dear_mun | It..well..yeah....[canon: pacific rim]

Hey! Miss Mori! (Oh boy! Out of all the Rangers, she always did seem like the most approachable one. Well, as far as he could tell.) Glad to see you've joined the club. Let me guess-- Mun doing a few experiments? Seeing how the ol' boat floats?

[You...are such a strange individual. But amusing.

And hey, you even get a small grin out of Mako.]

Something like that, yes. She wanted to see if we would be compatible. Your mun-san is doing the same?

You've got it! (Oh boy, she's smiling at him. SO MANY AMOUNTS OF AWESOME.)

So far, I've just been doing all the typical, run of the mill stuff. Y'know, basic things, meme things. Gotta say though, this place has some pretty sweet sights. Lot of "out there" people. Liking it so far.

(Newt's totally brimming with 110% capacity of enthusiasm.)

[Somehow she's not surprised that he's over the moon about all of these. Her mun's headspace is full of oddities so she can't imagine the entirety of this site being any different.]

Mun-San has mentioned the potential of 'memes', though I believe she is attempting to grasp things a bit more firmly before doing so. I do not blame her.

We both also wanted to see if anyone else from home was here.

See, I'm personally more interested in trying not to run into too many people I know, mainly Gottlieb, because.... (He mock shivers and makes a "blech" noise, nervously laughing briefly afterwards.)

But uh, those musclehead Ranger guys will probably be here. Don't worry.

Soooo. Yeah. (If there was gravel, he'd be kicking it right about now.)

You are not very fond of most of the Rangers, are you?

[Which she could understand, especially when it came to Chuck. He wasn't exactly the nicest guy around.]

...I am glad to know that we at least have you here, should anything happen. It is comforting to know.

[Have a tiny smile this time. A brief one though. Because she has to keep up her level of professionalism you know.]

Look, I like the whole "giant robot pilots" thing in theory, but too many of those guys have their heads up their asses once they step in the cockpit of those things. That and they tend to think dudes like me who find the Kaiju fascinating are wasting their time and getting in the way of blowing everything up.

(Whew. He takes a breath.)

And can I just tell you how much of a breath of fresh air it is to hear that from someone?! Because, really, thank you. I always knew you were one of the good ones.

(He raises his hand for a high-five... then slides it down for a shake... then kind of slinks it back towards his pocket, trying to match her professionalism.)

[Mako tilts her head a bit, an understanding flicker in her gaze.]

If we did not have you, we would not know near as much as we do. We owe you a lot, whether others wish to recognize that or not.

[And that grin is back as she holds out a hand to him, allowing her professionalism to falter just a bit.]

You are most welcome, Geiszler-san.

(His expression collapses into a wide grin and in a split second, he's shaking her hand.)

Feels good to be appreciated. Gotta say, I'm a fan of your work too. That whole sword thing-- like, that came right out of an anime. So cool!

So now that we're buddies and all, any chance you know someone who could grab me a few things? Uh, no pressure or anything.

[Oh you are just a cute little fanboy.]

I thought it would be wise to equip Gipsy with something that reflected my style as well.

[Raleigh can't have all the fun after all.]

......

[And now that grin is gone as an eyebrow lifts, the pilot tucking her arms behind her back.]

What exactly is it that you need?

Nothing too crazy. I've uh, compiled a list. Being famous and all, you probably won't have any trouble swinging some of this stuff for me.

(He hands her a very crumpled scrap of paper with some pretty bad chicken scratch on it. At first glance, it might look like garbled jargon, but it's actually a list of what looks like ideas.)

First off, I'd like a private lab. Hermann still insists on nagging me about every little thing, even though we saved the world. And I can't listen to my music with him yelling every five seconds.

Oh and I'd also like a private jet. For business. Oh! And some of the remaining Kaiju specimens off of the black market for further research. Also, maybe I could speak at a couple of universities, show everyone I'm a genius?

(He trails off and then halts when he notices that maybe this list isn't so do-able after all.)

[Yeah she's just going to stare at you silently as she holds the note, eyebrow arched again because really?

Really?]

(He snatches back the note and stuffs it into a back pocket.)

Hey, uh, no big deal. I'll just hold on to this for now. Gotta rework some of those ideas, throw a few clauses in there.

I realize you're a busy lady, I won't take up anymore of your time.

...Good look with your work then.

And what type of character would I be, Miss Mori?

[Look at that smug ass grin. Just like when they first met.]

