| Bruno was wandering around the Strip, a rare occasion, him being outside of his house and into the outside world instead of him usually inside and making whatever. His parents told him to go explore the place he called his hometown, so he took some money and set off into the unfamiliar place he had lived for a while. After making a few turns in a few random directions, he ended up in the strip. Not really knowing what to do, but with a bright smile on his face, the giant wandered down the street looking everywhere but where he was going.
His attention was snagged over when a man yelled out for him to come over. Not knowing the danger of strangers, Bruno happily went over to see what the man wanted. "hey kiddo, want to buy something special? it's one of a kind, very special." the man said, opening a briefcase which had an assortment of wooden toys that seemed to be handmade. After a few moments of the man talking more about how special the toys were, Bruno nodded his head and bought a handful of toys, then wandered away. Unfortunately for him, Bruno's purchase of the toys attracted similar people selling random junk, and they began to hustle over to him. One by one they came over, each one successful in convincing Bruno to buy a bit of what they sold. By the time the last merchant sold what they had, Bruno's wallet was considerably lighter, and his arms were filled with bags of neat, but utterly useless objects. Not that he minded, The giant even waved goodbye in a friendly manner, though to the smarter, more alert people around him, bruno must have looked pretty foolish. |

| After a good nap and some time thinking and figuring out what he had to do for that day, Liam finally got out of his home and headed down the Tokyo Strip trying to take his head out of the constant thinking about what would happen tonight. He couldn't help but ruffle through his hair as he walked between the people until something caught his attention. Was that giant literally being swarmed by vendors? This was not abnormal, mind you. After all, anyone who sold something around there was vicious. But why at this time of day? That was strange. And on top of that, he looked really cute and child-like while doing all of that? Uh... Something was wrong around here. Liam decided to approach him, just to feed his curiosity about that matter. ~ Uh... You shouldn't believe all that this vendors tell you, y'know? ~ For the better or the worse, he was not usually wandering around there and a commentary like this one could help him get everything together and not be swayed so easily whenever an offer came by. | |

| Being surrounded by vendors might have been a struggle to Bruno somehow, but to Brittany it was...delightful. A strong consumerist behavior tingled her senses everytime the girl faced an opportunity to waste her money on something, preferably, you know, the typical stuff: outfits. And purses. And shoes. Oh, sometimes games as well, since lately she had been quite involved with said form of entertainment, and it had a special meaning to her. As a result, she could be seen walking with a lot of bags in both hands. And some square packages on her hands. It was no surprise she wouldn't be able to spot the path ahead, which also meant that stumbling on people was a natural consequence due to the clumsy lack of sight. People like, you know, a tall redhead and the giant freshman from her Academy...
In a second, everything she was handling went to the ground, just like herself. "Ouch..." She moaned in pain, rubbing her behind with a displeased frown. | |

| Bruno turned around when he heard a voice to see a boy a that looked a bit older then him. He smiled in a friendly manner at the stranger, but a mixture of a jolly cheerfulness and that childlike confusion began to form on his face as he listened. Adjusting the bags in his arms, he continued to try and think of a reason why people couldn't be trusted while an unfamiliar feeling began to stir inside of his being. "Wh-What..? why can't we believe the vendors...?" he asked before continuing to think about why one shouldn't believe what vendors told him, but in the middle of his train of thought, it went off rail when something bumped into him and a cluttering sound followed soon after.
Turning to see what exactly had bumped into him, he was surprised to find a girl lying on the ground with a frown. Even though Bruno wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, he did realize that the girl had fallen when coming into contact with him and the red headed stranger. Immediately crouching and putting his own bags down and started to gather up the bags that had fallen, smiling worriedly. "Oh gosh miss, I'm sorry m-miss, i sh-should have been w-watching a-around me" he stammered, his smile shrinking ever so slightly. "Please don't be mad..." he said softly, almost a whisper as he smiled apologetically. |

