Location: Residential District
(OOC: Takes place April 14, 2521 around 7:18pm. Just Fio, Thor, and Henry for now.. and Sharpei if she really wants to hop in. Oh, and their Biometals, too.)
Just the start of another work week, though.. this one wasn't going to start like the others. Fio knew what today was, and today was a rather important day to a couple of friends of hers. Their birthday! And while Fio couldn't just not run the truck for a day, she did decide to make only one stop today. It was one of those weeks where she'd be hitting it big at one of the offices later on in the week anyway. It'd all even out.
While she couldn't really afford to spend too much on birthday gifts, there was one thing she'd wanted to do. And that was make the two a nice meal to eat. Something she hadn't yet put on the food truck because, well.. lasagna just took too long to make.
It'd taken a few hours, but it was finally done. She took a few small trays she'd 'borrowed' from her own fine establishment and slid a slice into each tray, as well as two bread sticks that she'd carefully sat on top of the lasagna. After placing lids onto the individual trays, she placed the trays into a small basket with some plastic forks and knives. "You ready to go, Model Fi? You'll get to see Em."
Elec! That was the main reason Fi had been excited to go over to Thor and Henry's place. His twin was there and he missed him like you wouldn't believe. "O' course I am! I'll just stay in yer pouch til we get there. That Henry guy does know 'bout biometals, righ'?" Henry.. Why did that lover boy have to be there, too..?
Fio sighed. Did Henry know..? Guess she'd have to find out for herself. What would he think if he found out both she and his twin were both Mega Men? He wouldn't try to steal Fi would he? He'd already stolen several things from her so far. "I don't know if he does or not. Might.. be safer to just stay in the pouch for the time being. Come on. Let's get going." She closed the pouch Fi had snuck his way into and made her way out of her apartment.
She went up the stairs and went down the hall. Ah. There it was. Thor and Henry's place. Carefully holding the basket with one hand, she knocked on the door. "Thor..? Henry..? You guys home..?"

And meanwhile a certain pair of twins had been in the apartment for most of the day. The elder, of course, had been working on figuring out just what was in the package that Henry had signed for while he had been distracted with his afternoon coffee with plenty of sugar and chocolate-hazelnut creamer. After all, Thor loved his coffee. Not half as much as Godot or Quick Man but still, the guy loves his coffee and only keeps blasphemous tea for his twin brother. Of course, he himself had been sitting atop a gift for hours; that was to say, he'd stuffed a new set of bedsheets under the cushion of his old, battered couch.
He took a sip, musing out loud. "...Knowing Henry he probably hunted down books."
Model Em gave a snicker. "...Of course. Because it's obviously not stolen pens like you got on your guys' seventeenth birthday. I remember you telling me that story." Secretly, however, he hoped that Thor was right. After all, the guy adored books, and Thor really needed the happiness after the ordeal they had went through as a result of the tournament. Mind you, he thought Henry, though he couldn't really interact with the other, also deserved the happiness.
Thor chuckled, taking a sip of his coffee. Of course he remembered telling Em about that. It was one of the more hilarious birthdays he'd ever had--if only because Henry tried to act all innocent even though they both knew he was as guilty as sin. "...We're in our twenties now. Honestly. Henry's gotten better about his kleptomania. He only steals what he needs. And sometimes shiny objects but he used to be far worse, and that's the point." He then took another sip. "Now lay back down on the table. As far as Henry knows, you're a mask that I found on an archaeological dig and I'd like to keep it like that, okay?"
He quickly set down his coffee when he heard a knock on the door. He then nodded to Model Em and approached the door to peek in. Had to make sure it was Fio. "Well hey there, Fio!" He opened the door carefully. "I believe Henry's either using the facilities or is arguing with Sharpei in the kitchen."
Model Em squeaked. "...Fire? You there?"

Henry, meanwhile, was in a different location of the apartment, setting a pen to stiff paper product. He was already starting the second Truth Ordaire book, and he was making good pace at it. Notwithstanding the fact that the first book hadn't been published yet though he had sent it out to a few publishers, requesting the pseudonym H. G. Hermes be attached to his novel. After all, he had plenty of time to write where he was currently seated. At least, until he got done with what he was doing where he was. Once he was done with what he was doing where he was, he bunched up the paper product and pocketed it, then tucked a hospital pen behind his earpiece with a hum and flushed.
He then peeked out of the bathroom, a small scrap of toilet paper trailing behind his heel. "Thor, we're gonna need more TP. I have no idea where it went."
He then gave an awkward grin and blush toward Fio, who he could see at the door when Thor had opened the door. Oh my, this was going to be rather awkward. He blushed a nice bright red and chuckled. "Uh, hi there Fio! Ahaha, life been treating you well too?"
His nose then wrinkled at the sound of a strange buzzing again and he gently touched his forehead. Sometimes he even questioned if he was hearing things by now.

