Darcy pokes around inside the city's database. Rat does its best to keep them both sane.

this is the longest short story i've written so far, hope it characterizes darcy in a way i haven't yet written down

cw: mild digital cosmic horror, a near-death experience, and bad sleeping habits

[Warehouse den. Darcy is typing on hxr computer, craning hxr neck and staring intently.] [Rat opens the back door and comes in.]

Rat: Evening. Darcy: Hiii! R: Whatcha up to, cutie? D: Well, since my first little experiment [Darcy's disembodied right hand flies up and pokes Rat in the cheek], I changed my focus a bit. See this? [Points to the third of hxr four screens.] R: [Takes her jacket off and tosses it to its usual spot next to the mattress.] I do see that. Map? D: Sorta! I'm poking around in some of the city's more exposed local networks. It's a visualization of everything I've found. R: Oh, did you wanna watch that old DVD tomorrow, then? D: Yeah, this will probably keep me up a bit. R: No worries, babe. [Stretches her arms. Loud pops and cracks ensue.] I'm fuckin' tired, so. [Leans over to kiss Darcy on the cheek.] Goin' to bed. Don't strain your eyes too much. D: Good night! R: [Flops unceremoniously onto the mattress.] Night. [Darcy continues working. And working.] [Shx probably should have gone to bed a little while ago.]

> {Another day.}

R: You want pizza? D: Hm? [Hxr eyes don't leave the screen.] Oh, sure. Did you order yet, or— R: [Raspy chuckle.] It's already here. [Clears a spot on the table to set the box.] D: Thank you! [With a third disembodied hand, deftly pulls a slice from the pizza.] R: Ooh, learned some new tricks, huh? D: Yeah. Feels good to be able to multitask. [Pulls up something new on the second screen. Leans in a little closer.] R: [Sigh.] [Rat fidgets a little. Darcy doesn't appear to notice.] R: Babe? D: [Gaze remains stationary.] Hm? R: You gonna be like… done anytime soon? D: With what? R: Your datamining. Could you like, take a break? D: Once I'm done with this server, sure. R: Er- sure, I guess. I don't wanna break you out of your focus, but… [Trails off.] D: But what? R: You're a little distracted lately. D: Aren't I always? R: I don't mean the ADHD, I mean sleeping. Are you getting enough sleep? D: … R: When was the last time you stood up? D: Calculating… [Eyes go fuzzy for a moment.] Eighteen hours, twenty-seven minutes, fifty-five seconds. R: Gxrl, get up. [Darcy has no arms, so Rat gently pulls hxr back from the chair and turns hxr to face her before standing hxr up in front of her.] D: Hey, er- D: Mmmf. [Rat kisses Darcy on the mouth.] [The pizza lies forgotten.]

>> {Another day.}

[Rat sits on the floor close to one corner of the desk. Darcy sits at hxr monitors, as before. Four hands now dance across the keyboard and with a few small devices on the table.] R: How's it going? D: Too much just to jot down and record. I might have to dive in myself. R: Is that really, like, worth it…? D: Well, it's experience instead of feeling. I should learn a lot more. R: [yawn] Dangerous. Weren't there warnings about malware and stuff? I don't have a computer brain, but— D: Fair, but I'm at the end of things I can reach on my own. There's a lot more I need to just aim my whole brain at. You know? R: [Shakes head.] Not really R: I should probably go to bed. Gonna drag you with me, you know. D: One dive? I'm not tired yet. It won't be long. R: You need sleep. D: It's just a test dive. I know I shouldn't go too deep. R: [Grumble grumble.] Fine. I'm yanking you out if I need to, though. D: Of course! [Presents the necessary cables.] Jack me in, babe? D: You're gonna need to stay awake, sorry. Safety. R: [Shakes her head vigorously, like a dog getting out the rain.] I'll live. [Rat jacks Darcy in.] R: I can't keep taking care of you, you know. R: You know I can't even take care of myself. R: Darcy? D: Preparing to restart… [Hxr eyes go static.] R: Fuck. [Rat buries her head in her hands in exasperation.]

[Darcy's consciousness flits about the network, rifling through digital file cabinets and peering inside recycling bins.]

. .. … D: [Gasp] D: I'm b- Rat? [Rat is sprawled over Darcy, hugging hxr like a stuffed animal. Tightly. It's asleep.] D: …

>>>>

{Another day.}

D: Be right back. [Four of Darcy's hands rest on the desk. Hxr other two hands jack hxr in. Hxr eyes go static.] [Rat sits on the floor, her arms wrapped around her legs and her head buried in her knees.]

