Tiny was absolutely fascinated by Lucky's workshop. There were bits and bobs of things all over, all the necessary tools to do the work. It looked a lot like her boxes, really. She was more than eager to help him build something. Anything at all. The entire process was enthralling.

"You work here? All the time?"

Tiny bounced over to Lucky, happily clinging to his arm. She'd left her sweater (and a few other things) inside the house so she was simply wearing one of his shirts and a pair of boyshorts.

"What are you building now? Can I help? Do you know how to program it to make it move?"

Knowing Lucky, he got up super early to start on his newest project. He went to the workshop which was just a playground for all types of robotics nerds. It was a beautifully messy place with all sorts of part thrown about and just in weird places and you probably wouldn't believe it wasn't organized but it surely was. Certain types of parts had their own little section in the workshop for instance, where Lucky was where the gears area. He was pushing a shopping cart around and stuffing most of the parts he thought he needed and then headed to the "creation zone" part of the workshop which was where all the planning and building things happen at.

He pulled out some scrabs of metal and with the use of his powers he was able to shape it into a minifigure of some guy. Next, Lucky went to one of the tables and just pushed everything off of it and placed the minifigure on the table.

"Oh Tiny you are up! Pfft I don't work here I basically live here!!" Lucky smiled at seeing Tiny and went over to her....then he flicker her on the forehead when she started asking her barrage of questions.

Lucky picked up and placed Tiny on the table and gave her a kiss on where he had flicked at. "Wearing my clothes hm?" he smirked a bit as he reached over behind her to grab the minifigure of the statue he had made.

"Yes. To all your questions." Lucky would raise the minifigure up to her face so she can get a look at it. "We are going to make our very own street performer! And yes you will get to play with my blowtorch today."

Tiny flushed bright red at being picked up, wrapping her arms around Lucky and nuzzling into his neck while he carried her. The blush deepened when he kissed her forehead, awkwardly avoiding looking at him when he started talking.

"It's comfy."

The shirt fit her like a dress, and she seemed to have purposely gone looking for one that hadn't been recently washed and had grease stains all over it. She didn't have to mention that it smelled like him. She hugged the loose shirt tight around her and he probably understood that it made her feel safer.

Tiny took the tiny figurine, turning it in her hands and examining every detail. It looked simple enough.

"I can code it. As long as you can put it together."

Tiny looked around the room, hopping off the table to grab the blowtorch and turn it on, stricking a mock pose of a femme fatale with a gun.

"Let's light it up"

Lucky watched Tiny for a bit. He was puzzled because well he wasn't sure why he liked her since she was a freaking wimp and wasn't even his type at all. "Sheesh stop being cute and help me out." He pulled at one of her cheeks and went away for a bit to get his shopping cart of parts.

He pulled the cart with the mountain of parts around the corner and put it near the table. "So you can code it? That's great!" Lucky began to unload the goods and placing all this random junk on the table.

Lucky glanced over at Tiny and her posing and almost started laughing. "Okay hold that pose." He snickered and pulled out his phone to take a picture of her. "Myyy new screen saver!" He went over to show Tiny and then ushered her over to the table so they can begin welding things together.

"Do you even know how to work a blowtorch?" he got Tiny some saftey gear to put on and welding mask which was probably way bigger than her head. "Now all you have to do is turn it on and aim it here" Lucky pointed and drew a line down on one of the parts. "Clean cut...just...avoid burning down my workshop."

Tiny held the pose, flushing and looking away when she realised he had been taking a picture, but it was too late and the deed was done. She actually... Looked really cute in that picture. Tiny hated it. She wasn't cute. Lucky didn't laugh because he thought she was cute, he laughed because it was entertaining. She was a dirty criminal. She always had been. Time for a new subject.

"I can, yeah. Just need to know where ya plan on hooking things up and what code you prefer. It's pretty easy."

Tiny shut off the blow torch and followed Lucky to the table, where he covered her in safety equipment too big for her and a welding mask she could hide her entire body behind if she tried. It was ridiculous, and she found herself giggling at the thought of maybe doing this regularly. Just turn it on and follow the line. Just follow the line, Tiny.

The blowtorch burned hot, Tiny holding it at arm's length while she did exactly as he said and followed the line. She was a little shaky, but it was a rather clean cut nonetheless.

"Is that good? I didn't mess up did I?"

