Hum interesting. Cyber fairies that appear to be able to merge with Reploid hosts to enhance their abilities.
Ya, so what.
I wasn't talking to you I was thinking to myself.
Then think quieter would you, I'm not in the mood.
Yes...you're never in the mood to think are you?
Air Raid shot Fallout a smirk as the other returned with a glare. All the while their cybernetic communications link made their conversation undetectable.
Sea Strike are you here as well?
Ya, bro. Just takin' a dip in the pool. Want somethin'?
Yes, have the Medical units transmit their scan data to the R and D devision. Especially the one that scanned that Maya girl. See what we can find out about her abilities and those of the cyber fairies. If they find anything useful, perhaps we could convince the girl to allow further scans. Even if we can't, we can still use that data to attempt to duplicate their abilities.
K, bro. I just have ten more laps to go. I should be done in about two minutes and I'll be right on it.
Thank you.
"Well now," Air Raid said to the group. "As much as I'd like to stay, I'm afraid I have matters if estate that need my attention. Once you are done giving your statements you are free to go where you wish so long as they do not have any reason to keep you. If you need accommodations please speak to Neko and she'll set you up."
"Oh an done more quick thing," Air Raid turned toward Suroken. "Our scanners detected the FX parts you apparently scavenged during the battle. I'm afraid we can't allow you to keep them and must ask you to take them to the maintenance department before you leave. Don't worry, they've been told to give you a finders fee for the return of these missing parts. Now then, fair well to all of you then."
With that, Air Raid crossed his left arm and wing over his chest bowing graciously. A moment later Fallout clomped out behind stopping only to look at Akiko and snap his mandibles once, an indication of how many bites it would take to eat her, before leaving the room as well.
As they left another walked in, Blaze. With his armor gone, he now sported a much more mundane look wearing simple blue jeans, a read shirt and an unzipped black jacket.
"Sup guys," Blaze said smirking, apparently his trip to Brazil was still on his mind. "Heard you all made it. Glad to see it was true." He turned toward Max. "Thanks again...Um...Mace was it? I gatta say you really saved my...Hello local hotty." Blaze turned on his walking path making a B line for Winter not even realizing he had cut himself off mid sentence.
"Ello there," Blaze said taking Winter's hand and giving it a quick kiss. "Names Blaze and you are....Hello local hotty two."
Forgetting about Winter, Blaze repeated his previous performance, this time on the cat girl receptionist standing near the group.

Winter just looks at Blaze with an eyebrow arched, blinking in surprise as her hand's taken and kissed. For a moment, she just watches, almost shocked at his... man, it felt like degradation!
She just folds her arms from there, her cheeks turning a tint of red, a scowl on her face as Blaze wanders off to the next girl. She huffs. "The business. Get on with it."

