fandomtownies | Sparky Repairs, Tuesday morning

[[ooc:should orlin come in and watch? he might later, he's having fun dismanteling the laundry washer in quarks apartment... it might not end up as a washer... :P]]

[[ooc: come by later :)]]

[[ooc: totally will, or come by quarks, i'll post something in a bit.]]

"Hey Clay," Orlin says cheerfully. He has an oil smudge on his cheek. Possibly form making a new and better laundry machine for Quark. Maybe.

"You working on the register?"

Agatha looked up. "Hey yourself." A spring from the register suddenly sprung away and landed right near his foot.

"Yup. Well, taking the old one apart first."

Orlin leaned down and in a fluid movement picked up the spring and placed it on the counter. And then he model style leaned on it. "Sounds like what I did earlier." He said smiling his usuall cheeky smile.

Agatha picked up the spring and placed it along withthe others, nto really noticing how he was standing. This was Science! and it was rather hard to distract her. "You took apart a register?"

"A laundry machine. Quark may kill me. I don't think he will know what it is..." He noticed how intent she was on her work. It was cute.

"Why not, is it somethign he did not have before?" Agatha had no idea what a washing machine was. Seh also had not yet looked up form the register. However it was almost completly apart.

"He had one, it just looked, and worked, very differently." Orlin explained, watching Clay work. niiice

"Ah." She was really not into words right now. The register was taken apart, and now was the time to create. She started putting the guts of the thing back together, but it was easy to tell the machine would be different.
As she worked, she hummed (http://pics.livejournal.com/heterodine/pic/000081fp).

Orlin leaned on the counter and watched. He had the feeling she wasn't up for talking right now~~omgdirtybutnotmeanttobe~~

Many many previously not there cogs and wheels went into the machine. A careful observer would note that with each note Agatha hummed, things jsut fit better, worked better, looked liek they belonged. A careful observer would also note that it sure looked like this cash register was going to have legs. And eyes.

[ooc: i'll jsut continue making this up then :)]

Orlin did indeed notice the humming, and the legs, and the eyes. Fascinating. He saw a spring that looked wrong. He deftly removed it and had two cogs, three pins and one wheel where he had removed the offending piece. Orlin eyed his contribution. That looked better.

[[ooc: orlin will have some contributions, he cant help himself.]]

Agatha furrowed her brow as she saw what he did. Another bit of humming later she removed one of the cogs he put in and replacedit with a very slightly different one, but left the rest in place.
As Agatha tightened some screwes, the legs twitched.

It moved! Amazing. Orlin leaned closer in to watch, not minding that ~~Agatha~~ Clay had fixed something he had fixed.

Agatha was unconcerned with her work moving, as long as it did not get in her way. She started attaching keys to the register, which was looking almost done. But Agatha had other ideas.

Orlin still watched, fascinated. It seemed to him, that in Clay's humming, there was the power that gave her creations life. Interesting.

[[ooc:Orlins also at the bar, maybe agatha will join him there?]]

As the humming continued, more and more the register looked done. When the outside case was put back on, it was obvious that it was modified.
Agatha welded what looked like arms to the register, but they did nto end in hands. They seemed to end in... bags?

[probably, if he asks, but she is not done. sheis a mad scientist. it can't be JUST a register]]

"When you're done," Orlin asked, watching in fascination, "Would you like to get a drink at the bar?"

[[ooc: like that?*giggles*]]

The bags turned out to be nets with small metal spheres attached to them.

Agatha was highly distracted by her work.

"What? I know you jsut said something, but unfortunatly i completly missed it... By the way, do you think i could test the thief-detering mechanism on you?"

[[ooc: yup, just like that. but sheis workign and thus may or may not respond]]

"Bar. After." Orlin said patiently, "And yes, you can test it on me." Hopefully it wouldn't hurt.

It took a second, but Agatha did process what he said. "Bar. After. Right. Go outside, come back in, walk to the register and say that you are here to steal all the money."

She pressed a button on the register which made it stand up on it's legs and open it's eyes.

"Ok."

Orlin did what he was told. He went out and came back inside, "Give me all your money or else," Orlin said in a cautious voice.

As soon as he uttered those words, the register came to life. it said "Stop! Theif!" in Agatha's voice though slightly more metalic. It then raised it's arms and threw the nets out of the bags. I's aim was perfect, as Orlin found himself covered in nets, one covering his upper body and arms, and another covering his legs, entangling him pretty thoroughly and causing him to fall.

Agatha was ready to attempt to catch him when that happened.

[[ooc: soo, does he weigh little enough for her to catch him, or a lot and thus htey wiull topple in aheap?]]

And they both toppled over into a heap. Of nets, arms, legs.

Orlin burst out laughing, utterly unable to move, even though Clay was trapped half under him.

"I think it works," he gasped out, still laughing so that it was rather hard to understand.

Agatha had ahard time not laughing, and finally jsut gave up and laughed. She did not expect them to topple over.

"Yes, i rather think it does." She was laughing to hard to really realize that they were in a rather compromising position on the floor in the middle of the shop.

Orlin couldn't move. He needed help to move. "Help." He man giggled."

"Can't, you are on top." Agatha was laughing hard enough to jsut pretend she had no idea how that sounded.

Orlin stopped laughing, looked at her, and then laughed even harder.

"You caught me in a net," He choked out, "I can't move, you are going to have to wriggle out, sorry." ~~omg that sounds horrible but its true, he cannot move~~

Agatha's movements were impeded both by Orlin on top and her peals of laughter. However she somehow managed to wiggle out and started untwisting the nets.

Orlin had several lascivious thoughts, but squished them. And waited to be un-netted.

"You know, you might want to change it so they dont have to say they are stealing something, like, them actually trying?"

Agatha also had several thoughts and they just made her turn red.

"It will do that too, but i didn't want you to actaully have to go though the effort of tryign to steal anything."

"Smart machine," Orlin said, after he had been unwrapped ~~omg so sorry but convo w/ camulus is making me insane~~ "Ready for a drink?"

"It is, isn't it?" She smiled. "And yes. Though probably light on anything actually alcoholic. Or i will pass out. And that would be bad."
~~i can tell, having jsut read what is there now...~~

"That would be terrible" Orlin agreed, "I might have to actually spend some time with myself then." ~~and he did it again~~

[[ooc: camulus' mun started it! they're my roomate next year.]]

"Why in the world would you not want to spend time with yoruself?" she talked as she put the net away and prepaired the shop to be run by dingbots rather then herself. "you would make a wonderful conversation partner for yourself."

[[ooc: hee. me, i can't write like that. i run out of adjectives. or something.]]

"I would get bored, I already would know what would happen in the conversation. Real people are more interesting, they are unpredictable. Anyways, I spent much to much time alone before I came here." He grinned. He wouldn't tease her for that comment, this time.

"I suppose. I talk to myself all the time. It helps me make descisions." She looked over the shop, and satisfied that everything was in order, walked to the door. "CAritas?"

"Sounds like a plan."

[[ooc: and lets end this here new day and all:D]]

[[ooc works for me]]

[[00c; wonderful off to classes, ick, well, ok, my one class of the day but i have so much to do!]]
