Machines and things (For hot_engineer!)

Welcome to the garage of Arabelle Kintotech! It's a great and massive thing probably once used for a mechanic's place or a car lot's garage. Most of the building's been modified by this point by Arabelle and others. Various structural modifications, and a self sustaining power source (This was not her doing, but Kimiko's before she left

"Hey! Hope I'm not late!"

That would be Lucca, stumbling through a black portal and stuffing the Gate Key into her bag all in one not-so-fluid motion. She's sans helmet and tunic once again, but still with that large man-cut green shirt.

"Wow. How much a' this is the Blader?" She adds, taking a look around and adjusting her glasses.

Given the bright and sunny weather of the day, Arabelle's got the garage door wide open, letting the sun and breeze filter in nicely. The breeze occasionally makes her wings flick and shift a little. "That skeleton over there, and most of the heavy plate metal that I've painted blue." Arabelle explains, "And nah, y'aren't late."

"I ain't finished with the engine yet," She jerks a thumb at the engine-on-a-rack-thing, "'Cause I'm still modifying the one I found." The one she found was most of the engine to a VW beetle, parts of one from a Porsche, among other cars, but a lot of the modded parts sit out on the nearby workbench, "I've got to get it t'generate enough power to lift this heavyass thing and propel it forward. Or maybe go with somethin' else."

"What kind of propulsion system is it going to fuel? Or is it more of a gravitic drive thing?"

Thing is a technical term, here. She drops her bag with a clank and saunters over to the half-an-auto-museum that promises to be an engine someday.

"First thing's first, I gotta know what we're applying power to and how."

"Well, it flies in the air with a prop and uses a sort of minor jet-propulsion system to force it forward. A B-Blader's not th' most aerodynamic thing in the world. The prop's supposed t'go fast enough to keep it off the ground."

Beat, "Kinda like a Bee, hence the name and design."

"But The trick is, I gotta keep the engine weight kinda down." She explains, following Lucca's lead. "Which is why I'm usin' a car engine. What I know, and what I can use." Her wings flick slightly.

It should be noted on a further and more cursory glance, that the B-Blader skeleton lacks the head of the machine, mainly because that's a completely different kettle of parts. "As for what powers it, these're normally standard combustion engines, I was thinkin' maybe you an' I could rig up sommat different."

Even if Lucca's not facing Ara, the grin's pretty obvious in her voice.