[Time passes.] [It's quiet, save the buzz of computers and lights.]

[Rat looks up.] R: You comin' back any time soon…? [Rat stands up.] R: Darcy…? R: How far down in there… R: Darcy? [The buzz is quieter from Darcy than usual. Shx's still jacked in, but hxr body is colder.] [It looks like hxr eyes are fully dark.] R: Darcy? [Upon closer inspection, there is static. It's faint.] R: Darcy. R: You there? [Rat wraps its arms around hxr.] [Darcy's breathing is barely detectable.] R: Darcy. R: Gxrl. R: You done? R: Darcy? [Rat shakes hxr lightly. Darcy does not react.] R: Aren't you usually done by now? [Rat kisses hxr cheek.] R: Come baaaaack. R: Darcy. R: Hello? [Rat shakes hxr a little more vigorously.] R: Stop playing with me, gxrl. [Rat kisses hxr on the mouth.] [Darcy is unresponsive.] R: I know you're in there. R: Or in the computer, or whatever. R: Can you hear me? R: Can you hear me?! R: Darcy! R: Come back!! [Rat hugs Darcy tighter. It strokes hxr hair over and over.] R: Come back, bring my gxrlfriend back. R: Bring my gxrlfriend back!! [The tears won't stop.] R: Come back! I know you're there! [Rat's voice echoes through the empty warehouse. She's the only one who hears it.] [She breaks down.]

[Time passes.] [There's a buzz and a shower of sparks. The main jack ejects itself.] [There's static.] D: [static] D: ##. D: # .. r D: … rra D: ##t? D: i [Rat is still clinging to Darcy. Its nails are digging into hxr skin.] [One hand brushes Rat's hair to the side.] D: you D: oh [She's asleep.] D: t D: tea D: rs D: im D: # s###o D: rr#y

[neonlitlesbians]

for the oc ask game: i am curious about #39 and #40 for darcy! (and if you feel like doing more, those same two questions for ethlyn and alana as well :D )

took me a while to figure out answers for darcy specifically. had a lot of fun Imagining

39. What's the happiest they've ever felt?

Darcy: The first full night of sleep shx had with Rat, after hxr life-changing dive that almost completely destroyed hxr. ("Dive" as in like, jacking your brain into the computer and personally interacting with the code. Resulted in cosmic internet horror for hxr, basically—I'm going to write more about it soon, especially because my girlfriend just asked about that. :3)

Ethlyn: Her first kiss with Bell, years ago. It was a massive gesture of trust, and she was incredibly guarded up until that point because uhhh, her childhood sucked. Like, "beaten to a pulp and scarred for life" sucked. Bell was the first person she felt fully safe around.

Alana: Any time she's spending quality time with a friend, just in general. She gets lonely easily, so reminding herself that her friends are around is big for her. Climbing on the rooftop to show Zinnia the moon is the happiest moment I've imagined for her, so far.

40. What's the most anxious they've ever felt?

Darcy: Any dive, nowadays. Darcy's lust for information has led hxr to some scary places before, so shx's afraid to do it now because shx doesn't want to lose hxrself as far as shx once did.

Ethlyn: Bringing Alana back to life. This was the most time-sensitive experiment she'd ever done, she wasn't confident in the effectiveness of her cybernetics yet, and she felt like if she couldn't save her only non-Bell friend, she'd be a worthless scientist who only knew stuff in theory and couldn't actually apply her knowledge. (And her friend would be dead by suicide. That, takes, er, a bit of a toll on a person.)

Alana: Right before her final fight with her old master. She wanted to be free of her abusive guardian, once and for all, and break the cycle of being "worse" than him. Beating him in a duel meant he was gone forever, and she could fully start a new life.

Oh, I haven't written much about this, have I! She was raised in a dojo by the previous Watcher, an old sword grandpa-type guy who sucked major ass as a parent. (Think, like, Bro Strider from Homestuck, I guess? He's not super fleshed out yet.) She lost her arm and then her legs in her two previous duels with him, and on her third try she beat him, killed him, and then attempted to kill herself. More accurately, she did, and Bell's timely rescue and Ethlyn's intervention "resurrected" her with a new heart and second circulatory system.
