Private Finished Freeloading with a Buddy

"One minute.", Bastet spoke from within, there was a clinking of tools clanking one another and soon the sound of what was clearly a fighting scene came to a halt. Not any second later, her steps could be heard coming closer, with her taking no further delays in opening the door. Bastet clearly had been using a few of her tools, judging by how the back of her gloves are dirty with engine grease and dust.

"You caught me in the middle of something: I was asked to fix someone's fan, that thing was a mess, I'm surprised it didn't burn up when I tested to see how bad it was. But come in, Jackie! Come in!", Bastet was indeed in a good mood, though.

Her room was... Surprisingly organized for most part. The floor before her television had a disassembled desk fan and tools laying close to it, and a familiar black cat that Bastet introduced Jackie to before just gave them a lazy glance from the couch before continuing to nap.

"Only superficially. The motor had too much dust built up.", Bastet did notice Gacha's lack of interest on Jackie. Then again, cats do cats things... "Urgh, the smell of melted plastic. One of the worst things to wake up to. But anyways, Allen Keys... Yes, have them.", she was sure quick to spot the Allen keys set once asked, promptly passing it to Jackie. "I wonder what it was like in DCA. Same things as SLA?", Bastet would soon sit down on the floor to resume the fan repair and beckon Jackie to join her.

"I see you had a lot more of variety there. Most of my life I was part of the Narrow Reality, having a mundane life... Almost, that is.", Bastet didn't need to tell Jackie why it was an "almost", given she already brought up at a previous meeting that she was born cold-blooded, unable to properly regulate her own temperature naturally and having to resort to snacks that warmed her up.

Bringing a tube of engine grease open, she began to apply the new grease on the fan's motor, after it has been cleaned. "Most of the magic I earned was in Narrow Reality, from a mystical artifact containing essences. Managed to find one here in Manta Carlos, following a treasure map.", as she finished speaking, her eyes went to the television for a moment. It was paused at a scene of Kamen Rider Build, the fight between Hazard Build and Grease.

"My fellow in the Narrow Reality are also tracking other Essences while I'm here. Apparently they are all around the world. And there's also the living Essence that is Gacha there.", at Bastet's word, the cat's ear perked up and she gave a tiny meow.

Watching Jackie guess the show, she couldn't help but snicker a little. "Well, Power Rangers is based on Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, but this isn't the Super Sentai show, no. Yes, similar, but not same. This is Kamen Rider Build, part of the Kamen Rider series. westerners received something similar by another studio, which was Masked Rider Black. Never watched that one though.", Bastet unpaused the video and let the epic battle continue.

"Gacha is a funny story: She just appeared in my shadows someday and started following me around. Literally just appeared behind me. Not only that, but she's also protective and you don't want to see her angry.", Bastet chuckled with the creepiest smirk.

"Hm? I do know about soldering, yes. Don't do much though. Ah. The soldering station is in my bedroom, on the desk. Could you please get it for me, Jackie?", for some reason, after she said that Gacha has got up and was looking at Jackie intently. Should Jackie go into the bedroom, she'd notice Gacha come out from under the bed, literally from nowhere.
