"You know right down the street from two people we worked with had a cafe just this comfortable. Though I can't recall them having any kind of animals in it..."

Still even Grace had to admit that they definitely added a bit of that "good atmosphere" many places tend to miss. Having good food was one thing but Ben always mentioned to her that how a place presented itself was just as important. And while the mechanic didn't really have a stake in the cute animal race she couldn't argue that they were pretty adorable.

"...Sorry got carried away in my own thoughts again! Do you have any little cakes already? An acquaintance of mine said I should stop here for one that'd blow my mind."

"I can't say I ever had a "gang leader" need help with their own vehicles. No offense but I thought you guys had a whole department of people or something to help out with this stuff..."

If nobody else from her industry was gong to show up then Grace knew getting to work on her own was a surefire way to keep her boredom in check. Still when it was only her at the helm then things were bound to go in a completely different direction then anyone could anticipate. Like today's adventure with a seemingly normal looking gentleman. Although as the conversation progressed they both began to realize just how not normal either of the two of them were.

"But if you have plenty of rides stocked up in this city I'm more then willing to give them a quick look. Can't say if it'll completely help or not though."

"Marian....what an interesting name." Something that seemed much more personal compared to any other kind of designation. Then again she didn't know anything about what android or robots when through in her world. Things could've been working out for the better or the worse.

"Name's Grace. Back where I'm a mechanic who works on plenty of autonomous machines. Though I'd say from a distance your tech is almost a bit too better then anything we've made. You have any friends here? More uhhh NIkke's did you call them?"

Everything the other had said is merely why she doesn't get it. 'Marvel for anyone'? She doesn't get that too. Marian's mind is of a learning toddler who is slow. But still, she wanted grape soda but alas, she doesn't know what grapes looked liked. Only thing she knew is eating anything, lewds, and being drunk. Literally what those three taught her.

A funny experience of schooling, also sad that she's not a Nikke.

"Marian." Simply said her name, because she lacked learning manners as she was an airheaded buffoon herself.

"Your car..." There was always a sneaking suspicion it was something else entirely. Especially a vehicle she wasn't going to constantly see 24/7 or ridden so wildly by whatever antics she got up to. Still a machine was a machine, which meant still giving it the old college try.

"Well I'm here already aren't I? Might as well see if I can spot anything instead of you dragging it out."

She did feel bad that their leader was almost always somehow strapped for cash. How they all got by was beyond her but it seemed like they were all in high spirits regardless. So maybe it wasn't that important of a thought right now...

"How long have you had this car? Or if you bought it off someone how long did they have it."

"Oh nothing major! I wasn't sure if I should go to you or Enzo, but I wanted someone to take a look at my car and I don't have a lot of money..."

Nicole seemed a bit hesitant to say the last part, a little bashful over her situation. Her car was parked at the entrance of the construction yard.

"It's been having acceleration issues. If you can't that is totally okay!"

[frostycoldironwitch]

It was only somewhat worrying to hear that information from someone so young. Really Grace couldn't even think of what she'd do if she went to sleep one day and woke up to someone close just up and disappearing. Searching would've been a fruitless effort but giving up was out of the question as well. Something to ponder later on that's for sure…

"Beats me wandering around aimlessly doesn't it? Besides I wouldn't want leave you hanging after an offer like that." More knowledge on everything here the better. Maybe something

"Name's Grace. It's lovely to meet you too Nier. Don't sell yourself too short alright? I'm sure you'll be able to tell me about the little things people don't notice here."

Nier's sigh comes from someplace deep in her chest. That sense of having so much and then losing it so quickly, even if you know you're bound to find it again is a familiar pain. It's almost too much to bear, especially for someone like her.

"They might show up someday... But then they might be gone again when you look for them next. That's just how it works around here..." she says, shaking her head. "But I hope you find whoever you're looking for..."

The woman's self-invite brings a small smile to Nier's face; it's nice to not have to try to get people's attention sometimes. "Eheh, if you really want to, I don't mind... I-I don't know if I'd be the best guide but... If you're new here, I don't mind helping if I can..."

She gives a short bow of her head, ears flicking. "My name is Nier... It's nice to meet you..."

"Oh Nicole there you are. Sorry I didn't see that you threw four more messages at me. Got too distracted helping sweat pea and someone else with a little mishap." A pretty big one but she doubted the "Agency CEO" really needed to know that much about her own work life.

"Now what did you need? I didn't get to read what you needed my help for but I'm here now."

"Might not beat food from home but I'd say it's a pretty good substitute all things considered." A small sandwich joint she knew Anton would be all over. But she could tell the winged individual needed at least something in their stomach. And it wouldn't hurt to get out of her own room for a little bit, especially when Grace still needed to pick up a few things.

"Any of them catch your eye? I know there's a bit too many options but if you aren't gonna eat a whole one we could split."

"Can't say I've ever heard of a Nikke before. But even if I haven't it's pretty hard to ignore the fact you'd be a marvel for anyone to look at back home!"

