sling shot THE BIG OL FLOATY FISH BAT THING WAS FRIENDLY! WELL AT LEAST THAT'S HOW SHE SAW IT! ...then again...Miss G was also friendly in her own way and...actually seemed to cherish the gunpla she offered her. Treated it with kindness and there had to be some sort of valid reason this lady was interrogating her. It wasn't a simple exchange of interests...no...it felt like this lady was trying to dig away at her core. Though that drove her to wonder what sort of walk of life Miss G walked...trying to make sure she understood where another vigilante's position was. Maybe it was really just that weird to want to help others more directly...? ...it was starting to seem like it. Idly twitching her fingers the moment she kicked off the ground, boosted by the hover function of her boots to give a bit more oomph to her back flip as she hovered above the stitched up floaty fella for a moment. Easing down gently to sit upon the top of their head cross legged as though it was a massive, floating plushie. Blowing a chunk of her fringe out of her eyes, leaning forward while resting her elbows upon her knees. The way she rest her gaze upon Miss G wasn't as though she'd become superior or anything like trying to figure out the face behind the mask...nah...a smile curled across her lips, "Ohmigosh Miss G! I'm definitely good at the whole distraction thing!"Cupping her chin within one palm, she moved the other down to offer her sentient seat friend gentle scritches as though they were a kitty cat or doggo. "So what if the corporate mutts are doin' the same thing as me, Miss G? If I can make a difference to help someone, I'm not gonna just say oh too bad, sucks to suck, man an' fuck off...nah, I'll be tryin' to do somethin'. Sure, there's more than just bein' a distraction when it comes to helpin' others..." Lightly tilting her head as she arched a brow, slowly blinking like a cat that trusted the company in their wake, "I'll be doin' what I can to help others...even things like tryin' to get care packages together for folks who need it, tryin' to weed out bad groups tormentin' folks, too...."Lightly petting the big ol' round fella her scrawny butt was using as a floating seat, she traced her gaze up towards the ceiling... "Of course I'm not perfect an' I know I might make a mess, but so do most folks...I just like to hope most folks will forgive me if I screw somethin' up...I'd try to help fix places up if I can..." a soft sigh escaped her as that smile faltered ever so slightly. Returning her gaze back towards Miss G, the curiosity in her tone was clear, "What about'cha, Miss G? I know you're helpin' people...but how are ya goin' about it? Maybe we can help each other some how...?" Some of the cats were just lazing around like this was another day in the neighborhood, there were a couple that stared up at the...whatever that was their human was casually sitting on. Was that even safe? Who knows...Jaida clearly wasn't investing any thoughts in such a concept since she had enough trust for Miss G! Jackie Maradona

sling shot Tucking away the negative feelings into a nice box nestled into a dark ol' corner, she bobbled her head into a nod of agreement, all these points were...well...on point! They needed to have more cryptic ways of communicating since tech could get hacked and cause everything to fall apart at the seams. After all, if she was capable of nosing her way into systems and building them, there's a good chance that someone else out there in the world was gonna do it better. Although she was relatively skilled, she wasn't cocky enough to view herself as the best...she could admit there was a ways to go and this was one of em'... Carefully reaching up to grasp upon the sketches, she looked them over with a smile...albeit a little sad. That big lug better be okay out there... Flipping through, she looked at each and every sketch as though she was analyzing it with the utmost care...it was definitely a good start. Solid for the foundation of building a network and something that could easily support so much more...turning them at different angles and painting pictures in her mind of options, choices, creative liberties that could aid in emphasis for getting more specific with a single symbol. "It'll keep everyone safe for sure, I'm definitely not gonna tell ya no..."For a moment... ...her smile brightened with a sense of sincerity that she was in this to help as many people as she could...Ghouligan included. Though the moment he uttered the words, I don't think you're going to hurt me, are you? all those negative thoughts clawed away at her. Gently clutching at the drawings...she...she didn't know what to say. However, the look gracing her features hinted off towards an air of disappointment while trying to hold on to hope that it...didn't sound as bad as it did. "...Ghouls...what the fuck...no...I..I wouldn't hurt you or anyone in the Undertow..."...what could she do to prove that she wouldn't do such a horrible thing? Of course, obviously, if someone was backstabbing others...then of course she wouldn't sit idly by and do nothing...but she had more respect for the guy than that. "I-I'll...I'll go work on this for ya...take care, Ghouls and happy Chugen..." Putting the sketches away, she bowed her head slightly with a smile...try to be strong, try to be the pillar people can look up to... ...but this pillar was starting to crack at the seams as she walked away. Leaving the snacks for someone she hoped would be her friend one day. At least... ...in a way, it's like there was a gift today from Ghouligan...though he was more like the delivery boy of Dion in this case. This was a gift that would help everyone in the Undertow, she'd make sure of it...or at least try. Ghouligan 🎱

