#gentle giant [hornman]

Horns human leaning name being Ferdinand kills me.

[renegaderobotics]

"Sweetheaaaart~" Proton sings to Horn, knowing it'll embarrass him. Horns antenna fall back and he gives his pink brother an audible snort. He's already stressed enough already!

"Good. Neutron knows his stuff and you should be feeling a lot better now." He comes right up to Gale and starts putting her wings back on, one by one. They've had enough excitement for one night. Neutron makes his way to his twin so they can leave the room. Horn has this from here and Neutron can update Proton on what he found out. All of this will be kept between them until Ginkgo asks. If he catches on, they have to tell him. If. If he asks. Proton and Neutron close the door behind them to leave the two alone. The last wing is reattached.

"Are you still nervous about our home?" Horn asks meekly.

Gale giggled again at Neutron. She found him to be very funny and comforting, if not a little stern and tense at times. At the end of this private exchange with him, however, she'd grown rather fond of the blue twin.

She watched the door as he counted down, and found it humorous how accurate his timing was for Horn coming back into the room. Gale had to stifle a laugh when he nearly clotheslined himself with her wings, and smiled as he came clopping over to her. Her expression and body language immediately relaxed as she talked with him.

"I'm alright, sweetheart. Neutron took good care of me; I felt very safe and comfortable." She reached up and gently held his face with both her hands.

"I appreciate that you took my request so sincerely, though. It means a lot to me. And thank you for taking such good care of my wings, as well."

Pokemon ask for Hornman and Rachael?

@renegaderobotics @splinter-sister

((I was initially thinking Rhydon on gut reaction for Horn but then I realized that might be too obvious, so after some digging I decided with Tyrantrum!))

((I think it's overall look compliments Horn well, and although it looks sharp-edged and intimidating, it can be a gentle giant, at least to me :) ))

((As for Rachael, I may not know her too well, but she looks like she would like Mightyena!))

[renegaderobotics]

Looks down at chest.

"It's just chest plating."

[renegaderobotics]

" and? doesn't stop you from needing proper support. even miss silk agrees! "

Looks back down at his chest.

"I donno! I think everything is held up pretty well under here!" Knocks on his chest. It doesn't sound hollow at all. It sounds jam packed under there.

[renegaderobotics]

"You're an alien?!" He bursts with excitement.

"Isn't it cold out there? You must have seen so many different worlds! Which was your favorite?" Horn is genuinely curious about the places this little robot has seen and how he survived the vacuum of space. The twins have gushed to him about the properties of space and the anomalies out there in the great beyond. Oh, they would love this!

"If you mean Earth itself then...not really," a small, awkward chuckle comes from Proxima.

"I...am from...space, if that makes sense? From...another planet, if you will."

[renegaderobotics]

And just as she had learned the secret of mistletoe, who should Nightingale happen upon but Hornman wearing the very same plant! Her face lit up, and quickly made her way over to him. "Ah! I see you are wearing the mistletoe miss Silk told me about. Are you looking to sneak holiday kisses then, Hornman?" (@masters-menagerie )

Silk! She wouldn't know what it meant if it wasn't for you! What luck, huh?

If Proton were here, he'd be smirking with that smile that says, "Well, go on!" Having left rather confident that having a plant tied to his helmet wouldn't be awkward changed to a more regretful flavor fast. Gale was nice, though! They just met, but she's very sweet to him.

"Hah... Uh, not really out hunting for them. Just getting festive!" A little shade of red boarders his cheeks just under the dark shadow of his helmet.

"I'm not-you know. Not.." Who's he kidding. It looks just like that. He sighs, realizing the trap he's walked himself into.

"Do you want to follow the tradition?" That red is spreading.

[renegaderobotics]

Cont from here @masters-menagerie

He catches hold of her, feeling bashful again at her being so close. All of her weight pulls down on his shoulders and chest. Oh geez, she's all over him!

"Five? I only had one and thought that was gross. Arrrre you feeling okay? You look like you're burning up."

[renegaderobotics]

A tray of awkwardly gifted muffins to Ginkgo given by Scavenge.

How does he tell him he can't eat, let alone taste? But it's so thoughtful. They're all the same size and lightly browned on the top. Is that Turbinado sugar baked onto the tops of them? He has to eat them. Or try one at the least try one??

"These looks lovely, Scavenge. I-uh-I'll have to give them a try when I can take my mouth cover off. Thank you."

[renegaderobotics]

Frankly? He was expecting the kiss, not the extra fixings. Was he mentally prepared? Hell NO! If it was just a smooch he thinks he would have been able to handle that. The skid, to the lipstick, to placing it right on his lips like a stamp to Santa, though. Ma'am! Steam lifts off him in the colder air with Silk hanging off his shoulders. He doesn't know where to put his hands so they are left hovering, slightly curled in at the knuckles into claws. He's frozen in place till she's done and once she is there's a nice transfer of red lipstick on his mouth from hers. Once freed from her snare he get's all bashful and puts a hand to his face.

