Eurasia - Skydeck

A park resides at the top of this station, which is as open to space as any place can get. Massive transparisteel windows cover this area, and pleasant grass and trees are maintained by careful gardening staff. It's very pretty, and not as dark as one might expect for a place that's exposed to space.

Jet Stingray [RF] Junk Man [Casual] [RM]

Lift Down <LD>: Eurasia - Empire Central Square

Junk Man

Standing here is a really tall robot. 11 feet tall to be specific. That's why it's probably not a human. Although it's dressed casually in large white t-shirt and bluejeans, which seem to be made to fit his massive size and robot feet, which happen to be grey, like the rest of him. Covering him like a cloak is a large black jacket, and completeing the look is a large baseball cap. It all says casual.... save for the fact that it's an 11 foor tall robot. Of course, if you get a real good look at his face, you might recognize him as Junk Man, but it could just be an industerial robot on a break. Of course, he does seem to be dropping nuts and bolts and various other parts all over the place....

Junk Man is up here, in all casualness. He likes coming up here sometimes, because it's all quiet.... and it reminds him of the WilyStar. Man, that was a fit of engineering. He ponders on the past, as he sits on a bench.

Jet Stingray is in what he always wears, not the sort to change or wear clothes often. He is a robot with armor for skin. Why would he need it? He comes up, with the goals of looking for chicks and if he couldn't find any to flirt with, to be all peaceful and semi-angsty. Nope, no chicks. Angst time. He moves to a bench somewhat close to Junk's bench, just sighing as he takes a seat.

Jet Stingray has disconnected.

Rigger arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Rigger has arrived.

Walking from the lift is one of those people who's been appearing more and more on Eurasia and elsewhere lately, a yet-to-be-identified teen, unmistakeable because of his dyed hair. You'd think he'd just be one of millions, but there's something about this guy you just don't forget. Today he wears a black, long-sleeved rough synth-leather jacket with grey epaulets at the shoulder. An old-style olive drab messenger-type bag is slung over his left shoulder, and oddly enough, there's a barely noticeable thin black cord extending from it, seemingly coming from an earpiece or two that the guy's wearing. He makes his way over to the nearest window, cobalt eyes briefly scanning the crowd in front of him as he does so. .(Slow day. Not many people here. Good. I need to be alone.)o.

Kalinka arrives from the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Kalinka has arrived.

It certainly seems to be the day for people coming up here to enjoy the solitude. Which entirely defeats the purpose of coming here for solitude in the first place... But these things happen. Rigger steps out of the lift with her hands clasped behind her. She ignores the girl by her side a few moments to look around at the view offered by this place.

Kalinka follows right along with Rigger. "Oh good, it does not seem too crowded up here tonight," she remarks after a cursory glance around.

Yep, it's always nice to be alone in a crowd. Junk Man takes out a book that was hidden on his form, and opens it up. 'Robot Repair for Recreation and Profit.' He starts reading, eyes jerking from line to line as he reads. He seems to notice not the new arivals, although some may recognize his tell-tale trail of bolts and bits that traces his path.

The gold-haired teen reaches his destination, the nearest window, and...just looks up. What can he say? Saigama-Tengu just...loves the stars. Something keeps bringing him back up here to look at them. Is it the solitude? The beauty? Who knows what lurks in this Master's mind? In any case, the wires from his ears sway slightly in the air conditioning of the station, and Saigama-Tengu continues to look up for a second more before he makes a 180 degree turn to plop against the wall/window itself, and lean. There's just this..haggard expression on his face. Tired. Perturbed. Yes. 'Angst' is the word I'm looking for here. With a bit of disdain the blue-eyed teen scans the crowd, and scowls briefly. (More people. More stupid people. Chikusho!)o.

Rigger nods at Kalinka's remark as she lowers a hand down on the teen's shoulder. "Yeah. Pefect for a chat. Come on, let's walk this way." Her head tilts in a random direction as she begins to lead the girl away from the lift with a solemn expression. "You know, I spent some time with Derek recently... He had alot to say."

Kalinka, remarkably enough, remains unruffled. Either this is her very practiced attempt at 'poker face', or the matter really -doesn't- bother her all that much. She follows Rigger right along, away from the lift and down toward one of the tables on the observation deck area. "You got to spend time with him? You are so lucky. And yeah, he does talk a lot."