sling shot When he claimed that whatever he was into wasn't all that interesting, she let out a scoff! CAUSE OH C'MOOOON! Everyone found something interesting for a reason, right?! Though when he mentioned he was into tech, it was like someone offered her free food, her eyes glimmering with awe ridden intrigue, "Awww snap! Whaddaya meeeeaaaaan it's not interesting?! Tech stuff is so cool!" SOMETHING HUUUUUUUUUUUGE she had in common with this dude! Maybe he was more into repairing computers and such, but OH MAN, maybe she could change his view on miniatures?! After all, she modded some to move and being somewhat functioning while making her own lil fun-sized mechs...! "I looooooove building stuff! So building different kits and even doing some kit bashing is SOOOOOOO my jam! Sometimes I'll switch between kits, workin' on multiple stuff at a time!" Holding up her free hand, she flailed it to and fro as she continued yabbering away, "Or , or I'll work on my own projects and stuff for clients! YOOOOOOO I SHOULD SHOW YA MY SHOP AT SOME POINT! I got some cool techy stuff you could check out!" Fussing about in her bag with one hand, she quickly fished up her business card before holding it up to him like an excitable cat that got promised treats, "Tick Tack Tinker! I do repairs on the go an' have pop up shops, but! I got a main shop over in Shinjuku, gimme a call if ya wanna swing by or need help!"Though at the corner of her eye, that's when her attention jumped right over to the all too familiar sign! Ooooh man, hopefully this trip would go smoothly! There were rumors of some weirdo who would target folks going after the same rare plushies that they wanted...but that was mostly a rumor...right? There was no real evidence about it and part of her doubted she'd have a niche interest with some jerkwad...and if she did? Well darn, guess she'd have to cross that bridge when it gets there...right? For now, she'd excitedly guide her companion along into the shop, totally dismissing one of the shady people lurking about the cluster of regular looking patrons. CAUSE WOW SHE WAS JUST SO EXCITED!

sling shot WEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...........it looks not having a plan was something they had in common! OH BOY HOWDY! "Heh! Fair, fair!" After all, she was originally out here to take care of some repair work nonsense that got cancelled for...well...YA KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOW....! Big ol' freaky fishies who may or may not make for good sushi! Normally, she was just into eating desserts and throwing some protein powder into a carton of ice cream as a meal....but something about being surrounded by these monstrous fish were making her tummy want to have the rumblies that only sushi could understand. Maybe.... ...maybe today was the day that marked her having a normal diet...? NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Though when he mentioned they might be multiplying, part of her couldn't help but wonder of bonking those suckers triggered the freaky fish to become god's strongest mathematicians... "Hrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm...." ...deeeeeeeeefinitely some food for thought! FISH FOOD, EVEN! Whiiiiiiiich is totally what they're gonna become if they aren't careful...though she was admittedly more worried for him than herself. "W-wuh...? Y--" There it was.... ...the plan was already in motion... Shrugging to herself for a moment, that's when she started flailing her arms and figured ya know what? Why the heckadoodle not?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--"Some of the funky fish, namely the ones who looked like something fresh out of a sci-fi horror film from the 80's seemed to be completely and utterly baffled by the display, the red head going out of her way to scramble around like absolutely crazy! Taking in a deeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath before letting out a wheeze, kicking off the ground and tumbling on in to the alley way, skidding across the floor with a squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeek. Her head lightly bonked a trash bin which she used to get back up to her feet. The top fumbled off and there was a cute lil fish that peeked up from the bin, eyes so large that it looked like someone intentionally designed it to be a chibi gold fish. "...awwwwhhh..." ....but its scales were starting to ruffle and contort. Quickly scrambling the lid back on top, she skated after her buddy, trying to keep up, "DUDE UHHHH....we might not be alone there was a--" A bunch of reflective eyes glimmered around them...gurgles burbling here and there... ....why did she leave her weapons at home? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?! solaris 🌞

It's like someone turned the saying "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say goes straight back to you" into a more literal sense. Putting her fingers, hands, feet, toes, arms, legs together for prolonged periods of time and pulling it apart will make a thick band that works like a slingshot. Since her skin is more like rubber, it operates as a splendid counter against electricity. Not to mention her bones have a density akin to thick rubber. The user's skin can create varying sized bands, or being pulled up and attached to things such as a bow, as examples of their versatility for using sections and segments of her skin. She can also pinch and move her skin around to make herself look different due to her rubber-like body since her skin has a great deal of elasticity & her bones are akin to thick rubber. Another perk is being able to get rid of, or change her finger prints after applying heat.

