For Tweak at Skyhook, the Albedo Barony, it's a big freaking deal coming! Bluetooth and Countess heir (Little C some refer to her as) are on their way with a damn entourage to see to 'tour' which means they'll be getting in the way, and work is going to grind to a slow down. Then again, the various crafters are looking forward to showing off.

Yeah, it's the freakin' eternal conundrum...ya make shit that fuckers will appreciate, but for them to appreciate it, ya gotta stop makin' shit so you can babysit 'em while they figger out how it works and why it matters.

Or at least, that's how she expresses her variety of empathy with her fellow crafters.

"So what the furk do they WANT? I mean.. what do they know from good? They can't appreciate half what we got can they?"

"What if they demand more resources?"

"Or cut our budget?"

"Cut it! Look, I be knowin' B fer a time. She done took th' big-ass title, but she still kept her head mostly out of her ass. I know she lookin' for us to have th' drones up an' scootin' 'round, so she gonna be happy with th' special features you been addin'. Anythin' else is bonus. She easy that way."

"We increased the kenning capacities of those drones like you asked. It might help with right of rescue.. that's worth it right there" The Dougal she has taken to calling Ears says. To her credit, the journeyman sidhe rolls with it. it's sthe dream of space travel that matters to her, more than her title.

Ears is what she calls her to her face, anyway, and on a good day. But Ears mostly has good days. "She gonna eat that shit up, yeah. I hearin' they got a whole elementary school worth of childlings with 'em. So Shuri gonna get some new playmates, even if they be older."

She rests her hands on her pronounced rounded belly. "Course, not sure if word done got back to B 'bout this yet."

Another older nocker woman looks at Tweak's belly "They know what causes that now, boss"

"She'll be thrilled" A boggan says "And we have toys for the young ones to show off. The galaxy maker night light and others"

A smirk at the woman. "Yeah, an' some of us know how to use the equipment right. Y'oughta try it sometime."

Some chortles

She nods about the toys. "Oh, you got that translator-ma-gig workin'? I know it still a prototype...."

"It's ah.. got a few glitches. For some reason it puts in curses now and then.. not sure where the furk it picked that dreek up"

"Goddam mystery there. Kick its ass a few times."

The NON Nockers appear to be VERY quiet at this part for some reason

Tweak looks around at the group. "Aw, for fuck's sake...since when is 'ass' a curse?"

"No no ..." Mutters

"Oh, speaking of ass..." One fellow chimes

She looks over...would that fellow happen to be Nec?

Nope. So whoever better tread CAREFULLY

Ah, then she sees it, the robot donkey! Abandoned by the military, it was a project meant to carry 400 pounds.. moves on four legs. Etc.

The crafter says "We've tkaen the designs and improved it. If we ever get to mars, this baby will be trotting along the nocker blooded astronauts"

"Fuck, yeah! Boston Dumb-namics can keep they Big Dog...we got us our Wide Ass!"

"You lead by example, bitch" From behind her she can feel the gaze. If anyone else said that.. well... her trueheart has a condition... and there's lovei n the tone.

Yeah, she thought she felt Nec's presence

A smirk, and she throws a loving middle finger in his direction. To the others, she says, "A'ight, we got anything else, or is you fuckers jus' tryin' t' extend yer damn bathroom breaks?"

"Which would not be necessasry" One nocker says "if you cowards would were willing to use my suck you vac Bidet pants!"

MANY Middle fingers at that, but the others "We're good, Capataz"

"The time for the suck-u-vac will come, don't you fear." But I ain' gonna wear 'em!

So think they all

"A'ight, git back t'work afore I kick yer asses."

And they scamper, some muttering aned complaining, otehrs eager and off... but all wit hthe proper amount of fear/ respect

Nec says "Crack that whip"

"You be lovin' that whip," she smirks at him. "You good?"

"damn woman, Shuri finally crashed from that sugar drug.... " He does look tired. He's been doing more child care of late because they had to put shit into gear for the visit "Little bitch trying to kill her old man. Must know about the empire I set up." He puts hands around the nocker's hips and pulls her to her "Hope the next one is less ambitious."

When she told him she was preganant, he had just about freaked. It's like he thought one was where it would stop because REASONS. But after she revived him with kisses and threats.. he came around

"Next one gonna have big sis t' show 'em the ropes." She smirks at the embrace that doesn't reach as far as it used to. "Fuck, I be a damn dumptruck."

"Shit, you turning into my own personal eclipse" A grin "don't you worry, I'll let you chase Shuri around after you dropped this one in the alley. That'll burn some calories" A look at the hustle going around "You ready for Bluetooth to storm into the place? Need me to hit the matresses? "

His hateful way of speaking might be a bit much for the ltitle countess and he knows it

She looks around also, and sighs. "They workin' like th' condom machine at a strip club. That much be good. B gonna be solid 'bout it. But...y'know it gonna happen that somebody gonna get they panties twisted 'bout somepin. Always happens."

"That's cuz you dumbass nockers don't speak so good" He snorts "But your work be THE balls"

"Got yer balls t'inspire me, Crawley," she smirks again, reassured by his praise.

"Best thing they ever did was lead me to your triffling self" A kiss "They gonna hate us because they aint us, but Bluetooth bbe in charge. Also? little Sidhe bitch be all 'ooo ' over Shuri and boom, elf babysitter"

"Not sure I be lovin' that, but it look like that how it gonna shake down, yeah. Better she be all 'ooo' than all 'lick my toes' so yeah...get her lovin' our girl early."

"I thought that's why we had kids? To sell our label" A smirk then "Baby, you done A LOT of shit in a short time... which is why I feel all neglected" He pats the belly of her and winks "Real thing to worry about is if they ask about my little hobby" His HObby being whoring "Maybe that we won't be saying infront of of the mini bitches"

"I figger that gonna be where the line get drawn, yeah. You c'n resist th' temptation of forcin' B t'explain what a prostitute be?"
