[Action]

[Heart's awakening in Luceti happened sometime around noon today. She woke up behind on of the buildings near the square, and upon awakening the relatively tall robot girl found herself rather... perplexed. For one, she distinctly recalled being told they were going to deactivate her and she clearly was not deactivated if she felt responsive now. For two, there was something off with her outer frame; it had been changed. Two extra appendages on her back...

Hmm.

Either way, the change in her clothing or setting didn't alarm her that much. While this certainly was not the Mansion, nor the facility where he earliest tests have been done, she was used to being awoken after a shut down in strange places by now. This white sundress was even a little cute. Thus, with a slight smile on her face, she began her observation of the square, curious about it.

When she noticed that everyone else here also had these strange appendages on their backs - wings - she was confused at first, but then eventually concluded the simplest answer: humanity must have changed since she was last shut down. Thus, as she sat down on a bench in the square, she began to go through the motions - though she had no control over it, it was merely her systems compensating for this new observation as well as her own physical changes - to rewrite her internal definition of human to include the wings.

Give her a good half hour to do that and she's back on her feet! This girl would have been completely unresponsive during that half hour, so maybe you saw her then. Maybe you saw her now! Point is, she's snooping around the square but not talking to anyone while in a new feather outfit. Plus, well, she can't talk to anyone until spoken too. Please do feel free to run into her.]

[Also if you didn't read it yet, reading this my aid to you understanding of interacting with her.]

[...Well that was a pretty roundabout answer. She's not sure if that counts or not. She's going to stay silent as she keeps processing that for the remaining 20 seconds of the window in which he needs to answer.]

Hey, but even though I want to be loved, don't go telling anyone. I have an image to keep up.

[...Ding. Well then, onto the next random question:] Pick my personality; one, two, three, four, five, or six?

Your personality? Wait, what do the numbers mean?

[Now answer as per programming. Just stare. Lots and lots of stare]

[He gets the sense he's being timed.]

Five! Five sounds good. Let's go with five.

[...PROCESSING...

And then she immediately folds her arms. She also snorts and then glares at him-] What's with that stupid expression on your face? Geez, you'd think you were a fish or something.

Hey! I played your stupid number game, what's with the attitude?

Yeah and you're supposed to be a pirate? Oh, I'm shaking in my boots already. [She scoffs a bit, but then looks off to the left before-] Anyway, I'm Heart. Might as well give me your name so I don't need to call you "Fishface" or something.

I am a pirate. Guybrush Threepwood.

That's a stupidly long name for a pirate. [Stare...] I'm going to call you Fishface after all.

Oh yeah, a joke about the name. Real original.

Original? Oh, so you get people pointing out how dumb it is regularly? Might as well change it in that case.

[Complete with a light laugh thing on the end there]

Hey, you don't wanna start an insult battle with me. I defeated the insult swordmaster of Melee Island.

What, am I supposed to be impressed at that?

Well, no one around here seems to care, I'll admit, but back home it's a big thing.

Good for you.

[Looking at her dress, Guybrush remembers that she's new. She's probably just confused and that's why she's acting this way.]

Listen, if you want some new clothes there are some shops around here that will give you some.

Yeah? And why would you know that, huh?! [Snenow jabs a finger into Guybrush's chest. While she isn't strong, the "bones" in her fingers are made of metal, so this might be a more solid impact than would normally be expected. Either way, she gets in his face now] A pirate, huh? You get off on stealing girl's clothes?! Is that it?! [Two more finger jabs after that]

[He steps back, away from those jabs.]

Hey! I only stole girl clothes once! And even then I stole it from a guy. Still not sure why he wore that...

But I didn't kidnap you or take your clothes! That was the Malnosso!

You have ten seconds to explain what a Malnosso is, you jerk! You already confessed to being a pirate, you might as well be a pervert and a thief.

[That scares Guybrush. He can't let himself get a reputation for being a pervert. Elaine might hear about it! He answers very, very fast]

They're a mysterious organization definitely not made up of zombie pirates who trapped us in a barrier to perform experiments on us with doubtless sinister goals.

[There's a pause here.]

Oh, and now they're making us fight a war for them.

[...Hm. Well. That's alarming. She folds her arms. She doesn't say she lets him off the hook, but he does stop glaring at him in favor of looking off to the side]

That's really unbelievable.