And at the moment that Thor had opened the door and Henry had just utterly embarrassed himself by walking out of the bathroom with toilet paper on his heel, Sharpei stepped out of the kitchen, splattered in a mixture of strawberries and chocolate syrup, clutching a tray with three glasses of strawberry-chocolate smoothies.
She looked between Fio who had the basket, then to Thor at the door, and finally to Henry who had toilet paper on his heel. She then glanced down to her pouch, which was thrashing a little, though Model Mt wouldn't say a word because last time he spoke around Em today, he'd gotten screamed at and Henry had ran from the room with a headache.
"...Smoothies, anyone?"

Fio stood at the door, waiting for someone to answer as she shifted the weight of the basket into her other arm. Hopefully they were home.. She really didn't want to feel stupid and feel like she completely wasted the last four hours slaving away on this lasagna for nothing.
But thankfully they were home. She smiled as Thor opened the door. Good to see that they were home after all, and that she hadn't wasted her time. "Hi Thor~. I was hoping you guys would be home."
And there Henry was, coming in with... oh god, was that toilet paper affixed to his foot? Fio blushed a little bit, trying hard not to think about it and looked over to the twin. "Hey there. I've been doing ok. Just been hard at work, and well.. I wanted to wish you a happy birthday and give you guys something. I hope you like it." Fio held the basket away from her, holding it so the twins could easily take it from her if she wanted. And she'd wanted to spend a little time with them, though.. it seemed like they were a little busy with their other company. That girl over there? Their sister maybe? She'd never met her before so she wouldn't know for sure.
"I'm not.. interrupting anything.. am I..? I can always come back later if you're busy..." After all, it was their birthday, and if the girl was their sister, then they were having family time, and well.. Fio wasn't family yet.
------------------- Fi sat in the pouch, staring into the darkness. Wasn't really much else he could do until they got inside the apartment. Strange... He sensed two Biometals coming from inside the apartment. So obviously.. someone was there. Though that was definitely Thor's voice, so.. Em had to be here.
"Elec?! Where are ya?"
He couldn't see anything from inside the pouch, and if Fio wanted him to lie low for now.. chances were he wasn't going to be coming out. But that other Biometal.. it was bothering him. He didn't know who it was at all...
"Who's there...?"

Of course the Steele twins were at home. Mind you they had a visitor for their birthday, but they were here at home. Thor cracked a wide smile. "Well, what a pleasant surprise Fio! Good friends do a man's heart some good, you know."
Thor twitched a little when he heard the expressed need for more toilet paper. His palm almost wanted to meet his face rather harshly, but he managed to crack a less bright smile at his twin brother's antics. "Nice to know, Henry. And just so you know, we have a visitor, and I don't mean our darling little sister~." Thor carefully took the basket in hand giving a soft smile. "Thank you so much, Fio. It smells delicious!" And that was the moment that Sharpei seemed to have burst out of the kitchen with smoothies. He wanted to laugh at his little sister for a moment, but the poor girl was already self-conscious enough as it was, it seemed.
Thor flailed his free hand slightly in front of his face. "Don't leave. I'm sure Sharpei wouldn't mind meeting someone who could become a good friend for her. She needs more girls to hang around with. Besides, she was here to give gifts and make smoothies. Though she seemed to have forgotten gifts." He couldn't help but tease his little sister slightly.
------------
Model Em was still on the table, trying to act like a mask. Act natural. Don't let Henry think he was anything other than a mask. Not that Henry could hear him anyway, right? "Fire? Is that you? I'm on the table right now!"
Oh, while Model Fi didn't know the second biometal, Model Em did. One that he'd screamed at a good two or three times at, all of them deservingly in his eyes. The twins were onto you, Model Mt!

Henry gave a flustered look toward his twin brother. "Thor, I'm well aware that we have a visitor--a visitor who I was hoping to see today." He then smiled softly to Fio and gave a grin. "Why thank you for the wonderful gifts for us. They smell heavenly."
He then glanced to Sharpei. Poor, awkward Sharpei. He chuckled softly. "Thank you for the delicious birthday gift too little sister. I'm sure Fio here wouldn't mind a smoothie, and you look a little thirsty yourself. You ought to make you girls some smoothies as well, sis."
And then the slight sound of buzzing started ringing in his ears. Thor had claimed that it was probably a fly. It probably was, to be fair. He just wish he didn't get those migraines when he heard flies, however. Damn Flygraines.

