Sweeter than Sugar

[John Silver]

"it's alright i'm use to big places after roaming around the etherium fer so long" Silver chuckles moving forward and leans his back agaist the counter now shooting a warm smile at Bridget "uh yerself?" he asks his cyborg eye twinkling with a soft golden glow.

[Hungary]

Tails sighed as he felt himself being ignored, again. He was used to it though. He then noticed how nervous Bridget was. She couldn't blame her though, Pascal was like a hyper puppy, probably Sonic couldn't even keep up with her personality. (Well, he couldn't keep up with Amy's).

"Yah, uh bannas, I'll have bannanas. I don't really mind." the twin tailed fox said. A few moments later, he spoke up again. "Oh, by the way, my name is Tails, nice to meet you all."

[Pascal]

A little delighted sort of noise passed Pascal's lips as she took the bananas from Bridget and began to unpeel one. The Amarcian was clearly easy to please. Not that she was simpleminded or anything like that; Pascal had been known as a genius like her sister around the Amarcian Enclave, and even her friends had praised her genius before. She was just easy to please in terms of what food she liked. Her own response in answer to Bridget's question about how she was liking it in the mansion garnered a muffled statement from the two-tone haired woman. She didn't even seem all that deterred by how rude it must have been for her to speak with her mouth full. In spite of that, she did eventually swallow her mouthful of banana and decided to give a proper answer.

"Oh, you know. It's not a bad place at all! I kinda like it here, actually. Not really what I'm used to, but I think I could get used to it." she said. Finally, it seemed that she had acknowledged Tails' presence. Not that she had missed him before, but Pascal had been so set on helping Bridget that it was as though he wasn't there at all. It sounded as if he liked bananas, too. Pascal just had to get started on talking to him.

"You like bananas too? Cool beans! I didn't think I'd find anyone here that liked 'em besides me." she said. Were she a dog, her tail probably would have been going as fast as her words seemed to be. When she was excited about something it seemed as though there was no end to what she would say and how quickly it would come out. "Don't think you said your name before. What do they call ya?" she asked.

[Tails]

Tails chuckled nervously as the hyper girl talked to him. "Yeah, bananas are one of my favorite snacks, aside from mint candy." Tails said with a friendly grin on his face, taking one of the fruits and peeling it. Boy, she a ball of energy. Not that the young fox minded of course, it meant that she was social and confident. If only he was more like that?

"My name's Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails." The little fox said looking at his twin tails behind him. "What's your name? I don't think I heard yours either." Tails said, taking a bite out his banana.

[Pascal]

"Su-weeet! Bananas are like... the best food ever. I could totally eat them all the time, but Little Bro... that's one of my friends from back home, he's all like 'Pascal, you can't just live off of bananas'. Sheesh." Pascal shrugged a little as she finished speaking. She'd even thrown her best impression of Hubert into her statement. That was something she was rather proud of. "But anyway, it's nice to meet ya, Tails. I'm Pascal, if you couldn't tell that from what I just said." she said. She had a feeling they were going to get along well enough. Then again, Pascal got that impression from just about everybody she met. Even Hubert, who had been rather abrasive and mistrusting of her when they had first met, was someone Pascal had thought would get along with her.

"So, where are you from? I don't think I've ever seen a guy like you before. Not from where I'm from, anyway." she said. She was almost tempted to reach out and pet Tails. He was just so cute! But Pascal knew by that point that it wasn't a good idea to just go around touching people randomly without asking permission first. She'd learned that the hard way when she'd first met Sophie, as had gotten punched right off a cliff for it! But Pascal didn't think Tails would do the same to her.

[Tails]

"No I understood what you said." Tails said before taking another bite of banana. "Anyway, nice to meet you Pascal." Tails offered a warm grin back at the upbeat female.

She then asked him where he was from, it wasn't an everyday question for the fox, seeing as he was usually passed by in favor of Sonic when it came to these types of things, not that he really minded, but it was good to hear someone ask him about his background. "I'm from the planet Mobius, more specifically the West Island." Tails said, the little two-tailed fox then cocked his head little. "And, uh where exactly are you from?" he asked with curiosity.