OOC: Sorry to Rae but I wanted to edit this before re-posting it. Everybody, mine came first, hence what Rae is working off of. He had orginally posted a response to what Max had said, combined with a reaction to Blaze.
Everyone in the room would see Max's right eye twitch upon seeing Blaze say "hello" to Winter, and again when he reapeats with Neko. Placing Akiko on Maya's shoulder, the human would walk up to Blaze...
and smack him on the back of his head, making an echo in the confined room.
"WE JUST NEARLY GOT BLOWN THE HELL UP AND YOU'RE HITTING ON THE TWO WOMEN IN THE ROOM? GOOD GODS MAN, HAVE SOME PRIORITIES!"
Max didn't even mind Blaze forgetting his name, it was his...."manners" that irked him.
"I'm not saying you shouldn't be polite but jesus man, i'm still having survivor's guilt over here! I can wait a few days before I become a typical guy, give it a shot! And not as important, it's actually Max. And forget it, it's not important now."
Shaking his head, Max would walk back over and place Akiko back on his shoulder, again to keep an eye on her.
"Ok, so we're all here now. Miss Neko? Who goes first?"
"Um you can go if you want. Down the hall, two doors to the left."
"Right-O. Be back later gang."
And once again transferring his little friend, Max would head out, and enter the room advertised, sitting down, to two reploids in official looking attire, one male, one female....
Or good cop, bad cop...now to figure who's who...
"Welcome."
"Thanks. So shall we begin?"
"Of course. Your name?"
"Max."
"Have a last name to go with it, "Max"?"
"...I was in the foster system for a long while so yes, several. As for the original one, I don't know my birth parents, they died when I was just days old, or so I hear."
To this, both reploids would glance at one another before the woman would continue, clearly taken aback a little.
"Our aplogies. We didn't..."
Max would wave her away.
"Forget it, things like this happen every day. Least I don't have the pain of knowing them and THEN losing them right? Um...let's use Brighton as my last. Maxwell Brighton."
Both nod and as the female takes the notes down, the male would continue.
"Alright then. So then Max, what exactly happened out there today?"
"Um...that's kinda broad sir. If you mean how was I involved, then kindly ask that."
Again both reploids would eye one another.
"I'm not trying to be rude, but the faster this gets done, the faster we can all focus on the true issue."
"And what would that be, exactly?"
"Stopping the party responsible for this. Making them pay...."
*sigh*
"Well to tell you my part in this, I was walking home from my job at the salvage yard nearby, I watch the place and keep an eye on inventories for everything, y'know. Well anyway i'm headed for the underground when I suddenly hear buster fire. Investigating it, I see Blaze being tailed by a small unit, shooting at him. I wait until that..."Chaser" model FX tries to finish him off and I leapt in....literally, and removed it's head, thinking I had downed it. I then headed off, took out one joe and blinded two others, waiting for the rest to show..."
"How many in this unit?"
"Um...by my count six Joes, three humaniod reps, one anthro, and the Chaser."
"Ah, yes Spara of the Arc Angels, if i'm reading this right."
"I didn't know that at the time, I just saw a big dude with a fetish for anicent armor. Anyway, the Chaser was still active and proceeded to attack me, and try to do me in. I held it off until the three humanoids came into the alley we were in, blinded from a trick another...um...I guess ally of mine had done. I turned to run when I found both this ally, the salvager and a young looking girl hiding in a building. I turned back around and ran back at the group, attempting to act as a distraction to let them get away..."
The male would smirk.
"How kind of you. As a matter of fact, how kind of you to "help" without even knowing the full situation."
Max would rub his temples, but would be smiling.
"I was raised, that if someone looked like they needed help, and you could provide it, then you did so and found out the details later. It was reckless, I will admit. But had I not, Blaze might not be here now. I may regret what happened to London, but as to helping him...that's one thing I won't regret."
The male would nod, as the female continues the interview.
"Go on please."
"Right. Well anyway the girl comes out and shoots off two rounds from these kickass guns she had...sorry. It was cool though you should have seen her go. She aimed high to not hit me but one hit one of the humanoids in the face and melted it off."
Both would stare at Max with suprised expressions as the human grins and shrugs.
"Like I said, you should have seen the little princess go. The other two attempted to shoot her but I took them down and as the FX got back up, knocked it into a building with Smash..."
"Who? Was there someone else with you?"
"Oh right sorry, forgot. Smash is this guy right here..."
And Max would thumb back to his wrench.
"...You named your weapon?"
"Gives it more of a partner vibe then just a implement of violence. Anyway we went another round until the hunter showed up and "Cheapy McCheap booted me through a glass window and escaped. Afterward I took down one more joe, and then tired to make peace with the giant spartan but he felt like setting off the first round of explosions and in general, acting like a massive tool. I fought with "Spara" to a stalemate along with my allies at this point and was going to use my finisher until..."
The human would tense up, and his eyes would narrow as he was silent for a few moments, before speaking again.
"I saw "Sierra" messing with the girl's mind. I right off tried to stop her, but she had a foothold already and tricked the kid into attacking me. I got her settled and tried to finish off the witch but she has some kind of barrier..."
"Ah yes. Totally foolproof from reports."
"Knowledge I could have used minutes ago. Anyway she kept up her little game, even as this other guy, the salvager tried to help...then the kid called her Momma...."
Both would see the human's hands ball into fists...and begin shaking.
"I lost it. I started attacking her in a rage, using something she had said...that she had a daughter, against her. I must have made her snap further because she pulled out the detonator for the explosives and was grinning like she had looked into the abyss and seen what was inside as she set the seondary ones off..."
Max would eye both reploids with a guilty expression.
"I am also to blame in this mess. Perhaps if I had done things differently, that last wave might not had gone off. The others had no part in this, if any punishment needs to be given, i'll gladly take it."
"Um...we'll make a note of that. Anything else?"
"No sir, that's it."
"Then you're free to return to the room with your companions. Thank you for cooperating Max."
Nodding Max leaves, and returns to the meeting room, still wearing his guilty expression as he thumbs out the door.
"...Next."

