II. Video

[Erwin clearly looks tired today. Tired and grumpy. There dark smudges under his eyes and he doesn't look to be in very pleasant mood. But that's not the point of this inquiry.

No, the point of his inquiry this early morning is the vacuum cleaner on the floor behind him which had been sliced cleanly in half, laying in two pieces. He clears his throat before speaking.

Val, those new blades work beautifully, by the way.]

It seems our vacuum cleaner has broken.

[His expression doesn't encourage anyone to point out otherwise. He's been woken up in the early hours of the morning by that thing far too often after only a few minutes of sleep. Though, he also knows how someone feels about the vacuum. So here he is, this is almost his way of apologizing to maybe overacting.]

As I am not familiar with all the technology available and the options, I am seeking an alternative which doesn't make as much noise to replace the vacuum cleaner.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Sorry, Levi.]

[ It was his lunch break; he had it all planned to the letter. Grab something to satisfy the caloric intake training demanded of him, then go out there and top the station record for hooking up the hose by ten seconds. But no, no. It bottomed out when he just happened to look at his phone. Day officially over and off the rails. ]

[..........]

Did you just slice your vacuum cleaner in half because it was too loud?

[Sorry, Erwin. Severe expression or not, Jaime doesn't possess the proper brain-to-mouth filters to avoid asking the obvious.]

[sacrificusdux]

It was not functioning as needed so thus the need for a replacement.

[So, yes. And he doesn't look the least bit sorry about it either.]

[ She ain't even going to ask. ]

They make vacuums that clean with minimal noise possible.

[sacrificusdux]

[Which is greatly appreciated.]

Do they? And if I may ask, where could one be procured?

[It might be urgent.]

[smarterthandad]

[Oh good, a field test.]

Can I have the pieces? I want to look at the microstructure along the cuts.

[sacrificusdux]

[You're welcome, Val, he's happy to help.]

Of course. I would be interested to know your results but I am pleased with the performance of the blades.

[Excuse you missy.

Val, what...?

[He'll come up with the rest of that question in a second.]

[youbastard]

[Well, that's one way to deal with something annoying.] Have you checked any stores to see if they have noiseless ones? They have them when I'm from. [But who knows if that's a thing in that past.]

[sacrificusdux]

[And it's pretty efficient as well.]

It may be worth investigating nonetheless, if there is overlap in the technology it would be quite useful.

[acclimatized]

[ ... unfortunately, this isn't the weirdest thing john's seen. ]

Avoid Henry Hoovers. They're cute, but they make a hell of a racket.

[sacrificusdux]

Duly noted, thank you. It seems rather counterproductive for such a device to make such noise.

[Because normal people have to deal with someone regularly vacuuming at 3am, obviously.]

[ironbuttmonkey]

Do you make a habit out of destroying things that don't do what you want them to?

video;

[sacrificusdux]

As it did not perform as required, yes, it will be necessary to replace it.

[It's only being efficient and sleep deprived, really.]

[darkspider]

[What a time to actually check and see what the hell people see on this.]

What the hell did you use on that?

[He asks because he wants one.

Enter: Kaine in public. The big thing is that despite it being a video function, he's looking in the wrong direction.

Well, he's trying.]

[sacrificusdux]

Single blade only, it was more efficient.

[Erwin's a little protective of their 3DMG gear and blades, especially the new upgraded ones but he's still pleased with the performance despite the circumstances.

He clears his throat, he understands technology can be difficult to use at first considering where he himself had come from.]

You may wish to adjust your video feed.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That really quite -- what's the vernacular?

Sucks.

voice;

[sacrificusdux]

I assume that is the common saying for a less than ideal situation here?

[He didn't really get that, but he'll guess from the context. He doesn't know how vacuums work, other than they make a lot of noise at 3am.]

[symbionic]

[UH. UH. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH VAL BUT IF HE DID, HOO BOY.]

Did you just chop your vacuum cleaner in half?

[sacrificusdux]

As it was not working, yes, it was time for it to be disposed of.

[Erwin's not at all sorry, that thing was loud in the morning.]

[bulwank]

Did you pay for that appliance?

[sacrificusdux]

I handle household expenses, yes.

[detriments]

Someone doesn't handle tantrums too well.

[sacrificusdux]

Merely an efficient method to dispose of a broken appliance.
