There was a small alleyway between two abandoned buildings deep in the downtown area, normally shrouded by the heavy traffic and plethora of passersby that regularly plagued the streets. It was one of those hole-in-the-wall type places, something you wouldn't find unless you were looking for it. To most people, it was just another alleyway, but to WR, it was an escape, a place to share artistic expression, even if they were the only one to ever see it.
WR sat atop a crate on the side of one of the buildings, cigarette between their fingers (which was a VERY rare sight), and a large duffel bag slumped over the side of the wall. It was filled with numerous cans of spray paint, respirators, snacks, sodas, and a radio with a small patch of CDs on the side.
This was something they hadn't done in a LONG time, and even if they weren't going to spend countless hours perfecting a masterpiece, it still felt nice to return to their teenage livelihood. In a way, it was one of the things still connecting them to home.
Staring off at the clouds above, WR sat in thought, pondering what kind of art they'd hash out today.

WR would hear a dumpster make noise near by. And suddenly standing lucky would be holding a big chunky monitor obviously gutted to bits already but that didn’t stop the joyful noise escaping her lips.

A brow was raised at the sudden noises coming from further down the alley. Was someone... dumpster diving?
WR slid over to the edge of the box they were sitting on and peered down the way, eyes narrowing at the woman that had rudely intruded on their relaxation.
"What the hell are you doing?"

“Dumpster diving!” Lucky was proud to admit.

"Why not just steal from the stores? You got no class."
They shook their head in disappointment, but they were smiling underneath.

“Because apparently of the store has an owner that’s a little more occupied. Still I’ve pretty much raided the places near the Arc so...” she started throwing things like wires and broken parts into the head of the monitor like it was a shopping basket.

Their eyebrow cocked even more.
"The hell you doing with all that junk anyway?"

“Oh most of it is scrap parts but I’m thinking about making something I’ve not decided what project but maybe I’ll build me some bionic arms, maybe a small robot, or a little remote control Vehicle of sorts.” She explained.

WR hopped off the box, shoved their hands in their pockets, and started toward her, a brow still raised. They were confused... but they were intrigued.
"So you're like, an inventor or somethin'?"

“Oh... that’s a fancy word for it, but people have already invented all of those things already I suppose I’m more of a tinker or a mechanic, which is a little less glamorous.” As WR could see she was certainly not going for glamour as she reached her leg over the edge of the dumpster and eased herself down, today’s haul tight in her arms. She wore a dingy jump suit with rubber boots and a messy ponytail with those little hairs running loose and sporadic around the frame of her face. She stank to the high heavens.

WR grimaced and took a step back. What the fuck was that smell? Clearly this woman gave no fucks about her sanitation.
They stared in disbelief for a moment before shaking their head.
"You're strange as fuck but I dig your vibe."

Lucky looked at WR and smiled. “That might be the nicest thing someone has said to me. Met a person the other day that was kinda fridges but she treated me to some food. I can’t complain about it. They call me Lucky by the way.”

WR raised a brow again.
"WR," They scanned her again, further grimacing at the smell and taking a step back.
"You homeless?" They asked with a certain bluntness that suggested they held that particular question at a certain closeness to their heart.

“Oh no... I live in the apartments with the other metas. I just been in and out of dumpsters through out the week... actually when was my last shower?” She started to look at herself. “Hm... what is today?”

The apartments huh? Lucky wasn't a character that was easy to miss, so WR wasn't so sure... but she didn't have a reason to lie about it, so they just shrugged it off.
Then she questioned the last time she showered, aaaand WR took two more steps back.
"You should... probably get that taken care of, yeah?" They smiled weakly, trying to not breathe in too much of the stench.
