M7W3D3- open to those w/ reason to be on the MLP3 set
Addison is pleased as punch that Lynn agreed to come to the set today. For one, he really does enjoy the company of his little sister. For another, he hopes Rodney and Lynn will have a chance to talk about their unique situation. Oddly enough, there are more chances for private conversations on set than one might imagine; with so many people running around, all focused on tasks, it makes it easy to fade away in plain sight.
He picks his way through the flow, one hand gently resting on Lynn's where it is threaded through his arm. A few people are casting surreptitious glances at the pair. Addison's sister seldom makes public appearances, and almost never at his work.
"Once we get to where we're filming today, it won't be this bad," he says to Lynn, "And no one will bother you. I promise."

Lynn is less than thrilled to be here. She is trying, because Addison seems to really, really like Rodney. It is a clear sign that she is trying because she hasn't broken anything yet.
"Hnn," is all she says, and she fiddles with her HPad.

Rodney spies the two, but that makes sense - he had been looking for them, and had taken a break specifically to go find them. He waves and shouts, "Addison! Lynn!" then he walks quickly, not quite a job, but a bit of a bounce in his step, as he closes the distance between them.
"Great to see you guys!" he grins and, unless prevented, he greets Addison with a quick hug. Then he looks down at Lynn. "Lynn! So glad you could make it! Want the grand tour? Or, well, the grandest tour I can give you on my break."

Addison allows the hug, giving Rodney a squeeze in return, but that's all. It's a sham relationship, and there are still a lot of boundaries that Addison works very hard not to cross. At the end of the day, Rodney is more important to him as a friend than as a potential lover. Addison hopes that this lie they have created for themselves does not backfire upon them.
Addison laughs, "I do appreciate your doing this for Lynn, Rodney." He tries to pat Lynn's hand where it rests on his arm and smiles down at his sister, "I'm due in makeup shortly, but if you would like me to stay with you until then, I can."

The HPad says, "This is for you," and she offers Rodney a pair of feathers, one gold and one red. They are not the feathers of any living bird on Earth, but Lynn is not concerned. Rodney is not an ornithologist.
"You may offer the the tour as you see fit, Mr. Pryor. I should like to have your company, Addison."
Lynn does look around curiously, though it is a vague curiosity.

"Hey, no problem!" Rodney tells Addison with a bright smile. "Looking forward to spending time with her!"
He accepts the feathers from her, eyes slightly round with surprise, and he looks at them closely before grinning. "They're great! Fond of feathers, are you?" he asks as he tries to find a way to get her pro-offered feathers to stick in his hair. Of course, if he succeeds in what he's trying to do with Lynn, she likely won't be nearly as nice towards him, but that's his own fault.
"Well, anyway, over this way is where we keep most of our parts, that is the reusable ones," he waves the two in the direction he mentioned.
OOC: Permission to kind of gloss over the details of the tour?

As Rodney sticks the feathers in his hair, Addison doesn't even try to hide his obvious amusement. He leans over and tries to give Rodney a quick peck on the cheek.
"That look is so you, Rodney."
For the most part during the tour, Addison will be silent, letting Rodney show off both their jobs for Lynn. Addison is still slightly nervous about what's to come. He knows that Lynn needs to remember who she is, but he worries about what will happen when she does.
OOC: I say gloss away!

Is she fond of feathers? Lynn cannot say she would put it quite that way. They just feel... right, and now she knows why. Lynn is not going to discuss that with Mr. Pryor, though, so she lies, "Yes."
Some of the armatures are kind of neat, she supposes.
OOC: Gloss!

Rodney is pecked on the cheek! He grins at Addison's playful compliment and agrees, "Oh, I think so, too." And oh, look, he's managed to get them to stay in, more or less.
Rodney's job largely involves blowing things up, crashing things into other things in spectacular ways, causing things to fall down, and things of that nature. However, it isn't too long before he forces himself to ask, "Not that I want to be rid of you, Addison, but shouldn't you be heading for make-up by now?"

Addison looks a bit sheepish at Rodney's question. Truth is, he's almost overdue, and the makeup crew has already threatened violence if he's late again. "Unfortunately, you are correct"
He squats down so that he's more at Lynn's eye level and tries to put a hand on her shoulder. "You'll be in good hands with Rodney," he murmurs, "I trust him." Trusts him with his precious sister who isn't really his sister at all, but for which he cares greatly nonetheless.

"He does not say that lightly," Lynn observes, looking Rodney over, pausing on the feathers in his hair.
Well, he's more fun than most governesses, what can she say?

Rodney nods, smiling faintly. "Yeah, I know." He waves Lynn towards the supplies storage area. "I, also, have to get to work, but you'll be sticking with me as much as we can get away with. To start, I'm going to have to gather some of the materials, anyway."
As he walks, he asks, "So, what d'you think of the aliens?" It's not exactly a great segue, in that there's none at all, but... robots. Lots of people are interested in robots. No reason not to talk about robots, right?

Addison tries to give Lynn a quick hug and a peck on the cheek before straightening up. He shoots Rodney a smile before hurrying off to makeup.
OOC: Out of thread for the time being.

Lynn smiles at Addison with genuine affection and attempting to return his tokens in kind.
Anyway, now Rodney gets to do 'take your daughter to work' day, even if this is not his daughter.
She gives Rodney a peculiar look, as if wondering if he is one of the nutters who think that the space robots are deities, demons, come to save humanity, come to destroy humanity, or are otherwise engaged in anything other than the manhunt that they said they were. As far as Lynn can tell, the planet Earth is the Transformers' Afghanistan. "They are annoying. Do you have any idea how many crackpots and cranks now feel validated?"

Rodney is one of those nutters who believes that he has a robot's soul. There have been quite a few fringers making that particular claim of late.
It's just that in Rodney's particular case, it happens to be true.
"Quite a few, if the Internet's any judge, though the effect tends to be exaggerated there so it's hard to tell." He shrugs. "That's going to happen anytime anything out of the ordinary happens, though."
