“Woah, you’re really tall!”

Ever since Kay glitched off of Foss Isle, she’s been doing her best to relax on Nommin Isle. The problem, as is typical for her, is that the sunlight here is unbearable, and she’d been stranded without her parasol.

She’s been sticking to the shadows whenever possible, and this person casts kind of a big one. Hopefully he doesn’t mind her hanging out there for a little while.

“Sorry to bother you, but do you think you could reach some of those palm-tree leaves for me? The biiiiiig ones?”

This was strange. Lala’s head cocked an eyebrow slightly as she felt her hands touching something cold and hard. Metal? Probably. She couldn’t tell because her body was... Well, she wasn’t really sure where it was right now. 

Somewhere else in the city her hand had indeed knocked on something hard and apparently metal. Though something being metal didn’t exactly stop it being alive, as things happened. Her body, without a head as it currently was, had indeed just tapped against what was the leg of this rather tall, mechanical individual. 

It looked up. Or at least it gave the impression of looking upwards.

Then it started waving enthusiastically before pointing frantically down the street.

Shadow isn’t sure if he wants to go through with this, but he knows he’d look weak if he didn’t show up at all. He tries not to bring much attention to himself as he finds where he’s supposed to meet up with his... therapist. It still feels so weird doing this, but his reasons for doing so is what keeps him going. He can’t keep feeling so helpless, he can’t keep dwelling on the past. 

He manages to find the office, and he pauses by the doorway as soon as he enters, his eyes widening when he sees the large robot inside. But he figures that this has to be the right guy--”Rung” is a pretty unusual name. Still, he doesn’t say anything for a moment, nor does he make a move away from the door. He isn’t afraid--just surprised, and unsure of what to say.

Calm down Cassy, CALM DOWN CASSY! Do NOT freak out in front of the walking metal golem, wait no they’re called robots in this world. Do NOT freak out! But the huge smile on Cassy’s face as her eyes sparkled with the joy reminiscent of an excited child was too difficult to hide.

In her attempt to learn more about the city after the insanity of being involved in fighting Celestial copies just a few days ago, she went around finding ways to reverse engineer and improve (in her opinion) a lot of the technology she came across. While this did result in her getting banned from certain public areas , it was worth it!

“That metal body, that perfect paint job, the model that looks like its more for assistive roles rather than for combat- I’ve never seen something so amazing like THIS!”

   Flying on a broom takes some getting used to; she has the knowledge, in theory, wired into her mind like spells & brews that any witch worth her salt should know, but she steers clumsily and almost-drops a few times too many in the air. It appears to steady after some maneuvering -- right up until she looks down and a flower shop enters her sight, and its owner just outside the door. She calls out a ‘hey!’ in greeting, and --

   -- Her ride betrays her, thrusting downwards, and she yells at it to settle down; it crashes unceremoniously onto the ground, unsympathetic to her command. Athena allows herself a few seconds of rest lying down-- not because of any harm done significant enough to keep her from getting up, but disbelief that this just happened in the first place.

   “I’m fine. I’m fine -- “

Gaige had almost certainly visited every tea shop in Spirale by this point- her girlfriend had quite a penchant for the beverage and some accompaniment from crumpets, so they were frequent dating spots for the pair.  London Fog wasn’t quite her favorite atmospherically, but it was the closest by when she found herself with a craving for some refreshing sips.  It was supposed to just be a quick stop by...but the alarmingly long line at the front counter threw quite a wrench in that.

“Uuugh...”  The mechanic’s foot tapped away, arms crossed across her chest and eyes practically boring a hole in everyone in front of her.  She looked back to the patron behind her.  Normally a robot a few times taller than her would’ve made her totally geek out, but she’d seen a lot since she came to the city.  “Any ideas about what’s holding them up over there?  Never seen a traffic jam in this place before.”