sling shot Honestly? The presently red head of a twink couldn't help but let out a bemused, light-hearted laugh as she heard Miss G's question in its entirety. Less that she was nervous or upset, but just sort of amused that she sort of missed the point that they had something more in common, "Eheheh, right, right! Lemme sum it up in goals, each of em' has goals and they're all driven ta make em' come true! Not all of em' accomplish their goals, but they got the ambition in common!" Offering a firm nod to polish off her statement, she lightly waved her hand to and fro with a grin full of pride! Though that seemed to only be the first part.... Thaaat's right, the next part was directed towards why she wanted a suit like one of them...most folks would probably anticipate something like 'cuz I'm a big fan of the series lol or something. Though as she watched one of the fluffiest cats in their wake offer the woman's hand a couple of curious nff nffs, then have a moment of pause before the fluffy feline allowed Miss G the divine honor of bestowing pets n' scritches upon them. .....maybe it was okay to open up a little bit? They were always so careful to only allow people to see certain facets of them to remain like a reliable pillar. Would it help any bit to explain beyond the surface? There was so much more beneath the surface....but-- --WAIT...HUH?! A new voice emerged and when those vibrant green optics took it in, that brain noodle rolled right off the tracks and she brought her hands up to plop them upon her cheeks with a gaaaaaasp! IS THAT A FLYING GOLDFISH?! "OHMIGOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH LOOKIT YOOOOOOOOOOOU!" Shuffling over with the chkchkchkchckchk of the boots wheels, carefully navigating around the cats as she began reaching up towards Miss G's flying buddy, "AAAAaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaa~! That's a friendshaped friend if I'd ever seen one! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Stopping herself from smooshing the floaty fella's face, a gasp escaped as it clicked back in their brain that helloooooooo a serious question was asked! "O-oh! Doi! Durrrrrr the suit, sorry sorry!" Bringing her hands up to her head to lightly pat the top of her own head before blepping out her tongue for a moment and closing her eyes, "Heheh!" Reopening her eyes, she plopped her hands upon her hips and took in a deeeep breath before exhaling softly, "I'd look a lot more professional if I had a suit like that, wouldn't I? Some folks would probably see me as a Pro-Hero out the gate rather than the...uhhh alternative hero that I am? Might buy me some time an' gain the trust of folks in a pinch when I'm tryin' ta save folks...I'm probably a weirdo for wantin' to actually save others an' not just...I'unno.....fight folks n' fuck off?" Holding up her hand, she lightly fussed with the long fringe idly, "Plus, I can be a better distraction for y'all...errrr well...whoever works with me n' all that...? If some folks wanna see me as a weapon then..I mean..okay...I guess?" Shrugging ever so slightly with a subtle pout, "If that's the case, maybe folks who think that way will run away an' hide...but I'm preeeeeeeetty sure at a glance, most folks will think it's a tech based Pro they can count on an' hear me out...I could be wrong, though.." Fussing with her hair a bit more, she looked off to the side and a soft sigh eased its way past her lips, "Might be a stupid view, an' that's okay...I'm used to folks not seeing eye to eye with me on savin' people without a license as is...despite bein' on the same side n' all...so it's cool if either of ya think it's kinda dumb, wouldn't be the first n' wouldn't be the last. Could always be worse, though!" Finishing those words with a soft chuckle, she glanced between the two and kept her spirits up all the same. Jackie Maradona

sling shot "YOU CAN GET TO SAFETY, HIDE, GO!" Taking in a sharp breath, she pushed herself off of the ground and tapped her fingers together so the hover function of her boots would activate. Getting her back to her feet much faster, she kicked up some nearby debris...a soda can. Slamming it into her hip so it would be more like an aluminum disc, she popped it into the launcher, loading it up before sweeping it into her grasp. Taking careful aim, she mouthed off at the zombie shark, "HOW 'BOUT YA HAVE SOME IRON IN YA DIET, STINKY FELLA!"As it let out a SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH, she held her breath and pulled the trigger so it would get lodged into the rotting shark's throat. Quickly, she balanced the launcher upon her shoulder while removing her zappy-pistol from its holster, skating up to it so she could get within range. Rapidly closing the distance, she held it up aaaaand....squeezed the trigger as a short jolt of electricity emerged. With the aluminum