Engineer's Pet Shadow [S.S. Soot and Shadows]

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

It was a nice sunny afternoon in Vale, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and a certain young boy had a plan, this boy was known as Virgo Brinks, though if you asked anyone that knew him they would say his name was "Crazy Dude with the Machines", he wore this nickname with pride. This day he was doing something that he wouldn't expect he'd care for, getting a girl named Nu to meet with him, he wasn't one to go into things willy-nilly though, he had a plan, the first step was to get her in his vicinity, luckily for him she goes to a local ice cream parlour everyday, that was where he would set his plan in action...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Virgo was sitting outside the local ice cream parlour "The Snowed-in Rat". He looked to the cat resting to his side in a small machine made of a small cat bed and a toy tank "I hope she shows, Sparkplug, I see no reason she wouldn't... But still..." he said to the cat as he waited for a certain "Nu Weaver" to arrive...

Nu walked down the street humming a strange tune as she walked to the ice cream shop stopping at the entrance she sighed and put her weapon next to the door as she walked in "Stupid assholes....Wont let me keep my weapon in there shop."Nu sighs as she walks up to the clerk"One scope strawberry please"The clerk smiled and scooped out a scoop and handed it to Nu "That will be one lien please Nu smiled and began to dig in her pocket slowly coming to the realization she forgot her money at home "Shit"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo spotted Nu and got up from his seat and walked inside the parlour, leaving Sparkplug outside, he approached the counter with two one lien cards and tapped Nu on the shoulder "Excuse me, lovely miss, I believe I have a charitable donation for you." he said helpfully as he waved one of the cards in front of Nu's face...

[Paige weaver]

"...........Who the fuck are you...."Nu looked at the boy with eyes of please dont leave and why me "Err sorry what is your name ?"Ny gave a small chuckle as she looked quickly out the window to make sure her weapon was still there "Also why do you want to help me....And what do you want in return."

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo smiled at her and gave her the cards "I want you to get me a mint-flavoured scoop... And maybe hang out with me as we eat?..." he said awkwardly as he did so...

[Paige weaver]

Nu growled slightly as she handed the clerk the cards "One scope mint...." as she got the other ice cream she handed it to the boy "Where do you want to sit....."Nu said rather bitterly as she licked her ice cream "And whats your name anyway"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo took the ice cream and smiled at Nu as they walked outside "Well the cat outside is mine, so where he's takin' a catnap. The name's "Virgo Brinks", short, sweet, the girls love it!... If I cared for romance... And the girls saw me as more than just the crazy guy with the machines and the cute cat..." he said awkwardly, still maintaining his smile "Now let me guess, "Nu Weaver", correct? Incorrect? Kind of correct, but at the same time not even close?" he said with fake curiousity.

[Paige weaver]

Nu glared at the boy as she sat on the bench "Yea Nu weaver........How the fuck did you know my name!"Nu yelled slightly before she went back to eating her ice cream "This kid is strange.........He is lucky Tai is most likely watching me other wise he would be dead in an ally right now."

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo smiled as he sat down, Sparkplug woke up and meowed at Nu happily, jumping out of his basket and rubbing at Nu's legs "That is my secret... Oh look, Sparky likes ya!" Virgo said as he noticed his cat asking Nu for a pet.

[Paige weaver]

Nu picked up the cat and put it in her lap and petted it "It kinda is fuck head.......How do you know my name did Tai put you up to this!"Nu looked around for a second "I swear if she did im going to fucking murder you!"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo smiled slyly at her "Well now, that's a loaded gun of a question... You know what else is? Who would win in a fight: Batman or Superman? One is cool and likable, but will get you teased for not choosing the guy who can bench press planets... What was the question? Oh yes, am I with Miss Faber, the answer is no, I just began to see you frequent this establishment and wanted to make your acquaintance." he explained merrily...

