Location: Residential District
(February 8, 2521, around lunchtime. Open to all.)
This place was much too open.
Voile needed the food though, and it was the closest place that he had been able to come to. RS was safely tucked away in his pocket so that no one would be able to recognize him, but he honestly must be mad for coming to Innerpeace.
The young human had his hood down, brown hair falling in his eyes as he leaned against a counter, waiting for his lunch. It had better come quickly. Hopefully, he wouldn't run into snoopy people.

Julianne drug Pandora along to street, smiling widely as she chattered. "This place is great, the food is cheap and absolutely to die for!~" She was smiling as she walked, glancing back to Pandora as she did so.
Anyone who would dare give Pandora or her a look of any kind would be returned with a glare that would send some hunters running for cover. NO ONE would get away with giving a dirty look on her watch, and if anyone dared SAY something? Well... lets not get into that.
For the moment, Julianne would lead Pandora to a nice seat and have her sit down before plopping in her own seat, her apron actually not on at the moment. She was wearing a belt with a fanny pack attached, which was where Model Jw now resided; he felt something. He shifted lightly in the pack and nudged Julianne, who turned and unbuckled the pack, setting it on the table and looking into it.
"I sense another biometal nearby. I'm not sure exactly where just yet, I'll need to look around." He said, peeking out of the bag.

Pandora did not want to be a part of this, but apparently she is. In her full armor. Which stood out more than anything else in the world. Her big red eyes looked around the area as people stared at her. Yes, a Megaman. Who? Well, Pandora hopes to whatever deities that existed that they didn't know who she was.
Is it that mysterious girl from Serpent Inc. years ago? She thought she heard a whisper. Either way, Julianne was telling her about an awesome restaurant and she squeaked a reply before she was dragged in.
Pandora sat down daintily, her worried huge eyes looking around as she observed her natural surroundings and the place. It was pretty nice, well cleaned, and there were only a few people for now. Some kid in a hoodie was nearby and she trailed over to stare at him before looking back at Model Jw in the sack.
"... I see. ... I didn't know there were other... um... Megamen." Pandora spoke quietly. Seriously, where did they come from? Maybe other people... she had no idea. She'd have to ask.

As it so happened, Ashe wound up entering this particular restaurant not long after Pandora, Julianne and Voile. She honestly wasn't even on duty, but was rather seeking a bite to eat and had some extra cash to throw around. When she walked in Pandora's armor design immediately stuck out to her. It hadn't been anywhere near long enough for her to forget such a...unique head design, to say the least. Ashe's first response was to stop where she was. She had been taken by surprise, and wasn't ready to defend herself. Luckily, this was not a cleverly organized plot to assassinate her either. Her first thoughts were 'Danger!', but these thoughts quickly gave way to the fact that it was specifically Pandora, someone she'd thought to have perished during Albert's 'games'.
Ashe... was honestly not sure how to react to this. It was as if the ghost of one her greatest failures was haunting her, and yet Pandora was no ghost. The aforementioned failure was of course Ashe's failure to save Prometheus and Pandora from the collapse of Albert's underwater volcano. It had... not been the high point of that war, to say the least. The result? She just sort of stared with this 'Oh snap' expression on her face. Perhaps if they weren't in a crowded restaurant she would've been less surprised, but this was the last place she would've pictured something like this happening. This would be much more fitting in her nightmares.

Voile sat down once he got his lunch, not too far from Julianne and Pandora since he didn't really have that much of a choice. The woman was dressed in rather interesting clothing. What was with all of that... armor? It made her look like him or Aven or even that Alki girl when they were Megamerged. He was about to start eating when Model RS nudged him and spoke up quietly.
"I sense Biometals... two of them are coming from around that table over, and the third is near the entrance."
So the woman in the armor was a Megaman? What was she doing dressed up like that, anyways, in public, no less? He was surprised that the security mechaniloids hadn't gone after her at one point. She looked quite nervous, too, though Aven's girlfriend her friend seemed to be a bit of a chatterbox.
"One of them must be from the woman that is acting like Q. The others... maybe her friend, but I can't tell who has the third one."
"Alright..." He hoped RS would hush. They were speaking silently, but there was a good chance that any of the three other Biometals, if not their Biomatches, would hear them.

