Capsule 013 💊 | Audio; backdated to 12/01

Tetsuo's gone.

[It's the hardest thing Kaneda's ever been able to admit, and a large part of him didn't even want to make this broadcast. Something about how this was his business, or how it meant admitting defeat in his search for his best friend and family. His voice lacks the confidence it usually has, the undertone almost a soft squeak, as if he's trying to hold back tears.

That may explain why this is audio.]

You know.

For anyone that was looking, or whatever.

[There's an audible inhale and exhale, gloves covering his mouth as he thinks some things over.] So...I'll be taking over Neo Tokyo til I can kick his ass for ditching me with it. You know how to find me.

[No they don't.]

... [ oh so these were leading up to the thanks ]

Don't mention it. Just take care of yourself.

[See? You should stick around to the END of the movie before you get huffy, Genos!]

Yeah.

Hey, do you have to oil yourself? Like...all of yourself?

[Is that a small hint that he's feeling better? You bet it is.]

[ That's a... very good question. ]

In a way. I do have convenient ports for that purpose, but since I always underwent regular maintenance, I never had to worry about it myself

[ and now he should ]

[The answer actually surprises Kaneda. Not that he expected much from his shitpost question, but the fact that Genos sounded like he'd never thought of it himself...]

...Wait, seriously?

[ He's actually bad with complicated technology... what a fail ]

Unlike other fluid, oil for the joints doesn't need to be replenished that often. As long as I adhere to self-maintenance schedule I should not have any drop in performance of my body for a long time. Unless I get damaged of course.

[It's like listening to robots try to work a iphone...]

Well, I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I've done some checks on Tetsuo's arm when he was...here.

I could take a look at you whenever you need it.

...thanks, I appreciate the offer. I could really use that.

I'm trying to be more careful here, but things happens.

[ What is he really saying is that he's not good in keeping himself NOT damaged ]

Believe me, you can try all you want, but the American Government doesn't really put your priorities into account. They tend to like stirring up shit.

[At the worst possible times too.]

And that's not even counting the shitheads the Porter brings here.

I'm trying to keep an eye on who comes in, just in case... [ in that bad case in which his nemesis appears here ]

And if there is work to be done, I will try to be there. I might not heal - which I admit, is a disadvantage -, but I'm much more durable then those with organic bodies.

Same.

[although his body is actually 100% organic.]

One of the few things this place gave me.

[ in flat tone ] What [ There is no way Kaneda is fellow cyborg... OR IS HE ]

You mean the durability?

[Don't worry, Genos. That's a DIFFERENT 80's Anime classic.]

Yeeeeep.

[There's a soft thump of his fist against his chest over the feed.]

No real superpowers, but I'm pretty tough to take down.
