    "It wore off a couple hours after I left the spa," Jade replies. As a matter of fact, her clothes weren't designed for a tail, but changed to fit one as she transformed. "Follow me. Watch what I do. " Jade enters the store and immediately waves to the half-orc behind the counter. "Hi Bart!"
    "Hi Jade! I like the new look! Who's your friend?"
    "Bart, meet Marin. Marin, Bart." "It's short for Bartokkarr," Bart confides.

    "Oh, I see. And it's back because of...me?"

    Anyway. No time to get blaming herself.
    Marin follows to watch. What part, exactly, is she supposed to watch? she wonders. Like, is it some kind of code? The way you wave or the way you say hi?

    "Hi, nice to meet you," she says. "My name isn't short for anything; it's just Marin."

    "Yeah, but I wouldn't stress about it. Everyone causes me to change somewhat nowadays." Jade continues her conversation with Bart. "Where's Hank?" l
    "Out back, helping one of the new guys take apart a Chevy." Jade nods. "We need a muffler."
    "Make and model?"
    "1973 Exelscior Firmament." For the people who are into cars across dimensions, that's a magitech automobile available in some universes. The line was launched in 1974.
    "I think we have one in the storeroom. Follow me." Bart gestures for the pair to go behind the counter and through a door with him. Jade nods to Marin. This is correct.

    Wait, is asking for a muffler the thing? Marin wonders. Or is it asking about what's-his-name Hank. There's just a lot going on and Marin feels like she is only following half of it.

    Marin hasn't actually worked on a magitech car yet, but they sound really fancy.

    "Um. Okay," Marin says, still pretty lost. She goes with and follows.

    Bart closes the door behind them, and Jade breathes a sigh of relief. "We can talk freely now. This room is secured." It doesn't look special. A room full of shelves of automobile parts in various condition.
    "This is the friend you wanted to bring? Do you vouch for her good character?"
    "I do."
    "And you, Marin. Do you swear to keep what you see and hear beyond this room secret, except to those you absolutely trust?"

    Wait is this a cult? she wonders. No, it's a super hero thing, she has to remind herself.

    But Marin's sigh of relief doesn't come yet, mostly because she still has no idea what's going on. "Um. Yes," she responds. Then, she quickly says, "I-I mean, I do."

    To be honest, while there are some people that Marin has some level of trust for - Jack, Jade, Honeysuckle, a small handful of other people that didn't take advantage of her when she was vulnerable...there's really only two people in her entire life that she feels could be described by 'absolutely trust', and one of those is fallen into permadeadtime. She doesn't really open up that much easily.

    She bites her lip, anticipating what'll happen next.

    Bart smiles. Most people have nerves coming in here for the first time. The people that don't are the ones that are risky to let in. "Then you're in. Jade will fill you in on the way down." Bart grabs an old, rusted muffler hanging from the wall and pulls. The wall next to it slides aside, revealing a high-tech elevator. "Great, let's go!" Jade gets in right away and waits for Marin.

    Well, it definitely seems that Marin hasn't messed up yet, so that's good.
    "O-okay," she says.
    She watches the muffler get pulled, and the wall...and next the elevator.
    Oh.

    She was wondering how a mechanic/junkyard could be hiding a secret superhero place.

    She gets in the elevator.

    "Wow," she tells Jade. "This is a lot...more than I was expecting."

    The elevator begins to descend. "I should explain the password process. The first thing is to ask where the other one is. A normal response means you're okay. If Bart says Hank is on vacation, or if Hank says Bart is in his office, that means there's a problem, and you can't go down right now." Hank never takes a vacation, and Bart wouldn't be caught dead in the office. "The next thing is to ask for a muffler for a car the year before the first one of its was made. That all make sense?"

    Marin listens. Okay, yeah. She remembers seeing that happen. Makes sense. She nods.

    "Oh! Yeah. It makes sense!" she says. She thinks a bit more, then adds: "Guess it means you've got to brush up on car makes, then. Makes sense, though, 'cause this is an auto shop. Probably helps the cover better."

    "Yeah, you need to know at least one to get in. And there's a procedure if an actual car buff calls you out on it, which is to claim that you got mixed up and give a different year." The elevator stops with a ding and opens.

    The doors open onto a neatly organized store selling... Well, everything. Everything technological, anyway. Mostly parts, but the variety is surprising. Titanium plating. Nanite fabrication hives. Is that a portable fusion reactor over there? But before Marin can get too lost, someone sidles up, hanging from the ceiling. A slim woman with thick glasses. From the waist down, where most people would have legs, she has a mass of metallic filaments which are wrapped around the ceiling struts. Her blond ponytail hangs down below her head. "Hey Jade. Love the tail and ears. Who's your friend?"
    "Hey Helga. This is Marin." Helga turns towards Marin. Light flickers across the lenses of her glasses, scanning the catgirl. "Hey Marin. What's your specialty?"