Julianne subtly looked around as a VERY nervous looking waitress came up and asked what they wanted to drink. Julianne had told Pandora previously that she was treating them both, so the shy Megaman could order whatever she wanted.
Ordering the futuristic variation of a lemon-lime soda, she returned to scanning the restaurant for anyone who might be a possible Megaman.
Ashe gawking in the middle of the restaurant was definitely notable. Did she recognize Pandora? Well, Julianne was prepping some of her more notable vocal exchanges for is anyone wanted to try something. She wasn't above decking someone in the face.
Jw skimmed around the restaurant. Because of the general chatter of people, he couldn't tell the difference between a biometal and a person, so he had to rely on his biometal senses to locate the others. He had narrowed down the basic location to two places, but still couldn't find the precise location.

Pandora squeaked when Voile looked at her, but she vaguely heard a conversation with them, staring at them with wide eyes before eloping up at the nervous waiter. She blinked at the menu before finally speaking up, her voice barely squeaking over the chatter of people nearby.
"... I'll have what she's having..." Intentional TV Tropes aside, Pandora then looked at the menu, wondering what she was going to eat. That is without people staring at her nervously.
Until Ashe came in. Her head snapped over when she saw the flash of white from the ponytail that will never plaster or soak in the rain. She blinked at Ashe in shock. Okay this was officially awkward, and worse than before. She gaped wordlessly at Ashe, wondering what the heck she was going to do. Memories flashed back to the incident at the volcano, her fighting Ashe and Grey, her collapsing from all that negative emotion from the years of Albert abuse.
She slowly lifted her hand up to barely give out a wave, her face awkwardly stiff and her red eyes incredibly wide. She honestly had no idea how to act about this. Should she kill her? Should she wait for Prometheus and then kill her? Should she use this newfound knowledge of 'friendship' on her?
Very comical, Pandora.

No! Not friendship! /My only weakness/!!! Ashe just sort of took in what was happening and wound up giving this awkward, somewhat forced smile. Had Pandora been attempting to murder her things would've been different, but quite frankly she wouldn't have been keen on fighting in the middle of a crowded restaurant even if she /hadn't/ felt guilty over not having been able to get Pandora out of the volcano.
She now had a decission on her hands. Pandora had waved at her. On one hand she could approach, but on the other she questioned whether that was really appropriate considering the context. After a moment she decided she no longer cared about what was or was not appropriate and decided to make her way over anyway. Meanwhile, Model A started audibly, at least to the other Megamen present, complaining in his exceptionally irritating voice.
Model A: "Ashe! Watch out that's /Pandora/! And there are two other biometals--"
Ashe stopped a moment and turned her head in Model A's general direction, answering him briefly.
Ashe: "I know."
Truth is, well, she only knew about the first part. The point was she wanted him to /stop making the situation even more awkward/. After having said that Model A actually fell silent as a matter of fact and Ashe closed the distance between herself and the three Megamen sitting at the table. She couldn't help but wonder if they were the ones wielding the biometals Model A had mentioned.

Voile started on his chicken salad and cup of hot chocolate, which RS occasionally glanced at in an envious manner from Voile's pocket. He loved hot chocolate ever since Sine had introduced him to it, and he wished that he could actually drink it in this form. Hnngh, curse this annoying form of being a floating hunk of rock! Maybe one day, he could take over Voile's body and drink some hot chocolate.
Both Biometal and Biomatch were distracted from their thoughts when a very loud, obnoxious voice started yelling about Pandora and two other Biometals being present.
Well, that made things easy. Voile stared briefly at Ashe and Model A if it was out, while RS let out an amused snort and muttered something about people that didn't know how to remain stealthy.
"Well that took care of any questions I might have had about the third Biometal, RS."
"No kidding."
He watched as the young girl with the loud Biometal sat down with the armored woman whom he guessed to be Pandora, and the white-haired girl. Why was it, that all of the Biomatches he kept running into outside of his own brother, were women?

