FIX-IT LIVE

Who: anyone in the lobby
Where: the lobby.
When: Day 485

[ there's an old lady in the lobby who has seated herself at a table and has a set of tools in front of her. honestly it's enough tools that it's like, has she been only using points to buy materials while she's been here?

but anyway. she looks at the camera. she summons all her enthusiasm, which is to say, none. ]

If you've something you'd like to get patched up or tuned up, I'll do it for cost of materials plus a hundred points an hour. I'm willing to discuss custom projects. None of this magic repair or gadgeteering nonsense; I don't trust it.

Where else? Do you think you could mail somebody out?

[trainphreaking]

Getting people out is way too suspicious. That's what unmanned craft are for.

[malumdiscordiae]

[ nod nod nod. ] True. And you'll definitely be able to do that. But~ if you need somebody to help you break into the Game Tower let me know.

[trainphreaking]

[ aloud: ]

...you seem like you'd do that kind of thing anyway for fun.

[malumdiscordiae]

[ he laughs. ] Oh, I absolutely would. Not that I think this would do the trick, but it would be pretty interesting to see if we could derail a train into it~

[trainphreaking]

...

...am I going to have to put you on a baby leash.

[malumdiscordiae]

No. I won't do anything to jeopardize your plans.

[trainphreaking]

Good. It's a quality I appreciate and saves me having to go the extra step of asking that explicitly.

[malumdiscordiae]

Besides, all of this sounds real interesting. Have you started on the bots?

[trainphreaking]

I've done some tinkering so far. I've been trying to set up some collision detection and autonomous movement protocols, but that stuff's a pain in the ass.

[malumdiscordiae]

...kind of sounds like it. I'm guessing that's all programming stuff. I guess I can't help with that. Not my wheel house, I'm afraid. [ he pouts. ]

[trainphreaking]

Don't tell me it's not sufficiently cute, or whatever.

[malumdiscordiae]

Hah, no it's not that, I'm not good at robots. I'm good at people... like poking around their insides.

[trainphreaking]

When you say it like that, it makes you sound like a serial killer.

[malumdiscordiae]

I'm not good at garbage disposal though, so... I couldn't be a good serial killer.