Grace knew she couldn't just ignore someone with such technological advancements compared to the androids back at home. While her experienced paled compared to her more expertise in self-control machines she'd be a fool to pass up an opportunity like this. That and she couldn't bear the sight of someone struggling to get a single soda from the vending machine.

"Your years ahead of anything we'd ever have access too. It's quite amazing really. You have a name dear?"

[frostycoldironwitch]

"Ah stop it your going to make me blush." She never thought she'd ever be complimented by a little pink ball of joy but there was a first time for everything. Sure it wasn't one of those bangboos but it worked just as well. Being an aspiring mechanic at that meant the two would no doubt be buddies in no time.

"Well I'm working on a little lad that needs a bit of a tune up. Sadly since I arrived here they didn't leave me anything but my clothes. So with tools I have to start fresh all over again."

"Ehehe! Thanks~ You look really cool, miss, poyo!" They gleefully look up and down at her, giving a nod, er, a shake even. Kirby doesn't mind being given compliments, and if then, they'd gave compliments back! Give back the love, ten times forwards!

"Ooooh! I see, I see... I'd usually have my own kit with me, but I didn't think I'd get brought here! What are you working on?"

"Ahhhh you and your right thought process. No surprise as to why everyone always goes to you two for advice." Even if what Belle said was basically common courtesy 101 she had to agree that nobody here knew about Belobog in the slightest bit. And even if they did there wasn't anyone like "Sweet Pea" or the others to back her up. For once in awhile Grace was on her own, as terrifying as that was to think of.

"Still makes you think right. It's all pretty similar like you said but with noHollows everyone would have a different mindset. No reason for defense systems, enforced plating, or any of that. You can just make what you want and go with it!"

💿 "Well... Yeah. But a lot of it is surprisingly close to what we're used to, isn't it? Feels like tech might have developed a little differently in a world without Hollows though." There were probably other reasons for it. Belle was a pro when it came to computer-related things, but she lacked Grace's knowledge in the field of mechanics.

"...I think you still need permission to do that, you know? I don't think anyone here is going to know anything about Belobog to know you're a trained professional."

"They'd probably get the wrong idea, is more my point." Especially with how Grace acted when it came to machines.

[frostycoldironwitch]

"Well aren't you the cutest little mechanic!" How else was anyone supposed to react seeing the little pink blob wander down the isle looking for tools. There were definitely "normal" ways but Grace wasn't exactly the most normal individual alive, be it for machines or situations like this.

"Looking for kits? They're a little further down this way if you wanted to follow me. I'm trying to pick something up myself for a fixup later on today."

@frostycoldironwitch

While their buddy wasn't with them at the moment, Kirby had thought about them often. With as close the two were and how much Kirby took care of it, it's no wonder that Kirby would go shopping.

What they were shopping, you'd ask? Stuff for mechanical robots! They hoped to at least maybe give a nice good polish to Robobobo…bo…bot! They sometimes weren't sure how to pronounce the name properly but - Kirby was intent to care for it as much they could.

"Hm… I wonder what I should get. Maybe a toolkit?"

[frostycoldironwitch]

"Ah I get that. I would've sworn whoever brought me here would have at least brought someone else i knew along. But since nobody else has shown up in my phone looks like I'm the only gal so far."

A couple extra hands wouldn't hurt seeing how delicate Belobog's machines were to begin with. Even if Grace could technically handle it all by herself having someone else to share in the accomplishments with and doing it for a cause made the experience all the more better.

"Well if you aren't busy I don't mind wandering around. With no work to do I really gotta get out and find other things to explore. Even if I'd rather be cooped up working on my little babies."

"A-ah, hm... You're not the first one to say something like that... Well, not the living, breathing thing, but..."

Nier had heard similar sentiments echoed many a time; were ears like hers really so unusual in other worlds? So many people reacted with shock or surprise, it would be like if you looked at the sky and were amazed at how it was blue. Then again, she's seen a good deal of unusual things in this city as well, like phones and televisions. Maybe the city is just weird for everyone.

"I guess you could say that... They were here in this city once, but then we were separated. And now I'm here, but they're not... Maybe someday they'll come back, but- O-oh, did you mean waiting right now? Not really..."

The city has changed since she's been here, and now she's trying to find a new place to become her usual haunt. "I'm just wandering, really..."

[frostycoldironwitch]

"Well I wouldn't say hatched like an actual egg. But if what you told me about these "Gears" are correct then I think its safe to say you might've been constructed the same way."

One might say Grace was a tad bit incompetent when it came to any talks of love. Anyone who actually knew her could say the engineer was both "single as hell" and didn't know "a single thing" about it. But damn if she didn't try to explain it to others who were equally incompetent at it as her.

"But I'd say there's a chance. Though I've never heard of someone managing to move themselves into a more humany body."

"A...baby?" He gets on the ground, crawling near the thing that this woman called a baby. Baiken did say that he'd be blown away once he actually figured out the truth behind babies.

"Oh! I get it. So, I hatched from one of these? It's pretty neat that it crawls around on its own. Whoa...Is that why Gears are called Gears?"
