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.]

[Oh hey there, Isaac. Yeah...it's certainly a piece of work, isn't it?]


Well, 'might' is better than 'not at all'.

[He...slowly picks up a piece of it.]

Way better.

[abadidea]

What...happened to it?

( video )

[rassera]

Let's just say it's what happens when you cross a piece of tech and one really, really angry psychic.

( video )

[abadidea]

...what it you?

( video )

[rassera]

Me? Do I look like the kind of guy with psychic powers?

[Let's all pray that day never comes, to be honest.]

It's my friend's.

( video )

[abadidea]

Anybody could have psychic powers.

[But noted.]

So...he couldn't find someone to fix it himself?

( video )

[rassera]

[Okay point. Shut up, o-old man.]

Would you believe me if I said he's too stubborn?

( video )

[abadidea]

I might, but I still don't know if I buy it.

( video )

[rassera]

Heh, well, that part's true. Stubborn and he can't exactly call out for help, you know?

His comm's kind of all over the place.

Re: ( video )

[abadidea]

So you're just...being a good friend?

( video )

[rassera]

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.