Sharpei gave a sheepish look toward Fio. "Well, I was just here to give 'em their gifts and hang around because my boyfriend's busy and I don't really have anything to do. Plus there's really nothing on TV. Not even an exercise show involving the latest dancercise craze." She then whined slightly when Thor teased her. "I thought I said that the smoothies were your gifts...I couldn't really afford anything so I was gonna make you smoothies..."
When Henry told her she should make more smoothies, Sharpei squeaked and nodded. "S-sure! More smoothies! Here! Henry, take Thor's. Looks like he's got his hands full there." She then handed over the second smoothie and dashed back into the kitchen, her pouch rattling wildly. The Biometal inside flew out and smacked into the ceiling, then spun dizzily for a few moments before smacking into the kitchen door while trying to float after his Biomatch.
------
Model Mt squeaked wildly, keeping trying to smack into the door to see if it would open. He hadn't really realized Henry really didn't know about the Biometals. "Sharpei! Wait up! Don't leave me with Elec! He's gonna kill me!" He then whined more. "And there's this other Biometal and I don't know who it is and I'm scared Shar!"
When Model Fi gave a sharp question of who was there, Mt froze up and squeaked more. "Don't kill me...p-please..."

Fio blushed quite a bit. Henry'd been expecting her..?! This was rather awkward. And it was awkward enough that she'd walked in while they'd had another guest. Though with careful observation she could tell that it was their sister. Thor had spoken about her before, after all.
But at least Thor thought the food smelled good. "I hope it is. I spent the last few hours working on it. I only made one stop with the food truck today just to do this for you guys. I put several pieces in there for you guys so you could have extra for lunch or dinner or whenever~."
"You're sure..? Well, I'll stay for a bit I guess. A smoothie does sound kinda good, but you don't have to make one for me if you don't want to. After all, you weren't really expecting me to drop in like this." She rubbed the back of her head with her hand. Yep. Awkward. Just as awkward as that toilet paper on Henry's foot.
That was when something flew out from the girl's pouch. A Biometal! And he didn't seem real happy to get thrown out of her pouch either. This was Model Mt.. right? Wasn't he... the one Model Fi and Em were talking about that one time?
...The one that'd killed them? Fio carefully opened her pouch, slipping her own Biometal near Model Em. There. You had your twin now.
----------
Elec! There he was. On that table he seemed, but he couldn't get to him from where he was right now.. "Yeah, I'm here. I'm still in Fio's pouch, but I'm righ' here." At least he knew where Elec was... That way if he got out of the pouch, then he'd know where to look. But lucky for him, Fio pulled him out and sat him on the table.
".....!" That Biometal. The one who'd been flung from the pouch. He.. he looked so familiar! But who was it..?!
"I asked ya a question... Who's there..?"

Thor chuckled. Oh Henry, you were such an incorrigible flirt. Your brother was mentally facepalming at how obvious the flirting was, though he would not say it out loud. All he would do was occasionally cast one of those faint glances that his twin really would have been the only one to understand the meaning of.
"After trying some of your wares before, I'm pretty sure I can say it's good. I mean, you work hard on it instead of digging a box of it out of the freezer." Here, he cast a guilty little look aside. That was really the only way he was able to make lasagna himself. "I'm glad you put quite a bit in there. That'll keep us from having to order something that isn't really all that healthy 'cause we'll have something delicious and healthy."
Thor grimaced when something flew out of Sharpei's pouch. Wait. Not just something. That certain little biometal he'd given her as a birthday gift. A biometal that she seemed to baby like a child.
Erk.
---------
"Darn...soon. Soon we'll be..." Before Model Em could utter "together", Fio placed Fi on the table. Em slid himself closer so that he could be touching his twin.
He gave a hostile growl at Model Mt. "...You better answer him if you wanna live to see tomorrow." Not that Model Em would have let him live anyways. He just liked making death threats at Mt.

Henry gave a cheeky grin. Yes, he had expected her after telling her their birthday. That and he had really hoped to see her again. It had been nice to have some intelligent conversation with someone who was rather pretty to him. And of course, as much as Thor thought the food smelled good, Henry did as well. He was trying so hard to not leap at it right that very second.
He gave a chipper tone. "Oooh, so we could even share with you and our sister if we were so inclined, yes?" Why yes, Fio. Henry was offering to share some of that delicious lasagna with you. After all, Fio was a guest and he couldn't help but want to offer the guest some good food.
He blinked quite a bit when Model Mt flew out of the pouch at his sister's waist. Just what were these things that his siblings had, and why were the flygraines starting up yet again? "...One of these days I'm going to have to figure out what those weird mask things are and how they work."