lodged in its throat as a wonderful conductor, it seemed to do a number on the bastard... "...well less like iron an' more like aluminum..." Rolling her shoulders into a shrug...she stood over it and....hoped it wasn't a person. Though she was pretty sure it was some poor, innocent fishy that got mutated against its will...especially since that was the case before. Lightly scratching the back of her head with the proto-gun, she let out a heavy sigh, turning away from it to see if there were any other dangerous creatures heading over. Which...they were off in the distance as far as she could tell...it was tough to use her equipment to tap into nearby cameras since most of them were busted. As she was distracted, though...the mutated shark's hand lightly twitched as it started reaching for her ankle!

sling shot: 10/10 ⚙️ "H-heh! Thanks! What can I say? I've been 'round the block!" Grinning wide to show off her own sharp chompers with a sense of pride, she was honestly glad to bump into a good spirited dude out here! The circumstances sucked, but she suppooooooooooooosed it could be worse! Still, having someone cheer for her punting a freaky fish was a nice change of pace from no one giving a hoot or holler about her efforts... THAT WAS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE THOUGH...! His hand was bitten and she needed to make sure it was okay, especially because she wasn't sure if he was at risk of getting poisoned or some sort of god awful infection. There was no telling what secrets these freaky fish monsters biology held. Though part of her was really curious to find out if they were viable for sushi, or if it was like a botched fugu sushi out the gate...bleghhh...! Maybe she didn't want any of that potential smoke...after all, she intentionally stayed away from fugu like a vampire fearing garlic! Squinting as she inspected his hand, she noticed it...was definitely no where near as bad as it could be.....pheeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, okay! "We'll try to find somethin' to treat it just in case..." Thankfully, there would be first aid kits within buildings or something, but she let go of his hand with a sigh of relief and crossed her arms, rapidly tapping her elbow, "Well ya know what, I couldn't tell ya, might be some weird ass experimental shit that got dumped in the water...or the result of a quirk to mutate sea life?" Those seemed like the top two viable reasons, even if the conspiracy theories were inspired by sci-fi stories. When he told her behind her, she wheeeeeeezed out, "They're behind me, aren't they...?" Turning her head, she let out a yelp and...even the tentacle fish came FLYING at her and smacked her square in the forehead before bounced off like it bonked a bouncy castle! Staggering backward and shuffling her feet to catch her balance, she squinted SO HARD at these fishy monsters...HOW DARE! Rubbing her forehead before turning her attention back to her newly found homie and skated after him with a grooooaan, "Bruuuuuuuuuh! Whatever mad scientist or power hungry jerkface is behind this is gonna get a free knuckle sandwich if I ever find em'!"People in positions of powers doing messed up stuff ALWAYS rubbed her the wrong way! Shaking her fist in the air for a lil emphasis on her last statement, she lowered her body while leaning forward to increase her speed a little. "A-anyway, ya got a plan?" Rummaging through her bag, she pulled out a gear...she might need her tools, so she didn't want to use those as ammo just yet, but she wanted to see where this guy was gonna go. A little plan bubbling in her head that she could try setting off a car alarm or something...maybe they were like zombies in video games and movies...she'd test that theory in a bit....perhaps...maybe! solaris 🌞

sling shot Although she believed in getting just desserts, there wasn't anything exciting from this that made her happy about maiming others in the slightest. Making people bleed didn't cause the petite woman to grin with joy or laugh, no...it was just...the only way to make some people stop hurting others. It was just so...goofy that hurting people was the only way to stop them at times. There were moments where she tried to talk people out of being violent and all they did was try to hurt her, then attempt to go after others, too...it was a vicious cycle. ....and she hated it. Yet, she hated the idea of people being enabled to harm others for funsies so much more. Self-defense and protecting others was different from a mindless onslaught, though she could only imagine how someone would try to 4D Chess the narrative....twist and contort it to fit their views. When she got here, shit already hit the fan and she called for backup, that backup asked her to be a distraction and...well...here we are! Though as she spun, at the corner of her eye in sync with the explosion...she