Within Winter, within Ashni, there was an intense feeling of elation at Maya's presence, followed by one of mutual aversion towards Mr. Hot Rod's advances. Speaking to Winter in clear fashion, she apologized on Maya's behalf, albeit in a roundabout manner. She, Maya, cares for us greatly. Terra's loss hurt her, and the loss of her mentor, her 'father', broke her. Her life has not been easy, and the five of us that remain are all she has left. Please, forgive her, forgive me, and forgive us. Though it is quite fortunate she made it out okay... I had truly expected the skies of Berlin would be the last sight I would see... Thank you, thank you again. Ashni spoke to her in final farewell, with a hint of sadness.
Ashni severed the bond with Winter, appearing once again in physical form immediately nearby. Her wings flickered at first, and then sparked to life, reaching their full and impressive size. Despite her fatigue, she put on a final show of fortitude. "Really!?" Ashni addressed Maya scathingly, her arms crossed atop her mostly exposed bosom in a show of disappointment. "I came halfway across the world to come find you, and this is the kind of face you make?" Her tone lessened in severity. "Just hurry up already, and then apologize to this person!" Before her remaining strength gave out, she perched herself upon Maya's hand. Ashni then disappeared from both sight and physical existence with a smile towards Winter; looking forward to a much required slumber.
Maya's head sunk in embarrassment at the scolding, and her over-reaction. She turned, paused briefly, and then started to skulk off. A few steps later she stopped again, and muttered a quiet apology. "...Sorry" She sat upon the cold floor, her back to the rest. Everything that was wrong had been set right, and she had made it through another day, somehow.
Free to address her own concerns, Maya examined a tattered hole in her clothing. A return shot from one of the reploids that had found its mark. Then she spotted another. She would need new clothing before the holes spread any further.
Akiko stuck her tongue out at the departing Fallout, giving him the finger with all her tiny might. "I taste great, you don't even know what you're missing!" She shouted out as he departed. Then, like a switch had just flipped in her mind, she was right on top of Blaze, like a fly on sh*t. She sniffed him from behind, eliciting a faint alarm as he was otherwise preoccupied with other matters. "Hey there, you smell niiice. Wanna do it?" She was speaking of course, of something much different than the reploid sporting the crimson shirt, and sleek duds had on his mind at the moment.