| Wait... This man had something different on him. In fact, was he even a man already? His voice and mannerisms made him so different from an actual grown guy. Putting out the pieces together with his voice and his look to him, Liam discovered the tallest kid in existence. No wonder that he was bombarded by vendors and was still all happy about it. ~ Uh... They will pus- ~ he couldn't even finish his sentence as something collided with both. To his surprise, after the mountain of shopping bags was gathered by the other one, who seemed really sorry for all of that even if it wasn't anyone's fault what just happened, a familiar pink haired girl was on the ground. ~ Oh, you! ~ The red-haired rushed past the boy to help Brittany get on her feet, seeing if she wasn't hurt and if everything was okay. ~ Didn't think I would bump into ya until later tonight. ~ He smiled as soon as she was back into balance and fine, and turned to the boy. ~ Don't worry, boy. It was just an accident, right? ~ | |

| Once she was back to her senses, Brittany's vision began to identify the surroundings. Her boxes were all thrown to the ground and scattered like glass shards. Alright, she could pick them all up later. Or not, one of the boys was already in charge of helping her with the task. As for the second one...it was no less than Liam, the guy she meant to talk the whole morning with Frogerio. Quite a surprise, and it was very clear by her expression she was both shocked and happy to spot his face. "You?? Oh my Gosh, I talked about you earlier with Froggy! We so need to talk and--" She was a bit anxious about this meeting, however the conditions were...not so pleasant. And embarrassing...that is, if Brittany was indeed the type to be embarrassed over the most trivial happenings, such as colliding with people on the streets. On the other hand, it was not rare for the other part to become embarrassed and awkward on her behalf. It happened to Gabriel, it happened to Frogerio, and now it's happening to Bruno. "Nooo! Don't apologize! I should be the one watching my steps! But, like, that's so totally hard to do when you're carrying a bunch of boxes. I mean, the bags are fine, I can carry them without problem, but so many boxes... I should have chosen the delivery option. But then they'd take ages and you know, I really want to try the new clothes I bought" She chuckled a bit, glancing at the guy a loooong while until something started making sense in her mind. He did seem familiar, and she knew exactly where she has spotted this guy before. "I know you! Don't you, like, attend Seven Stars? You do, right? I know it, you're like the tallest kid there!" | |

| Looking at the other two strangers speak, and they seemed to know each other on a friendly level, Bruno smiled at the happy scene, then managed to get most of the bags before the red haired stranger spoke, saying it wasn't his fault, in which Bruno nodded his head apologetically, his pompadour haircut slightly bobbing up and down with him."R-Right, sorry!" he apologized again, then looked at the girl talking quickly about he wasn't at fault too, and that just made him smile more, and feel a little more embarrassed. "Yes Miss!" he started before continuing to listen to the girl explain what had happened.
Bruno smiled and nodded his head, but felt a little confused when the girl said that he'd know. Shrugging it off (mentally of course), and nodding, he could kind of relate to what she was saying. "Yeah! S-Sort of...Like wh-when you get l-like a special kind o-of metal you really want to melt down a-and tamper with i-it to make something r-really cool?" he asked excitedly, his stammering seeming to become scarce, and he was looking eye to eye rather then staring right down at the ground. Standing back up, he was holding out well with carrying all of the bags and boxes, having bigger arms and all, and was surprised to see that someone had noticed him in school. Smiling, he was a little speechless to see that someone knew him. "O-Oh, yes! I d-do attend Seven S-stars! It's m-my first year! he stammered on, grinning from ear to ear. |

| He smiled brilliantly to the lady in front of him before speaking anything. ~ Yeah! I did speak with Frog earlier but... ~ He stopped himself to let both of them talk for a brief while, as a round of excuses and reactions was going on between them. It was pretty clear that Frog got his valley accent from talking a lot with the girl earlier as she said, but what really caught Liam's attention was the mannerisms and was of speech of the... younger?... male. Aside from an out of place connection to metal he was absolutely adorable. ~ So you like sculpting metal, huh... ~ He even stuttered! it was difficult for the red haired not to giggle at all the scene before hearing a little more of the conversation. ~ Huh? Does he go to our school? I mean... I'm new there but... Do you really? I've never seen you there! ~ He changed from one to another in the middle of the sentence, looking a little dumb folded about the fact he lost someone so obvious from sight, eve in the opening ceremony. He did know that Brittany attended the same school but he didn't even noticed the guy wandering around there. How impolite of him to not know the existence of one of the only ones who would gather more attention by his physical buil than him. He extended his hand over to the boy, giving an apologetic smile before continuing. ~ Sorry for that, I'm an air head sometimes. I'm Liam, nice to meet you! ~ | |

