Food
Omega's never seen so much variety of food, much less by way of color and shape. While the food goo dispensed from the ships is tasty, it's still goo, and the diner offerings are limited to what's available, although still a lot better than rations. With Lula tucked in the crook of her arm, the girl goes roaming around by the huts. She's definitely a fan of sweets, and the fact that things have that faint taste of peanut butter doesn't seem to bother her in the least.


Crafty
Making things looks like a lot of fun. Mixing "potions" reminds her of being in Cid's bar, although she's fascinated by the ability to add liquids for a customized drinks. By the look on her face there are definitely some misses in her experimentation, but she seems to rapidly be getting the hang of it. Maybe she'll mix something good for you!

At some other time one might find Omega parked at a costume table with some pieces of cloth, particularly black and red. Her Clone Trooper doll is set there in front of her to watch as she tries to figure out the best way to go about making a kama for it. Painting had been much easier compared to this!


P.E.
No one who knows her should be surprised at all to see the girl at the climbing wall. Even without a spotter, she's clambering up, and all in all her form isn't bad. She's climbed things before and it shows as she's made it up quite a ways. Her brothers do it all the time and Echo even with one hand makes it look so easy! Just...don't have a heart attack when you see her foot slip.

The treasure pit is a safer venture by far, and Omega doesn't seem to mind getting her hands in the sand. It's such a different feeling from dirt, and a prettier color! Her face lights up with genuine glee whenever she does come upon something other than sand, holding up whatever shiny piece of rock she's found as though she's actually found some long forgotten treasure.

You can see her eyeing that swing and barrel. If she catches your eye she might just drag you along to try them with her.


Attack!!
While the archery range is a little familiar in terms of presentation, the equipment itself is quite analogue compared to anything she's used to. She can see the similarities in the bow and how it's used, but it takes her a few tries to properly nock the arrow and fire it without it slipping or swinging away from the rest. Her first successful shots fall well short of the target, but by the look on her face she seems determined to get this right.

Bruno nods. "Yeah, of course he'd want to see everything. Very relatable approach." And he nods once more. Because that's exactly what Bruno had done at first. Though in his case it had been more carefully sneaking around.

Seeing Omega as excited about the food as he feels about it has Bruno chuckle in delight. "Great idea! We can pick up a snack while we look for him." He suggests while turning to head towards the nearest booths, motioning for Omega to come along as he starts sharing some of his excitement regarding the little market. "I enjoy making candles over there. And candles are useful. The free food is a great bonus to this place!"

[small_compromise]

Food sounds pretty good at the moment, so Omega's not going to say no there. She follows along after Bruno takes the lead, looking around as he gives something of an unofficial tour. He seems to know something about the other activities they have around here, which is more than she does.

"What are candles? Can you show me how to make one? There's so much to see around here, it's hard trying to decide what to do."

[owneroftheworstroom]

"What are candles?!" Bruno repeats the question and stops short, looking at Omega, eyes wide. "You never used a candle? Y'know, CANDLE! Like... Wax and fire and light and 'don't touch the flame, Bruno!'"

He remains still for another moment, then takes a sharp and very determined turn towards the candle crafting booth. "We gotta fix that, Omega! I will show you and you will make the greatest candle that has ever burned!"

[small_compromise]

At least this time she's not up on a wall when he makes her jump. "No? I wouldn't be asking otherwise," Omega points out. She arches a brow at the suggestion that Bruno had been playing with fire all too literally at some point.

With the detour suddenly taken, the girl follows after as though swept in the man's wake. Not that she minds a detour, she's curious about this, and Bruno seems very enthusiastic about candles. "I'll do my best!" she says, grinning then.

[owneroftheworstroom]

Of course Bruno has played with fire as a child. It's what children do. At some point they all try to touch a temptingly warm and bright flame.

They reach the tent that houses the candle crafting area and Bruno picks up one of the candles sitting on the table before turning to Omega with it. "Here. This is a candle and you light this little wick up here with a match." He explains, tapping the unlit wick with a single finger before pointing at the crafting area. "And this is where you can make some for yourself. See these pots over there? That's hot wax. You can make candles by just dipping a wick in over and over again OR you use one of the moulds over there. I personally prefer the moulds."

[small_compromise]

Omega takes the offered candle to study as Bruno goes over the finer aspects of it. Her fingers rove over the wick and then the smooth, slightly tactile surface of the waxy candle itself, fascination clear on her face. With Bruno directing her attention over towards where the tools are to make such an interesting object, she looks and makes note of the tools.

She sets the candle down so she can go look at the hot wax, poking a finger at a bit of slightly soft wax along the edge of the pot. "Can you show me both ways?" she asks. He's the candle master, after all!

Beware of handwaving since I have never made a candle in my life.

[owneroftheworstroom]

"I will happily show you!" Bruno announces and picks up one of the moulds along with a wick and proceeds to walk Omega through the steps of candle crafting. And while that candle is set to dry, he starts with her on the somewhat slower and therefore more time consuming way that has them sit around the large pots of liquid wax.

"How come you have never used candles before?" Bruno asks conversationally while they wait for the most recent layer of wax to dry.

totally fine XD

[small_compromise]

Even if the latter way is a bit time consuming, it's kind of fun to watch the layers build up. Omega resists the urge to touch the drippy wax as they wait.

