Hello! I am Johnny Five!

namelesspartner:

johnnyfivealive replied to your post: J-Jayne? I am most sorry to d-disturb you. But, I must go back to Montana. Newton Crosby, my creator, has disassembled and I am needed there.

Th-thank you. I am most sorry to leave when you are in need of aid. Please do not forget to take care of yourself.

I’ll try not to. You be safe.

You too, I will return when I am able. I am also leaving my bank card with Wolf Hanna to ease his eating expenses. Take care.

Disassembly.

Johnny was going around the house, cleaning and doing laundry, doing as best he could to help Jayne. He paused as he heard his phone go off in his head.

“Stephanie! I am most happy to hear from you!”

“J-Johnny… You… You need to come home.”

“Stephanie? What is wrong, incorrect, not right?”

“N-Newton…”

“What about Newton?”

“Johnny, he died…”

“Newton? Newton disassembled?! How?! When?! Why?!”

“He had a heart attack in his sleep. Please come home, Johnny. We’ll wait on you for the funeral…”

“I… I will be home tomorrow. I am most sorry, Stephanie…”

Johnny hung up the phone and cried. His… His creator had died. Newton had been his friend for a long time and now he was gone.

He had to tell Jayne he was leaving and would be back at some point…

“I thoroughly believe you are feeling numb from the shock. As a werewolf, were your emotions not stronger? Harder to ignore? If so, then your entire being must re-adjust to feeling human again in all aspects. Just like Falk is not immediately all better from being a zombie, you are not all better from being a werewolf. You will cry when you are ready, up for it, able to handle it. And… waiting to talk to Hanna might be best.” The robot made himself smaller, about Hanna’s height, and placed a metal hand on the hunter’s shoulder. “You need to adjust again. That is all. I know that seems… odd, weird, strange. But that is fact.”

“All right… I’m…I’m going to go back inside and make myself something to eat. I only had a couple spoonfuls of cereal. It’s probably not a good idea to go starving myself.”

“That is most wise, smart, intelligent. I am going to go do laundry. I hope you feel better soon.”

do you ever look back at your relationship with someone on the internet and just think oh my god i’m so fucking glad i clicked follow they make my life so much better

“I-I know, Johnny. Trust me, I know what it’s like to force yourself to stop feeling. That’s just it. I…I don’t like this. Being numb. A few months ago, that was my life. I was fine with that. But now…feeling like this—feeling nothing. This worries me. I don’t want to stay like this, but I can’t make myself feel much of anything. I can’t force it like I can force apathy. I…I think I want to cry. It seems like that would relieve some of this pressure. But I can’t bring myself to be upset enough for it. I can’t be much of anything right now, and it feels wrong, but I can’t change it.” The hunter took a shuddering breath. “I’m supposed to wait until I’m better to talk to Hanna. But I don’t know when that’ll be. How long this might last. If it’ll just fade on its own or if there’s something I need to do.”

“I thoroughly believe you are feeling numb from the shock. As a werewolf, were your emotions not stronger? Harder to ignore?

The hunter stared. That…made an awful lot of sense. Well, the heartache part confused him. It wasn’t like Hanna had left him. And he still cared about Hanna. Right? Even if he couldn’t seem to really feel, it made no sense to simply stop caring about Hanna. He knew he’d definitely felt something when he was told Hanna had been crying. Why should his heart hurt like this?

“It…it’s not just going to go away, is it?”

“That is most dependent on if you want it to go away. With time, eventually yes. It will. But, if I am not mistaken, and forgive me, my audio sensors pick much up, you like Wolf Hanna as well? The hurt goes away when you stop caring. But it is most unpleasant to convince yourself to not care about someone simply because you do not wish to feel. Not all feelings are good. But if you feel nothing, you do not experience the good ones. And the good ones are what make life worth living. Johnny Five is most grateful to feel, even if it sometimes hurts.”

johnnyfivealive replied to your post: [When you return to the shed, Johnny is in there cleaning the mess from your transformation and the bedding has been changed. There are also some new clothes, bought for your size sitting at the foot of the bed.] Oh, hello New Jayne. I hope you do not mind, but I thought you might need things for the next few days. I do not know how long you are to be staying or if you would have a chance to go home. Are you well, good, okay?

Do you wish to speak of what is wrong, incorrect, not right? I will even delete the memory of it afterwords if necessary.

“You don’t have to do that.” The hunter fell silent for a long minute. He tried to speak, then sighed, and sat down on the bed heavily, again falling into silence. Eventually, he found enough motivation to try and explain himself.

“I feel…empty. Hanna’s been upstairs crying. In pain. I’m worried, but I can’t seem to feel upset. I know I should be. But I feel…numb. To everything. It’s hard to focus, it’s hard to care, I don’t want to eat, and there’s…there’s this pressure in my chest that won’t go away…”

“It sounds to me like you are experiencing shock and heartache all at once. And not only that, but I recall Hanna mentioning that with his lycanthropy emotions are more clear, sharp, vibrant and harder to ignore. Without it, you no longer feel what you felt as clearly. That is what it seems to me from the input I have gotten, received, been given.”

“Tell me what needs doing and who you are worried about. My sensors will have recorded what they are or were doing and I can help care for things.”

Johnny was going to be a little stubborn. Jayne was his friend and needed to share the burden with those around him rather than bottle it up.

“No no- you have other priorities.” he babbled. Johnny had the homeless shelter and something else he probably forgot. He shook his head as he kept pacing, read the message from the werewolf, and paced even more. “…Where’s Falk.”
 

“I have them during the day, yes. But it is evening now. And Falk… He and Cross are hard to pick up on my sensors, but I can tell you that he is safely on the property. If you are worried, you should go to him. I will go clean in the kitchen and cook. You find your partner and try to relax. If you are concerned about the others… The girl left for another job and Link is resting in his room.”

“No no I think everything’s already clean—” he interjected, patting himself down, realizing he hadn’t lost his phone in the thirty seconds since he read the text, and continued pacing. Falk and Cross cleaned, Jayne had cooked—

…And then his brain had reminded him he hadn’t eaten since Falk died. Too stressed. And he just kept on stressing himself.  

“Do you want me to make something for people to eat if they get hungry? I can make a casserole for You, Link, the Teen and Wolf Hanna.”

The robot quickly caught on that Jayne had a headache. He wheeled into another room and came back with a blindfold. He tapped the man gently on the shoulder and handed him the item.

“I got input on how to help get rid of headaches. The input said darkness helps. Please, do not hesitate to ask me for help. I am home more often now.”

“…I can’t- I have things to do.” How silly of him, he shouldn’t even be lying down, he should be looking for Falk and Cross, checking on the harpy after he finally got him to eat a potato salad sandwich. He should be worrying about where the werewolf was, where Link had gone, where the damnable girl punk had wandered off to again.

The stress was written all over him, gripping him tight and making him unsure of what to do. He got up to slide past Johnny—

But he only ended up pacing the living room.  

“Tell me what needs doing and who you are worried about. My sensors will have recorded what they are or were doing and I can help care for things.”