| "Yes!! Exactly like that, when you get a met--wait, what??" If she was excited at first, the moment after she pondered what she has just heard from this new guy and...frowned in a clear display of confusion. Not that it minded so much; in the end, Brittany shook her head rapidly before talking again, this time to a more relevant matter. "Uh, nevermind that. Yes, he attends our school, Liam. I heard some girls talking about him today at the gym" She winked to Bruno, perhaps a bit mischievously, though it was just her playful nature coming in stage, and not some hidden implication of anything preposterous. She wouldn't be surprised, however, if a guy like Bruno attracted the kind of attention she jokingly implied. "...but seriously, you're so big to not be noticed. Like...are you okay there, carrying all my stuff? If I tried to do that, the results would be totally disastrous. Oh wait, I tried already and you saw where it got me!" And she was 100% sure the scene would repeat itself if she tried again. At least Bruno had more proficiency with handling too many objects at once. "So, what's your name? Mine is Brittany. Brit for those who doesn't want to say it all. Trust me, I've heard my name is too time-consuming and tiring, can you, like, believe that?" | |

| Bruno nodded his head eagerly when the girl seemed to agree at first, but then tilted his head in slight confusion when she became confused herself, but then he shook his head and smiled at the redhead. "Y-Yes sir! I-I like m-metalwork a-and other stuff l-like that, l-like a-arts and c-crafts!" he said happily, making complete eye contact with the redhead and smiling before he spoke again, in which he looked back down at the ground.
He was about to apologize again, a subconscious habit he had formed over the years, but then the girl with the pink hair spoke up again, in which he tilted his head up and to the side, blushing slightly when she winked at him. He had no clue why girls would be talking about him, he hadn't really done anything to have people talk about him, perhaps they were talking about him because of his height, being so tall and all, so he didn't worry too much, he just wondered why Brittany winked playfully at him. But then Brittany smiled some more and gave her opinion that it was of Bruno's height. The big friendly giant nodded his head again when the girl asked him about the bags. "It's f-fine miss! No p-problems here!" He smiled and shifted a few boxes and bags in his arms to shake Liam's hand when he put it out, giving a nice tight vice grip and smiling happily. When Brittany introduced herself as well, Bruno didn't know why saying her name would be such a waste of time, and didn't know why someone would say that, but he brushed it aside as something stirred inside of his core, but then he took a breath and pushed it away, and smiled again. "It's n-nice to meet y-you Mister Liam and M-Miss Brittany! M-M-My name is B-Bruno! Bruno St.Peter, at y-your s-service!" he said. |

| Liam was in a disadvantage here in hair color, but both of the pink haired ones were peculiar and interesting in their own ways. Bruno, as the biggest kid he has ever met presented itself, seemed to exude innocence and happiness from him while Brittany was that oh so typical character you never think you'd see in real life. rich, pink haired, big spender with the characteristic accent to booth. He almost got too distracted with their almost polar personalities to get back into the conversation in cue. ~ Oh yeah? If you work with swords I'll be happy to see that! ~ He smiled happily while looking into the oh so shy eyes of Bruno.
~ Oh my! He is sure the popular one, isn't he? ~ He fueled the girl's speech while giggling a little, going to a more passive nature on the conversation. It was still impressive how he got all of that bags and could carry his AND Brit's without any trouble but he did feel like he wasn't helping at all around there seeing how things were progressing. ~ ...Yeah boy, you should gimme some of this, y 'know? I can help both of ya a little bit. ~ The red haired made a gesture for him to hand over some bags, as it would be the right thing to do after shaking his hand and know his name. He was incredibly formal and that made him laugh because he was the complete opposite of that. ~ Oh please. Just call me Liam! No need for formalities around here, y'know? This is basically my home anyways. ~ He wasn't lying in a sense as his home was right around the corner, but it was more to add a friendly tone to what the man just said in the end. | |