Julianne definately heard Model A's yelling, and snapped her gaze back to Ashe. Jw sensed a biometal and that woman was either schizo, or talking to her biometal.
Once Ashe began to approach, Juli shifted her position slightly so she get better grab at her concealed buster. If Ashe wanted to try something, she'll be getting a face full of Julianne fist and then a buster to the knee. No one harasses Pandora. Period.
Model Jw was abe to confirm Ashe's Biometal, that just left one other that he couldn't identify right away. where was it?

Pandora would squeak, but that would be too Quint-like but she was too nervous too right now. For now she was looking around, wondering if a hole would suddenly appear beneath her and suck her in so she wouldn't be in this situation anymore. Pandora nervously waited for her drink to appear, fiddling with her fingers as Ashe closed in on her, avoiding the gaze of anybody present.
"..." Well, Model A told her name and every biomatch within a 500 mile radius would know her name now. Ashe seemed to close in on her and she found herself opening her mouth to speak, again, barely above the crowd noise.
"... Have you seen my brother...?" Pandora then wanted to smack herself with her staff for that. Well, her brother was constantly on her mind, especially since she had an almost twin-like relationship with him.

Ashe just sort of gave Julianne this look complete with raised eyebrow. In her experience biometal wielders had a tendency to not be friendly, given her experience had been kind of...unique. Thus, she was very, very aware of any signs of hostility. Yet, she was completely unwilling to start a fight in a crowded restaurant, provoked or not. She decided to trust that neither of the two strangers would do so either, despite not knowing them.
Meanwhile, Pandora had been very forward with her question. Ashe seemed to hesitate a moment, a serious expression crossing her face. When she spoke, her tone was somewhat apologetic, yet holding hope.
"...Nnno."
Her expression softened.
"I thought you both never made it out of there..."
Her tone contained a noticeable trace of sadness, which may or may not seem strange to Pandora, considering she hadn't really gotten to know Ashe in the time they'd known eachother. In truth, Ashe still hadn't gotten out of the mindset that she'd failed to save the two of them. After having learned what they'd both gone through she couldn't help but have thought neither of them deserved such a fate. It had served to fuel her righteous fury in later confronting Albert.

What he wouldn't give to meet Biomatches other than his brother and girls and weren't annoying idiots like a certain someone but he just sat there silently, hoping that the others wouldn't realize that he was the other Biomatch. The kid with the ponytail and the armored woman seemed to know each other and be having a moment.
Oh boy, moments.
"Don't deny it Voile, you're interested." Someone had been hanging around a certain ninjametal a little too much.
"Shove it."
"...Can I have the hot chocolate by the way?" A Biometal could dream, after all.
"Later. Not in public."

Julianne warily watched Ashe as she spoke to Pandora. Her expression softened and she looked to her friend as she asked for her brother. Poor Panny. She put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, a silent reminder that Julianne was still helping Pandora look.
Jw was focused on the rest of the establishment at that moment, trying to track down the final biometal and biomatch. He was listening carefully when he thought he heard a familiar name. Foil? Wait. VOILE. Didn't Aven have a brother named Voile? He sensed another biometal, and he just heard someone use the name 'Voile'. Coincidence? Possible. Was he gonna ignore it? Like hell.
He turned his focus to where he heard the name 'Voile' and skimmed as well as he could from the bag...
There! A young man who seemed to be talking to no one apparent. Julianne seemed distracted with that woman and Pandora...How to get her attention...?

Ashe seemed sad. Pandora has no idea why, but right now the Witch Megaman had to deal with her own emotions and internal conflict, knowing better than to start a fight right here. Maybe she could think about it later, but right now her head was starting to hurt from all of what has been going on. At least both girls seemed to be a bit sympathetic over her lack of brother.
"... Oh." She went quiet again. Ashe then mentioned that she survived and she then looked up again. "... I don't know what happened. I had collapsed, and then... woke up back at the labs." She assumed Prometheus might have woken up before her and carried her back, but that doesn't account for him going missing.
"... I don't know if it's a good thing I survived..." Albert was dead, after all. Does this mean that they don't have to destroy all of his creations, or does this mean she doesn't have to follow Model W? No more abuse...?
It felt... enlightening.