    Desert Walk

    "But some people, you know. Like that guy earlier. A few minutes, maybe an hour, as a lady would probably have taught him to treat women well." Jade doesn't like being harassed like that. It just makes her feel gross all over. Just because she's beautiful doesn't give people the right to treat her like an object.

    "I don't go frequently either," Marin replies. "Also work. But sometimes I just go out to the middle of nowhere Outside to do it, by myself." Like, she doesn't go to shooting ranges, but she does go shooting alone sometimes. "Gotta keep up practice, right?"
    "Haha, both need to practice more then?"
    Honeysuckle is glad that Marin won't totally show her up. Probably.

    Nah, don't worry. Marin's not that good.
    Good enough for self defense, and she can look down the sights, but that's about it.

    "Oh, using an actual shooting range." She makes that comment. "Yeah, definitely sounds fun. It'd be so nice to go shooting somewhere air-conditioned." Or heated, when it's winter. "I was wondering, though! HALO shooting range, the walls have got to be reinforced or multi-layered, right? Because the walls are all glass or something, I think."




    [Bart and Hank's Cars and Parts]

    Marin leaves the elevator.
    Wow.
    Wooooow.
    She looks around at all the neat stuff. Look! It's brand-new! Not made of cobbled-together things! And some of this she has no idea even what it is! This is so cool!

    "Oh. Um." She looks up at the woman. "Specialty...?" Is that, like...construction specialty? superhero stuff? mechanics things? "Um....I've done construction, plumbing, maintenance and repair, and repairing some robots." Is that what was being asked for?

    "Oh! You should have told us she was new to the trade!" Helga says to Jade. She suddenly seems very excited. "You should come with me. I can help you find things to get started. You," Helga gestures disapprovingly at Jade, "Should stay here. I don't want you distracting your friend while I'm trying to help her." Jade looks a bit disappointed, but nods to Marin. It's safe to go with Helga.

    Marin glances at Jade.
    She's still not entirely sure that this isn't just some weird machinist cult group, but...
    if Jade says it's safe and okay, then it probably is, right?

    "Um. Okay," she says. "Well meet back up later, then?" she asks Jade. And she had even done such a good job at not staring! It was especially hard in the elevator since they were alone, but...now they have to get separated now.

    "Okay." She decides to follow Helga.

    Helga leads Marin away from Jade. As soon as they're out of earshot, she stops and looks Marin right in the eye. "Jade can be very insistent. She thinks most people should try to live the kind of life we do. But what do you think? Do you actually want this?" Does Marin want to be a superhero? "If so, we here can help make it happen. If not, we won't fault you as long as you keep this place secret. It's not for everyone."

    Marin looks back in the direction Jade is in. "Yeah, she is pretty awesome, isn't she?" Marin says, wistfully. Even though that's not really what Helga said at all.
    And that's not even counting the time Jade rescued Marin from that vat of acid, because Marin still doesn't know that was her.

    She adjusts her collar, and turns back to Helga. "To be honest, I'm pretty useless," she says. She laughs it off. Reaching back to run her hand across the blue ribbon tied in her hair, she says, "Last time I was in...that kind of situation, compared to everyone else I was pretty much dead weight." She pauses, then adds, "Well, I was able to help one person but besides that, everyone had to risk their lives to save me. And if I had tried anything else, it would have just put everyone else in more danger. So..."
    Marin rubs an eye with her palm, bites her lip, and looks down. But then, she says a 'ha'. "Definitely don't think I'm anywhere near good enough or capable enough of doing it."

    Helga looks thoughtful. "You're probably better than you think. But what if I told you there was a way to be a hero without putting yourself in much danger. Without leaving the comfort of home." Helga is going to gauge Marin's reaction. This will tell whether Marin wants to be a hero or not.

    Sadly, Marin is probably aware by now that danger just happens regardless, because that's just how being one of her player's characters is. Luckily, all that happened the last time was growing an extra tail, but. Point still stands.

    "The problem isn't danger," Marin says, as she pushes her hair back with one hand. "Seems like it happens no matter what. Already kind-of used to it."

    She takes a breath, and lets her hair fall. "But..." She kind-of wants to hear what Helga's going to suggest. "...what is it, then?"

