 Hey guys.

[Kay, you've been rather absent recently...]

Great work with that pillar. I mean...I would have gone with you but I've had...promises to keep. It's all fixed, right?

[Right. Good.]

I know this is short notice but I really...really need some help. Who's good with tech?

[sweats nervously, kay most of the stories he doesn't want to tell you because they involve death and necromorphs]

[so let him just sidestep that by...]

Why don't you tell me some of their stories while I have a closer look at this thing?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Hey man, she's seen some pretty intense shit.]

Oh c'mon, a guy like YOU wants to hear stories about a froofy lawyer?

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

[do those things involve people being horribly torn to pieces by zombies :Ua]

You just said they're interesting! How can a thief have less interesting stories than a boring old engineer?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

[...Okay no you've got her there. But she's totally seen murder.]

Well...how about I tell you about the time Mr. Edgeworth took me to see the Steel Samurai?

The Jammin' Ninja's totally better, though.

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

[murder and then the victim being forcibly mutated into a gross zombie? 8|]

Sure, that sounds a lot more interesting than the story of that time I got called out to help fix a broken circuit, only to find out the guy who called me just hadn't plugged it in.

[he's just gonna poke and prod the device and do engineer-y things while she talks ok]

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Hey, she's seen zombie movies, how bad could a story be?]

Ugh, don't you hate when that happens? I mean, the toaster shouldn't trick you like that sometimes!

[Seems like Kay was on the other side of that situation...]

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

[>8( it's not happening]

It happened a lot when I was in the engineering college as well. Can I see your glove?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

[UGH worst uncle ever.]

Oh! Sure. It's from my suit.

[There's another few seconds of digging in her fanny pack, pulling out a metallic, armoured glove. As if from a mechsuit.]

Pretty cool, huh.

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

Incredibly well made, too. You sure you don't mind me rooting around in both of these things?

Not that I can't do it, more that if you're watching me it'll look like I'm cannibalizing the poor things.

[...where did she get a glove like that SERIOUSLY]

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Cannibalize away! You're an expert on this stuff, right? I trust you with it.

...

You like it? Ms. Solus Prime and Blurr gave it to me for my birthday.


...along with a whole suit.

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

I am. I believe what you're asking should be easy enough, and when I have mobility back in my arm I'll get it done for you.

[eyebrows go uuuuup] Solus gave you a gift? Wow. What did you steal for her for that?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Good, I'm putting my trust in you, Mr. Isaac. Don't let me down!

[But that smile widens.]

She gave it to me for my 18th birthday.

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

I wouldn't even dream of it!

How nice of her. What is it, a battle suit?

[there's a tiny frown. he hopes the first forged aren't expecting the kids to fight]

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Bingo.

When you're human in this place...you have to do things outside the norm.

[Uncle don't worry about her she's used to this.]

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

Yeah, I got that impression.

[HE'LL WORRY ANYWAY]

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Besides, looks like you know what it's like, wearing all that fancy high tech space gear.


...You're totally from space, aren't you.

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

[yeah nah he's not gonna tell her about the sorry state of earth in his own universe]

Born and raised on a small moon station near Saturn.

[he makes a face] I know not of your strange Earthen customs!

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Probably for the best. The less of horror story, the better, even if she might not agree.]

Wait...you're that far?


But how??

[YOU HAVE HER ATTENTION NOW.]

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

It's... standard for humans in my time.

[he can't even imagine what it's like in kay's universe you poor primitive monkey]

Uh. When are you from?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

[Well, that's actually the first time she's ever been ASKED that...]

Uh...2019. You?

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

2260.

Pretty far away! You know, I think I remember hearing legends of a great thief from Earth about 200 years ago...

[lying out his ass, of course, but hey - maybe kay will believe him??]

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

...







No way. You're making that up.

[Hook, line and sinker.]

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

Of course not! I mean, it's a bit of an old wives tale but I've certainly heard some engineers telling each other stories of the thief's exploits while we had to fix gravity stabilizers.

[steeples fingers. excellent]

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Old wives talk about me?!

[She's practically leaning over the bed, hands to her scarf and staring at Isaac with wide eyes. If she'd ever needed a spark to continue her legacy, she just got it now from him.]

So the legend of the Great Thief of Truth lives on?

Re: [Action]

[cec_engineer]

A whole comic line was based off the Thief's exploits!

Pretty sure they sell for thousands, now.
