[ OF SOME GUY.

while he's unwrapping her present, she puts her beer down and opens the little box up. ]

Cards, huh...? Hey, what'd you get, choomba?

[gunmettle]

... Who the hell is this?

[bratsunemiku]

[ she just. makes a face. ]

You think I know who this snooty gonkbrain-lookin' guy is? Hell no. He looks like his name would be like Benjamothy Crumbleworth or somethin' stupid!

[gunmettle]

Now you're just makin' shit up.

[ What kind of name is that, even!! ]

[bratsunemiku]

No shit, but apparently there's some dude named Herlock Sholmes around so I figured anythin' goes, y'know?

[gunmettle]

Yeah, I know. That dude is my boyfriend, Short Stack.

[bratsunemiku]

...

Huh? Vaux didn't mention you bein' one of her boyfriends.

[gunmettle]

That's cause I'm not. I've never actually met the lady.

[bratsunemiku]

The fuck? Figured she knew like the entire fucking prison by now.

Anyway, so this Herlock choom's got a girlfriend and a boyfriend then. Guess I'm happy for ya!?

[gunmettle]

You'll find out that this prison's full of unique... arrangements.

[bratsunemiku]

Oh, don't worry, I caught on quick as soon as people started throwin' around their picks in that elevator bullshit.

[gunmettle]

Ah. Doesn't make anything easier, that's for sure.

[bratsunemiku]

Yeah...

[ stares ]

So this Herlock guy. Your mods don't bother him or anythin'?

[ and also what kind of job is it called if there's a gun-head-muzzle involved ]

[gunmettle]

They don't. He just takes me as I am. Always has.

[ THERE ARE NO JOBS get your head out of the gutter ]

[bratsunemiku]

[ NEVER. she was probably birthed into a gutter or something!! ]

Huh. Well, good for you!

[ god she is so single ]

I mean it. Way folks like us look... I'm sure you've run into gonks who were scared as shit, yeah?

[gunmettle]

Truthfully, I've had more adverse reactions to my appearance back home than I ever had here. Sure, here people still kinda stop and stare or I'll startle 'em for a second, but they're surprisingly quick to bounce back.

[ Aki Hayakawa is an outlier and will not be counted. ]

[bratsunemiku]

That so...

Even the people who came from, like, old timey times?

[ she doesn't know anything about sholmes except for that he apparently likes to use his mouth in bed okay (thanks for that sprezzatura) ]

[gunmettle]

Even them. Herlock is from the 1800s or somethin' like that.

[ I cannot believe this is her only impression of Juzo's boyfriend. ]

[bratsunemiku]

Yikes, him too?! Why are there so many people from ancient times around!?

[gunmettle]

Who else? I only know Herlock and a pal of his, Ryunosuke.

[bratsunemiku]

Pretty sure that— huh!?

[ hol up ]

Your boyfriend's pal's with Ryunosuke? Ugh. Of course. Lil' puppy dog's friends with everyone.

[gunmettle]

Yeah? They used to work together back home.

[ Wait ]

"Little puppy dog"?

[bratsunemiku]

[ she looks. AWAY. ]

...Small goddamn place this interdimensional fucking prison is!

[ she will not answer his question!!! she will not even dignify it with a response! she's totally not blushing!!!! ]

[gunmettle]

Rebecca? [ Tries to move around to see her ]

Are you blushing?

[bratsunemiku]

[ holds up a GIANT BLUE HAND to cover her sTUPID RED FACE ]

HELL NO