Junk Man continues to read, as his eyes scan the page. He chortals at a part, and keeps reading. "Man, this g-guys a classic..."

Rigger(Rig) pages: Despite Rigger being in one of her 'ready to chew Kali out' kind of moods, Kalinka doesn't respond in a defensive way. "Yeah, I suppose so..." As Junk Man comes walking over carelessly, Kalinka speaks up. "Please, sir, do try and watch where you are going."

Junk Man stops, and looks over to where the sound came from. "Oh, s-sorry, miss." He's then distracted by Rigger, and not in that way. "Oh.... hello there." He says, with a sneer on his face. "Hit any sporting e-equipment s-stores latly?" He waits for a response.

Rigger plants her hands on her hips and smiles broadly back at Junk Man without a hint of backing down. "Why, didn't get enough soccer the last time we stopped by to play? I'm sure something could be arranged."

Junk Man sneers. "Hrmph. I could kill you right n-now with relitive ease. But I'm not like that. I'm especailly not the o-one to hurl soccer balls with n-nails in them across Africa where children can g-get hurt." He looks down at little Kalinka when he says that. "Just think of that the n-n-n-next time you pull a stunt like that the next t-time you 'heros' try to pull something like that." He turns on his heels, and goes to relocate himself away from the two.

Kalinka glares at the mysterious junk-man as he begins walking away. "Rigger, who is that??" she insists -- apparently, she has a good idea already.

"I would *really* look elsewhere when threatening to kill people, you pile of bolts." Rigger bites back more in response to the look he gave Kalinka than anything. "And if there are kids out in that part of Africa I'd really have to question why. It's no worse than what some of you have done in NeoTokyo." But, he's leaving, which is fine with her so she simply crosses her arms over her chest in annoyance. "A Master of course. Nevermind, Kalinka."

Kalinka nods, giving Junk's retreating back the 'finger' as he leaves. "Thought so. Good for you, to stick up like that."

Jet Stingray blinks as he watches the Son of Wily move away from the pair of girls. "You two alright there?" he calls from the short distance seperating the two, looking over his shoulder to get a decent look at them.

Blahblah, chatter, Junk leaves now, Jet comes over, ta da. Current situation.

Kalinka is, in the meantime, kind of in the background as Rigger and Jet talk. She's grinning widely, pacing around as she gabs with someone via tightbeam.

Junk Man enters the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Junk Man has left.

Kalinka sends a radio transmission.

"Sonata? Not really... She's not my type really. I need a girl a bit more free than that though." Jet offers with a happy tone still found in his voice. "I was just doing the whole seating around, the whole 'how the heck did I end up here' sort of thing. Nothing major here."

Kalinka receives a radio transmission from Bowie.

Kalinka sends a radio transmission.

Kalinka paces around, gabbing quietly and giving the occasional giggle.

Kalinka receives a radio transmission.

Rigger glances aside at the radio-chattering Kalinka with a small shake of her head. It gives her time to speak to Jet at least. ...Yay. She looks back to the Repliforcer with a solemn nod. "Eh, too bad. Kid could use someone a bit more serious about relationships in her life. I swear Zero's got the hots for her but of course his track record isn't the best."

Hmm. Remember that guy in the corner, by the window? Yeah, the golden-haired teen with the black-n-grey jacket, staring up at the stars and with...apparently something plugged in his ears. Earpieces and whatnot. Well, he's quit glaring at people and has started a casual stroll across the gardens of the Skydeck. No. Not in. Through. He's very calmly walking through petunias and flowerbeds, mostly staying on the path, but mostly wandering in a straight line. Eyes closed, head partly hung and hands in pockets, the teen walks in Kalinka's general direction, glum expression still on his face.

Kalinka sends a radio transmission.

Kalinka finally gets off the radio with whomever she was chatting with, grinning cheerfully. She peers at the teen coming in her direction -- why? Well, she's a teen, and she's always on the lookout for cute boys. Always.

Jet Stingray shrugs faintly, keeping an eye on Kalianka as well for a moment. "Well, I'd also want to date a girl that is reliable... And Sonata is that. I guess I shouldn't judge Sonata based on the way she treats work. As for Zero, my track record isn't so hot either... At least according to some of the people I've talked too."

