got_hijackedRhys had been blissfully unaware of anything weird going on in town this past weekend. He'd been engrossed in finishing up the work on a rudimentary arm so he could at least have two hands to build a better one. Or maybe another ECHO eye...
Whatever. It'd get made.
If he could work out how to get this arm slotted into place without having to contort himself like a circus performer.
"Son of a bitch, c'mon," he muttered, having to reach across his body with his arm in an attempt to see what he was getting hung up on. Which meant a lot of frowning and jamming his hand into his shoulder socket.
Of course.
[Open, yesss]

Date: 2016-09-12 04:01 pm (UTC)Equal levels of weird in his book.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 04:19 pm (UTC)Also, the guy she was talking to was missing an arm and an eye. But that felt rude to point out.
"What's Hyperion?" See, Rhys was right!
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 04:27 pm (UTC)And he wasn't missing either of them. He knew exactly where they were.
"It's... the most powerful company around," Rhys said a bit sadly. But he recovered admirably.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 04:46 pm (UTC)Ah, video games about eeevil super-powerful companies that made guns and cops and stuff.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 04:53 pm (UTC)"The what?" He liked to think he had a pretty good handle on all rivals of Hyperion, after all.

Date: 2016-09-12 05:02 pm (UTC)Or not. Because he soooorta, kiiiiinda killed the company's Pandora base of opetations.
"Oh, man. I can't see any companies back home working like that." Because of the murder and all. "Hyperion would be the top of the heap there, I guess. Guns, tech, shields..."
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 05:10 pm (UTC)Also the CEO kiiinda had Faith's parents killed and kidnapped her baby sister. It was a thing.
"So it makes no sense that no one's ever heard of them, and I get to feel like I'm going crazy, which is fun."
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 05:13 pm (UTC)"Right?" he asked with too much excitement. "And everyone thinks it's just soooo easy to adapt to craziness."
Instead of the logical, video game worlds they came from.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 05:21 pm (UTC)"And it's not! I thought I was an adaptable person but that was before I took a class taught by a talking dog," she groused. "It's so good to hear I'm not the only one."

Date: 2016-09-12 05:35 pm (UTC)"And of course my 'big sibling'-" the air quotes were coming out - "wasn't any help. I mean, she was nice, but she basically told me magic is real."
Interesting stance from a girl who had a dog as a teacher.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 05:50 pm (UTC)At least sirens could be explained with science. Maybe. He hadn't really looked into it because sirens were terrifying.

Date: 2016-09-12 06:38 pm (UTC)She would stick her hand out for a handshake but his seemed otherwise occupied.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 06:40 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 06:45 pm (UTC)"Not a bad handshake, considering," she told him, smirking a little. "Nice grip."
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 06:50 pm (UTC)You know, help jam his arm into place.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 07:17 pm (UTC)"Just know this is the weirdest thing a guy has ever asked me to do," Faith let him know as she manhandled his arm into place. She probably could have been a little more gentle with it, sorry Rhys. "And I've lived in dorms with guys since I was seven."
