AI story title: Glitches and Drones

But Rylan? He *still* didn't get it. "Oh come on, you know I love a good roast. But look at you! You're all *angry puppy dog* about it!" he said with a grin that was all teeth and no apology.

Xee froze for a moment, glaring at him as the implication of his words sank in. "Did you just—Did you just call me a puppy dog?!"

"*GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING PIECES OF SHIT! LOOK AT THIS SHIT! IT'S FUCKING—*"
"*WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, HUH?! WHY ISN'T THE SKY BLUE TODAY?! ARE YOU ALL FUCKING KIDDING ME?!*"

He slowly walked over to her, observing the chaos unfolding. "Xee, uh... are you, uh, okay?" he asked carefully, unsure if approaching her directly was the smartest move.

She snapped her head toward him with a sharp, gleaming grin, her pupils darting around like she was processing a million different things at once. "*I'M FUCKING AMAZING, RYLAN! THE FROG GOD SPEAKS TO ME NOW! I'M THE FROG GOD, AND YOU'RE ALL GONNA BOW DOWN BEFORE ME, BITCHES!*" She threw her arms up in the air like she had just won an Olympic gold medal for insanity.

Rylan blinked twice, processing this new level of madness. "Right... Frog God. Uh-huh... I see. Have you, by any chance, inhaled ten pounds of caffeine today?"

Xee's smile twitched like she might start laughing at the sheer absurdity of the suggestion. "*TEN POUNDS?* PLEASE. I'VE INHALED THE WHOLE GODDAMN COFFEE SHOP AND THEN SOME. I AM THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF HOPPED-UP MADNESS, RYLAN! FEAR MY FROGGY WRATH!"

What the fuck...?" she muttered, standing up abruptly. "I hear it. The *frog*. It's here. It's really here. THE FROG GOD HAS COME TO ME."

Rylan barely had time to register what she meant before Xee shot off toward the window with a speed that made him flinch.

Outside, near the base of the window, a small, green frog hopped along the ground, blissfully unaware of the havoc about to unfold. Xee's eyes went wide, the Solver eye lighting up with unnatural intensity.

"Oh, you sweet little croaky bastard," she whispered under her breath as if the frog was her long-lost lover. "You're mine now. And anyone who dares to touch you will suffer my unholy wrath."
