ANTI-SENSE
Originally- this was supposed to be a conference call, including both Heat and Sanbu, but decided to keep the meetups separate. First she met up with Sanbu, now it was Heats turn! This was actually a bit more late than she planned on it being...but the day was interesting on the planet earth and she just sort of had a reason not to postpone it any longer. Though tracking down Heat was kind of apart of the problem, with him being more of automaton than anything- tracking him by scent or rather energy alone was nigh impossible without one of those devices- and Ghetti didn't like those very much, primarily from how hard they made her job.
Finding Heat was basically luck, or maybe they were drawn towards each other...really she had just looked in the area that she last spoken to him and eventually saw the form and figure she couldn't really mistake for anyone else- even if it hadn't been Heat, surely it would have to be someone related to him in some way. Tracking him down from above the buildings, Ghetti flew down to the surface of the earth- with some heart shaped card in her hand. "Heat! You are one hard guy to track down- do you have one of those phone-things?" Ghetti greeted the android with open conversation.
"Eh- I don't even have one so I guess it doesn't matter- anyway!" She tugged on his coat to get him to lower his head down to her level- or at least close to hers. "Like I told Sanbu, I actually wanted to talk to both of you about this topic at the same time...but I decided it was better if it were split between you two- dunno why, I just got the feeling it'd make more sense." Ghetti shrugged before remembering the card in her hands. "Oh- yeah! take this and open it!" Upon opening it- Heat would find a long sentence talking about his eyes- then a particular sentence at the end claiming him to be a 'valentine'. Ghetti waited patiently with her arms crossed behind her back, awaiting his reaction before saying anything more.

Heat's PL: 43,350 (Anti-Aura) Heat was indeed a very difficult Android to find. His artificial ki meant he couldn't have his energy signature tracked by normal means, and his lack of a home address meant he was always wandering around from place to place, city to city, region to region. Heat was recently, however. The same calming, serene beach that he and Ghetti had met, and where he bumped into that strange red majin, Sanbu, once more. He hadn't come back there out of any sentimentality, or something like that. He simply liked the atmosphere that the calming waters and chirping seagulls brought to this place. It was a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the great capitals that dotted every region of this planet, and having his own quiet, peaceful time to think and contemplate was something very important to him. It also got extremely boring, however. And the way to solve that, of course, would be to make his way to one of the cities close by to the inviting beach. The planet had lots of smaller cities besides the great metropoles, and they were just as busy and noisy. Though Heat appreciated his calming quiet time, he also had a sort of liking to all this noise that drowned out his own thoughts, the foot patters of pedestrians and the sounds of the cars that drove by the streets. And besides, everytime he was in one of these cities, something interesting was bound to happen. Maybe he'd get to fight a crazed terrorist wrecking the city streets once more, or maybe he's bump into a majin and start talking about their race. Whatever was about to happen, he was excited for it. However, he wasn't expecting to hear a familar voice call out to him from behind. Heat turned his head over behind him, his eyes meeting with the short girl approaching him. Her stature alone gave away who she was to him, but her voice and her blue skin and white hair made it obvious. Before he could even answer to her question of whether or not he had a communicator, Ghetti had already skipped to another subject, tugging on his coat. Heat squatted down so that he could talk to Ghetti with their eyes leveled, the citizens around them passing by, most of them accompanied by somebody else. Ghetti began speaking once more, though he was more occupied with his eyes scanning every corner of the small blue girl's face as she spoke to him, only now getting a good view of her soft, rounded face. He simply nodded along to what she said about Sanbu, before she handed him the card was in her hand, Heat's eyes darting between the silly-looking card with a heart shape on it and Ghetti's face. He quickly opened it, reading a strange phrase talking about his eyes. Were they that distracting? He knew they sometimes shone too brightly, but he didn't think they pulled Ghetti's attention that much. Heat pretty much ignored the last part, something or other about a 'valentine'. It probably wasn't important. He slowly looked back over to her, placing an arm on her shoulder. " First of all, Hi, Ghetti. Second of all, calm down. I can barely keep up with what you're saying. How did you even find me, anyway?" Though Heat said that, he had a smile on his face, as if her throwing so many subjects at once his way was more amusing to him than anything. " Third of all- do my eyes bother you? Or are you saying you like them?" He asked that one with an eyebrow raised, the meaning of the valentine's day card totally flying over his head. He wasn't very prone to socializing, after all. " Oh, and- what did you wanna talk about?" He asked, finally. He quickly shoved the card into the pocket of his coat. He didn't really get its meaning, but it was a gift from Ghetti to him, so it didn't do any harm to keep it. |

A very good question- that Ghetti had been not all that eager to answer, how did Ghetti find She and Sanbu's mutual friend. "I didn't find you at all! I ran into you by complete coincidence, although I was actually seeking you out, it's not like I had any sort of tactic to my locating you, I just got really lucky." Ghetti divulged to Heat how it was just her luck that she had been able to find him at all, the more she thought about it- maybe she really ought to get one of those scouters- if not for practical use, just to find Heat.