[Pascal]

"The Amarcian Enclave." Pascal replied casually. She spoke as if everyone in the world had heard of her home, when in truth very few people had likely heard of it. In fact, Pascal was probably the only individual from Ephinea in the area. So naturally, she would probably be the only one to know what she was talking about. Before she could be questioned, though, Pascal took the opportunity to finish off the banana she had started and seemed to be contemplating it as she chewed. Either that, or she was blissfully unaware of the fact that she might have confused poor Tails.

"I grew up there with my big sis and the rest of the people living there. Got kind of a reputation for myself back home." Pascal said. She wasn't purposefully trying to be mysterious, but she wanted to leave it to their imagination what she was talking about. For all they knew, she could have been talking about her intelligence and skill as a scientist of sorts... or she could have been referring to how devoted she became while working and her reputation for not bathing frequently as a result of that fact.

[Tails]

Like most people would've expected, Tails was confuse. "The Amarican Enclave?' he questioned. Because he spent most of his time traveling with Sonic, Tails had been all over the planet, and knew every nook and cranny in it. But he never heard of such place. "I'm sorry, but I've never heard of that place, is it in Mobius?" the kid fox asked.

Then Pascal continued with her backstory. He chuckled after the female said she had some sort of reputation? "What kind of reputation?" he asked. Judging from what he knew of her so far, it couldn't be something horrible.

[Pascal]

Pascal beamed a bit as Tails continued to ask questions. He was the first one she could think of that had immediately asked about where she was from (unlike Asbel and friends, who had left it to Hubert to discover her roots) and this fact pleased her quite a bit. Granted, she had been the one to bring up where they were from before. That was beside the point. The point was that someone had decided to go out on a limb and ask more about the Amarcian Enclave. That was something she was thankful for, especially since it meant that it wouldn't potentially be awkward to explain either.

"It's this place not terribly far from this place called Fendel. Not a bad place, really. It's got snow, an awesome chocolate fountain within the Enclave itself 'cause we Amarcians like chocolate a lot, and since it's not far from Fendel we don't have to worry about buying items if we need them." Pascal explained. The chocolate fountain had been quite the discovery among her traveling companions, at least from what Pascal had remembered. She had had to lecture Asbel and Cheria about not dipping their hands in the chocolate, but that had been quick enough to remedy. All in all, Pascal quite liked her home. Was she homesick? Not at the moment, but that might have changed later on. "Anyway, it and Fendel are a part of this planet called Ephinea. That's probably why you haven't heard of it and I haven't heard of Mobius." she said.

As far as her reputation went... well, Pascal wasn't about to start saying anything about her irregular bathing routine that stemmed from her work. So she'd start with her other reputation. Namely, her reputation as a genius. "Well, my big sis Fourier is pretty much a genius. I wanted to be like her, so I just put my pedal to the metal and whoosh! Bang! Zoom! Before I knew it, I'd gotten a reputation as being a pretty smart cookie myself." Pascal said. A lot of people had praised her for her genius. Even her friends had been impressed by it, in particular the various things she had created during their travels, and it had proven to be useful having her around because of it. "Some people say I might have even surpassed Fourier. I dunno about that, though." she shrugged a little when she finished speaking. Had she been rambling? Difficult to say.

[Tails]

Tails listened as Pascal explained the Amarican Enclave to him. Seemed like a very interesting place to him, especially if they had chocolate, the young fox loved anything sweet. Tails licked his lips at the thought of candy, it reminded him of home. Unlike Pascal, the twin tailed fox was somewhat homesick. He missed his big brother, Sonic and his friends, Amy, Knuckles, Cream, and heck even Shadow!

"Yeah, that's probably why." Tails replied to the girl's statement about their two worlds, with some sadness in his voice. When she went on, his ears perked up when Pascal mentioned that she was a genius. "A genius?" he thought, excitement welling. That was his field, heck he was a child prodigy, name a gadget and Miles Prower could make it. "You're a genius too? So am I! What kinda things do you build?" Tails asked, his homesickness suddenly gone.

