5th Repair ~ [Dictated]

[inharperwetrust]

Gooooood morning, Paradisa. Your resident mechanical genius Seamus Zelazny Harper, here. Did ya miss me? Of course you did. Stupid question. Now. Some of you'll remember me offering my many different talents in engineering and mechanics. That's still open, and the first one's still free.

Come one, come all. Nothing to big or small!

Also, locking the door was a lame trick, castle. I expected better.

[Aradia Megido]

Still need me to look over those robots for ya? Sorry, but I kinda got locked away until recently.

[Mark Hunter/Hard Harry]

Since you're the best to ask, what've I missed the past two weeks, boss?

--

[Church

Hey. Sorry I disappeared on ya, there. Your body's ready. That two-week stint let me finish the balancing in one leg, too. I've even got the instruction manual set up.

Harper

[originalcopy]

Man, what the fuck? Was your journal broken too?

[see he wasn't worried... he's just angry. It wasn't worry that had him visiting Harper's door and checking on him. It was just annoyance. And it's sure as hell not relief that has him almost miss the next part.]

Wait... it is?

Church

[inharperwetrust]

[He expected that bit there, grinning to himself.]

Yep. When can you come pick it up?

Harper

[originalcopy]

How about now? No time like the present right.

[He's going to make himself as transparent as possible and get his ass over to Harper's room without being seen.]

Church

[inharperwetrust]

Fine by me. Just knock before you come in.

Harper

[originalcopy]

Yeah, knocking isn't going to happen. Sorry.
I can give you a shout or something.

Harper; written

[psych0p0mps]

oh yes that would be great
although i am on a trip at the moment
so it will probably need to wait until i get back :0

Filtered and written forever!

[inharperwetrust]

Fine by me. Let me know, yeah?

Where are you, if you don't mind me asking?

[psych0p0mps]

sure thing
we are out at lastlook again on the west coast of the continent
making it clearer that there is a biohazard there

[inharperwetrust]

That's where you all brought back that disease that made everyone psycho, right? Hope you guys got decontamination showers.

[psych0p0mps]

haha we brought the cures along dont worry
but i definitely wont say no to a shower when we get back!
everything smells like hoofbeast

[Engineering and mechanics? This has caught Blues' ear. As much as he doesn't like to admit it, he knows there may come a time when he may need some repairs again.]

A mechanic, good to know there's one around.

What kind of work do you normally do?

Dictated

[inharperwetrust]

Robotics, Engines, Time Bridges... I can do anything.

[whistles_the_blues]

Anything? That's a pretty big claim.

I can't say I need any help right now, but knowing there's someone with knowledge in robotics is a relief. With my luck here so far, I may have to take you up on that offer sooner or later.

[inharperwetrust]

Oh yeah? What sort of robot we looking at, boss?

[whistles_the_blues]

A prototype combat robot, human shaped.

[He wont mention that he is the robot.]

[heloise]

What can you engineer?

[inharperwetrust]

Anything you want. I just built an android capable of housing an intelligent AI in a month, and that's not bad considering I didn't have access to a Commonwealth machine shop.

[heloise]

[ Whoa, she lost him at built. ]

Something less uncommon. Something to create warmth, the way the castle does with magic.

[inharperwetrust]

A heater? Easy. Could build it in my sleep.

[heloise]

Exactly that. How much would you ask for each?

Harper

[hard_talker]

[do you have any idea how weird it is to be called boss?]

Mostly just a lotta people dropping like flies. I was afraid you mighta been one of 'em.

Mark

[inharperwetrust]

[Pump up the Ego.]

Really? See, I knew this place'd be lost without me.

Harper, to end

[hard_talker]

[I see what you did there. also, clearly Harper's own doesn't need any help. Mark laughs]

In the words of Billy Joel, you may be wrong, for all I know, but you may be right. Basically right now, everyone's battening down the hatches for V-Day.

Re: Harper, to end

[inharperwetrust]

V-Day? Why does that sound like something I should avoid?

[hard_talker]

Because Valentine's Day is a very dangerous fuckin' thing around here, that's why. Last year just about everyone got locked in a room with someone else, and the castle all but encouraged them to make with the mattress bouncing or else shit got ridiculous.

[never mind that he got lucky and ended up stuck with his girlfriend. sometimes these things are convenient, okay. though he'll never explicitly thank the Castle for helping him say "adios, virginity"]