caught the sight of the gore ridden ornament lookin' thing adorning the woman's wrist. Feeling her heart jump a bit, she kept on track since now she wasn't just a distraction...she was a member of the front lines, whether she liked it or not. Following Ghouls' directions put her on the burning stove top more than she realized... ...almost like...she was just another egg to break for some kind of fucked up omelette. Th-that...that couldn't be it....no, he wasn't a bad person over all, he wanted to help people like her so....y-yeah...yeah...she wasn't just another ingredient to be disposed of...! Speaking of fucked up body count omelettes... Was...was someone really boasting about murdering a hero?! Dude, these people? WHACK! Even when Slayer and Ghouls put the final blow in slaying the dragon back then, they were well aware that a life was lost and had their own way to show respects. Not this...celebratory bullshit. The shadows of her mind were slowly easing through the cracks as she tried to rationalize that maybe these folks were wronged by Pro-Heroes like she was and just...took a more toxic route to coping than she did. That maybe deep, deep down...they weren't as bad as they were presenting themselves...but the joyful cheer draping the air told another story. Maybe she could still get Guardian Valkyrie out of here, find someone to provide medical attention? There was just so much going on, too much to keep tabs on and she stupidly wasn't keeping track of her bullets so those babies were gonna run out at any minute. Skating around and keeping up with her non-lethal song and dance to protect herself and others-- --that voice! INTERNALLY SCREAMING LIKE A BANSHEE ON THE INSIDE--she had to focus the next round of rhythm towards someone who wanted to add her life to the hero body count! None of the shots lethal, thankfully...she then let out a squeak as she heard a soft click when she tried to shoot towards the knife in the girl's hand to disarm her...but nope! Shiiiiiiiiiit! M-maybe she didn't hear that the gun was empty...? Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod-- --she was preeeeeeeeeetty sure her skin was tough enough to hold out a bit against the knife...unless it was really sharp...bleghhhh....! SO THEN SHE SKATED LIKE HELL! "OH Y'WANNA TASTE OF THIS?! THEN COME N' GET ME SUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Flipping her bubblegum pink locks with a wild grin, she let out a taunting tackle before bobbing and weaving around. "GONNA HAVE'TA WORK FOR YOUR MEAL!" Though when she turned around, some random thug was trying to pull a fast one and her panic was faster cause boy howdy did she pistol whip n' nay that guy's face! Booty bumping him backward, she looked over her shoulder and saw the girl who had been chasing her....stopped? ....okay... ...we take any victories in this house! Plus, it looked like she was far away enough from Guardian Valkyrie, so she quickly looped back while biting her lip... ...just because Pro-Heroes as a whole robbed her of becoming legit, didn't mean she wanted to watch them drop dead. So she dropped the empty pistols and took off the megaphone, crouching down as she tried to get Guardian Valkyrie on her back...very carefully. There were others like downed officers who...unfortunately looked pretty damn dead with their wounds and...even all the optimism in the world couldn't convince her that they were alive. "Ffff...gahdamn..." It was hard to figure out how to pick her up...but she didn't know if her eyes were playing tricks on her when she could have sworn she saw signs of breathing. Though her optimism said there was a chance... ...maybe. Though she didn't know how much time she had and....it was starting to look like she was nothing more than some egg in a fucked up omelette.... ....Ghouls never came back as far as she could tell. Maybe...she was just some weak link that he wanted to get rid of and this was the golden opportunity...that's what the negative little shadows crawling throughout her mind whispered. Sad thing is...she was starting to wonder if they were right, but she tried to shine a light in her mind that maybe he got caught up in something. Figuring out how to get Guardian Valkyrie on her back, she let out a soft huff and started shuffling off...moving a lot slower since her weight increased, even though the skates definitely helped... TLDR! Oh yikes forever, caught a glimpse of Retsu's not there anymore hand. X to doubt. OH IT'S A RUI...AND SO SHE STARTED BLASTIN'Lol out of bullets, UHHH TAUNT TAUNT! Pistol whipped a random thug and booty bumped him before continuing to skate away from Rui ....oh, Rui stopped chasing...OKAY! Goes to help Guardian Valkyrie, doesn't seem that dead compared to the other folks. Oh boy, doubts! Starting to think Ghouls ditched her, fukkin RIP lol Anyway, ditches her empty pistols and the busted ass megaphone, figures out how to pick up Guardian Valkyrie piggy back style, skating away muuuuuch slower now lol. Ghouligan, Bakiri Retsu, Rui Matsui, Shō Matsui, facade