Heat's smile would prove to be contagious, while Ghetti hadn't been particularly frowning- Heat's smile, coincidentally made her feel warm and comfortable, so in turn, the edges of her lips would curl up and a comfy smile would sit on her face. Though, Ghetti's smile had almost been cracked into a million pieces when Heat asked if Ghetti found his eyes bothersome- although he also prompted that it could be that she actually liked looking at them, but of course she was going to focus on the part that offended her tastes. "N-no Heat! it's like- your eyes are captivating! I like them, but a lot! err..." Ghetti felt like she had been simple enough explaining exactly how she felt about the whole thing- but maybe the card she gave to him had been misleading, it was advertised as something that would make someone close to you feel nice.
"They said you'd like it! Well not specifically you, but they said cards like these are something you give out to those you enjoy the company of these days- or this month, this...time? I dunno- like relative to now, this is something cool to give to people." Ghetti waved her hands dismissively as if to move on from what she was trying to say, she moved and float to where she would be next to Heat.
She actually had something particular to talk to him about- but her attention had been moved towards the other thing on the card that she had also not known about at the moment. "What did I want to talk about? Well..." Ghetti would point to the word on the card that he ignored and she had been conflicted with 'valentine'. "That one, it's the reason I got the card in the first place...sort of- I'm not sure what it means...but apparently, I choose someone to be my 'valentine' and I chose you! I was hoping you'd know what it meant." She said with puffed cheeks. |

Heat's PL: 43,350 (Anti-Aura) Heat sighed as Ghetti explained that she had found him completely on accident. Maybe he really should do something to make him easier to find. Then again, there are the occasional experimental androids being sent after him for termination, so perhaps it wouldn't be such a good idea after all. Besides, he had passed quite a few capsule stores, and those scouters were most definitely not cheap, not that Heat actually even knows the value of a zeni. Heat couldn't help but give an even warmer smile to the small, blue girl as she smiled back to him, thought he was a little worried once it fell apart, the android not really sure if she was upset over something he said or if he misinterpreted her intentions. Being raised in a dark, underground facility wasn't very good for stimulating his social abilities, and he had only now begun to actually try to understand writing, as his creators never actually took the time off their day to help him learn to read or write. Heat took the card back out, flipping it open as he read it once again, now that Ghetti had explained her intentions with it. " Oh." So she was saying that she liked how they looked all along? Heat was used to weird looks and intrusive questions about his appearance, but he wasn't actually expecting someone to compliment how they looked. Usually the black, empty sockets paired with the bright crosshair pupils were enough to offput people, but their sudden, unexpected shifting to their menacing red color was definitely what put everybody else off. Heat didn't even notice it himself, but he was smiling again, looking even more gleeful than before. Ghetti could even swear his cheeks were flushed, but he was an android, so it's not like he could blush, right? " Oh, um... I like it now! I diiiiid see people giving these out to eachother, but I thought nothing of it. I mean, I was curious, but I think asking them about it would be a little weird. Ah, crap, I should have gotten one for you... Y-You really like how my eyes look?" The android looked down to the card he was holding once Ghetti mentioned it, talking about the 'valentine' bit that he had completely glossed over. The blue-toned girl had apparently chosen Heat to be her valentine, even though she didn't even know what that entailed. Her choosing him had caught the android completely off-guard. That's what she had sought him out for? As it turned out, Heat had indeed heard the word being thrown around recently, but he'd be lying if he said he knew what it actually was, simply having heard the city-faring earthlings around him call eachother their 'valentine', usually followed by some public display of affection. It was a concept that confounded Heat, though he couldn't help but to smile about it. A fun girl like the one before him had chosen him to be her valentine! It didn't really matter what it meant, just that out of all the friends Ghetti no doubt had, she had chosen him of all people, and it didn't really matter to Heat that she didn't even know what it actually was. " Well, I honestly don't know myself. I think it might mean... a special friend, or something like that. You probably shouldn't declare people things that you don't know even know the meaning of, though." Heat said, chuckling lightly as he stuck his hand out, patting Ghetti's head like she was just a little kid, even though Heat was probably the younger one of the two. |