Rigger shrugs indifferently. She hasn't let Kalinka out of her sight either, but she does try to keep from seeming like she's watching. "No, it's not. But I remember when I first met you and how upset you were about Iris not dating you anymore. You might be a goof but you're serious when you do start dating someone."

The teen, head still kind of hung, keeps walking along slowly. Listening to music, most likely. He walks along for a while, nearing the young Cossack, and then, finally, he opens his eyes and looks up, as if by coincidence. The first thing in sight? Kalinka. He stops a few feet away, and just looks, a neutral, placid, 'I'm-just-here' kind of look on his face.

Kalinka grins sweetly at the sullen teen. "Hi!" she greets. "I do like your hair...it is cool."

<O-Master insanity ensues. ^<^>

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man snaps his fingers. "Right, well. I think I'll go flirt with Kalinka. Now /there's/ thumbing my nose at death!

<O-Master> The Gauge: 9/97! Gravity Man says, "How are you on WHO twice?"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "Oh boy! That sounds great."

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man gasps. Kalinka said she likes my hair. ^<^

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker is Fachead. Skillz!

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker laughs at Tengu.

<O-Master> The Gauge: 3/71! Gravity Man says, "Kalinka said she likes my Gauge."

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "Get her number, man! ;>"

<O-Master> The Gauge: 7/67! Gravity Man lies through his teeth.

<O-Master> Shadow Man says, "I think Kalinka said she liked by scarf."

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker kinda lost the chance of any compliments after I nearly slapped her around in Sydney. But, hey.

<O-Master> Shadow Man says, "But she was tied and gagged at the time, so I'm not sure."

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man says, "Will do, Enker. Plus she said I was cute. Too bad I couldn't ICly hear her. :)"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker laughs!

<O-Master> Pharaoh Man hangs a sign around Enker that says 'Wife Beater' ;)

<O-Master> Clown Man says, "Kalinka said she likes my Monkey. o.o"

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man laughs, laughs, laughs.

<O-Master> Pharaoh Man says, "Making a totally gross assumption that Enker beats women.,"

<O-Master> Shadow Man eyes Clown Man...

<O-Master> Pharaoh Man says, "Nice, Clown."

<O-Master> The Gauge: 1/97! Gravity Man hangs a sign around Roll that says "Beat Wifer."

<O-Master> The Gauge: 1/57! Gravity Man says, "Y'know, cause there's that bird..."

<O-Master> Clown Man holds up Sideshow. You sickos. :)

<O-Master> The Gauge: 1/71! Gravity Man is funny, damn you.

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker puts on a wife beater, accordingly.

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man laughs.

The teen just looks for another second, and then a confused look creeps across his face. "Huh? Hang on a sec," he says quietly, before reaching up to pull two earpieces out of his ears. For a half-second there's a loud, tinny burst of hardcore rock before he reaches down into his bag and presses a button. He looks back up at Kalinka, a hint of a smile on his face. "What'd you say?" he asks, cobalt eyes scanning her face.

Kalinka giggles. "I said I do like your hair! That is awesome, where did you get it done?" She clears her throat -- perhaps feeling a little bit self-conscious of her fairly obvious Russian accent, which she's tried to wish away more times than she can count. "*Ahem* And I see, you are listening to Mjolnirr's Bloody Hammer. They are EXCELLENT group."

"I'm not sure I want to get that serious again..." Jet offers weakly. "Everytime I've tried, it's gone up in my face. Sure, I wouldn't mind a serious relationship, but I either get dumped, they disappear, or I find out they are Maverick or crazy."

The teen just sort of smiles. "Aw, thanks. I...did it myself, actually. In the sink." He runs his right hand through his hair, ruffling it a little. "I'm surprised it came out so well... But uh, yeah." He looks down at his feet for a second, steadying himself, before he locks his eyes on Kalinka. "Actually, I was listening to this band called 404. But Bloody Hammer is on this mix, too. They're great...I like 404 better. Ever hear of them?" He smiles again. (That's right. Put on the old Tengu charm. Maybe it won't get you killed like it did Astro. But then again. I'm not a loser. So. My odds are better. HA!)o.

