I don't mean to be a nuisance, but...is anyone good with electronics, or repairing them? I could use some help fixing something I got from home.

[Okay, so maybe adding the finishing touches on a suit of fusion-powered armor is a bit beyond the typical electronics hobbyist, but in Rick's mind anyone that can successfully fiddle with a circuit board is intelligent enough to build a jetpack. Right? Isn't that how these things work?]

Electronics? What is it that you are trying to repair? [As this guy is good with cybernetics and stuff like that.]

[Don't mind the text--Rick is not the best with recordings.]

It's a power suit one of my friends was making, but he didn't finish it. I...kind of know what he was planning to add, but I don't know how to make them.

[flarefor_beauty]

A power suit? [Now, you've got his attention.]

What does this power suit do?

[bashfulshifter]

I'm...honestly not sure, sorry. As far as I remember, it's mostly made like a set of armor--but I think he was also making room for a jetpack? I don't know what else.

[flarefor_beauty]

Perhaps I could have a look at it? I'm rather good at tinkering with electronics and machines such as the ones you speak of.

[bashfulshifter]

If you'd like! I would really appreciate the help, if you're willing to take a look.

[flarefor_beauty]

I am willing to take a look. [He nodded.]

Where shall we meet, so that we may discuss fixing your machine?

[bashfulshifter]

I have the suit in the Workshop right now--floor fifteen, I mean. I can meet you there in a little while, if that's okay.

[Which he will be, if Lysandre is heading there like he implied. The power suit itself is in pieces strewn over a table, which Rick has been able to roughly organize based on shape...but apart from that, he has no idea how this is supposed to go together. Most parts are loosely connected by wires and thin, clear tubes, plastic arteries which all meet on what looks to be a backplate. It is split open and has a mess of electronics spewing out of its maintenance hatch. The whole ensemble appears quite complex!]

[flarefor_beauty]

That will be fine.

[A few moments later Lysandre walks into the workshop on Floor fifteen. He eventually found where he was going, after asking a few people along the way. He spotted the suit on the table before he spotted the man next to it.]

So, this is your suit.

[bashfulshifter]

[Rick nods but otherwise can't bring himself to say anything immediately. He's moved out of the way so Lysandre can view the suit without his interference--the man is much more imposing than he is, and obviously on a mission, which is more than enough to put the blushing blonde man in his place.]

[After a few moments of awkward silence, wherein Rick stares at his shuffling feet, he realizes that he needs to correct himself: ]

--A-Ah--m-my f-f-friend's. I c-c-couldn't... [He chuckles nervously.] ...I-I d-d-don't think it c-c-could f-fit me.

[His knowledge is based off of the fact that his friend is much smaller than himself, but it might be evident from Rick's organization that the suit isn't very large anyways.]

[flarefor_beauty]

It is an impressive piece of equipment. None I have had real experience with, yet I feel I can bring my experience to help you repair it. I have worked on far greater works of art than this one. [Yeah, such as a Pokémon weapon which could destroy the world. Also, his cyber suit.]

You wish this to fly? Become a jet pack?

[bashfulshifter]

[The creator of this suit would have some strong words regarding art and machinery for Lysandre, but Rick is just happy to have some help with this. He nods with enthusiasm.]

I-Is--is that p-possible? I m-mean...I th--think that's w-what he w-w-wanted to a-add...