"Ah coding...see I'm not really good with coding unless it is like super basic. What type of coding do I need to make it move around a little?" Lucky eyed Tiny a bit and put his phone away as they approached they table.

He could just use gears for it however that would mean more maintenance by going out and oiling it up like it's a tin man. Holy shit they are making a Tin Man.

"Holy Shit, Tin Man. This will be called The Tin Man." Boom a cool clever name for a cool clever device...err thing. Lucky looked over Tiny's shoulderd as she began to cut the piece of metal making sure she wouldn't fuck up but she didn't yay!

"Good Job! You know iiiif you want I can let you work here if you'd like~" Lucky helped Tiny remove the safety gear and then examined the pieces of metals. "Alright this can do.."

He inhaled and clothes his eyes and raised a finger and as you guessed one of the pieces would begin to float. Next he did some fancy dancey hand movements and the piece of metal began to fold in on itself and change shape to form into the what looks of a male body. It was a just a mere shell so that they could fill the insides with gears and things to make it move.

"Alright so the joints would most likely have gears or something so that it can move now we have to basically create a nervous system with wires and coding!"

"Tin man's coding would depend on what he's doing. Should be easy if you want him to just do the robot. That'd just be a repeating series of actions."

Tiny flushed when he offered her a job, but she wasn't nearly as good as he was. It felt great to be around him, but he was very clearly not in her league. Kind of. Did getting arrested make him closer to her league? She kinda hoped so. She liked this one. Her skills weren't even very useful here. He could manage to put everything together on a whim, as he'd already proven.

"I... Already have a job. T-Two of them. Hacking and waitressing. I'd suggest you stop by but.."

Tiny trailed off. She had no right to say what was on her mind. It didn't matter to her if he went and then forgot all about her when he met the other girls. She didn't really expect him to remember her after this. It was easier to pretend she didn't care, than to know she did and get hurt.

"I can handle all the wiring, if you put all the gears together."

Lucky thought on what he wanted the tin man to do. Sure simple coding but he wanted to be a bit realer. "How about something where it reacts when someone walks by it...like a sensor?"

He went and searched in the cart again and pulled out a few parts. "We could put sensors in the eyes and maybe one more somewhere else."

Lucky brough the parts over to Tiny and wasn't really paying attention much to her talking or well the way she was being. "Sure. I'd like to stop by wherever resturaunt you work at..." She didn't turn down his offer or even accepted which could be good? "Well if you get tired of being a waitress you can come on and work here! Hell you can still just come to the workshop and help out whenever you want."

He moved over to The Tin Man and began placing the sensors where the eyes would be at and making sure there were in properly.

"After we finish setting up the wiring and clothes we got to get this guy some fresh clothes!" Lucky handed a bucket of wires and things over to Tiny so she can start on that while he work on getting the gears in place.

The Tin Man dream will soon be real!

"Sensors. So it doesn't wear itself out. Smart. I can do that. We should put a light sensor on his head, and attach lights for when it gets too dark to see him anymore."

Tiny poked and prodded at the metal man, curiously poking at the flawless seaming. Damn, he was good. This was really good work, and she was impressed. Maybe she'd have to break a few things and bring them in just to watch him work. Or she could try and coax him into building her a motorcycle. That would be fun. Maybe she'd have to take him up on the offer and find a sturdy shelf to appropriate for when she came to 'help out' at the workshop.

Tiny wiggled in on the other side of the tin man, reaching into his head to connect a signal wire and power wires to the censors. She just continued ducktaping wires to the side to keep them out of Lucky's way as he put the gears and motors in. It was relaxing, and Tiny was soon grinning from ear to ear while she worked.

"Light sensors...good idea!" Lucky stopped what he was doing to quickly go get some lights and brought them over to Tiny so she can hook them up.

He went back to getting alk the right parts in place and making sure that the gears would allow some fluid movement and lock in place when needed. Once he was finished, Lucky stopped to go get some hand towels and water bottles for himself and Tiny. "Here drink up and take a short break we have been working for at least..." Lucky looked at the time and frowned. "Two-ish hours?! Well shit. It's almost been two hours..."

He pulled up a stool and plopped down on it as he dabbed his sweat away with his hand towel. Lucky then proceeded to remove his shirt and dump the very cool water from the bottle onto himself. "Feels good man."