    "You do robotics, right? Follow me." Helga leads the way to another part of the store. Here, instead of shiny new parts, they're more or less gently used, piled in disorganized stacks throughout the room. Helga begins rummaging through one stack of miscellaneous devices until she finds what she's looking for. "Here. What do you make of this?" She passes Marin a roughly spherical black robot the size of a basketball. It looks like someone partly bashed it apart with a crowbar.

    "Oh, yeah, the range walls are pretty tough. Take not-getting-flooded pretty serious." Honeysuckle assures her.
    Although the base actually has flooded several times, bringing that up would just worry Marin, right?

    "Good place. Can really focus on the targets." And not the weather, the dangers of Outside, etc.

    Marin follows.

    She grabs onto the broken robot.
    She looks at it and turns it around. "Um..." she says, not entirely sure what she's supposed to be looking for. "It looks broken." Obviously.

    ...
    Feeling like this is some sort of test and that was an inadequate answer, she adds, "S-so, if you want to fix it, the obvious first thing to check would be all of the connections."


    [Riftline Transfer]

    That shooting range sounds nice.

    "It wouldn't be that weird," Marin says about full glass. "It'd just be like...being in an aquarium, or something."

    And, on that note, Marin asks, "You ever been to an aquarium?" And, as a follow-up question, she adds, "And...would you even be able to 'see' anything there, or does the water or glass or something interfere with being able to see stuff?"


    Notably, at this point, Marin's tail is obviously nearly-split-in-two. Anyone who looks at it should be able to see that plainly.

    "Not every hero goes on the field. This is a semi-autonomous observation drone, belonging to an unfortunate police state. Its inner circuitry is intact, but its propulsion systems and outer hull are damaged, and I don't have a matching control system. But if someone were to fix up this and other damaged robots, they could send them onto the field in their stead. All of the heroism without being a dead weight in dangerous situations." It's clear that what Helga means is that Marin could be that someone, if she wanted to.

    Quiet.

    It's so quiet here after the cacophony in The Derricks.

    Just the sound of the wind blowing across the sage brush.

    "I don't think that would have taught him anything,"
    Morning Glory says after a few minutes of quiet contemplation. "Some people are just nasty inside no matter what they're like on the outside."

    Of course some people are exactly as nasty on the outside as they are on the inside.

    Like most of the gross monsters from the Pit!

    Oh, speaking of-

    "Jade, do you still have that thing the tar monster wanted?"

    Morning Glory might be right. But Jade chooses to believe she should try to teach people like that a lesson, and see if it works. She lifts the pendant from where it was resting around her neck. "Yeah, it's right here." She still doesn't know what it is, except that it's safe to wear.

    "Oh. I see," Marin says. She turns it to look at its propulsion.

    ...

    The catgirl picked up on what Helga was saying. There's only one problem, though: "...yeah, someone who has a workshop to herself would probably be able to do that."

    Helga looks thoughtful. "No workshop. Hmmm." Her metal tendrils begins searching through the junk nearby. "I'm sure your friend would let you borrow hers. But I may be able to improvise a different solution."

    As for the drone, it has a small antigravity device for propulsion. Or had, might be a better term, because someone smashed it with a crowbar.

    And, on that note, Marin asks, "You ever been to an aquarium?" And, as a follow-up question, she adds, "And...would you even be able to 'see' anything there, or does the water or glass or something interfere with being able to see stuff?"


    Notably, at this point, Marin's tail is obviously nearly-split-in-two. Anyone who looks at it should be able to see that plainly.
    "No, never have been to 'n aquarium." Honeysuckle tosses her head 'no'.
    "But yeah, can sense the water and fish even through glass. They're neat. Really different from land animals."

    It's hard not to notice that Marin basically has an extra tail now. But Honeysuckle doesn't bring it up.

    "They're pretty nice," Marin responds. "Sure, the little tanks and things are nice, but...what's really amazing are the huge ones that go all around. Like, the ones that are three of the walls, or that are above you and fill out the ceiling, or the ones that have huge walls and you can see all sorts of things. Like, you're underwater, and just surrounded by fish and rocks and plants and corals and things."

    "Like, seeing it all around, where there's always things instead of just walls."


    But...
    Thinking about it, that's probably how it always is for Honeysuckle when she's in HALO. Marin gets a little jealous, for that particular part.


    Bart and Hank's Cars and Parts

    Oh, cool, antigravity.
    That's...pretty advanced stuff.
    She continues looking at that part, to see if she can see how it works, and starts touching it with her fingers.

    "I do have a toolbox, though," Marin says.
