"Wooooah, so this is The Nexus?" Wrench stands there O O as he takes in the plaza, and the place his best buddy Marcus about. While his bestest bud goes to find them a place to stay, Wrench is just going to find himself a place to have a seat. "I mean I was told about this, but I didn't believe my friend." With a laptop in his hand, he places the sticker-coated laptop on the cushion besides him.

- - "I never thought I'd ever cross into another dimension and sit on a couch before. This is on some cosmic levels of cool, and I got lots of words that I can describe how I'm feeling." Wrench reclines back in his chair with his hand going to rest on the knees of his pants. O O - ? ?

"Questions. Questions. What's the worst question anyone has ever asked you before?"

"You'll be sorry..." Wrench waggles his finger in the air at Adia, but he is just going to leave it there. He is weird. Very weird. But he is very happy to switch the subject from the animals to Marcus and his beloved 3d printer.

<3 <3 his mask lights up with glee as he takes hold of the cup, and he lifts the bottom of his mask up just a smidgen so he can take a sip of his coffee. "Just how I likes it. And don't worry, I'll pay you back. That's if you don't mind having Earth money." He slips his mask back down to cover his mouth again.

"Yeah, he's my partner in crime, like serious crime. To think of all the mischief we get into together." He puts his coffee off to the side, and he clasps his hands together. "And he's such a dream boat too!" And boy is Marcus going to get it when it comes to not warning him about the dangerous animals that live here. But that is then and this is the now.

"Well when we get a new hacker space setup here, I'll be glad to let you play with my 3d printer. And I'll even show you the dildo gun of death!"

A small, defensive frown appears on her face, but she doesn't say anything. It's one thing to be afraid of animals, it's another to foist that phobia onto her. She looks over at the three pokémon, to make sure they're doing okay. Bucky is still glaring at Wrench, but he's keeping his distance. Ethel has decided this is a good time for a nap. Sarah is also lying down, her head resting on her paws and her eyes big and sad over the fact that no one is playing with her.

Adia returns her attention to Wrench. She's relieved to see that it is indeed a mask he's wearing. One can never be entirely sure in the Nexus. "He told me a little bit about what he does... so you're trying to expose corruption, too?" She raises her eyebrows a little at the dreamboat comment and takes a sip of her coffee.

And nearly spits it out at his offer. "Um..." She clears her throat. "Thanks. I'll pass on the... on the gun." She shifts awkwardly in her seat. "Marcus told me he's going to make part of the space an arcade. I think that'll be a nice addition to the Nexus."

He can see just fine through the fine mesh that covers his eyes or perhaps there is more to the technology between the Wrench mask than he wants to tell. It seems to be in'sync with his moods, so who knows how it works besides Wrench himself. He lifts the bottom part up again to take another long drink of his coffee.

"So delish. And you don't want to see high explosive dildos? Girl you don't know what you're missing! And the looks on people's faces when they come popping out of an equally phallic looking gun is going to be priceless! And I'll have to break it out once I'm done with the finishing touches, and a few shits and giggles." ~ ~ Wrench sounds completely tickled by having a chance to show off the new weapon, and he hasn't exactly given much thought on if it will work in this place or not. "... Maybe I'll just turn it into a fireworks gun. Because you know the field of anti violence."

Nodding, Wrench knows all about the plans to build an arcade as their hacker space. "I was hoping for an actual cave, but Marcus insisted on something with a lot less dank. But for an inter-dimensional bridge between worlds, I wonder if we can get some top of the line stuff. Like a holo-deck."

The emoticon eyes are the only saving grace to the mask, as far as Adia is concerned. She doesn't like that she can't see his face... or maybe she's put off by the talk of explosive dildos. Probably both. What is this guy, twelve? "You can't hurt anyone with a gun, I don't know if that'll prevent it from firing at all, though."

Watching him drink his coffee, she realizes she never answered him about the cost. It's tempting to give him some arbitrary price. Some money would be nice... but no, that would dishonest. She feels bad for even thinking of it. "That coffee machine is free, by the way. It makes tea and hot chocolate, too."

At least the subject has shifted to something more pleasant. Adia takes a sip of her own coffee before responding. "I don't think I've ever seen a holo-deck here, but there is a lot of holographic merchandise in the shopping district."

Wrench never got past twelve, and he seems quite content with his choice in life. And so long as chicks dig the mask and aren't freaked out by it, Wrench is a-okay. "I'll have to try it, maybe Marcus will let me experiment on him." He rubs his hands together with some mock evil glee. "And I'll get back to you with my test results."

He eyes the coffee machine and he oooos. "I'm not really into tea. But I'll never turn down a cup of hot chocolate with a shitload of marshmallows, or a cup of coffee flavored sugar."

... O O Wrench is almost dancing in his seat at the mention of holographic merchandise. "This place is the most awesome place I've ever visited. Then again I don't leave San Fran much, and if I do it is for another place with lots of concrete."

She pales at the thought of this trigger-happy hooligan shooting a gun at Marcus and frantically waves her hands. "Hey, hey. No. That is a really bad idea. We've had the AV field get disabled at least twice now, and sometimes it'll drop out if it thinks the violence is consensual. Marcus could get hurt, or worse. Just take my word for it, or... or shoot it at a wooden dummy or something. There's a firing range around here if you're that desperate."

It's not like Marcus probably can't take care of himself, especially since he's probably used to his friend's antics by now, but Adia is not going to keep quiet about gun safety. Not after what's lived through.

Wrench may have found someone he is going to enjoy messing with, as he starts to rub his hands together. And all he needs to do cackle like a villain, but he doesn't go all that far. "But if it's working now, and Marcus doesn't approve being blown apart with a plastic-shaped dick, wouldn't this shield prevent him from being blown up?"

Not that Wrench would actually shoot Marcus with anything lethal. They're partners in making crime, and Wrench would be devastated if his buddy got hurt.

"Or does this field of no violence have a sick sense of humor and a mind of its own?"

This guy is not taking her warning seriously. More than that, he seems to be actively trying to aggravate her. It makes her look away unhappily. "No, it -- no, I don't think the AV field is sentient. I'm just saying it's not entirely reliable."

Perhaps sensing her displeasure, Bucky resumes his creepy bird stare, fluttering to land on a closer vending machine and glaring down at the weird man in the mask. Are you hassling her friend, bro?