"Oh, but it's fine! Really! It's something I like to do. About the only thing I can make in a kitchen." This wasn't completely true. Sharpei wasn't exactly a great cook, but she wasn't a horrid chef that couldn't cook to save her life either. She just didn't want to be bothered to cook all the time because she didn't have as much cooking skills as others had.
She poked her head out of the kitchen not too long after she had gone in. "Ah, shoot. Sorry about that..." She then hastily grabbed Mt and jammed him back down into her pouch. How very and utterly awkward. She then pursed her lips somewhat. "So...uh...want just plain Strawberry smoothie or strawberry-banana?"
-----
Model Mt squeaked nervously. Damn it, those two weren't going to stop until he told them who he was. Augh. He didn't want to have to say it, but he was about to be forced to regardless. "I...I'm...Metal Man. At least...I was...I'd prefer Model Mt if you don't mind."

Oh Fio was well aware of the flirting, and it only made her blush harder thinking about it. They'd only just met a few weeks ago and he was already doing it.. It wasn't that she didn't like the flirting; in fact, she was flattered by it. It was just.. weird that someone was actually doing it.
Yep, Fio had made that lasagna from scratch. It was just looked nicer and was a tad bit healthier than the frozen kind from the box. But don't think she didn't notice that look, Thor. "There's no problem with making the frozen kind. Sometimes it's just easier, and less messy, too. But it doesn't beat homemade though. I hope you guys do like it though. I put some breadsticks in there as well~."
Loopholes.. didn't you love them? "Well.. I did make it for you guys, but what you do with it's up to you, so, um... sure~?" She'd take some if Henry and Thor really wanted her to, and she was more than fine with them letting their sister have some as well.
Speaking of sister.. she watched as that Biometal was suddenly thrust into that pouch of hers. Mt.. So this was Sharpei? Fio'd had a feeling, but at least the Biometal confirmed it. "Strawberry-banana sounds delicious~. If.. that's ok of course~." Fio rubbed the back of her head, giggling nervously. Awkwaaaaard.. Though there was one other thing she'd noticed, and that was Henry's reaction to Model Mt.
"Mask things..?" Was that what he thought the Biometals were?
----------
The moment he was freed from the pouch and placed on that table, Fi slid towards Em and stuck to him like they were built with magnets of reverse polarities. Nothing was going to separate him from his twin. Nothing but their Biomatches when it was time for Fio to go back to her apartment, but that probably wouldn't be for awhile. "I missed ya.."
But at least the other guy was talking now.. sorta. Fi gasped slightly. Model Mt.. Metal. He was the third Biometal in the room. "Metal......" He growled a little, trying to refrain from getting off that table and headbutting Metal a few times. Hey, it was all he could do now that he was a rock shaped like a face.

Thor chuckled softly and smiled. "Homemade always trumps frozen. Well, except in the case of my attempts at making smoothies but we'll save that for another day. Oh! And thanks for the breadsticks too, oh gosh this reminds me of that day I came to your truck singing like a crazy person, ahaha!" At least he had a sense of humor about such things. He wasn't going to let himself live down such a zany happening. After all, it was funny.
He would glance to the kitchen door when Sharpei would head into the kitchen, shaking his head. "Sometimes I worry about that girl."
He paused and lifted his brow when Henry spoke up about "mask things". Was there something that his twin brother was missing here? Was that what he really thought the Biometals were? Ack... "...Henry, it's a long story..."
---
Model Em was determined not to let himself be separated from his own twin. And a song kept playing in his memory--one he couldn't quite make out. Something about magnets and butterflies. It probably wasn't as important as his twin was to him. "I missed you too."
He himself became very tense and angry, and only restrained himself because of his twin. "...Yes. Metal...little murdering punk!"

Of course, that would encourage Henry all the more to flirt since the blushing just made him want to flirt more. He couldn't help his taste in ladies. Any lady that would chase him down to claim back her bedsheet was a girl who knew to hold onto that which was precious. And he'd pursue someone like that, when most guys hadn't panned out, and a few girls hadn't either.
Oh yes, Henry loved loopholes. He loved exploiting them for fun sometimes too. "Then I'll offer you some." After all, she was a guest and guests deserved good food too!
He pursed his lips some, then nodded. "They're masks aren't they? Like...special ones, right?"