Post by Sokuren on May 26, 2010 0:50:25 GMT -6
Seeing Max return from the interrogation, Sokuren quietly volunteers to go next, heading to the room and sitting down.
"Welcome, name please?
"Sokuren"
"And the surname?
".. I don't have one"
The Reploids look at each other, and make a note.
"Right, can you tell us what happened to you?"
Sokuren stay silent for a while, closing his eyes before starting to speak.
"Well, I was on the way back from the salvage yard outside the city, when I heard gunfire. I waited for a while, and the fight seemed to have moved away from me, so I went to check it out.
"And you saw?"
"There were a few Joes, damaged beyond repair and deactivated lying around, and I didn't see or detect any signs that said salvage was off limits, so I started disassembling one of the Joes."
"While you were doing so, did you see any insignia or badges, or anything like that?"
"Umm, there was something like that" Sokuren sketches out a rough copy of the Arc Angel insignia.
"Anyway, I was salvaging the Joe when 3 reploids came up behind me, and by the talk i heard, they were going to... Kill me without giving me a chance to explain myself. I had the Joe's power core in my hand at the moment, and I overloaded it and threw it at the ground. I was hoping that it would just give a bright enough flash for me to get away.. but I guess it killed at least one of them....."
Sokuren fall silent again, and doesn't speak again until prompted by one of the interrogators
"And then?"
Jumping slightly at the sound of another voice, Sokuren starts talking again, his voice unsteady.
"Umm, after that I hid in a building, where I met Maya. After a few moments we decided that fighting was a better choice, and I borrowed a weapon from her.
"And why did you do that?" Interjects one of the two.
"Well, I'm only a civilian model, and I really don't have anything besides something for self defense. After we left our hiding spot, I... Took out 2 of the Joes, but the last one hit me, and that one was taken out by Max. Then the big guy, the one in the old style armor, started going after me, I think because of the first three, and I ran into a building, going out the alley the other side."
"You think he was focusing on you because you killed some of his men"
"ye.. Yes, I do. After going out the back of the building, I encountered the girl again, and tried to get her to escape with me, but she went back towards the fight.:
"And you followed her?
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Well, at that point she was one of the only people who hadn't tried to kill me on sight, and she seemed as if she could handle herself, so i thought i would be safest with her. We went back into the building, but she was further ahead of me, and I got attacked by the damaged, "Chaser"? I believe you people called it. At that point I kinda.. snapped, and deactivated it. Then I chose to rest for a bit, and when i got upstairs there was a woman with a, bug helmet i guess?"
Sokuren rubs his head, as if he is having trouble thinking.
"Sorry, it gets kinda, fuzzy after this. Anyway, I started experiencing this pain, and i think the woman was trying to control me, then Max came in the room and started fighting her, but then Maya started shooting at him. So i did the only thing i could think of, and got them both out of there. And after that, I don't remember anything until I woke up in that lab.
"You don't remember?"
"Yeah, I try to access the memory files, but they just aren't there. As if that time never happened."
"That will be all, you may leave now"
Sokuren walks back to the room in a daze, almost bumping into Maya on the way in. mumbling "Sorry.", he walks over to Neko, asking "Sorry, but can I go up to the roof? I... Need some air." Receiving an affirmation, he walks back out into the hallway, moving slowly towards the elevator.

Max would lean against a wall, lost in his own thoughts...until hearing Akiko...
"Heh. Ha ha. Hahaha....HAHAHAHA!"
That did it. He started laughing, and doing it hard, dropping first to a knee, then completely to the ground. This went on for a few minutes until he was able to get back to his feet, wiping tears out of his eyes.
"...Red, always keep that attitude ok?"
And with that, the human headed out the door, turning back to say that he'd be back shortly.
Now where to?
Walking about, he found a worker, who informed him of the location of the data ports. Heading over, he began typing, checking to see....
"Oh thank the gods, everything's here."
A triumph of modern convenience, was the advent of being capable to digitize, well in a word, everything. By doing nothing more then attaching a chip to most objects, you could store them on a server, either your own or pay for the use of another, in a kind of "Virtual Storage Unit". Max had his own, and had set everything in his little apartment to be sent off anytime any sort of disturbance was dectected....
"And that first round of blasts did the trick...."
Holding out a hand, the human caught a backpack, three hats, a black baseball cap, a white fedora and a tophat, colored a regal looking dark purple, all out of thin air. Along with the tophat came a little blade pendant, which the human donned, redigitizing the hat into it's chip form and placing it into the backpack along with the chip containing the cap. Eying the fedora, Max would dust it off, and fix it up a bit before donning it, now grinning.
"Gotta look my best after all."
Of course he had other reasons for donning the hat, but those would hopefully remain a secret...at least for now. Heading to a "commons" type area, the human would grab a soda and sit down, relaxing...
"I'd get Sokuren's stuff out too...but seeing their reaction with the FX parts, i'd better wait...wait...FX parts? That means that Sokuren...."
Took down the lizard before he could. Max would blink for a few moments before laughing again.
"The non-combatant delivers the kill. Awesome. Glad I could wear him down..."
Maya seemed a little down, lemme go check on her, now that's it's been a few minutes.
And heading back, Max would meet up with Sokuren, patting the reploid on the back.
"...I know having memory issues is both frustrating and worrying..."
The human would sigh and look down, trying to think up something reassuring.
"It's a cheap answer to tell you that it'll all work itself out. What I would say is that if you're really bothered, then do some digging, we may have been "born" differently but I can promise we both have paper trails somewhere..."
...Even though I can't seem to find mine...
"And if you need a hand, i'll be glad to help in anyway I can. Just give me a holler."
And nodding, Max would continue back to the meeting room, and kneel down near the girl, making sure to give her a degree of space still.
"Hey. Don't let it get you down, you have an issue of trust is all. Just work on it and things will be ok. The important thing is that you, and all your fairies are safe."
Eying the holes in Maya's clothing the human coughs.
"You want me to sew those for you? One trick I learned when I was little was how to fix my own clothing..."

