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]

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 07:50 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."

Date: 2016-09-12 09:10 pm (UTC)...That was about all she had, yup.

Date: 2016-09-12 09:15 pm (UTC)"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
Date: 2016-09-12 09:17 pm (UTC)"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?

Based off Dahl tech. Probably based off Eridian tech.

Date: 2016-09-12 10:09 pm (UTC)"Yeah, that's pretty weird," she said, impressively mild as she took that in. "Does it cost a lot?"
HER PARENTS WERE DEAD.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 10:11 pm (UTC)"Yeah, a ton. Usually only vault hunters can afford it."
He was pretty sure it only worked for him because of Jack.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 10:14 pm (UTC)"Okay, I'm gonna stop asking you what things are any minute now," she promised, "but what the heck is a vault hunter?"
no subject
Date: 2016-09-12 10:19 pm (UTC)"Oh, them?" He had to avoid the kneejerk 'bandits' response. "There are these alien vaults that are supposed to be full of tech for the taking. And people are always looking for the to get rich."
He was one of them. The shittiest one, to be honest.
"But they're really hard to find," he muttered, looking at his metal hand. "And really dangerous."