Upon getting the mighty in height alone Android to reread the card she had given him- she was of coursed pleased to see the original intent behind the card. She delivered another warm smile, this one she'd part her lips to show her bright teeth clenched together with said smile. With his wits about him now- there was a very noticeable change in Heats demeanor, it seemed like he even had a better wrap around what emotions meant more so than she- but maybe ignorance just made Heats reaction from her perspective seem more genuine- last she recalled they were both in the same boat of the same size when it came to that sort of thing. Even with that acknowledged, Ghetti could tell it easy to identify 'happy' feelings, but this was even more than happy? Perhaps she was just overthinking it- either way she was glad to see how pleased Heat had been.
"Ah no, it's fine! I really got you it because it just seemed like a good idea at the time- but you know...you liking it is kinda like it's own card...wait.." Ghetti found herself actually forming an analogy, while from a poetic standpoint it made sense- she just ended up confusing herself. Lowering back to the ground she'd take a moment to notice how Heat seemed to appreciate the beauty Ghetti saw in his eyes- perhaps the standards were a bit different on earth, but she obviously couldn't be bothered to care. "I mean, you know- yeah! They are like their own remarkable twinkling stars in their own little space, that makes sense right?"
If that was a blush she saw on Heats cheeks- perhaps it would only become more visible now, of course right at this moment Ghetti didn't know the concept of 'too much' or 'coming on too strong',besides it was polite to share her exact thoughts on what made his eyes so...captivating? It wasn't until Heat pointed out that maybe she should refrain from using words she didn't know- especially when declaring them on other people that she'd actually feel embarrassed- she had just assumed that-- well before she could take the chance to regret her actions, she felt Heat's hand...pat her head. If he would go to retreat his hand back after the pat, Ghetti would reach out in attempt to grab onto his hand with both of her own.
At first she hid her face- looking toward the ground before finally looking up at Heat with her glistening silver eyes, biting her lower lip with her face red enough to irradiate heat, no pun intended. As soon as she recognized her own actions she'd let Heat's hand go! "U-Uhhh, that reminds me I-I actually wanted to show you this uh...area that I think- is cool for this...time uh!!!" She float into the sky speaking one last time before shooting off in a direction. "Race you there! Or you know, you can just follow me!" And woosh, she as off. '...I wonder if I could get him to pat my head again...!' |

Heat's PL: 43,350 (Anti-Aura) Heat felt a little warmer inside than usual, despite how unusually warm his internal systems already were, in response to Ghetti saying him liking her card was almost like his card to her in a way, though he felt a little awkward for staring at her for so long, but he kept his eyes glued to hers anyway as she descended back down onto the ground, the Android noticing she was gazing back at him just as attentively. He wanted to know just what about him was drawing her attention so much, though he was taken aback by what she said about his eyes, comparing them to stars in space. Heat couldn't really hold back a grin after that one, chuckling to himself. "Took a little after Sanbu, have you?" He asked, aware of the majin's strangely poetic streak. However, Heat definitely didn't expect his gentle little pat on her head to have such an effect on Ghetti, the short girl quickly grasping the hand that had pet her head so gently, holding him with both of her small hands. The android took that as Ghetti's way of telling him to put his hand back where it was, so he slowly moved it back over of her soft, white hair, patting her head some more. Heat felt oddly compelled by her in a way he hadn't felt before, especially as he watched her lower her