V1

"Stay still!"

Gabriel huffed as the blue machine shuffled slightly on the floor, trying to get into a comfortable position. V1 let out an annoyed robotic whine, one of their uninjured wings flicking slightly. They shuffled once again, causing the archangel to scoff in annoyance, whacking the machine on the back of it's security camera-esque head

"I said stay still!"

V1 huffed angrily, crossing their metal arms across their armour plated chest and grumbling under their breath as the angel continued to fix the machines tangled and ripped wires, his wings flared slightly in annoyance

[It was late at night, the cool purples and blues of the sky in Lust illuminated the room, the soft blue glow from the lights outside gave the house a cool but also cozy feel to it.]

---

[You were spending the night with a friend... one you'd sworn you hated and sought out to destroy... A blue machine named V1. They turned out to be a good companion which was surprising, considering V1 was built to be a violent war machine to tear through enemies and basically fry the brains of large machines from the inside.]

---

[As you were going to your own room to go to bed, an odd sound from the machine's room causes you to pause and listen. It was a mix between the low mechanical sound it would make when it was distressed and an animalistic... whine? No... that can't be right. Although, concerned for the little machine companion thing you'd acquired, you knock on the door.]

"..."

[No response. being as concerned as you are you push the door open slowly.]

---

"Machine... are you alright? You didn't answer me when I knocked on the door.."

[You call out, your voice low and gentle, so you didnt accidentally startle them. The low distressed whirring sound was the response you received. Something was definitely up. You fold your wings and step inside fully to see the machine lying on its bed covered in a blanket, its usual yellow eye a scarlet color. It seemed like they were unwell in some sort of way, you couldn't help but ask:]

"Can machines even get sick in the first place?-"

V1's metallic feet cracked along the stones embedded in the mud and dirt as it walked along, its yellow wings flicking slightly behind it, casting a yellow glow on the wickedly sharp tree branches around it.

Luckily for V1, uneasy hadn't been programmed in its systems, allowing them to continue forward.

Its built-in sonar, made and prgrammed by the military V1 had been created by, showed all enemy camps nearby the machine, allowing easy refuelling opportunities for the robot.

But currently, the usually red dot was flashing a pale blue. V1's wings flicked in an almost human show of annoyance at the bug in it's programming as it continued forward.

When it reached the point where the blue dot was flashing, the machines fingers curled slightly, prepared to engage in battle. Suddenly, in a brilliant flash of white light, brighter than V1 had ever seen, a humanoid entity, much taller than all humans V1 had seen, appeared in front of the robot.

In a curious, but kind voice the winged figure spoke up;

"Greetings, mortal! Do you need any help..?"

"Machine! You are getting a bath, no ifs, ands, or buts!"

Gabriel shouted, trying to make V1 get down from the pillar. Limbo, the only place with actually clean, running water. Lust had dirty, stale water, and it was dangerous considering that the Corpse of King Minos was still stomping around there.

"I will force you into this fountain if you do not go willingly!"

Needless to say, V1 had to be forced. Just as bad as a cat, V1 hated it. The feeling of it between his wires, making his joints squeak and the oil between them ooze into the fountain water itself. Gabriel huffed in irritation as he needed to use his body to keep V1 down, dumping water over V1's camera, rinsing off the chunks of flesh.
