Room 205, Monday Morning
Rhys 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]

At least sirens could be explained with science. Maybe. He hadn't really looked into it because sirens were terrifying.

She would stick her hand out for a handshake but his seemed otherwise occupied.

"Not a bad handshake, considering," she told him, smirking a little. "Nice grip."

You know, help jam his arm into place.

"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."
no subject
"Hey, last time I had this done involved doctors." Or at least people in lab coats. Same thing, right?
He made a high pitched squeak of surprise when it finally slotted into place and then both the arm and he jerked like they'd been shocked. Nervous systems syncing up and all.

"So I gotta ask, why'd you take it out if you can't put it back in?" THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
no subject
"Longstory," he wheezed out in one quick sentence.
no subject
"Suit yourself," Faith said. While just observing his whole... process here.
...It was a little awkward, just watching him, but this was a weird, interesting spectacle.
"I'm just saying, maybe you could work out an arrangement with your roommate. They shove your arm back in, maybe you... sweep or dust every once in a while or something."

Hey, she wasn't judging. She was more like amused.

"Does he always whine like that?" she wanted to know. "It's a lot."

...That was about all she had, yup.

They were so dismissive of poor, poor Kuzco.

"This school makes no sense," Faith muttered. "Or is this just how high school is? Because I have no frame of reference, but this makes no sense."
no subject
"High school is nothing like that," Rhys replied vehemently. "College isn't even like this."
First of all, where were the crippling student loans and anxiety inducing standardized tests?