Rigger turns her attention towards the two seeming 'teens' to watch carefully. Much like a bodyguard might watch their client, or a vulture might watch something they hope will drop dead soon so the feast can begin. ...Typical motherly instincts. Ah, how refreshing. "Nngn. Right. You're too young to give upon that just yet, Jet. There are plenty of girls out there who aren't crazy or Mavericks." She thinks.

Kalinka shakes her head, her blonde hair wisping this way and that with each shake. "No, I have not! Are they...cool?" Obviously, this is an important prerequisite. She locks her gaze with the other boy, as if demanding an answer.

Jet Stingray chuckles. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Rigger... Maybe I will give it a try. As for Sonata, I guess I could give her a try. Believe me, getting the girls to want me is never the problem." That said, the Stingray of Love gives a wink to Rigger. Burned, yes... Jet is. But does that effect his ego? Doesn't seem to.

The teen grins. "Yeah! You oughta hear 'em some time! They play up here. That's why I'm up here a lot. Part of it, anyway." He seems to be really into the conversation now. Uber casual. Smooth, Saigama-Tengu isn't. But he seems to have hit a chord here. (Yippy-freaking-skippy. She likes me. What now?)o. "A couple friends of mine play in it. Man. I wish they'd let me sing sometime..." A chuckle. "But lemme tell ya...the other reason I come up here?" Saigama-Tengu pauses to look away, toward the windows, then back toward Kali. He takes a hand out of his pocket, inches closer and points out the window. "The stars. Aren't they just...beautiful?" He seems absolutely sincere. And somehow innocent...

Rigger smirks faintly at Jet's ego trip and she gives a slight nod. "Hey now, I didn't say Sonata had a thing for you. Just seemed like you kinda like her... So worth a shot maybe." She shrugs and looks to the two again with a small frown. "That girl has had more boyfriends in two months than I've had in my life."

<Global News Network> This is Mahat Isonmahead, reporting for the Transjordan News Netowkr. Moments ago, a small supply and fuel depot controlled by Maverick Hunters was attacked, close to the border with Israel, by a yet to be identified force. However, they have wasted no time in quartering off the area as they attack. We can only hope that reinforcements arrive in time to save these brave reploids as myself and my news team stand by at a safe distance, doing nothing to help as we watch them brutally slaughtered by a superior attack force.

Kalinka bites her lip, and looks out the window. "Yeah, they -are-," she says with quiet contemplation...not edging any closer to her companion, but at the same time not moving away as he edges closer, either. "I come up here, sometimes, to wonder if there is...you know, infinity, or if it does end somewhere. Oh, by the way, I am Kali...what is your name?"

Jet Stingray laugsh. "Well, if I tried to go after each girl that catch my attnetion... Well, let's just say it wouldn't be good." He is about to say more, but he pauses as a news report gets patched into him. "That doesn't sound good. You got that Rigger?"

Rigger is already rubbing at the side of her head as she did apparently hear the radio report. And apparently it's not something she's very pelased with, either. "Yeah. Not much I can do though. I'm not a combat unit." ...Or a 'unit' at all really, but she was so used to the term.

The golden-haired teen takes a step back after listening to Kalinka for a second, his face also blank in contemplation for a moment. "Yeah...me too..." he says, oddly distant in a way that couldn't be faked, at least not by Tengu. He then turns back from looking at the stars to look back at Kalinka. "Saigama Inuwashi," he says happily with a broad smile. "You can call me Sai, if you want, Kali." His smile tightens a little as he sticks a hand out, offering a handshake. "It's really nice to meet you." Saigama-Tengu tries desperately to ignore his own GNN feed. (ARGH! They always have to do it when--)o. Otherwise, Sai doesn't seem to notice the GNN, or Rigger or Jet, for that matter. He is utterly focused on Kalinka.

[OOC] Rigger says, "Gee she just dated Sai.."

[OOC] Tengu Man laughs.

[OOC] Kalinka says, "Silo. 8)"

[OOC] Rigger says, "Ooh. Right, right."

[OOC] Rigger knew it had an 's'

Jet Stingray nods slowly. "Don't worry... I'll be fighting there myself. If you will excuse me.... I'll let you resume your babysitting." He gets up and stretches with a sigh.