[Mami Tomoe]

Bridget smiled at both fox and girl. At least they were having a nice time. She had almost forgotten that the cyborg had addressed her. "Oh, i like it here very much. Everyone is super nice...or so far everyone is..." she didn't admit that she had neither met anyone else besides these three nor did hse want to. Meeting new people, it made her nervous

[Pascal]

"Huh. Guess it is a pretty small world around here! I didn't expect to find anyone else that was a genius." Pascal said. Admittedly, she was rather surprised that Tails was so intelligent. He was probably several years her junior, too. But she supposed that wasn't too bad of a thing; age had nothing to do with genius, after all. She folded her arms across her chest, taking care not to accidentally squish the remaining bananas she held in her grasp, and took a moment to think about what sorts of things she had done. A couple of things popped into her head after a bit, though, so it wasn't as if she was making Tails wait forever for a response.

"Well, I did get this hot water pipeline established in Fendel. Now the people who live there don't have to worry about a lack of warm water or heating. I also worked on researching eleth and the Valkinis Kryes back home. What else? Hmm... oh!"

Pascal's amber eyes lit up with delight when she remembered one of her more recent developments. "Just recently, when my friends and I were getting ready to keep some crazy stuff from going down, I built this robot replica of my friend Asbel. But no one thought it looked like him until I painted it. Then I tweaked it so I could use it as a secret weapon in battle. Pretty cool, huh?" Pascal asked. She wished she had a picture of her mecha Asbel with her. In her opinion, it was one of her better accomplishments.

"Oh... and I've been told I'm a pretty good artist. But I'm not so sure about that. I mostly doodle stuff." she said before shrugging a little. Her art hadn't ever struck her as anything spectacular, but Asbel and the others had been impressed when she'd shown them some of her supposed doodles. Maybe she was just being modest. Who could really say for certain, though? "But enough about me. You guys are probably sick of hearing me yak on like this. What about you, little guy? What kinda stuff have you done?" Pascal asked. It was actually interesting getting an opportunity to sort of pick the brain of another genius. Usually the only one she could really do that with was Fourier, and her older sister wasn't present at that moment.

[Tails]

Tails finished his banana as Pascal told him the stories of her mechanical feats. Building pipelines, robot replicas, they were all very interesting. "Yeah, that's so cool." Tails said. "You're very lucky to have had the opportunity to build such amazing things." he grinned back.

"As for me, well, I don't think I've ever built anything nearly as cool as that." Tails said rubbing the back of his head. When it came to major accomplishments, the fox has always been humble.

"I did help my friend Sonic remodel his biplane, the Tornado, and I even built it's successor the Tornado II, oh yeah and I sometimes build extreme gear, and aside from a few battle robots, not much else." the fox said sheepishly, looking down at his feet after he was finished.

[Pascal]

Even though to some it might not have sounded like much, Pascal was impressed by what Tails had accomplished. Then again, it seemed as though Pascal was pretty easy to impress. That, and she liked Tails. He was a cute kid and totally worth hanging out with. The kid looked like he could use a friend or two anyway. "Cool beans! I've never built anything like a plane before. You must be pretty talented, Tails." Pascal said. If they were in each others' worlds right then instead of at the mansion, she would totally invite the two-tailed fox to hang out at her house. Who knew? Maybe they could swap ideas and help each other work on projects.

Then, at long last, Pascal realized she had completely ignored Bridget and the other individual in the kitchen. Whoopsie! she thought. "Sorry 'bout that, guys. I got so caught up in talking to Tails here I forgot you guys were here." she said. Now that she was actually acknowledging Silver, the Amarcian woman got the chance to see just what he looked like. Needless to say, the sight of the cyborg was surprising. "Whoa... how'd ya get all techy like that? It looks really cool." Pascal said.

[Tails]

"Talented? No, I'm far from talented." he said, blushing. Whenever someone complemented his tinkering skills, he felt so humbled, as if he wasn't worthy of the attention. But around, Pascal he did feel a little more confident, especially coming from a fellow inventor. "But thanks, for the compliment Pascal." he finished, before realizing that he had completly forgot about Bridget and Silver.

"Yeah, sorry for forgetting about you guys." he apologized, knowing the feeling ignored.
