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]

"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..."

"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."

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.

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.

Date: 2016-09-12 06:38 pm (UTC)She would stick her hand out for a handshake but his seemed otherwise occupied.

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."
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 07:27 pm (UTC)"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.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 07:36 pm (UTC)"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
Date: 2016-09-12 07:50 pm (UTC)"Longstory," he wheezed out in one quick sentence.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 08:01 pm (UTC)"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."