...Take it your mun took a shining to you like mine did to me.

[And their collective Jaeger, but who's counting.]

One that is annoyingly unpredictable, of course.

[Shes trying hard not to grin herself but she's glad to see you, Raliegh.]

Yes, she was quite fond of our team as a whole. I do not blame her, but I suppose I am rather partial.

[And this time she does grin.]

Nothing wrong with a little unpredictability.

[C'mon, you know you want to, Mako. He's your biggest fan.]

Yeah, I'm a little bit biased myself. But with two star ladies, how could a team like us go wrong?

Depends on the situation...but I suppose not.

[Prior to working with you--to piloting with you--she might have said differently but now..]

Flatterer. You are a vital part of the team as well.

You could say the same about 'well-thought-out-plans-of-attacks', huh.

[Opposites often bring out the best in each other, right?]

Me? If it weren't for you I wouldn't have Gipsy. Or a partner.

[Soft chuckle.]

...Okay, I will take credit for the right side.

[Oh. Hi there.]

[You've gotten a lot taller there, Mako.]

[Oh she recognizes you. How could she forget?]

Coyote Tango...just like I remeber you from that day. Not quite as beat up though..

[She smiles faintly.]

[She can't really speak, but there's a pleased hum in answer.]

[It's good to see you too, Mako.]

[Excuse her while she climbs up onto something to give herself a bit more height, just so she isn't straining her neck too much.

She settles on the ledge of the platform, legs hanging over the edge as she looks up at Coyote again.]

You know..I owe you my life just as much as I owe Pentecost-sama.

[There's a little bow of her head, with lights along her panel flaring brighter. If she thought she could do it without hurting something, she'd offer up a hand.]

[She's just glad to see you're all right, Mako. That wasn't a pleasant day for anyone.]

[No, no it wasn't.

But the greeting makes her smile a big more.]

I am glad you are here. Familiarity...it is nice. And feels safe.

[There's a low, uncertain hum from the big robot. Her head tilts, and one hand lifts, settling as carefully as possible near her.]

[Mako doesn't feel safe?]

[Mako doesn't hesitate to push herself back up and move towards the hand that had settled beside her, resting a hand against one of Tango's fingers as she just..takes a comfort in being closer to the other.]

Things..have just been overwhelming. It is nothing to worry about, I promise. I am still not use to all of this yet.

[No, shhh.]

[It's okay. This is what she's made for. She'll protect you.]

[Even if she can't say as much, she can draw her shoulders up, the cannons shifting a little, to punctuate her stance. B( I got this.]

Considering the alternative, Ms. Mori, I cannot complain with the choice of your mundane.

[You're hilarious, Marshal.]

He is not that bad, sir.

[Though it is a bit amusing to hear you say stuff like that.]

He and I are a team now. You should be nice.

It is good to see you, by the way.

I am well aware of your current status. Though, I do not see the need to treat Mr. Beckett any differently as a result.

[You though, kiddo? He is so proud of you 8(]

On that note, however... we are in agreement.

As you say.

[She really wasn't expecting him to agree; just tossing that out there.]

Your mun-san..they are treating you well, yes?

I respect him, Mako. As a pilot, he is one of the best.

[Which says a lot, coming from him.]

Indeed. No need to be concerned. I promise.

He is, yes. I could not ask for a better partner.

[At least he was being nice.]

...If you are certain. I do not want harm to come to you, sir.

... Good. You'll do well.

[Compliments?? Are you okay, sir.]

Don't concern yourself too much with me. You need to keep your focus where it counts.

..Thank you, sir. I hope to make you proud.

[Because doing that is what matters most to her, outside of just getting revenge against the Kaiju.]

I will always worry about you, Pentecost-san. That is not something that will change.

You will.

[He knows she will. He expects it of her -- he believes it of her.]

[... for all he never wants to lose her, he knows she'll be great.]

As stubborn as you are brave, I see.

[Did someone call for a Category V kaiju? Because there certainly is one roaring.]

[Really?

REALLY?

Is there no place safe around here?!]

Mun-san it might be best if we leave now. I am not certain that this is going to end all that well.

[She doesn't like the sound of that roar. At all.]

Mako, you are a Ranger. You have the drive to become more. The question is not can you entertain your mun, but can they entertain you.

Do not give them the option of not listening. I have seen Gipsy Danger respond to you; what is a mun when you have commanded a Jaeger?