Seeing Sokuren walk out, Winter let out an exhale, not looking to Blaze or anyone else as she walked on in. Best to give them the details. She walked in softly with the straight posture she always exercised when on the ground, taking a seat as offered.
"Good afternoon, miss," the lady reploid began. "Name?"
"Winter," the Hunter replied.
"'Winter', then, is that all to it?"
"Yes, it is."
Some notes jotted down. "Alright then. I noticed the insignia on your breastplate, are you affiliated with the Maverck Hunters?"
"Yes, I am, sir. B-class, 7th Air."
"Alright then, model number and registration ID?"
"RAE-021, AF6B-88273."
"Okay then," the guy replied as the lady wrote out some notes. "Want to tell me what you were doing in London, Miss Winter?"
Winter nodded. "I was notified of a possible situation within London and sent to assess and help quell the situation."
"Acting under assignment, then?"
"Yes, sir."
The lady looked to Winter. "What happened from there?"
"I arrived to hear of a fight breaking out near the river in the West End. I found a human, Max, being attacked by some reploid of sorts, so I chased the person for a bit until he was lost. Upon returning to check on Max, I wound up encountering a general of the Arc Angels."
"Spara?"
"Yes. He went on to issue an order to detonate a portion of London's underground in order to eliminate a reploid thought to have been Zero, but mistaken for him."
"Who was this reploid, do you know?"
"Not quite, the situation was pretty hectic."
"I see. Continue."
Winter nodded. "Considering his goals and ability, I received permission to retire and engaged Spara for a little bit until an explosion occurred further down. Spara managed to evacuate before I could finish him off and I wound up needing to fly away from the scene. I flew to Berlin from there and was assigned to meet with Brant Corp."
"Alright then. Any other details to note?"
"None, sir."
"...Alright then, Miss Winter, thank you, you're set."
With a nod, Winter stood up from there and walked out, looking around once she was done and letting out an exhale. Never was crazy about those... she mused.

"Ah." Maya pointed at Max through one of the holes in her garments. "You should hook up with Sokuren then, he fixes things too! The two of you could be 'S&M's Mend as You Go' repair shop." She clapped her hands together in a showy fashion. "Alright, you just got your first customer then. Just make sure to get them back to me before they let us out. It's a long walk back and I'm already tired, so the earlier I get started, the better."
Standing, she wiggled her arms back up through her sleeves, and plainly lifted the garment off over her head in a minimal manner, tossing it towards him. As his vision cleared, another garment nearly slapped him in the face, a rather plain top. Various other garments of assorted makes, models, and fashions rained down upon him, as if the tears of a thousand angels weeping for the task Max had just enlisted upon. The torrent of thinly layered attire slowed and eventually abated as she finally ran low on spares. "That ought to do it then. You get those all fixed up and I won't need any more clothes for awhile." She spoke. A soft smile curled upon her lips, far removed of Max's current field of view upon the hill and burrow of clothing.
Maya was left in only a simple shirt and accompanying vest, along with a pair of simply patterned bottoms that did not avail to reach her knees. It was as if an entire years worth of age had been lifted from her with the lessened burden, and then heaped upon Max instead. "Huh, it's a lot easier to move around now. Imagine that." She commented much to Max's further lament, as the burden upon him seemed to grow the more she spoke of it. She waved her arms freely upon the air, and then sat down again.
"Ahh." Maya smiled yet again as she laid her back upon the cold floor in immediate and apparent comfort. "Wonder if it's my turn yet?"

