“Awhhh, thank you!”

Bridget immediately obliged with a high five, grinning ear to ear. “Heck yeah!”

“…you know what, it’s fine, I’m used to it."

“Yeahhhhh, vaguely heard about it through the grapevine. Oh, and, how’s Trigger?”

“Hi Tronnnnn! Been doing alright? Everyone doing well? How are things with you and X?”

“Suppose this is the part where I poke my head out and bid everyone hello, yeah?”

“AAA- oh, wait a second- Faroosh! Hiya, buddy!"
Bridget giggled softly as she gently pats him on the head.

“Cassidy! Hiiii!”

The bounty hunter picked Cassidy up and hugged her close, before quickly placing her down.

“That’s great to hear! What about Sue?”

“Heyyyy, I’m back to check up on everyone! How’s it hanging?”

“Awhhh, you shouldn’t have!”

Bridget took the gifts, smiling widely. Rodger tapped Tron’s foot, holding up an all-in-one tool box with a neat bow around it.

“I thought some new tools and such would help you out! Top of the line stuff!”

“EEP! Ah- TRON! Don’t spook me like that…!”

Bridget swats at the tinkerer with a feigned annoyance, though the smile on her face makes her enjoyment of her presence clear.

“Merry Christmas to you too..!”

Bridget blushed ever so slightly at the cheek to cheek contact, a tiny squeak leaving her lips in reaction to the unexpected gesture. “A-o-oh! T…thanks!”

"Thank you! I promise, promise, PROMISE that you won't drain my money. Besides, it's been collecting dust for AGGGESSSSS!"

//he's so bebe...//

"Tron, you have been nothing short of amazing to me ever since I joined. This is my way of saying thanks, ok?"

"Psh, its no biggie. Besides, even if you somehow make me go broke, I can get it all back in like, a month or two. Trust me."

...she is not taking no as an answer...

"I actually haven't seen him in a hot minute- what, am I not allowed to be nice to ya?"

"Wellllll, I got plenty of funds stored away! Bounty work pays really well, after all. I'd be happy to cover whatever you decide to buy! My way of saying thanks for being a good pal, hehe..."

//woaw, thats me...//

"What if you get the servbots to help out with shopping...?"

"Mhm! I think this is the first time we've actually spoken, but I just wanna say you're doing great! Hope this birthday is a good one for you!"

"Psssst! Pst! Happy birthday, @helperrobot.bsky.social!"

"Awh, thanks! You're pretty gosh darn adorable too!"

Bridget smiled at her, taking her hand and shaking it with both hands.

"Hiii! I'm Bridget!"

[NC] “YEAHH!!!”

"BRING IT DOWN they said COUNTLESS TIMES. Can we stop the fire that is my core strength and pride? Pound the ground! Change what doesn't change! Doubt not your steel! Carpe diem! Let that be your guide!"

[NC] “who needs rules? Sometimes you gotta add a little extra bloodshed with your beatings!”

[NC] “Something along the lines that they are not allowed to bring harm to a living being? I think? There’s 3 rules, at least. I dunno, robotics isn’t my field.”

I want a sandwich.