head, looking down to the ground, before giving him a look almost like she was enchanted by him, biting her lower lip at his touch. Heat hadn't ever seen anybody, earthling or otherwise, look at him the way Ghetti just did, the Android looking a little worried that he might have done something to make her give him that look. Maybe despite how cute it made the short girl look, it was a way of telling Heat that it actually made her upset? He was already horrible with verbal conversation, but having to guess non-verbal cues was even worse for him. Ghetti quickly let go of her hand right afterward, Heat quickly pulled his hand back to his side, his eyes wide and cheeks flushed even more, he did feel warmer, but he didn't understand why, or how he even looked to Ghetti. With his hand against her head, he could feel that she was warm, heated even, and up until then he didn't know organic life could feel so warm! Heat was a little dazed from the whole situation, unsure of all these feelings that his artificial intelligence was overclocking itself to try and work out, though he quickly remembered he might have inadvertedly upset his friend. The android opened his mouth to speak, but before any words could come out, Ghetti had already taken off to the sky, flying at top speeds, yelling at Heat to follow her or race her, which he responded to by taking off after the blue-toned girl, his high-velocity flight forcing his internals to work harder and harder as he left a trail of steam in the sky, trying his best to fly next to Ghettias his coat flapped in the wind. " Hey- uh... Uh! I... sorry! I'm not good at, y-y'know, talking?! Interacting, I mean! Where are we going?!" Heat yelled loudly, trying his best to make his voice louder than the wind crashing against their ears so that Ghetti could hopefully hear his apology and consider it. |

This was probably the first time Ghetti had ever flew from someone in embarrassment- well there was that Cress situation but that was more of a retreat out of defeat sort of thing- she hadn't felt particularly embarrassed, just incredibly out of place. Since Heat was behind Ghetti, he probably couldn't see that her teeth weren't clenched against her lip anymore- but now in a very giddy smile that she couldn't erase. Before now, she had been very open with her emotions, wanting people to be aware of how she felt even if it was just an expression. But now, Ghetti actively didn't want Heat to see how happy she was while also very eager to share the feeling with him. She felt that if she went back and faced Heat the way she was now, she'd be stuck staring into his eyes forever until they both turned to stone or something.
She would indeed hear him apologize- although blinded by her own desires, she didn't immediately recognize what he was apologizing for; so she simply ignored it in a sense. Although Ghetti would catch the part about him not being good at talking- or conversing with others. "I'm kind of the same Heat! but I think I'm getting better at it, don't you think you're doing better too?" She wasn't sure how severe Heats case was- but if he thought he wasn't good...and she was as happy to be talking to him, that must mean that he isn't as bad at it as he was when he last thought about how good he was doing, right? She felt her face finally loosen up- a normal less giddy smile on her face now.
Stopping in mid air to face Heat with a much less taxing smile now she'd clap her hands together. "This place we're going? It's just a part of the city- but the catch is they decorated it with all of this valentine-stuff, and have a bunch of activities catered to it!" She'd float a bit closer to Heat as she explained it. "I know both of us probably won't know at all what we are doing- but I thought again about our time with Sanbu, we shouldn't let our ignorance leave us staggered and stagnant! I'm sure we'll figure out this emotion stuff and I guess whatever else stands in our way!"
With that she beamed off in the original direction she had been heading. It wouldn't take long for them to get there, once they did- both Ghetti and Heat would be able to see how much was covered in...very soft colors, mostly pink. There were heart shaped balloons, and people in matching outfits...matching outfits. Ghetti gazed down upon the people below, couples wearing clothing that seemed to match. She'd look herself up and down, and then at Heat. "It seems we don't really look the part, Heat- we need to get some clothes that match, I'm sure there is a store here that will quench our needs!" Ghetti mentioned before floating down to the surface, then proceeding to walk- hopefully with Heat close behind her.

