The Main

I imagine something like this is what Hina looks like ↓

And also some interesting facts about the fairies of Ramshackle

-Hina and Carmen are the only fairies that can be considered permanent residents (the rest come and go, sometimes staying for a few days).

-Carmen is banned from any kitchen (she wants to help by adding more ingredients than necessary or skipping steps in recipes)

-Hina is prone to eating things that don't seem edible (even other fire fairies look at her strangely when she eats, although it doesn't bother her and she usually shares what she finds with Izzy)

-If they're not around Izzy, they're probably playing a "small" prank on some unlucky student (from stealing objects to moving them around)

-If Charles is nearby, they'll probably hide in the most comical ways possible (Carmen and Hina, being the ones who spend the most time at NRC, lost their fear and try to convince the others that there is nothing to fear.)

Hina is a very pretty fire fairy!!

1. Glad they live at Ramshackle with Izzy and Reggie, those two deserve more friends (especially Izzie).

2. I’m sure Reggie has tried to teach Carmen to bake and cook correctly, it’s just really hard to get her to listen.

3. Hina is like a flame, she consumes all without much care for what it is…which includes things she probably shouldn’t eat.

4. They’re fairies, of course they play pranks on people. I especially think they’d love messing with the higher strung members of NRC.

Bro’s probably ordering these crackers:

He and Shriek are also the only ones not perturbed by the San Fransokyo train ride that keeps bringing the group back to where they started. Because Charles finds it soothing and Shriek is like "woooooooo!! Train!! 😄"

Charles would absolutely be down to chill in San Fransokyo because look just look at this city;

Charles would love to walk the streets, eating a bagel with extra cream cheese and maybe partaking in some fried squid at the same time.

He’s a little old fashioned compared to the technological marvels of the city but that’s his aesthetic, not a limitation of his.

The Bead Brawl tournaments is one of Sunrise City's most anticipated events, so naturally it's broadcast on all the local channels and even available for streaming.

We'll get to see glimpses of who's watching near the end of the tournament.

Idia, one of them is definitely going to be Idia, I just know for a fact that’s the case the moment you said streaming.

(He’s watching this shit on 7 different monitors.)

*In the Heartslabyul Dorm, Charles looks at the rambunctious Shriek, as she scuttles around on the ceiling*

Charlie: (Internally) Well…this is strange. I don’t think we’ve been alone before.

*As he looks at her, he finds her suddenly stopping on the ceiling and staring back. They blink at each other for a rather long time until Shriek speaks up*

Shriek: (Curious) Hey where’s Deino?

Charlie: He had social studies.

Shriek: (Dejected) Aww…I wanted to talk about Blackbeard with him.

Charlie: (Curious) Why?

Shriek: (Excited) Cause he used to light himself on fire to intimidate opponents!! He was one of the most dangerous pirates on the high seas.

Charlie: (Slightly Concerned) Didn’t he kill like…12 naval soldiers as he was dying?

Shriek: (Excited) Yeah!!

Charlie: …So, wanna do a puzzle?

Shriek: *Blowing a raspberry at him* (Disgusted) Yech!!! No!!

Charlie: How about a movie?

Shriek: (Excited) Tyraxadon!?

Charlie: (Awkwardly) Um…I haven’t connected my streaming accounts yet, so no Tyraxadon.

Shriek: (Annoyed) Then no movie.

*Charlie and Shriek once again stare at each other, with neither one blinking. It’s isn’t until Shriek becomes noticeably annoyed does Charlie find one more idea*

Charlie: (Nervously) H-Hey!! I got an idea. You like Tyraxadon, yes?

Shriek: (Curious) Yes?

Charlie: So you must know Mecha Tyraxadon, yes?

Shriek: (Even More Curious) Yes?

Charlie: Well he’s fictional but robots like him are very much real, let’s talk machines.

Shriek: (Bummed Out) But Machines are boring!! if they’re not bashing monster brains in, they’re useless.

Charlie: (Offended) First of all, not true. Secondly, a machine doesn’t have to be shaped like a giant monster to kill brutally.

Shriek: (Curious) Really? How so?

Charlie: (Internally) Hang on a tick…this is a chance to get an in with her. I must take this chance, I don’t think there’ll be another…

Charlie: Well you see, if you look at it logically, what’s harder? Iron or Skin?

Shriek: Um…Iron?

Charlie: (Proudly) Very good, Shriek. Now tell me, what is the purpose of a machine?

Shriek: …To do what it was made to do?

Charlie: Correct. And is a machine alive?

Shriek: …Is there a ghost inside?

Charlie: That depends on if you count a ghost possessing something nonliving as it being alive, but for the sake of simplicity, let’s just say no.

Shriek: But how does this all tie into all machines being dangerous? Only machines made to be weapons can be dangerous.

Charlie: That’s true but that’s because of another point I brought up, a machine’s only purpose is to fulfill its job. You expect a weapon to be dangerous because that’s it job, and machines don’t stop their jobs ever.

Shriek: (Not Getting It) …What?

Charlie: *Soft Sigh* (Quietly) Let me put it simpler…(Calmly) The moving parts of a machine are not alive and cannot react to anything in their way because of the track they’re set on. Anything in the way of those moving parts is either going to be shredded or crushed, probably both.

Shriek: (Excited) Even people!?

Charlie: (A Little Disturbed/Excited) Especially people, in fact, there’s an entire book of rules for being safe around machinery BECAUSE people kept getting mangled inside of them or because of them.

Shriek: (Excited) Does it have pictures!?

Charlie: Most don’t…but there are illustrations with little stick men. Go nuts with your imagination.

*Charles hands Shriek a book on Machine safety and opens it to a page where an illustrated hand is caught between two gears. Shriek, liking what she’s looking at, drops down from the ceiling onto Charlie’s bed to read quietly*

Charlie: (Quietly/Excitedly) First solo impressions…nailed!!
