Video - Morons Make An Effort

[deadkord]

[ When the comm feed switches on, Ted and Booster are seated on their couch, in costume, looking as solemn-faced as they get. The effect is tarnished slightly by the fact that there is a Vegas showgirl's sequined, feathery headdress visible in the background. ]

So my esteemed colleague here and I messed up, and no one can ever say Blue Beetle and Booster Gold don't own up to their mistakes.

[ Literally everyone says that, because it's true. ]

We kinda skipped town for a combination birthday party and New Year's vacation right before things got bad in Heropa, and didn't exactly check the news while we were away.

Did you know they don’t have clocks in casinos? I didn’t. Also, did you know that Vegas has something like three buffets to every person? Someone was insistent.

[ Booster manages to look genuinely contrite while also side-eyeing Ted, which is kind of impressive. ]

Anyway, the point is, we're offering our services to anyone who needs them. We can help with the aftermath of the Heropa stuff, or anything else.

Need some heavy lifting done? Cats rescued from trees? Trees rescued from cats?

Gadgets made or repaired? How about an experienced model to advertise for your place of business? If you need it done, we can help. Probably.



(Ted, Booster.)

[May or may not recognize Hermann's voice as Newton's 'mathematician']

What sort of experience do either of you have in repair or.. construction?

[deadkord]

Repair or construction of what, specifically?

[mathemagier]

Mechanical work- machinery, vehicles and that sort of thing.

[deadkord]

That's absolutely my sort of thing. Once I have the workspace for it, I'm going to be building a vehicle of my own from the ground up.

Do you have any specific projects in mind?

[mathemagier]

Well I actually.. that is precisely what I had in mind myself. I have designs and abilities to assist with the construction. Have only been lacking the time necessary to devote to such a project. Do let me know if you acquire such space in the near future.

[you_tried]

Uh, I can lift heavy objects? And I know the difference between the kinds of screwdrivers. At least the ones in this century.

[mathemagier]

Well that's a start, I suppose. Unfortunately, I'm in need of someone with considerably more experience in mechanical engineering.

[you_tried]

Oh, well, that's pretty much the opposite of me.

[mathemagier]

Oh? Then what are your specialties? Other than impressive physical feats, of course.

[Is that flattery or sarcasm? It is a mystery]

[you_tried]

[ He assumes it's the latter, but will totally take it as the former. ]

Does handsomeness count?

[mathemagier]

[Well Hermann's certainly amused enough to play along]

Not anymore, I'm afraid.
