"Yeah, I know, she just...! Ugh, come on!" Gaige was clearly trying to get her little mechanical companion's attention, shuffling around to try and catch her line of sight. "Tink! Tinkerbell Zippington!! Leave them alone already!" The mechromancer was growing annoyed as well, trying to think of a way to grab its attention...wait, that was it! She took her cell phone out and shook it around a little bit. "Looook, it's a new piece of teeeech for you~!"

The energetic little Spratchet stopped in its tracks, head swiveling over to look at the cell phone, before it zipped over and took the phone as Gaige loosed it from her hand. Already it was starting to examine its functions, probably trying to disassemble it soon.

"Phew...she's nonstop, I tell ya." Gaige looked to Paprika with a sheepish expression. "Guess she kinda gets it from me, though...sorry."

"WHOA HEY! Tch, you mine keeping your Spiramon in check before mine decides they're got for a scrap heap?" Paprika was more annoyed then acting, trying to avoid the energetic chaos of the mechanical creature that was causing her own spectre to start to grow increasingly frustrated.

"Someone hit up Candy Camouflage with me!! I could go for biting some stuff, whether real or chocolate!!"

[anarchyengaiged]

"HEY! Hey, Tink! Calm down, will you? I can't bob and weave like you!" The voice called after a knee-high Spiramonster that zoomed around on one wheel, making little chittering beeps and warbles. It was currently rolling back and forth on its wheel and looking wide-eyed up at some innocent bystander. Gaige eventually slipped past every person and monster to the one her little curious one had stopped in front of. "Sorry- she REALLY seems to only listen to authority when she wants to...not sure where she gets that from."

[anarchyengaiged]

"If drinking one of these things will help me wind up in a world without country music, I'm taking that bullet."

[anarchyengaiged]

"I'm sure that it's safe with the proper oversight." She glanced back from her work on the mobile firework launcher she'd thrown herself into recently. "A surge would only take up enough power to knock out a city block, and it's disconnected from its central power source anyway- I know what I'm doing."

She grinned and went right back to it, only then realizing she hadn't answered every question the girl had. So she tacked on more while still working.

"Oh yeah, and as for trouble...don't worry about it. If someone busts my ass for being a genius, I'll make sure they know you had nothing to do with it. I've dealt with WAY worse than anything they could throw at me."

@anarchyengaiged

"You, uh...you sure this thing is safe?" This whole situation reminds her of Jinx. "You're not going to get in trouble---WE'RE not going to get in trouble?" And she's doubtful. An eyebrow arches and she watches Gaige work hard with tinkering with some kind of wire.

"Something tells me it's going to spark and all the lights around this place is just gonna poof."

damn, Ismael.

Have some faith!

"Man, 'course this...this party is thrown NOW of all times. 'Course Tina's not here right now...may not ever come back cause of how this ssstupid fuckin' city works. Guess it's what I get for always getting stolen away, huh? Gotta get out there more, gotta make new friends! Fuck that, I just...wantmywifebackman..."

Gaige stands by a particular refreshment table, rambling to...nobody in particular, it looked like. And how many times had she filled that glass...?

FRAGMEMORIA INFO- Gaige the Mechromancer

Gaige needs to get her butt in on more of these events, whether or not she’ll be happy about what happens because of it! So let’s get through what it is that NULL has caused our beloved mechromancer to have forgotten!

Vault Hunting: All those days that Gaige spent trekking Pandora with her ragtag group of friends, blasting baddies, killing creepy critters, and showing Handsome Jack what happens when he tries to fuck with the lives of (mostly) innocent people? Gone! She’s never killed anything or anyone at all. She’s no badass mechromancer, she’s just a smart nerdy amputee! Well, there was that one time with Marcie, as well as Gaige’s prized invention…

Deathtrap: …What invention? She’s never built anything so advanced as a floating kickass security bot before- that’s magnum opus material right there, and she’s a ways off from that. She remembers there was a science fair, and she’d done…pretty alright in it, then…she moved to Pandora for some reason, probably just hunkered down in a town…

Overall, what this means for her is she’s going to be a lot less…active, in a sense. She still remembers being married to Tina and will still have her same punk attitude, but she’s going to be less of an instigator or escalator. She’ll be low-key, snarky, and still trying to figure out what should be her true greatest creation ever, unaware that she can already summon him with just a flick of her wrist.

Like this post for an event starter! Capping at 3, with castmates and previous interactions exempt. Part 2 call will come after a couple of these have been finished.

[anarchyengaiged]

"SWEET! Ah, one thing, though- is this gonna be a problem?" Gaige held up her left arm, flexing the mechanical fingers and rolling the wrist a little bit. "I'm obviously not gonna try and really hurt you, but if this is just supposed to be fisticuffs then I get if you're not comfortable with me swinging a hunk of metal around."

She really hoped it'd be fine, though. She wasn't exactly an expert brawler in the first place, typically relying on her weapons and Deathtrap to get her through her fights, and those had much higher stakes than the row this squid girl was getting going.

"WE SURE ARE! EVERYONE'S INVITED TO SHOW ME THEIR STUFF, SO DON'T HOLD BACK!"

Was she going overboard? Yeah, probably, and to a degree even Frye herself could recognize that.

But was she also having way too much fun to care? Yeah. This was what happened when she was left unable to get her competitive streak out in the way of a splatfest or even just a regular turf war for months, apparently.

[anarchyengaiged]

"Are we starting fights?! HELL yeah! I want in!"

[anarchyengaiged]

"So before I poof away from the city for a couple days 'cause of some bonehead's inability to get me to do shit even WHEN they had something explicitly written out for me to do, anyone wanna blow some junk up?"