sling shot Sure, she wouldn't disagree whole heartedly with such a point...but damn, she really wished folks would grasp that they weren't as alone as they felt. That they could actually reach out for help, that there were people who could and would respond...that being some lone ranger wasn't the only option. Hopefully it wasn't something that really was something Dion could tackle by himself... ...though the shadows of her mind leaked into the light of her thoughts for a moment and she simply built another mental wall to cope. Maybe dismissing things and shoving them into a corner would come back to bite her, suffocate her...but that was a problem for future Jaida. The present had to be their best self! YEAH! So she simply offered a slight smile, "...y-yeah...heh...you're right, Ghouls..." The concern didn't leave her voice, it lingered about, but she seemed to have taken that tough to swallow pill well enough. Admittedly, she'd keep an eye on her phone when she had better reception again, just make sure that Dion hasn't been trying to reach out in dire need of help. It wasn't that she saw her allies as incompetent, just...genuinely worried about their well-being, wishing and hoping the best for them. That things could be worse rather than finding their final tale emerge in the obituaries. Another cloudy thought tucked away into the darker depths of the optimist's mind, relieved that at least he accepted the lunch box, rescued the runaway waters and even took the gift! Nodding to assure him that yup, today is definitely Chugen, part of her wondered if he knew what it was, or--! --OOOOOOR MAYBE HE WAS SURPRISED SOMEONE REMEMBERED HIM ON CHUGEN AND SHE WAS BRIGHTENING SOMEONE'S DAY! There were times she recalled her gifts for other occasions simply being thrown away and discarded out of spite towards her, but it didn't look like that was gonna happen today! With the pride bubbling within her soul in picking out a good set of gifts, she let out a happy huff and puffed her chest a bit, "Right, right?! I saw em' and had to get em' then give em' the chibi-accurate pool stick! Heh!" Sitting upright as she grabbed her knees, there was a small part of her that thought maybe that's why they were meeting up today, CHUGEN~! It was such a fun holiday, who wouldn't want to give folks stuff just because?! Goodness, she almost forgot and HAHA HOW AWKWARD WOULD THAT HAVE BEE-- --oh. Furrowing her brows slightly, she simply laughed it off on the outside, bringing her hand up and lightly waving it to and fro, "Eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh it's okay, really, Ghouls! I gotta admit, I almost forgot m'self, but I'm glad ya got something, at least!" Giving him a thumbs up, she carried on her chipper words, "'sides! Ya like em' so that's enough for me, man!" Bringing her hand down, she rhythmically pat her knees in thought, stuffing every shred of negativity plaguing her into a box to deal with later once more...sorry future, Jaida! "Sooooo, so so so! What'cha wanna talk about, Ghouls?" Though the rhythmic knee taps came to a pause and she sloooowly lifted her hand, pointing up towards the sky, "...aaaand does that include why ya look different than usual?" Tilting her head ever so slightly to the side like a confused puppy, she distracted herself with the reminder that he definitely looked and sounded more like a person today. Not that she didn't see him as a person at his core when he was looking like a mutant of some sort...but...he looked like he could easily blend into a crowd this way. Granted, she'd keep this hush hush, last thing she wanted to do was compromise someone she saw as a friend in the works, an ally. You know, especially after seeing how the news had it out for him with their propaganda bullshittery. They couldn't fool her, they were just trying to paint him in a bad light as a distraction from some other issues going on in society! JERKS! Ghouligan 🎱

sling shot Bonk! BAWNK!BONKITY BONK BONK!AWH HELL, if this thing didn't get off of her face, she'd probably suffocate! Each bonk became a little more swift with a stronger force behind it, but then she heard someone calling out about helping! OH WAS SOMEONE GONNA HELP HER?! Wait, wait there were other folks in peril, too...weren't there? HM...well! Ya know what? It could be worse! Though the sound of rapid footsteps approached and she blurted out the most coherent, "MRRRMMMFFRRRMMMMBBBBBBBHHHHHHHHHHH" When she could feel the freaky fish on her face getting feebly wraaaaassled, she stopped with the bonk assaults, snapped her fingers as a light bulb moment in her noggin took place, then brought the wrench up to try and hook it between her face