"It's your turn if you want it to be," Winter chimes with a chuckle, seeing the girl on the floor and walking along, her verniers just bobbing in her sway. She thumbs back to the room. "There's no order."

As Maya spoke of the new ease of movement, an unseen frown would be worn by the human.
I'd imagine so, removing 40 pounds of clothing...
"Alrighty, i'll have these done shortly..."
And standing, (a task that was easier spoken of than actually attempted...) Max would walk over to another corner, and set the pile down, opening his backpack and removing a chip, which when activated, summoned a portable sewing kit, with a large amount of spools of fabric...apparently this was not the human's first time doing this.
"Come to think of it, I need to resew this shirt, seeing as the lizard ripped it. I'll do that later."
And placing a specific set of thread back in chip form, He would begin to get to work, fixing the outer layers of clothing first, intending to work his way inward.
"I know fashion's kinda a "girl" thing but is there a practical reason you wear so much clothing, kiddo?"
Then suddenly it hit him as to what the child had said, most assuredly inadvertently.
S&M...Oh man I hope she just pulled THAT outta mid air.
Thinking about the subject caused the human to prick himself on his thumb, causing him to exclaim with a "Gah!" and begin rubbing his thumb along the palm of his hand while he continued working.
Something tells me, that this kid and the ladies travelling with her, will make me worry a LOT.
"So, while I work and while we wait to leave, what say we tell a little about ourselves? It'll kill some time and this way if we should happen to run into each other later, we'll be able to work a bit tighter. Who wants to start?"

Blaze stood quietly in front of the cat-like woman rubbing the back of his head.
"Jeez guys just tryin' to lighten the mood a little you don't have to..."
"Hey there, you smell niiice. Wanna do it?"
"....Um...." Blaze paused.
Wait did that actually work? Was that the hunter chick? She has a weird voice.
"Well if you in....si..st...." Blaze's voice trailed off as he turned and spotted the tiny fairy like creature floating before him. "Ummmmmm, I appreciate the offer...but I'm not...quite...sure...how that would work. Ya....I think I'll stand over there for a while."
Trotting over to the nearest wall, Blaze leaned against it quietly watching the scenes unfold. His silence was only broken when he burst out laughing as he watched his back of head attacker get heaped under a pile of laundry even bigger than the one he himself had waiting at home to wash.
"Well if ya wanna play 'life stories' I may as well start," Blaze said shrugging. "Don't really have much to do anyway. I've already been debriefed. Once here and once in Brazil." The last part he mumbled to himself with a trade mark smirk. "I'm just sticking around to see if there's any work up for grabs since I completed my previous assignment."
"Name's Blaze Fireheart. Ya I know kinda campy. I was born with it, so deal. Worked in construction for a while. Pretty good work while the economy was good. Helped design quite a few buildings including the HQ in Yoron and heck even bits and pieces of this here building."
"After the economy crashed, work went scarce and ended up some how becoming a merc for higher. Don't typically take the combat jobs though if I can help it. I prefer playing currier or doing recon, but I take what I can get."
He paused for a moment thinking about what Max had said about survivors guilt. He realized suddenly, he had none. They say given enough time a man can get used to anything. In truth, with all the death he had both seen and caused over the last few years, the thought of people dieing just didn't phase him any more.

Post by Sokuren on May 28, 2010 17:16:50 GMT -6
((ooc: Right, this is gonna probably be the last post I'm able to make until Monday, possibly Tuesday))
Sokuren came back down from the roof, still looking troubled, though not nearly as much as earlier. Having stopped by the mechanics bay and unloading the FX parts he had, and returning with a few credit chips in his hand. Glancing towards Max and the pile of cloths he thought
"What happened.... Wait, I don't want to know"
Sitting down in the opposite corner from Max, he lays out a large assortment of parts from his storage unit on the floor in front of him, and starts to assemble them. As he works he occasionally glances up at Akiko, stares at her for a few moments, then resumes working on his project.

