A cry for help

[a distress call has been tracked across the void, finally leading back to the source. a hulking crippled ship, teeming with hostile alien life, now lies before you.

what do you do? do you dive in or hang back? are you here to learn, play, build, or observe?

however you choose to proceed, your audience is out there somewhere, watching.]



ooc: here is a good ol' themed mingle to get you all started! and don't feel limited by the prompts and what they describe--they're just there as idea-starters, so feel free to go anywhere and do anything.

have fun!

Mhm! That's how I've always done it, anyway. Though--I bet it's probably really weird if you've never had a program installed before...

[Come to think of it...yeah humans and brain implants still is kind of a new thing for most, isn't it? Ah, in retrospect, maybe that might have been a bit insensitive to say earlier--but before he can even begin to figure out how to apologize for that, faltering briefly, Yuya's already plowing on forward. And so Megaman ends up following that instead, shaking away the thought and standing upright with his handful of wires.]

But--ah, replace them, yeah! [But then his augment chimes, somewhere in the back of his head, and he falters again.] --Wait, no! Uh. No...we should clear out the burnt wires for sure, but--um, maybe we should check underneath those first too? At the rest of the console inside. So we don't have to take out the new wires if something goes wrong, I think...
entertainheir: (nope)

[Give him a minute to think about that...

And he slumps. Looks like this "let it come naturally" stuff is harder than he thought.]


Yeah, probably. Good catch.

[All in good time, bro!! He's got your back....and he totally catches that slump there.]

Hey, don't start feeling too bad yet, we've only just started! I almost missed that too, to be honest...you're doing fine. [Did u need an encouraging shoulder-pat well now you're getting a light and brief one with his free hand before he considers the console, leans down to fish up a pair of wire cutters.]

Here, could you hold these for a bit? I'll go ahead and snip out the burnt bits real fast... [Offering his handful of newer wires to Yuya; then, should the latter accept them, he'll start trying to wedge his cutters in there...] Actually, if you don't mind me asking...what did you do back home? Since neither of us are really engineers--I'm still trying to figure out how they assign these things!
entertainheir: (no I don't understand the plot either)

[personal profile] entertainheir 2015-06-21 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuya takes the wires as offered, still feeling dismayed at his goof even if the encouragement does make him feel a little better. He sighs.]

They probably thought it'd be funny to make me an engineer. Back home, I was no good at this kind of thing...I'm a duelist, so it's not like I needed any of it.

[Oh, wait.]

Ah, by that I mean I played a game that was popular at home. I'm an Entertainment Duelist, which means that I use my skills to excite the audience and bring smiles to people.

holy late tag batman oh my god I'M SORRY

[Snip, snip...it's a tight squeeze, but little by little the burnt wires start clearing out. This is probably what it's like to prune a plant or something, really--a very metal and alien plant. Well, okay, maybe not...tugging out little pieces of wire, Megaman's attention is sidetracked when Yuya clarifies.]

Oh, wow--that sounds really neat, actually! [He turns to face Yuya a bit better, clipping momentarily forgotten in his curiosity.] So you're sort of like a performer? Not just anyone can make people feel happy enough to smile during a show! You must be really good at it. [...Head tilting a bit, though--] Ah, it's a game, though? What do you duel with, exactly?
entertainheir: (if you could excuse me)

No problem, I think I've done this too...

[personal profile] entertainheir 2015-07-13 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Cards! It's a popular game where I come from.

[He starts reaches for his deck, because of course he carries it around with him even when he doesn't expect to use it these days, but he's holding the wires in the wrong hand for that and he has to do some awkward angling with his other hand if he wants to retrieve it. Whoops.]

Uh...maybe I can show you later, once we're done. It's a lot of fun, though.
recopy: (nnneeerd)

grips your shoulder, the struggle is real

[personal profile] recopy 2015-07-16 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so with cards...like a card game?

[His head tilts a bit further as Yuya tries to reach for the deck in question, although--oh, right, the wires. He's got half a mind to offer holding them again really, being that curious about just what Yuya might be talking about, but--no, okay, that's alright too. Later is good! Ah, they should probably be focusing on fixing things anyway...something bad would probably happen if they weren't paying attention. Right.]

I remember Lan used to play those a few times with his friends--but if yours are exciting enough to make shows, they must be a lot more interesting! [He smiles.] If you wouldn't mind showing me later I'd definitely like to see it, yes!
entertainheir: (the most exciting setback)

[personal profile] entertainheir 2015-07-16 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That's great!

[He perks up a little - that's the first time anyone's expressed real interest in the game, if only to start with. But that's better saved for another time and place, so he holds up the wires again as a gesture. He's feeling a little more optimistic about the work again.]

But let's finish here, first. We're here for a reason.