and the creature's jaws! ......... ...........why didn't she just do that from the get go? OH WELL! That was neither here nor there and it seemed like between the both of them trying to get the creature who looked as though it rolled out of a lovecraftian fever dream? HER FACE WAS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Though now she had punctures indented on her face...aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwkward..... OH EVEN MORE AWKWARD WAS THE FACT THAT IT CLICKED THEIR COMBINED EFFORTS ISN'T WHY SHE COULD SEE AGAIN....nawwwwhhhhhhrrrrrr it was seeing it chose to bite down on his hand instead, yikes forever! Gritting her unusually sharp teeth, inhaling the air as she watched the spectacle before her. Much like a cat trying to figure out which way she should go, she lightly shuffled and bobbed to the left--oop! Right! LEFT?! R-RIGHT? This little shimmy jig was during the duration of her hero rushing around like he was on fire or something! Aaaaaa shoot! She didn't want to accidentally hurt him, she just wanted to talk to that rude ass fish by creating a new language called WRENCH TO THE FACE UNTIL IT DON'T MOVE NOOOOOOOOO MO'! So she opted to wiggle her hands and yell out "GEEEEEEEEEEEET EM'!" Cheering him on, she was DEFINITELY not in the business of potentially hurting innocent people and this dude fell in that category! Once the fish menace was defeated, she let out a wheeze and skated over to pick up momentum, then as she swept her foot into a kick, she twitched her fingers of her cybernetic arm to activate that particular foot's hover function for an extra OOMPH! Sending the fish flying like it was part of a particular duo aiming to always steal some kid's capsule monster bff, she let out a heavy exhale and set her foot down, "AAAAAAAND STAY GONE, SUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Flailing her wrench in the now flying fish's direction with a scoff through her nostrils, she looked towards the guy who helped her with a grin, "Better now! Geeze, I was pretty sure I was gonna lose air or somethin' an--oh no.." A slight frown broke her smile as she furrowed her brows, looking at his hand and pouted, "I think I should be the one askin' you that, buddy boy...lemme see, please.." Putting away the wrench, she held out her cybernetic looking hand out towards him and used her more normal looking hand to lightly rub her face so the dips in her flesh would smooth out. If he offered his hand for her to inspect, she'd be checking it out to see if he was bleeding at all. Poor guy, if only she mastered the art of beating freaky fish up with her wrench...curses! solaris🌞

sling shot Although she was still wary since two and two was making fish right now...the next sentence got her to connect the dots that it was definitely Ghouls. A slight frown made its way across her lips as she got closer, "He knows he doesn't have'ta do things by himself all the time...he's got us and we coulda helped..." Setting down her stuff, she reached up to lightly fuss her hair, twirling her fingers along the strands for a moment before bringing her hand out, "...hopefully he'll be alright..." Crouching down next to her stuff, flumping her but down before crossing her legs which didn't bother her none since she wore bike shorts beneath every skirt she'd wear out. After all, she never really knew when or where she'd have to throw hands. Blinking a few times, she then looked up and offered up a slight smile, "OH! I brought'cha some stuff! Since this place was pretty remote an' I didn't know if ya needed more than a snack...plus it's Chugen!" Getting out the lunch box she packed, plopping it on the ground, gently pushing it towards Ghouligan along with a couple bottles of water. Then she brought out a bag that had a bunch of cow print tissue, picking it up and holding it over her head, she added a little "Ta ta da da daaaaaaaa~!" Before holding it towards Ghouligan, "Happy Chugen, Ghouls~!"When he'd open it, he would find that it was a little handmade plush of him in full vigilante form, complete with a little pool stick that could be attached to the hands with magnets. With the time she had before coming down here, she at least wanted to add on to the plushy she found, so now it had a little magnetic pool stick. Beneath it was a key chain she welded together with scraps to look like a skull, she almost made it of his mask...but she didn't want to risk someone connecting the dots on that front. Now the skull key chain also had a built in light for the eyes so it could be used like a flash light, a charging port much like a phone and solar panels accenting it beneath the eyes and upon the top. The button below it, concealed under the jaw bone, that was the little on and off switch for the flashlight function. A little card with a cat emoji could also be found within... Happy Chugen!
