Fandoms: Dispatch (Video Game)

Summary
In the glorious, halcyon days of After Shroud - once the city is no longer a smoking wreck and the rubble has been more or less cleaned up - the corporate overlords of SDN do as they all inevitably must and hatch some bullshit plot to “shake things up.”
Namely, granting the Torrance branch’s newest dispatcher a fancier title that does nothing to reduce his workload, support his team or do anything of use at all.
After the “mandatory team discussion” turned bonding bitch-fest at Robert’s apartment, Courtney sticks around.
They talk about it. And other things.
And then they don’t do much talking at all.

Summary
It’s a sticky, sweaty, straight-from-Satan’s-asshole Wednesday morning in the middle of a heatwave when the worst idea the SDN powers-that-be have ever dreamed up crosses Robert’s desk.
(mandatory team bonding ballet lessons, featuring robert being a mess, coupé being intense, and something like a friendship coming out of it anyway)

Summary
The first time it happens is … unintentional. A charged slip of the tongue.
Honest.
(banks is snappish under pressure. jen has a weakness for being bossed around.
they don't acknowledge it, until they do.)

“Is Banks hot? She can’t actually be hot, right?”
To his credit, Zan doesn’t laugh. Right away, at least.
(jen is having a crisis. zan does his best to help.)

Summary
V’s run with smugglers since she was a kid. She knows the weird shit that people pick up on the road. Hell, her first job was ferrying a live (and very angry) chicken out to Ma and Mama Rose on the edge of the Bakkers territory.
She’s been there, done that, got the t-shirt and the sunburn and the awful, pinchy chicken-bites.
She doesn’t have the first idea what to say to this.
After a solid minute of silence, the only thing she can manage is “Cassidy stole a horse.”
(v saddles up and is a hopeless pining lesbian, more at 11)

Summary
“Okay. Um. My parents are expecting me back home for Christmas.”
“… that’s it?” Courtney asks, scoffing. “Okay, so? We won’t break anything while you’re gone if that’s what you’re worried about.”
“That’s not—” Mandy starts, before she sighs. “They want to meet you. Both of you.”Mandy brings Robert and Courtney home for Christmas for the first time to meet her parents. And her siblings. And their kids. Somehow it's even more chaotic than a day at the SDN office with the Z-team which is, you know, saying something.
Established relationship, alternating POV.

Summary
In which Invisigal is handling this soooo normally. She’s not spiraling at all about Mecha Man joining SDN as her goddamn dispatcher. The way she’s thinking about the guy she nearly exploded to death is normal. So normal. She can be normal helping the guy out with something as simple as a headache. AKA: Vizi battles her demons while Robert has a migraine after hours. It’s so normal.

Summary
another explosion comes and goes and, as usual, refuses to take robert with it. with the fate of the suit uncertain, he’s forced to confront the truth he’s been avoiding: the suit might never give him the ending he’d spent half his life expecting. which leaves him with the one outcome he’s utterly unprepared for—being alive in a room full of people who actually give a shit.
(aka, everyone was way too chill about robert almost exploding in the lab, including robert.)
