[Filtered to any engineers/mechanics/people with knowledge on robotics.]

I am in need of someone to help me with some repairs. Preferably someone with knowledge in robotics. I can provide the schematics for what you'll be working on.

It's rather urgent as I can't move until the repairs are complete.

[Blues was plugged in and laying down on the work bench in his room. There wasn't much else he could do while missing an arm and a leg, not to mention his leg that was still attached was trashed.

For the most part he kept quiet and contemplated what had happened earlier; he had fought with another machine, while not exactly something new to him, it was the first time against one that seemed to think on the same level as he did. A lot of what happened had left him troubled.

"Well... ehe. You can't possibly think you're the good guy here, mate. Being suspicious of your own kind. This-thisthis wasn't even supposed to happen." Those words in specific kept coming back to him. ]

Robots aren't exactly my speciality but...uh why can't you move until repairs are complete?

You're not trapped under anything are you?

And ever. Oh dear.

[whistles_the_blues]

In a sense.

[There's an awkward pause. He had wanted so hard not to have anyone tinker with his parts]

My legs were damaged... I can't move until they've been repaired and the one has been reattached.

I'm not in condition to do the repairs myself.

[whichwayyoulean]

I'd ask what you were doing to manage that, but given where we are I don't think I want to know the answer.

I guess I can take a look. Where are you?

[whistles_the_blues]

That's probably for the best that you don't, it's complicated.

I'm on the third floor, room twenty-four. Just come right in when you get here.

[Blues' room is set up more like a lab than an actual bedroom. There's no bed, but an adjustable work bench that he's laid down on. His broken arm and leg are laying on the ground nearby.]

[whichwayyoulean]

That sounds like the story of every resident ever here.

[He really, really doesn't like stepping out of his room. But this is something that's sparked his inventive interests. And good lord does he need that. Take his mind off other things. Eventually, once he gets out of his tower and heads through the castle, he lets himself in]

Hello? Robot parts guy?

[whistles_the_blues]

[Blues waves his arm from the table to get his attention.]

Hey, over here!

[He looks down at his broken parts; His arm looks like it was ripped clean off clean off. While the arm could probably be fixed, most of the leg would probably have to be replaced.]

I appreciate you coming.

[whichwayyoulean]

[Wow, would you look at all that tech. The Once-ler gives a low whistle, heading towards him]

Wow, how did you even manage to do that?

[whistles_the_blues]

[There's a pause before he answers.]

I'd rather not go too far into the details...

There was a fight, it got messy.

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler shrugs, starting to look at the robotics]

That;s fine by me, I don't need details.

[whistles_the_blues]

I appreciate that, the schematics are in a drawer over there.

[He points to another shelf.]

Is there anything you can do?

[whichwayyoulean]

[He'll grab the schematics, peering over them]

I'm sure I could do something. At least to tide you over for a while.

[whistles_the_blues]

It doesn't have to be a perfect job, I'll worry about the fine details once the basics have been dealt with.

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler smiles, clapping his hands together]

Then the basics, I can do easily for you. Let's get started.

[whistles_the_blues]

Excellent.

I'm Break... Hopefully this is the only time we meet under these circumstances.

[whichwayyoulean]

I'm the Once-ler, and trust me, I've met people under weirder ones.

[He'll be opening up his tool box, yay he gets to DO STUFF]

[whistles_the_blues]

Here? You must be joking.

[And he has a witness too!]

[whichwayyoulean]

Seriously, this place is guaranteed to find weird everything. Especially first meetings.

[whistles_the_blues]

As I'm quickly learning, how long have you been here?

[whichwayyoulean]

[Starting to work away]

About nine months, give or take.

[whistles_the_blues]

I see.

Almost a month for me, twenty five days so far.

[whichwayyoulean]

Wow, so you've really thrown yourself into the thick of it, to get injured so fast.

[whistles_the_blues]

I did, but it was necessary. I had hoped I would be able to do any repairs I needed here myself, apparently I was mistaken.

[whichwayyoulean]

Yeah, sounds like Paradisa. It ruins all carefully made plans.

[whistles_the_blues]

Until this, I wouldn't say it's been all that bad. I suppose the castle could be partially to blame for setting what happened in motion.

[whichwayyoulean]

It does that. It's kinda sneaky, when it comes to messing you around.