I found the plushy when I was out shopping and made it so your mini-me could hold a pool stick! I made the key chain from scratch, hope it comes in handy! I didn't have time to add a blacklight setting like I wanted, but I can make you another one later if you want (: you can charge it with solar power or like a cellphone, figured it was easier than something you need to change the battery for! Button to turn it on and off is under the jaw, I didn't want it to ruin the look of it, hope you like your gifts!Some tiny, individually packaged soy sauce crackers with nori could be found here and there beneath the card. It was a safe enough snack choice to throw in there, especially since she wasn't too sure if he liked sweets or not! Ghouligan 🎱

sling shot Miss G's words weren't lost on the excitable vigilante, not by a long shot! Though the question about what was stopping her from making the suit, she let out a soft sigh with a slight smile, "Resources, actually...I've been usin' my boots to learn how to make somethin' fly before I dump a ton'a time n' resources into something so ambitious. I know I'm gonna goof up an' things will probably explode before I get it right...I jus' don' have the wiggle room...a-and that's fine!" Perking up, she even puffed up her chest then plopped her hands upon her hips, looking off towards the gunpla like she proudly landed on the moon! "One day, Miss G, one day! Whenever I make her, you'll be th'first one I call! YEAH!" Bringing up her arm that looked riddled in cybernetics, clenching her hand into a fist with a lil' wiggle and excited sigh rushing out of her, she then checked back in and realized Miss G wanted to know about the kit she gave her! "Oh! Yeah, yeah, ya can prime her to change the coat! That's the nice thing about these kits, ya don't have to keep em' lookin' the way they should, some folks get multiple kits n' do kitbashing. It's when ya mix n' match parts to make em' something totally different...like a custom model!"With a couple of nods to affirm the statement, she fussed with her long chunk of hair to tuck it behind her ear, letting her gaze go around the room as the cats hanging out eased up to sort of relax. They saw the new human was more or less one of them, just like the weird human who had hair colors like an ice cream shop had flavors, "Ya know...they're more than just robots, Miss G...they're also heroes in their own stories, most being piloted, but even the bad ones were heroes in their own eyes. It's actually kinda crazy," Skating on towards the wall, she reached up to lightly tap the shelf of a bulkier looking model that had a menacing look to it that screamed probably an antagonist, "This guy, he was painted out to be the villain, an antagonist, but when the prequel came out? People saw that this guy lost everything trying to save his planet...like...everything. Dude totally lost his marbles because it broke him...so he went after the guys who started the attack. Ya see the aftermath before the lead up, so at first..we all saw this psychopath, then we found out the protagonists we were followin' before were actually the real antagonists...framing and perspective's somethin' this series went wild with...but..."Lightly patting the model's foot with the tip of her finger, she moved her hand off of the shelf before looking towards Miss G with a sad smile that still had hope, "..I like to hope that maybe folks like us can stop people from losing their way an' sight, becoming what they fought so hard to put at bay like Captain Shiraishi over there." Loosely crossing her arms with a soft sigh, furrowing her brows a bit, "I can't save em' all from losin' sight...but nothin's gonna stop me from at least trying." There was more to her than just weeb living out weeb dreams, but the question framed it well enough for her to give some insight, an example that she knew the world wasn't strictly black and white, there was so much grey to sift through and she was willing to take up that meticulous task. All she wanted to do was help make things right. Give the world a shred of understanding that was normally set ablaze before given a chance to become something so much more.
