After the fiasco with Eldritch J, I wanted to show Doll my new upgrades. I found her sitting in the classroom, picture of V in hand.
"Hey Doll! Notice anything different?" I said while gesturing to myself.
She sighed.
"What did you do now?" Doll asked, not surprised.
Guess she was used to my shenanigans by now.
"Did you see the Eldritch Solver Monster? Made holograms?" I said.
"Yes. It tried to get in earlier but I stopped Lizzy from letting it in," Doll said.
"Good for you, you saved everyone who was in here," I said.
"Yes, I did. Though it was frustrating that Lizzy would so easily fall for that trick. The Solver used Lizzy's own visage as a trick," Doll said.
I knew that's what it used to try to trick her, but I still couldn't help but facepalm.
"She is so stupid, and egotistical. Lizzy seriously wanted to let it in? Didn't think it was weird that there was another drone that looked exactly like her? She loves herself that much?" I said.
Doll rolled her eyes and shrugged.
"That's Lizzy for you," she said.
"Ok, whatever, back to my story. I went eldritch mode to fight it, wound up slicing some limbs off and gutting it. After I left to avoid Uzi's gun exploding I assimilated the parts into my body, and that's why I'm taller now. Also I have it's hologram projector things," I said while bringing out said limbs.
"That's good, you can use holograms to help with my plan," Doll said.
"Mhm, sure. You actually got a plan yet?" I asked.
"Yes. Prom is approaching, and I will use that to my advantage. But first, Lizzy needs to spend time V to gain her trust," Doll said.
"I don't have to get involved with that, do I?" I asked.
"Not yet," she said.
After some planning and discussion, I went back to my room. I was unsure what to do since prom wouldn't be for another 2 weeks, so it'd be a short while before the next episode. I looked around my room at all the corpses, still had plenty of leftover oil so I wouldn't need to go hunting. Maybe get more involved with Uzi now since the plot started? Maybe....but I don't wanna reveal myself yet.
"What do you think I should do?" I asked a corpse, it didn't respond.
Then I had an idea.
"Hey, that sounds entertaining. I'll do it!" I said before teleporting outside to grab a random camera from the wall.
I grabbed a corpse that was mostly intact, missing its lower half and having a hole in its visor. I set it in a chair with its back towards the camera so it looked like a normal, not dead drone. I sat across from it, dimmed the lights so the only things visible were me, the table, and the corpse, and then began recording.

"So you finally caught on, huh? Noticed there's something off about me? Well congrats on not being as stupid as every other drone in this bunker," Crawler said before chuckling to himself.

"This world compared to my old one is definitely way more sci-fi and shit, especially considering any AI there was nowhere near advanced enough to have this level of personality and behavior. J's description of barely sentient toasters would be the best description for what existed back there," Crawler said.
Static.
"Yeah I used to be human back in my old world, honestly the more surprising thing slash bigger what the fuck is that this world existed as a tv show. So yeah, basically I'm inside one of my favorite shows as an OC. Believe me or not, that's the truth," Crawler said.
Static.
"My mental state? Probably could be better. While I haven't had any as of late, a while ago I did have some crazy hallucinations. One involved me trapped in an infinite hallway, another me confronting alternate versions of myself. Doll hasn't had any, so probably not a Solver thing. Though that could be because she was born a drone and I'm a human from another dimension turned drone, and thus it affects me differently. My friends and family? Didn't really have any friends, so no one to miss there. As for my family? I dunno. When I first arrived I did kinda care, and they were in the back of my mind. I just kinda repressed thinking of them. But now? I don't. The only person I can really say I really care about is Doll. I feel nothing towards my old family," Crawler said.

"The others? Well, I only really know the main characters, and the ones who were named or have something noticeable about them. The 3 Murder Drones and Uzi? Big enough that I won't mess with them too much to avoid fucking up the events of the story. Khan? Uzi's dad, thus he's too close to her to risk doing something. Lizzy is literally just the generic mean girl who's the queen of the school. Doll was first presented as her sidekick/second in command before getting character development. Thad was just the only guy who wasn't a jerk to Uzi. Rebbeca was a random drone who was named in one episode, and then there's the fire head guy who I think is named Braiden? I dunno. Then there's the teacher, and that's all he really gets. Guess there's purposely so many not flushed out characters to keep the body count up. As well as making them stupid, can't forget how stupid so many of these drones are. Doll and Uzi being the best exceptions," Crawler said.

"Despite knowing how dangerous the Solver can be, I still kinda want it. I mean come on! I went from being a regular human to a super powered drone that can turn into an eldritch monster!" Crawler said right as he turned into said monster to show off.
"Call me insane all you want, I wouldn't give this up for ANYTHING," was the last thing he said before lunging at the Interviewer and knocking the camera offline.