[Paige weaver]

Nu growled slightly at the boy "So your a stalker than.......I'm out you freak job!"Nu yelled as she got up the cat jumping from her lap "I dont talk to fucking freaks like you thanks for the fucking ice cream thou!"Nu grabbed her weapon and began to walk slowly down the street "What a freak im going to have to kill Tai for this one i know she is watching and i know she put that kid up to this!"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo did not panic, only patting the basketank's pillow, ordering Sparkplug to jump onto it, he used his semblance to drive the tank towards Nu and in front of her "Ca' le' you do tha' Staa Fawx!" he said from the machine in a thick faux-british accent "No seriously, I'm not a stalker, just an admirer with data!" he said proudly as he ran up to Nu from behind...

[Paige weaver]

Nu turned and with her left hand put her blade next to virgo's throat licking her ice cream that was in her right hand "Give me a good fucking reason not to split your throat in half!"Nu growled as she glanced to a near by building "Watch as the dumb bitch stops me from doing any thing fun....."

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo put his hands in the air, though he wasn't very surprised "Name any machine, I can build it out of spare parts. Go ahead, name something!" he said calmly, yet proudly, unfazed by the blade to his throat...

[Paige weaver]

Nu slowly began to cut just deep enough to make him bleed but not kill him "What type of fucking idiot are you! i mean no one stands there and keep saying stupid things like you do!"Nu growled as she sheathed he weapon and turned away kicking the tanks as she walked off "Leave me the fuck alone you asshole!"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo fell over in surprise and coughed alot from the wound "Ow...That's a hard wound to explain to my parents..." he said casually, still coughing a slight bit from the wound and pulling out some gauze from his backpack, wrapping it carefully around his neck "Always be prepared, as they say!" he said strangely happily as he got up from the ground and picked up his now broken baskettank "Easy fix!" he said merrily as he looked at Nu with a smile.

[Paige weaver]

Nu glared at the boy "Why type of fuck head are you!"Nu growled as she looked the boy in the eyes "Does nothing phase you! You should be crying to you momy right now! Nu walked up to Virgo slowly before aiming a kick at his leg "And what type of fuck head talks to the person that just attacked them with a blade!"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo saw the kick coming and moved his leg to dodge it, with a flick of his wrist a small, sepia-tone coloured, pistol-like barrel came out of his sleeve aimed right at Nu's own leg "Clearly you can only communicate in violence, so I just choose not to speak, do you wish for me to yell at the top of my lungs?" he said, trying to be artsy in his sentence, eyes locked on Nu's face...

[Paige weaver]

"What type of freak are you........For fuck sake! Why dont you get upset about anything!?"Nu yelled as she kicked Virgo's gun and split her weapon in half cutting at Virgo first right then left "Watch as that stupid bitch shows up now..."

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo smiled and merely dodged the slashes "Not a freak, merely an evolution in thought!" he said cockily as he did so, he then stepped closer a step and quickly legsweeped her...

[Paige weaver]

Nu Activated her semblance so Virgo's leg went through her as she did she put her blade up to his throat "Your really pissing me off you little fuck head!"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo laughed at this "You're kinda funny!.. I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow!" he said as he gently lowered Nu's hand and turned to walk away, another toy tank coming from behind Nu in attempt to trip her so she wouldn't follow...

[Paige weaver]

"Hey don't walk away from...."As Nu almost finished her sentence the toy tank tripped her making her fall onto her back."Mother fucker im going to kill that bitch ass and his stupid as fuck cat!"Nu thought as she got up slowly "Hey fuck head get back here so i can kill you!"

[Empoleon_Blownaparte]

Virgo merely smiled and waved as he started to run, suddenly turning to the road and stopping on a manhole cover in the middle of it "I do believe this is farewell! I hope to see you again soon Ms. Weaver!" he said merrily as he kicked the manhole cover off and jumped down into the sewers, Sparkplug jumped out of his basket and quickly followed him down. "She was fun." he said as he ran down the tunnel of the sewer to escape the girl, Sparkplug following him easily...
