Hey.

[Well, look at this.  Someone's actually reaching out to the network.  This is not the usual state of affairs for Sollux, considering how moody and introverted he tends to be.  Something must be up.]

Anybody got anything they need fixed?

[He waits a second.]

Or anything you don't mind me breaking on purpose and then fixing, I guess.  Because you know what would be fucking great right now?  Having something other than slavery and mind control to unhealthily obsess over.

Well, I need something put together, if you're an Engineer...

Happi!

Okay, my Happiny needs something put together.

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

Analyst, actually. This stuff's just a hobby.

[Sollux blinks at the feed - not that you could really tell with those weird glasses he's wearing.]

...So what's the job.

[celebrity_commentator]

As far as I can tell, Toyo desperately needs a specific kind of stone because she wants to evolve. I asked around, and apparently you have to build this kind of stone from stuff you find up in the Mountains.

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

How high up? I can at least work on getting the stuff, but these two aren't exactly star athletes.

[A Klink and a Weedle slowly scoot into frame to look at Rise and Toyo on the other end.]

All right, quit crowding.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, we shouldn't need to pack snowshoes, from what people have been telling me. Mostly I'd just need a couple different types of rock and some eggshells, which I can hit up restaurant kitchens for.

[Toyo waves politely.]

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

You know what these rocks look like, or are we bringing back piles of gravel and hoping for the best?

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, the shopping list is "Dense Rock" and "Whetstone". I figure just go find something heavy and something flat and check with an Engineer.

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

Most rocks tend to be pretty dense.

[celebrity_commentator]

I didn't name it. I guess they want denser rock.

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

...Sure. That makes sense.

[So grumpy, Sollux.]

Fine, whatever. It's not like I have anything important to do around here anyway.

We have plenty of things at the shop that need fixed.

[Jeff adjusts his glasses, barely seen before an excitable Elekid jumps in to look at the Warp Band screen and Sollux.]

I'm sure Dr Andonuts would like the extra help.

That's what I like to hear. You looking to hire? Freelance isn't cutting it lately.

[goingsouth]

He might be. It's called Donut Repair, in the business district... I think we have applications somewhere...?

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

You guys fix donuts? Like if they don't have enough sprinkles on them or what?

[goingsouth]

... No. It's Dr Andonuts's shop. Like... "And Donuts"...

1/2

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

So you sell donuts too?

2/2

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

...Okay, no, seriously. Yeah, I'd like to work with you guys. Before I fuck that up too.

[goingsouth]

[Jeff types in the address next to his reply.]

I'll be here all day. I'll look for the applications.

[thii2_ii2_2tupiid]

I'll send Klink over with it later.
