[Frank has been lying low since the blackout. When the government gave him a reward, he didn't want to risk building any more notoriety outside of his typical reputation. It's one of the many reasons to leave Heropa, besides him having more work to do up north.

So when he returns to the Network, it's to unceremoniously use it as Craigslist. Again.]

Need to know about the cheapest places to rent in Maurtia Falls. And a decent mechanic.

Maybe away from the permanent fireworks. [A mumbled aside, almost cut off by him stopping the feed:] At least Tomorrowland laid off the floating old fuck in the stars.

[Robbie has mostly been sticking to text on the Network because of all the incriminating things he did during the blackout in front of fellow imPorts—things he's not interested in having catch up to him, really—but this calls for audio. It's not every day you make a murder pal!]

As long as it's not a hovercar, I can fix it.

[380s]

[Ah. He recognizes that voice. Hard to forget the kid harboring Satan.]

It don't run on brimstone.

[audio]

[quemar]

[Oh yeah, he's not murder pal. He's a murder asshole. Robbie briefly forgot.]

Yo, I've got a dayjob, and that's it. You need a mechanic or not?

[audio]

[380s]

[His first mistake.

But Frank grunts. Fair enough. Not everyone is full time like him.]

Yeah. Got an old piece of shit down in Heropa. [A pause.] Can't offer you much.

[audio]

[quemar]

Let me take a look and I'll give you an estimate. [He will lowball the shit out of it. Honestly he just misses working on cars SO MUCH.]

[audio]

[380s]

Engine's alright for how old it is. Needs a lot of body work.

[audio]

[quemar]

Alright. Name a time and a place. [A BEAT.] After four.

[audio]

[380s]

Need to wait until after sunset?

[His tone is dangerously close to joking.]

[audio]

[quemar]

Yeah, I burn real easy. [Somebody put a stop to this, please.] ...That's when my shift is over.

[audio]

[380s]

[A dry huff. He won't let himself dignify that with a laugh, even if he started it.]

Right. You still in Heropa?

[audio]

[quemar]

Yeah, but I can use the Porters. [Whoops, guess who Registered.]

[audio]

[380s]

Hm. Luxurious.

[He'll preach about Big Brother later. Get ready, Robbie.]

[audio]

[quemar]

[Oh no what has he gotten himself into? Robbie snorts anyway.]

I still need a time and a place, man.

[audio]

[380s]

Keeping it in a lot two blocks away from the Porter for now. Can't miss the cargo van that looks about twenty years too old to be on the street.

[audio]

[quemar]

I can be there in an hour.

[audio]

[380s]

[Just a grunt and a click. Shared goals won't make him less rude.]