MISTIFIED STARTER CALL & INFO- Gaige

Finally got all these details planned out! You just know Gaige would go out to explore the mist, reckless as she is. Going to have this post as an uncapped event starter call with all the information about her data imprints below!

RESIDUAL DATA IMPRINTS:

The Eden-V Youth Science Fair: The last activity Gaige got to engage in before having to quickly escape to Pandora. Politics, pushing, and pretty nasty explosions abound here.

Pandora: Ah, the amazing, diverse, lawless shithole that is the prime locale for Gaige’s biggest adventure. Any variety of memories can crop up from here, whether specific in-game occurrences or general shenanigans.

SENTIENT DATA IMPRINTS

Geoffrey Arkell: Gaige’s dad! Very supportive of her, very concerned for her well-being, but still capable of causing a level of mayhem comparable to his daughter’s. Not at all hostile unless you put her in danger.

Marcie Holloway: Gaige’s filthy-rich, thieving alpha-bitch classmate. Last time Gaige saw her she’d been exploded. Hostile to those she considers beneath her, but ultimately harmless aside from being a serious shover.

Nisha: The Sheriff of Lynchwood, Handsome Jack’s girlfriend, and one of the best gunslingers on Pandora. Runs her town with draconian laws and is always eager for a showdown with those who would rebel against her. Hostile.

Wilhelm: A cyborg who serves as one of Handsome Jack’s top enforcers. Nearly killed the first generation of Vault Hunters. Hostile.

[anarchyengaiged]

Gaige hadn't seen the man around before, but the request he made of her left an immediately good first impression. Her bright green eyes lit up at the sight of an opportunity, though she did try to rein in her excitement a little. Not to much avail, but there was an effort.

"Well, aren't you in luck- you're looking at one! Built my own arm and everything." She stretched her mechanical left arm out in front of herself, waggling the fingers a bit before looking back to the stranger. "What sorta genius engineering do you need?"

Self repairs can be done minimally, but he’ll need to find a real expert on engineer to actually adjust what his body could do , right now. As in right really now. 

An engineer, he is not. 

 “Would you, happen to know where  any engineering geniuses are around?” 

it was a half hazard try. 

[anarchyengaiged]

"We've probably got around another month before the cold starts fizzling out. Of course, with how quickly shit gets flipped around here with the "events" the Stars put us through, that may just be longer, or even shorter. But I hate that it works like that so let's just stick with the month for now."

"I think I slept through the new year... I can't believe I missed so much of the cold weather! How long do I have until it starts getting warm again?"

[anarchyengaiged]

The way Tina’s face lit up caused Gaige’s to do the same. Few things brought her more happiness than seeing her wife revel in her passion for explosives, and knowing that she’d done such a great job of getting her a gift only made her delight that much more pronounced. Oh, how she adored this woman with all her heart.

The swept-up mechromancer returned the hug and kiss with the same fervor as they were delivered, cheeks already aglow from joy. Then Tina pulled away, and Gaige watched as the edge of those hidden garments was flashed, bringing the hue of her cheeks from a light dusting to a full flush, her bright green eyes widened immensely. “O-ooohhh, yeah...um, let’s get the gifts before we get to that kind of present. I want that one to last.”

Gaige comes up with a long wrapped box and a shorter yet taller, holding it out to her wife with a grin. "Happy Mercenary Day, babe! It's not quite as strong as you wanted, but it's as good as I could do with the tools I could get my hands on here." Once unwrapped, the long box would open to reveal what looked to be a paintball shotgun jury rigged to fire the ammo provided in the smaller box- about two-dozen homemade cherry bombs. They could make more as needed, surely.

Tina pretty much lights up seeing the jury rigged shotty, looking over the ammunition with a keen eye. Yeah she'd be able to remake these easy, in a big ass batch. Hell, cherry bomb bullets were some of her first way back when.

Gauge in turn is scooped into a squeezing hug and kisses hard n deep.

"I love it! I got two gifts for ya and one for Deathtrap. Of course..." she pulled away, flashing the lines of some cheeky lingerie under the chunky, fuzzy, and somewhat 'ugly' scagsmas sweater to Gaige "ya can get whichever ya want, babe. We got all night."

failedprince​:

Cue polite applause. Pure talent like that should absolutely be rewarded with praise. The genuineness of the praise might be dubious, but you wouldn’t know it from the manner of the person clapping.

A blissful sigh at the definitely genuine applause, followed by a brief laugh. “Thanks, but no need to applaud. You just don’t really get the chance to find out that kind of talent if you’re a nerd in a high school hierarchy run by a rich alpha bitch who’s got it out for you specifically.”  Arms folded across her chest, eyes glancing up at the sky in thought.  “Man, I wonder what Marcie would say if she could see me now...

Also if she weren’t, y’know. Dead.”

[anarchyengaiged]

eusyram​:

Mary Sue’s persistent need to upstage her peers rises yet again!

“Hmph, not bad!”

“But if you think just settling for one marriage is enough, then you’re too wet behind the ears!” 

Well, this was an unexpected addition. She wasn’t even being totally serious, but with this...she was going to have to give a serious answer, right?

“Hey, hey- quality over quantity. I’d totally be down for finding someone else to tie the knot with if Tina was cool with it and we both liked them like that, but I’m more than happy having just one badass babe of a wife instead of two.”

[anarchyengaiged]

“I baaaasically had no experience dating when I first arrived on Pandora, and didn’t have any time to do that there...then I arrived here, and now I’m married, so...

Guess I didn’t need any experience. Just pure talent right here.”