Heat would continue to chase after Ghetti as both of them soared through the air, the android having to be mindful of his speed so that he didn't overtake the short girl. It was his first time flying with someone else, and being more aware of his speed was a new challenge for him. Holding a conversation in the air, however, wasn't nearly as difficult as Heat had anticipated, and even though he had apologized previously to her, Ghetti saying she, too, had difficulty with the whole socializing thing made Heat smile once again as he realized more and more the things they had in common with eachother. Her asking if he thinks he's doing better at it made the android think it over for a bit. He was certainly more comfortable with talking to strangers, at least. He wouldn't say he's got the grasp of talking with others just yet, though. Especially since Ghetti hadn't accepted Heat's apology, making him think she either didn't hear him or she hadn't forgiven him for making her show him that face. Maybe she was acting the way she was right now because her mind still lingered on that.
Heat was knocked back to reality once the white-haired girl stopped in her tracks so suddenly, the android very nearly crashing into her as she had stopped without any prior warning, though he crossed his arms as he listened to her speak with that warm smile of hers on her face, twisting her lips as Heat couldn't help but to smile back to her. Ghetti saying they were going to a special part of the city, decorated with valentine's day-related stuff with a whole bunch of activities made Heat feel a little... discouraged. He wasn't very good with crowds, as his height and strong body either made him accidentally walk into people and knock them over or get the ones around him to open a path for him in fear. He sighed, only to notice Ghetti had floated a little closer to him, causing Heat to flinch. Well... maybe it'd be okay if he was with her, and her words about not letting their ignorance of their feelings make them stagnate hit deep. He nodded. "Right. Well... if we mess up, at least we'll do it together, then." Heat chuckled at that, smiling to her before they continued on their way towards their destination.
Once they arrived and touched down towards the ground, with people gawking and staring at them, Heat took a while to take in the atmosphere and the vivid colors of the event. Heat had seen the heart shapes around the place, but he didn't know exactly what it was supposed to mean, after all, it looked absolutely nothing like a real heart, so him not knowing the symbolism was a bit of a hurdle to get through. Heat also immediately noticed the crowds of people in matching outfits stomping around the place, paying attention to the person they were paired with and nothing else. Maybe Heat should do the same, the android nodding to Ghetti before he reached down towards her, taking her hand as he held it gently. "We might accidentally lose sight of eachother, so hold tight." He told her, beginning to make his way through all the lovestruck earthlings, his mind more focused on finding a store for the two of them to get matching clothes than how his touch had affected Ghetti, which, after her reaction to him patting her head, he should honestly have been more aware of. "Mm... oh, shoot... I just remembered I don't have any money... Mm... maybe we could steal the clothes? Wait- no, that's a crime... mm..."

Heat seemed to catch on well enough when Ghetti mentioned their time with Sanbu, how both of them...no all three of them needed to do a better job with their growth! It was only natural they'd come up on a few things that were way out of their understanding or at the very least- seemed outside the realm of possibility for the time being. Either way, it seemed the blue alien and the automaton were on the same page now- Heat acknowledged that if they were to fail, that they would be doing so together. "That's the only way I'd prefer it!" She beamed another smile right before she found her hand being taken by Heats. Her little paw of a hand had been engulfed by Heats much more warm hand. "Oh..?"
The short blue alien look up at him as her hand was taken- then he'd explain how it'd be easy for them to get seperated in the big crowd- very true...Ghetti couldn't even sense Heat and everyone else was so much taller than her. "A-ah..okay, then I'll just..." Se'd adjust her hand in a way to return her own grasp onto Heats hand, nearly intertwining their fingers as she sneaked her small ones between his. Had she been the type to acknowledge her height, she might have been a little flustered right now, how she had to reach her arm a ways up to meet Heats hand.
As they walked through Heat remembered he had no money to buy any clothes! Before Ghetti could interrupt him with her own insanely deep pockets they would be met by a street parlor of some sort. "Hey there! you couple look new around here! Cosplayers of some sort?" Ghetti turned her head at the man who would interrupt their walk. "Huh? cospl-wha?" Instead of acknowledging the girls ignorance on what cosplaying was- he continued his script so to speak. "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear your boyfriend there mention he was low on the old sum of money! Boy do I have the game for you pal!"
