[video] ⚙ heartbeat, heartbreak

[fuhgeddaboudit]

Is it...over? Is everybody okay?

[Labrys was hesitant, speaking like she was either upset over something or just hadn't wanted to record video in the first place. The mechanical girl's red eyes didn't quite look at the camera, slightly downcast.]

Uh--listen, if anybody's got time, I could kinda use some help. If anyone knows stuff about fixin' machinery, could ya meet me somewhere? It ain't hard, I can tell ya what needs repairin' and all that.

[She paused as if considering whether to end it there or not.]

...And, uh...Hidetoshi? Can I talk to ya when y' got a minute?

It felt like a really fun one back when it was just costumes and candy.

[But then people started dying...]

What sort of problem?

[There's a pause as she realizes they haven't been introduced yet.]

I don't think I've seen you before. Hee~ey, I'm Rei. What's your name?

[fuhgeddaboudit]

My name's Labrys. It's nice t' meet ya.

[She held up her arm; the metal casing was damaged, a few wires and bits of metal sticking in odd directions. Kind of like something tried to crush it.]

See, I got this problem here, but I might need somebody t'hold my arm down if they try to help me fix it. Protocol would be to deactivate pain sensors and things like that if I needed repairin', but I don't think I know how t' do that on my own.

[terreifying]

It's great to meet you too!

[Her eyes go wide at the sight of the wires.]

Are you a cyborg?

[She wishes Mana was here. Mana would know better about cybernetics.]

I think I can hold you down during the operation just fine.

[fuhgeddaboudit]

I'm an android. I can try not t' move too much, but I'm kinda stronger than I look and I don't wanna hurt you.

[terreifying]

I'm much stronger than I look. I could show you if there was a monster around.

[fuhgeddaboudit]

I'll trust ya. Where d'you want me t' meet ya?

[terreifying]

Well...you probably shouldn't move around too much with that arm, right? So why don't you stay where you are and I'll come over?

[fuhgeddaboudit]

If y'want. I can still move around okay, though.

[terreifying]

Alright. Then where are you right now? I'll get right over.

[fuhgeddaboudit]

I was on my way back t' my room.

[She gave Rei the room number because someone's too lazy to check.] You sure y' don't mind?

[terreifying]

I don't mind at all. I'm not doing anything anyway, and there's no monsters in the morning. So I might as well as help someone.

[She'll be showing up outside of Labrys' room after a few minutes.]
