman in an adorably amusing way.

Asta's only reassurance was that Nihl was still munching on her lunch, which was just a simple ham and cheese sandwich made with two untoasted toast slices... She'd have put it down if she really wanted the dog harm.

She might not really act like a normal human should, having something weird to her only Herta and Nihl herself seemed to know about but she didn't care, no matter if she keeps repeating she is a failure and is an empty husk, Asta doesn't really think so.

Nihl has cues, habits, reactions and quirks even if she doesn't see them... For example the reason why she was currently quite oddly being held by the thigh near her knee as she sat next to her in the cafeteria.

It might be odd to most but she had got to learn it was more of a 'I like you close but in a friends way' since despite lacking many emotions even through her own testing with her, she was quite a tactile person.

"Please don't, Peppy is a very important member of the space station."

"All he ever did is lounge around and eat my boots."

"Always straight to the point are you? He just likes you."

"I wonder why."

"Curious?"

"I wouldn't say but there is something." She shrugged. "And it is not purely annoyance I suppose."

-------------------------------------------

The sub level of the station was closed off by Herta, that being the laboratory and storage room for the geniuses only... And Nihl.

And so the elevator was able to take her down there.

Many in the space station only knew her as a guard dog type of person, always showing up to take care of the fragmentum monsters and would loiter around and half of the time no one had any idea where she was and what she did.

Well...

She closed the airlock behind her as she walked around the control room near the backroom with a rudimentary bedroom set up in it.

She clicked in the access code in the terminal and scrolled through the new logs.

"Stable." Breathing out before logging out.
