Time for a big ol' Nexus Block party

[sumarusfinest]

On a sleepy summer morning a wonderful smell begins to waft throughout the Nexus. For those familiar with this place there can only be one explanation but for those new faces to the nexus this may be a strange thing: seeing so many people flocking toward the sweet and savory scents perfuming the Nexus.

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several carafes of coffee, a myriad of pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

Meet and Greet

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is. It's always satisfying to put one of these on and see the throngs of different people stuck in line together to get their food and find a place to sit among the tables and couches nearby.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? I've got more than enough here for everyone so please mingle among yourselves or feel free to ask me anything you'd like."


((OOC: This thread is ALL ABOUT threadjacking and hopping. I encourage folks to tag on each other's comments and mingle rather than to reply only to me. This is a huge opportunity to have your characters interact with people they wouldn't have talked to before. Branch out! Meet new people! Scheme new schemes! Steal the last chocolate croissant!))

It's definitely an odd occurrence, which is why Blaze wants to be sure she has pictures. Not every day a bot gets to play junior mad science experiment. And hey, it's more fun than waiting for something to happen under her watch.

Besides, Ghost likes the kid and he is pretty cute, all bent over his work so deadly serious. It is life-or-death technology, of course. Serious is appropriate.

She takes the PINpoint and dashes off down the street, putting a good few hundred meters between them before she gives the others a wave and yells "Incoming!"

Blip! And she's back in their space, patting herself up and down to check everything's in order. This time, however, it all seems to have gone to the right places. "Hey, how do I look?"

In turn, there's something downright inspiring and motivating to see any kind of adult figure showing so much enthusiasm for Peter's work and a willingness to help. To be Extra in their help, even. The little Ghost twirls and bobs in the air and Peter's not sure what all that body language means but if the bot seems like it's alright with this then that's probably a good thing, right?

But there's Blaze-37 in all her armor and glory right where Peter programmed the PINpoint to take her and his smile beams excitedly up at her.

"Great! You look great! I-I mean, everything looks to be alright this time. You feel alright?"

Her boredom aside, Peter's doing some good and useful work here. So many people depend on those PINpoints to get out of danger, to get home... and to get away from home, sometimes. They're durable, but they're not indestructible. It's easy to see how a damaged PINpoint could be disaster for someone and if this kid can work on techniques for putting them back together then both bots can get behind that.

Blaze rolls her shoulders and flexes her arms a bit, then tilts her head down at him. Ghost is already scanning her again. "Feels good to me! What do you say, Ghost?"

"Much better."

"All right, then! Second destination. I'll be right back." Time to blip over to the other set of co-ordinates and back, so Ghost can confirm that looks fine too.

"I think we can say this one is safe to use."