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man is Saigama Inuwashi. Sai.

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "...Tengu, are you putting the mack on Kalinka?"

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man says, "Not yet. ^<^"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker tchs. =>

<O-Master> Shaun says, "But she's like, 12 or something"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "So's Tengu. =>"

<O-Master> Shaun says, "oh"

<O-Master> Shaun says, "Well then, carry on."

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man is /not/ 12!

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man says, "And Kali is 15!"

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man shakes a fist.

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "Of /course/ you're not, Tengu."

<O-Master> The Red Puddle that was Sword Man says, "Tengu's only 5 or so. :>"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "Now go to your room and play with your G.I. Joes."

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man runs away crying. *doorslam*

<O-Master> Guts Man says, "Who needs to play with the G.I.Joes when you can roleplay as one?!"

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man says, "Kalinka understands me! ^<~"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker knew you'd pick up on that, Guts. =>

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker laughs at Tengu.

Kalinka shakes hands with Saigama, grinning sweetly. "Well it is good to meet you, too. Say, do you skate at all? We should take one Saturday to go skating. I know some rail tricks. We could turn some loud, GOOD music, the more rocking the more better! And then, we could...skate!" She smiles brilliantly, hoping that her English isn't too choppy -- this, indeed, looks promising!

Rigger runs a hand back through her hair and gives a curt nod to Jet. "I'll see about getting triage stuff ready. Yell if you need a hand with that," she offers to the Repliforcer. Then she turns to Kalinka, "Hey, Kali. Work calls. Hop to."

Sai grins back, truly enthused. "Sure! I..don't really skate, but...I can learn. If you'd teach me." He also seems not to take notice of her choppy English, either. Just sort of overlooks it. Saigama chuckles at the loud music comment. "Yeah! The louder the better." Sai grins again, and then something flashes in his eyes. "Ah! The time!" He looks down at his hand, pulling his jacket back to reveal a timepiece. "Ah! Chi--" He pauses, realizing he's cursing. "Uh, sorry. Excuse my French...the time! I gotta go, really sorry, nice to meet you, Kali!" He takes a few frantic steps backward, and then starts to run off toward the lift, waving. "Bye!" And again Rigger goes unnoticed.

Jet Stingray nods with a "Got it!" And with the use of his foot jets is flying off to do his hero thing.

Jet Stingray enters the Eurasia - Empire Central Square.

Jet Stingray has left.

Kalinka pauses, phone in hand. "I was just telling Sasha about you! I thought your RP was totally cool...and Sasha's like, well if it was THAT good, just give a +cookie already!" She shrugs, handing you a +cookie. "Can't argue with -that- logic. Here."

[OOC] Rigger is always unnoticed. *shakes a fist* Bah! Men! Baka.

You hand Kalinka a cookie!

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "And make sure not to stab her in the eye with that big honker of yours."

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "...your nose, that is. o_o"

[OOC] Tengu Man puffs out his chest and extends his nose. "Onna! You are of no significance!" ^<~

You hand Rigger a cookie!

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man says, "..."

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker ._.

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man breaks out laughing.

<O-Master> The Red Puddle that was Sword Man says, "Dude.....Enker. >.>"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker says, "It was an honest mistake!"

<O-Master> The Gauge: 9/67! Gravity Man says, "Bad Enker."

<O-Master> The Gauge: 9/67! Gravity Man says, "Sure it was."

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man coughs.

<O-Master> The Gauge: 3/63! Gravity Man says, "Bad Enker."

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker ._.

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man says, "Oookay. I gotta go now. :)"

<O-Master> Secret-Secret Origami Man! Tengu Man says, "Keep your thoughts to yourself, Enker. ^<~"

<O-Master> ()<±±", Enker laughs.

Kalinka sighs, as Sai dashes out. (Crud!! I didn't get his number! Well, maybe I will see him back up here...) Turning back toward Rigger, she winks. "Okay! Let us get going...hey, do you know that Derek gave me a new Gypsy name? He said I am 'Sarah Verde'...that is Green Sarah...also, I am a mariposa. That means butterfly...like a free, free spirit."