| At first she was feeling sort of guilty with letting Bruno carry all her stuff with little help. Not that he actually needed help, those arms of his that could embrace an entire family with no difficulty whatsoever. That's probably why she didn't ask for him to give her stuff back; he was handling her own stuff better than she'd be able to. Correction: they were, because apparently now Liam wanted to assist her as well. "Oh guys, you don't have to... Oh wait, you have to, I'm such a mess carrying these stuff. Sorry for making you two go through it", she said with her hands together in a way that could almost seem apologetic, if she wasn't in fact enjoying herself now as if she had found two "vassals" to cope with her task. "Now, I know I'm, like, your upperclassman...or woman...anyway, I'm your superior, but you don't have to treat me as "miss". Okay, I actually love the "miss" treatment, but I'd rather if you treat me as a friend. We're equals, right?" She smiled to him in a reassuring manner. While his shyness and social awkwardness was a rather endearing trait for someone so big, she also felt it was unnecessary. She doesn't bite, after all. Then again, she was just like him not too long ago, she could understand this trait of his personality. | |

| With the mention of swords, the friendly giant did a little bit of a half nod. "I-I mean, I know h-how to make them, b-but i haven't r-r-really made one yet." he admitted, smiling, looking somewhat embarrassed, for some irrational reason of his own. He still smiled and such, and shuffled his arms to give Liam some bags and boxes. So now that he had some extra room in his arms, Bruno lowered them slightly and took a more relaxed stance. His attention then turned over to Brittany, in what he assumed to be an apology to him and Liam for some sort of inconvenience to them, in which Bruno shook his head. "it's no pr-problem!" he said again, sounding a little stupid repeating what he had said before, but he didn't notice.
When Liam and Brittany both addressed him again, telling him he didn't need any formalities talking to either of them, in which Bruno nodded his head up and dow rapidly for a few times. "R-Right! no honorifics, Liam, a-and Brittany!" he said, still smiling, albeit still a little uncertain. "L-like th-that?" he asked before another question he was thinking about popped up inside his head. "O-Oh! D-Do you guys kn-know any g-good places w-work? I-I was thinking of getting a-a job, b-but i d-don't really go o-outside that often, s-so i-i don't know th-that many p-places around here. Th-there's a pl-place called Maid i-in heaven, a-and i-i think it's like a p-place l-like a c-craftsman store, s-so d-do you th-think that'd b-be a g-good place?" he asked the two in front of him, blissfully oblivious to what Maid in heaven actually was. |

| So the boy hasn't tinkered with swords yet? Interesting! ~ Well, you just met your first motive to try it out, how about it? ~ He smiled frankly not thinking that deep into the words he said, just focusing on the first opportunity to see a sword being made in front being too exciting to pass up. He grabbed the bags happily and shuffle them through his hands to accommodate them accordingly, seeing that the real problem was really the sheer amount of them. He took his time to adjust to the bags as the boy spoke more informally and as soon as he felt secure holding all of the bags he heard the thing about the Maid cafe. He held himself not to laugh, but felt a little mischievous about that unusual situation and decided to play a little with the boy's naivety. ~ Maid in Heaven, huh? I think you would fit there just fine... ~ A sly smile appeared in his face as he turned to Brit, winking to her. ~ What do you think about it, Brittany? ~ Maybe she understood the sign he gave and would join his little fun for a while. It was harmless after all, right? | |

| "Yes! Just like that, good boy! It wasn't hard, was it?", she smiled warmly. The first step to getting acquainted to someone, according to Brittany's rules, is to strip of all honorifics and treatments that could impose a moral distance from one to another. They were two human beings, so logically they were equals and should be treated the same. She was no authority figure to deserve to be treated as such, and in fact, she disliked authority figures pretty much. "Wait, Maid in...Heavens...?" Was Bruno into that? She looked at his skeptically, only then notice, by his speech and the constant shy act evinced with the stutter, that he likely had the wrong idea about the place's functioning. "What do I think? I think...hmm...", she said, with an equally sly smile, grasping the exact intentions of Liam's mischievousness. She walking around Bruno, as if analyzing him, finishing her steps with her two hands on one arm of his, her head sneaking from behind. "I think he should focus on studying since he's too young to waste his time on a job! Or work on something to put these arm to good use. Is that what they do at the Maid in Heavens?" | |
