( She won't be rude and stare at it any longer, choosing to shift her attention back to Luna herself. Hand withdrawing after the handshake. Sitting up a little more at the question. ) Uhh, yeah, actually, I do. You a big car person too, Luna?
( Odd question to ask all of the sudden, but maybe —
charlie .. hmm. a coincidence maybe.ᐣ would be one hell of a coincidence though .. given the music too.. )
" . . . do you like cars charlie.ᐣ "
— interesting. . . )
Yeah, it is. Big hobby of mine, fixing stuff. I’m Charlie. ( VHS placed down carefully to offer a hand to shake. )

( That warning didn’t seem all that threatening so of course she didn’t scram because of it. Step taken back, watching his tires ground into the pavement, about to poke him again with the wrench. . . Only to fall short of doing so when he talks.
Well, the feeling in her gut about this jeep —

Don’t worry about it. Just wasn’t expecting anyone else to be out here right now, I guess.
( Shrugging and leaning forward a little, stretching her hand out more so Luna can have an easier look. Noticing her metal arm, eyes locked on and studying it for a moment longer then she intended, —
( an apologetic look as she turned fully to face charlie, stepping closer on the fire escape to get a better look at the VHS.
lifting her metal hand to bring her drink up to her face, taking a sip before replying. )
" nice. it's always fun to try fix
( Like Luna, Charlie hadn't noticed the other standing on the fire escape nearby, not until she'd spoken. Jumping slightly, turning to glance at her. Blinking a couple times, idly bouncing her leg up and down along to the music. )
Oh, uh. This old thing. ( Holding up the VHS in one hand to —

( She doesn't know of Hot Shot or his affiliation in the Wreckers or even the rarity of finding one of them on the mainland. Just knows she mightttt wanna keep her eyes open. Squinting at the suspicious jeep. . .
She was about to move to go and investigate more but there came the spritz of —

Climbing down, wrench in hand, quick to approach Hot Shot. Tiny poke with the tool. )

leaning forward with her arms resting on the railing, bottle of water in hand. she hadn't noticed charlie at first, not till she heard the music.
the smiths .. a band she always hand an ear out for since
— but her concerns were more on the metal figure (Jazz) she’d caught a glimpse of the other day, more so then on introductions.
She was also in the middle of tinkering with a busted VHS player, going back and forth between humming and cursing under her breath in frustration. ) Come on. . .

Mhm. ( Starting to withdraw back into her own apartment. Hilda seems like she might be reliable, despite Charlie not knowing her that well. )
Yeah, see you around. ( Closing her window and —

( Like the Terminator, huh? Charlie wouldn’t call them that but she supposed it wouldn’t be too far-fetched of a comparison when it came to the ones who seemed hellbent on destruction. ) Either way, if you see anything else like that, let me know?

. . . Huh. ( So her guess was right. A bipedal, metal figure one second and then a car the next in the same spot? Couldn’t be a coincidence. A bit disappointing it’s not Bee though. ) Don’t know what to make of this, if I’m being honest.

Just sitting there? ( Blink, blink. Rubbing at the back of her neck. It wasn’t exactly crazy talk to Charlie, she knew exactly what they were talking about. Choosing to play dumb about it — for now. ) Uhh, yeah, I think I did. What was that thing?
