    Summary

    Robert catches his reflection in the broken windshield of a nearby car as he leans his head against the new armour plating on BLUE's arm, aware of the blood from the surface headwound on his temple dirtying it. Cringing at the headache that's still thumping to his cardiac rhythm that has just been exacerbated by an injury hitting cold hard metal, he tries to take stock. He looks half feral, blood running down his temple, his nose and mixed into the general spittle on his teeth mixed in with all the grime and bruises he's been collecting for the past... eighteen or so hours. He thinks his work shirt might also be a bit ripped up, which is really unfortunate since Robert only has two of them and given the Red Ring just tried to burn Torrance down he doesn't think the laundromat down the street is going to be open in the near future.

    "So... this is Blue?"

    Summary

    Robert isn’t ashamed to be an Omega. He’s not some old fashioned freak. That being said, now that he’s taking proper care of himself, his once dulled instincts are flaring up with a vengeance like no other.

    Summary

    Because Robert said he wanted to grow closer with the z-team, Chase has decided to bring cartridges with embarrassing videos from Robert's past. At least, they're supposed to be embarrassing, but the z-team has a bad habit of picking the traumatic ones.
    -
    Dispatch (roughly after the events of episodes 3 and 4 but if THAT didn't happen)
    Trigger Warning: Blood, poison, child endangerment, implied neglectful parent, mentioned chronic pain

    Summary

    In which we explore some of the off-screen time between game scenes. Team bonding, dispatching, character studies, and various donuts eaten while on the job. Focus is mostly platonic and team-dynamics because I really really want more screen time with the other members of Z-Team... but I am also an action and angst writer, so buckle up. Not ACTUALLY writing a non-romantic Robert so much as Robert who is too fucking exhausted to do anything about, like, dating in Season 1? Something like that. The one-sided crushes go fucking HARD tho.