The hyperactive man spoke before stepping aside to reveal some sort of tall box shaped chamber? "Since I've never seen you before, and I've taken a liking to your unique style, I'll let you have a go in the money booth!" Ghetti blinked before tilting her head to the side. "Money Booth???" The eccentric man would nod his head once again. "Yes yes! The money booth! All your boyfriend here has to do is step inside and catch as many dollars as he can, and get this- he can keep what he takes! I'm kind of filthy stinkin' rich- so the dollars are increments of 20 each! but it won't be easy catching them all!" Ghetti stood there, with her jaw dropped- thinking of how lucky heat was! "To think I've been taking the odd job as a hitman- and all he has to do is catch the money floating in his face???" The eccentric man would chuckle at Ghetti's comment. "I do love your sense of humor, little lady!" |

Heat had gotten a little distracted once Ghetti placed her hand over his, her small, soft fingers intertwining with his as they made their way through the festive grounds of valentine's day. Heat felt like it was harder and harder for him to peel his crosshairs from her, her pretty, white hair and her endearing stature. The android didn't know exactly what it was he was feeling, or what he thought of Ghetti. Attractive might have been the wrong word... maybe magnetic? Yeah, Heat felt like his metallic frame and plating were being pulled towards Ghetti like she had some sort of strong magnetic pull, and the longer the automaton spent around the small girl, the harder it was for him to ignore it and fight back against it.
His starstruck daydreaming was cut short once he heard a loud man calling out to the both of them, referring to them as 'cosplayers'. Before Heat could express his confusion, Ghetti beat the man to the punch, though he didn't seem interested in explaining what it meant, and simply went on about his 'game', probably one of the valentine's day activities that Ghetti had spoken of. Heat attentively listened to the man, taking a step closer towards the strange, boxy chamber before him. Heat placed a hand upon it as the man continued explaining the 'game' he had planned, and Heat was just as shocked as Ghetti as how simple the rules sounded. Heat chuckled alongside the man at Ghetti's comment, and smiled wide. "Alright, I'll do it!" Heat yelled out, suddenly beginning to undress as he took off his coat, revealing the segmented lines that sepearated his plates of skin, as well as the chunks of steel that covered his shoulders and made up his metallic spine. "Whoa, you really are dedicated to that outfit, eh pal?"
The man's words once again confused Heat, although he felt it'd be too awkward if he asked whatever it was that he was talking about, or worse, the man figuring out he's a machine might even spook him! Heat held his heavy overcoat in one hand, squatting down so that he could look at Ghetti at her eye-level, handing his beige coat over to her. "Sorry if it's heavy, I'll be done in a second." He said, patting her head gently once more, although this time more briefly. The android quickly stood up and faced the booth once again, leaning over as he looked around its outside, a little confused by the machine's design as he couldn't see a way to enter. The man quickly smacked its side, hovered, and the entrance slid upwards, quickly opening up. "Ohh..." Heat peeked his head inside, briefly taking in its strange design before he stepped inside completely, the door sliding downwards as the booth closed up tightly, though Heat could still easily listen to the outside if he paid attention.
"Gimme the word whenever you're ready and we'll make it rain!" The eccentric man yelled out from outside, only for Heat to respond with grunting. The android had decided to focus his body on his Plasma technique, wherein Heat grew four extra arms, his extra limbs forcing themselves from his back with a loud, metallic whirring, Heat briefly flexing his arms and squeezing his hands to make sure they were completely functional. "Ready!" He yelled out, and just as soon as he did, money began showering Heat! Bills of zeni began floating down from the top of the Money Booth, enough to almost completely obscure the android's vision, but he was already prepared for it. His metallic arms quickly reached out and grasped at the numerous paper bills of money that covered him and the booth, though Heat quickly noticed something strange, or perhaps all the money around him was obscuring his vision. It seemed that whenever he grasped one of the bills with his numerous hands, the money had a chance to simply dissipate into thin air somehow, almost like by a stroke of magic, or maybe it was simply slipping from the android's grasp.
