I require the assistance of Allen Ridgeley. Please contact me immediately.

[That is all.]

Comments

[temptestament]

*Maybe, but he'd like it if he had at least one identity that wasn't publicly associated with some group or another. Besides, it's an excuse to not wear the stupid cape.*

That shouldn't be a problem, as long as all of the parts are salvageable. Where is it?

[kosmic_angel]

[That is a stupid cape, not that she's seen it yet.]

The second dormitory floor, room thirteen in the trunk provided for my equipment.

[temptestament]

*He thinks the whole outfit is stupid, really.*

Alright, I'll be there in a minute.

[kosmic_angel]

Affirmative. I will await your arrival.

[temptestament]

*Actually, it's a little less than a minute later when he knocks on her door.*

[kosmic_angel]

[She's quick to open the door and let him in. The F-SCYTHE is already set on top of the trunk, in two pieces.]

[temptestament]

*When he sees what it is, he nods.*

Ahhh, that explains it. They must have decided to let you have it even though it was too big by making it fit. Well, let's hope they paid at least some attention to how the parts are arranged instead of just cutting right through it.

*As he's talking, he's already walking over to examine the weapon.*

[kosmic_angel]

Scans indicate that it was not severed in order for it to be placed in the trunk.

[KOS-MOS stands aside, making no other comments unless Allen asked her something.]

[temptestament]

That should make this easier then.

*But since he's never even seen this thing up close before because what is fighting when you can avoid it, he'll take a moment to use his own inhuman sensory abilities to figure out how it's put together and how it was taken apart. It doesn't take him long to realize one thing.*

This doesn't look like it was designed by Ms. Uzuki, Kevin or me...

[kosmic_angel]

It was not. The design and construction of the F-SCYTHE is partly attributed to Miyuki Itsumi of the Second Division.

[Knowing Miyuki, if he could look close enough, she had probably signed it or something. Just for the sake of showing off.]

[temptestament]

*But he's only paying attention to the design, not the cosmetic details. And after analyzing it for a little while longer, he nods.*

I should be able to fix this without too much trouble.

[kosmic_angel]

Your assistance and haste is appreciated.

[temptestament]

*He's not even going to bother taking the scythe out of the room. He ends up using both his hands and his powers, some parts moving on their own. He mutters a bit under his breath as he works, mostly comments about the design with the occasional grumble about the lack of soldering tools. Ultimately, though, he gets everything reconnected and the outer shell fuses itself together seamlessly.*

There, it should work normally now.

[kosmic_angel]

[She observes him silently, scanners running the entire time he works in the hopes of understanding what he does in case it becomes damaged again and she can't contact him as easily.]

Thank you, Allen.

[temptestament]

*He does his best to ignore her, although the occasional slight shift or glance closer to her direction might indicate that he's a little uneasy with her watching him so intently. Still, he smiles when she thanks him.*

Don't worry about it. We need all the defensive abilities we can get around here.

[kosmic_angel]

[And she's completely unaware of why he might be uneasy. Wilhelm had mentioned that he died but, oops, he didn't mention how.]

That is correct. I have already observed several dangerous creatures here.