"TH-Thank you miss Silk!" He was smiling though, happy to have received a gift as nice as that.

((From Here X))

Surprisingly Silk didn't come in as hot as Horn seemed to be expecting. Instead she skid to a halt in front of him with a hand raised towards him.

"Hold on big guy. I have to make this special~"

She giggled as she pulled some bright red lipstick from her clutch which she held up to his armor.

"Perfect match."

She took a moment to slowly apply it in front of him. Making sure to draw out the moment before the spider like limbs on her back gently hooked over his shoulders so she could pull herself up face to face.

"Since you're so boldly wearing that mistletoe I really should give you your Christmas present~"

Gently her hands cupped his cheeks before she leaned in fast, pressing her lips tightly against his.

The blades of the windmills spun at a moderate rate, as the air that cut through them breezed calmly. The dried vegetation at the base of the turbines swayed, as it was a peaceful day.

Nearby, a lone robot of peculiar design and origin stood atop a hill, overlooking the windmills, their expression thoughtful. Usually, they'd find better company at more densely populated areas but...there was something calm, being alone, and basking in the comfortable silence.

@littlest-centaurii

The hills were alive and green and rather steep. They had plateaus between the incline where Desired Path's were made leading to the windmills firmly planted up on the hills. A few light clouds floated through the sky, matching the same white as the mills. The edge of the woods lays across the hills like a quilted blanket laid on top.

Within the shadow of the trees is Horn. He was making his way up from within the trees and stopped when he saw someone here. They looked different from most other robot masters he's seen. They're super small too! What're they doing? He stays in the shade to watch for a bit.

[renegaderobotics]

29. How do they respond when someone doesn’t believe them?

for Horn, Gingko, and Seal!

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

Horn: Will try and convince them, stumbling all the while as he tries to think up different reasons.

Ginkgo: Would shrug and say "Suit yourself." Unless it's dire and then he'll prove it to you.

Seal: Same as Horn, but less mentally constructed.

[renegaderobotics]

26 - Horn 10 - Seal 19 - Ginkgo 2 - Proton 46 - Neutron

:) @remedy-robotics-rp

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

26. How would they respond to being fired by a good boss? You better bet Horn'll cry. He's a sensitive soul and can't handle those big emotions.

10. What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity? That he actually has legs! He didn't know for so long after he came online and once he got them he was so excited.

19. What would they do if stuck in a room with the person they’ve been avoiding? Go completely quiet. Ginkgo pretends everything is fine when really he's trying to keep it together in his head.

2. How loosely or strictly do they use the word ‘friend’? Proton uses it looser when he's being sarcastic or trying to talk his way out of a situation. As for calling someone his actual friend, he probably doesn't do it often since he doesn't have many.

46. Are they a listener or a talker? If they’re a listener, what makes them talk? If they’re a talker, what makes them listen? Neutron will talk your ear off and continue on after putting it in a jar full of formaldehyde. The best way to get him to shut up is to get him into a debate setting where he needs to listen to what you have to say.

[renegaderobotics]

I WEEP INTO YOUR CHALICE I LOVE IT! It was so fun doing my half along with seeing your take on my big boy. Thank you so much!

On that note I'll be uploading my half later tonight once I'm on my laptop!

@bishopinblue ‘s character Horn Man for a trade!! he was such a delight to draw!

[renegaderobotics]

46. Are they a listener or a talker? If they’re a listener, what makes them talk? If they’re a talker, what makes them listen?

- For Ginkgo and Horn!

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

Ginkgo: He's a listener with, oftentimes, very little to say of his own opinion. It takes directly asking him his opinion for him to speak up. Otherwise, he'll just take in everything being said. He prefers that. Intaking the information around him.

Horn: He's a little in between both. Get him on a topic he likes and he'll go on and on, but bring up something he isn't sure about and he'll be more inclined to listen first. He does often give his opinion on half baked information, though. Yet, he's not afraid to change his ideas on something.

[renegaderobotics]

"Hi, Horn!" It's Moon! She falters slightly upon properly seeing what's attached to his head, though, red slowly rising to her cheeks as she stopped and stared.

"Y-you... you have -- um." Meekly, she twirled her finger around in front of her own forehead, gesturing to where the mistletoe would be hanging in front of Horn's own face. "There's... something."

@dsn-001

"GH-M-MISS MOON!?" All the times to cross paths, it had to be now. He didn't exactly anticipate running into anyone he knew and keep the mistletoe on as decoration. Damn it, Proton!

"Uh-that's just-it's something my brother put on me for the holidays!" That is the truth, though. Even then, it felt like a nasty excuse. He can feel his circuits heating up.