This strange occurence almost discouraged the android from trying to even grasp any of the money with his numerous arms, though his enthusiasm was rekindled once he noticed he had actually managed to catch a bill! Maybe it wasn't a scam after all! Heat grinned from ear to ear as he hunched over, his hands clenched. "Overdrive!" Heat yelled, overclocking his body's internal systems as he pushed it to Overdrive, his arms grabbing at the floating bills faster and faster as his body let out more and more heat and steam. From the outside, all that could be heard was Heat's yelling of triumph and the booth rocking back and forth from his powerful movements. Just as Heat's body was beginning to get worn down from all this action, a kind of bell rung, its sound resounding from the inside of the booth as its entrance slowly slid open, an overwhelming amount of steam shooting out from inside of the booth, and once it dissipated, there stood Heat, each of his six hands clutching tightly onto the zeni bills that he did manage to gather, a smile on his face. "I did it!"

Ghetti's eyes widened at the triumphant acception from Heat to what she surmised as the eccentric man's challenge. Although she seemed alarmed her eyes returned to normal and she smirked a sweet smile. "I like your enthusiasm, Heat!" Ghetti complimented watching the automaton undress, well- from his top anyway.
Ghetti figured from how he looked with the coat on that most of his inside would be humanoid in the way of an earthling or herself, but she was met with a complex form of mechanisms that made up his functioning body. Not enough for her eyes to widen, but for the first time ever she'd hop her eyebrows. While it probably didn't excite her in the way a toned body would any other woman, the complexity of Heats torso fascinated her about the same level. The blue skinned hitman left her arms out when Heat squatted and approached her with the coat, figuring he'd want her to hold onto it.
She found it admirable how he apologized about it's probable weight, when she felt it in her hands, it was heavier than she expected, but as you might figure- nothing she couldn't handle- the woman lifted well above her own weight. She'd be treated to a headpat which made her cheeks turn a slight red, though said pat was short lived, so it was just enough to show that he must have still felt the same way he did when he patted her head the first time. "Thankyouuu~" Ghetti coo'd happily from the head pat.
Ghetti blinked a blank look when the eccentric rich man mentioned that Heat was really dedicated to his outfit- she wasn't sure what he meant- as Heat literally just took off his clothing rather than make some sort of adjustment- but that was neither here nor there. As Heat prepared inside the booth, Ghetti was distracted by a shout that she learned would teach her some new...phrases. A woman seemed to be for lack of a better term HEATed at a store owner- if Ghetti recalled correctly her exact words were. "You ripped us off, Jerk! This is bullshit!" the lady snapped before throwing what seemed to be the product she purchased from the salesman into the sky, she put her hand up dismissively before wrapping her arm around who seemed to be her date's arm and held up a specific finger at the salesman. "Screw you, asshole!" the lady shouted.
When Ghetti turned to watch Heat go at it in the money booth she felt a sting of worry. She had been trained to be fast enough to grab 4 cups of coffee before a bullet could make it 5 inches past her- watching Heat grab at the zeni she KNEW he as grabbing some- but they just phased through his hands. She didn't blink- her eyes saw crystal clear that some of the money just would not make it into Heats hands. She'd look to the eccentric man who seemed to be far too deep in disbelief about the multiple arms deal to recognize at that moment his scam was working...to an extent, every credit that flew by went into Heats hand, but he'd have a lot more if the other money was actually there. Once Heat stepped out he seemed to have enough to buy clothes, dinner, and at least 5 nights at a hotel, as specific as that sounded, the alternative would be buying a house...but he didn't make that much.
Once Heat was out of the booth- Ghetti put on his coat even though it was evidently WAY too big for her then approached the man that welcomed them. "ahem--" Ghetti started. "This is bullshit, jerk! you ripped us off!" the tiny blue lady ranted before approaching the money booth and grabbing it from the bottom and launching it into the sky- nearly in illegal airspace! She hopped up and grabbed Heats hand with both of hers. "Screw you! Ass-Hole!" she then stuck her tongue out and marched off with Heat, with a pouty like upset look on her face...although that expression soon faded once she realized she was holding hands with Heat again- she even instinctively nuzzled her head against his hand before looking up at him. "I think that went well! I was going to just buy them myself, but I guess we both have enough to get some new outfits, huh?" Ghetti pondered to Heat as the tail and back of his coat dragged against the ground. |