"Most of the buildings and ships have built in lighting. And we have torches," she says. "I actually have a small one, here-" She opens one of her belt pouches, pulling out a small metal cylinder. Pointing it towards the floor, she clicks it on. "You turn it off and on by this switch here."

[owneroftheworstroom]

Bruno blinks and lets Omega demonstrate her portable little light, looking fascinated by the circle of light it produces on the ground and then at the source of said light.

"Oh, that- That's actually really handy! And cute. And you can point it down without dripping wax everywhere!" He demonstrate his point by dipping a spoon into one of the wax tubs and lifting it back out, letting the liquid wax drop back down.

"But how does it work? Is it- Like those strange lights they have at the hotel? Or the kitchen?" By which he is referring to the diner with. Which so far remains the only kitchen in this town he has seen.

[small_compromise]

"More or less," Omega says, smiling as she holds the torch out to him so he can try it for himself. The point about the wax does make sense as she thinks about it. If candles are lit then they'll melt again, won't they? Interesting!

"This has an internal power source. The buildings have connections to a power source built in. I think those connections run to the power station that shows up on the map."

[owneroftheworstroom]

Being handed the torch feels a little like being given a treasure and Bruno takes it with delighted curiosity, turning the small device around a few times before carefully pressing the button to turn it on, observing the result in awe. And, naturally, his next act is to turn the light right at his own face before bushing the button again, effectively blinding himself with a little shriek while Omega explains the origin of the light's power.

"You speak about the fire within the walls? That electricity, right?" Bruno assumes, rubbing the dots from his eyes with one hand while handing the torch back. "I was told about that. It's weird! Back home we use candles for light and fire to cook, but here? Everything is so different! And then there is this thing as well-" He pulls out his phone very much like a person that has never owned a phone before. "Apparently I can use it to talk to others?"

[small_compromise]

Omega's smile brightens as she watches Bruno test out the light. His wonder's not terribly different from hers when she'd first set foot on a planet other than Kamino, one with dirt and plants and bugs. She laughs a little as he accidentally blinds himself, leaning in to make sure he's all right.

"Electricity- yes," she says. Arching a brow, she looks as he pulls out the communication device, nodding then. "Oh! Yes- it's very useful. I had one that I could wear on my wrist, but it didn't come with me." She looks a bit sad at that, but she wonders if she would have been able to contact her brothers from all the way...wherever this is. "It has different things you can pull up from the icons it shows." She taps at the screen to wake it up, pointing out the various options.

"This will let you talk to everyone on the network, which should be everyone in the city. And if you just want to talk to certain people, you can send a message directly to them by looking at the contacts if you tap here."

[owneroftheworstroom]

Bruno follows the explanations given with clear interest, following the steps on his own phone as best as he can. "Not gonna lie here, kid, but I don't understand why I can't just go to someone if I want to talk to them." He muses while his eyes roam the list of names. Only a few of them are familiar to him. Not only has he difficulties imagining how that would even work, but he also feels that he may not quite like this way of talking to another person.

"And you say you had sch things before coming here?" That? Feels weird. Though also Bruno is trying very hard to recall some of his more confusing visions. The ones he learned to rather not bring up with his family.

[small_compromise]

"Well, sometimes you're too far to talk to someone. And if there's an emergency, then you can't go and talk directly, so it's handy to have if you need to contact someone quickly," Omega explains. "That's why my brothers gave me a comm unit, in case I ever got separated from them and there was trouble."

She looks a little sad at that reminder. Even if it might not have connected her to her brothers, it would have been nice to still have something to remind her of them. She supposes having Lula and her clone trooper doll now are something, at least.

[owneroftheworstroom]

Well, Omega has a point. Especially regarding potential emergencies. So Bruno nods in return, but he also notices the sad look on the girl's face and puts the strange device on the table next to him. "You miss them, don't you? Your brothers." Save for the one that apparently is around this market as well.

"I- Have two sisters, y'know? Not here, of course. So- Well. I know what that's like. I'd rather be back with my family. Even though- heh... Yeah." Even though he hasn't spoken to any of them in literal years. "One of my nieces is roughly your age, you know?"

[small_compromise]

Omega nods. "I haven't been with them too long. We were...separated for a long time, and a lot of things changed at home, but I was finally able to be with them again."

She lifts her head, smiling a little at Bruno as he talks about his sisters. "You miss them too." It's not a question, and the man makes it fairly obvious his fondness of his family.

[owneroftheworstroom]

"W-well, of course I miss them." Bruno admits with a chuckle and a hand scratching the back of his head. "That's just normal. For either of us. When you love your family, you miss them. And you will be happy when you see them again. Which you will." He assures with a smile and reaches over to one of the moulds and carefully opening it to free the colorful, star-shaped candle inside and setting it down in front of Omega. "And then you can teach them everything about candles."

[small_compromise]

Her eyes light up as she sees the finished product of their efforts, her smile broadening as she picks the fresh candle up in her hands, as careful as a treasure. But then maybe it is. She treasures all these little things she's given, be it actual gifts or something learned.

"Only because I had a good teacher," Omega says, beaming at Bruno.

Looks like a good place to wrap?

[owneroftheworstroom]

Bruno chuckles in response and gives Omega a cheerful thumbs up. "An excellent student deserves a good teacher. Now let's finish up here and grab something to eat. I'm starving!"