"Ah." Maya managed to get out in response, never quite meeting eyes with the Hunter. Her gaze instead directed upon some apparently interesting facet of the ceiling. "Guess I'll go next then." She stood, brushing down her clothes and then running her fingers through her long dark hair to fluff it back up. She seemed under the impression that part of the interview would be based on how good she looked.
...
Akiko's interest with Blaze had lasted just as long as most adolescent crushes did, and she was so over with him, at least for the moment. Something else more interesting had caught her attention. Keeping close watch upon Sokuren, she drifted towards him each time he had looked away, and then stopped in place each time their eyes met. She appeared to be playing some variant of 'red-light, green-light' game with him.
...
Maya looked towards Max, ever so diligently at work. She would need to get his address after he went into business with Sokuren. "I wear it cause it's easier to carry that way." She stated in an uneven manner, as if it were a strange question to have asked. "Really, where else does one keep their clothes? Ah, I guess it's my turn then, so I'll go on ahead for now. Good Job!" She gave him a thumbs up to encourage his continued efforts.
Monitoring Akiko's playfulness with necessary concern, she left her some departing words on her way. "You play nice."
"Alright." Akiko responded half-heartedly, with a wide brimmed smile.
"Play nice." Maya repeated again, more sternly.
"Alwight." Akiko made a pitiable noise, finally giving in. "I won't 'tag' him."
With that concern addressed, Maya disappeared into the room indicated, ready to get the whole ordeal done and then leave this place.

"You worked to construct Yoron HQ?" Winter asked, glancing to Blaze with an intrigued look in her eyes, neither impressed nor unimpressed. "...huh."
Watching Maya go with a gentle look, she let out an exhale. "I'm Winter, Maverick Hunter as you know. Not really much to note about me... I just do my job and that's about it, considering the way things are. I don't get a whole lot of off-time..."

"I wear it cause it's easier to carry that way."
"Really, where else does one keep thie clothes?"
As Maya left, giving Max a happy thumbs up and "Good Job!" to go with it, the human would raise a hand in response.
"No, that's not what I...ok you're gone. Nevermind."
Shaking his head, Max would return to his work, having somehow gotten 1/2 done already.
"Girly work my rear, this has saved me a fortune in clothing...well I guess i'll go next...though before I do, there is certainly more about you Miss. What are your strengths, like are you solely a flight type? And also from both of you, what do you like to do WHEN you get down time?"
Finishing another garment, and folding it along with the others, Max would continue.
"As for me, as I said, the name's Max. Short for...*sigh* Maxwell. I was a foster stray for most of my childhood so the last name varies. A lot. I suppose if you're wanting one, "Brighton" will do. That was the first family I got close to in any rate. I'm good with my hands and love solving puzzles and fixing things, and some of my turn ons include long walks on the beach and a girl with a sense of humor."
Grinning again, and knowing full well that Akiko would probably chime in afterward, Max would finish and begin another garment, whilst continuing again.
"I've always been a bit of a loner, so i'm travelling by myself around the world, just to see the sights, learn things, and overall not get into anymore trouble..."
Stopping, the reploids + fairy in the room would see the human look up, as if realizing the error of saying what he's just said. He would sigh and shake his head as he continues...
"...Long story short, there's someone that's stalking me. Enjoys messing with me, blah, blah, blah. So as long as I keep moving, he can't do it. Nothing major."
3/4 there now. Taking a small break, the human stands and stretches, sitting back down in a lotus position.
"As for supporting myself, merc work also. I help whoever needs it at the time, but generally I find myself either with the Hunters or NA. The only thing I WON'T do is get in between the two. A rule of mine..."
Looking at the firey little bundle of energy hovering in the room Max would smirk and point at her.
"You factor into this too, Red. What's a lovely little flower like you doing getting involved in things exploding?"
Even though i'm mostly certain that she's caused a few herself...
