Capsule 005 💊 (Video)

[rassera]

[The video feed pops on, showing Kaneda on his bed with...what looks to be the remains of something electronic. Something...pretty familiar. So familiar that it may match what you're holding in your hand to watch this said video. Wires are spilling out of it, some not even attached anymore, and the casing looks like it got bent like a spoon.]

So.

Anyone know how to fix a busted comm?


[A hand reaches up to rub the back of his neck as the other gingerly picks up the device between two fingers, wires dangling.]


I'd say technical difficulties is understating a biiiit~ but I guess it depends on your point of view.

[It's for a friend, okay.]

Whether he sees it as that or not, yeah.

( video )

[abadidea]

...why do I get the feeling this guy doesn't want it fixed...?

( video )

[rassera]

In a way, you're right.

He's too stubborn to ask.

( video )

[abadidea]

...that's not exactly the same thing.

( video )

[rassera]

Yeah, well, not like he can really call anyone to help, right?


Since...

[He holds up a piece of Tetsuo's...beautiful masterpiece.]

( video )

[abadidea]

[That gets a laugh from Isaac.]

Yeah, I guess not.

( video )

[rassera]

So.

Any chance you could take a look, old man?

( video )

[abadidea]

[...]

Well, there was, and then you called me that.

( video )

[rassera]

Old -and- sensitive!

[KANEDA THIS IS HOW PEOPLE HANG UP ON YOU.]

( video )

[abadidea]

You know, I haven't set a price, yet.

( video )

[rassera]

Price?

[WHOOOA RECORD SCRATCH.]

I...what I mean is...


You'd charge a kid?

[HAHAHA...yeah, l-let him pull out that card.]

( video )

[abadidea]

...do you even know how much parts for something like that cost?

( video )

[rassera]

...

[You're talking to someone who's barely paid for anything in his life.]

Do...you?

( video )

[abadidea]

[He nods.] Of course. I've been doing things like this for a while.

[You already noted I'm old...]

( video )

[rassera]

...

[Tetsuo, he fuckin hates you right now.]

Okay. Price.

( video )

[abadidea]

I don't know how much the parts are going to be, but...I'll do it for a hundred.

( video )

[rassera]

A hundred?!


[Give him a moment, he's got to take that in.]

( video )

[abadidea]

...that's actually less than I'd usually charge.

( video )

[rassera]

[See this is exactly why he doesn't pay for anything!!1]

...Dammit, Tetsuo.


Alright. You've got a deal.

( video )

[abadidea]

[Isaac nods at that.]

Alright then. I work down at the marina in Heropa, if you want to drop it by. I'll have a look at it.

( video )

[rassera]

Heropa, marina. Got it.

Shouldn't take me too long to get there.

( video )

[abadidea]

[Isaac nods at his response.]

I'll be here, in the machine shop.

(action)

[rassera]

[Motherfucking Tetsuo Tetsuo you put in the time fuck put in the time motherfucking build that comm shit with his bare hands fucking best friend shit Tetsuo I'm very tired.]

[That being said, he books it to Heropa, using the map on his bike to traverse until he finds the marina. Walking inside.

UGHHHH]

(action)

[abadidea]

[All that's going to be visible are Isaac's legs as he's under a lifted machine at the moment, but he slides out on a cart when he hears footsteps.]

Hey, it's you.

(action)

[rassera]

Kaneda.

[He backs up a little, letting Isaac have some space to slide himself out. There's a plastic shopping bag looped around his elbow, swinging idly as his brows raise up.

You better be worth all that talk for the money he's shelling out, old man...]
