Sparky Repairs, Sunday

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Today was a studying type of day like in RL omg. The twins hid themselves under the counter with their notebooks out and pens in hand. They set the bots out in front to watch for customers, in case anyone felt like coming in to stare at their pretty lights or maybe even needed some work to be done-what a concept.

Sparky's is open.

"Hello?" Billy called as he stumped his way into the shop.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

The twins pop up from behind the counter. "Hello. Can we help you?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Eeep. those guys still gave him the creeps. "Uh, hi. Uhm, I dropped off a prosthetic leg on monday. John said it should be done, sort of in a week, I was just checking to see if it was ready."

now from the right journal

They shrugged and set their notebooks down on the counter, going into the back where John normally worked to check for some sort of leg-shaped object.

"Yea, I think it's done!" Hikaru called from the back room, him and Kaoru emerging a few moments later with the leg between them so that neither had to fully touch it. Ick...they were caring someone's leg.

What it was just metal for cryin' out loud :D

"Oh good." Billy sighed with relief. He began removing the loaner pegleg. "How much do I owe?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They placed it daintily on the counter and stared for a few seconds. How much do you charge someone for a metal leg?!
"Uh.... how much does it usually cost..?"

"I've no idea I've never had to have it repaired before." he was starting to run very low on the money he had. He suggested a handwavy figure, that was probably too low.

He also finished undoing the straps for the plastic peg leg, and leaned it agains the counter. There was now an empty pantleg dangling from his hip. He supported himself with the counter as aid.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

The twins ignore the dangling pant leg, and turned to Hikaru's laptop, looking up cosplay metal arm prices. It seemed like an appropriate thing to do. After looking at a few prices, they suggest another handwavey figure; something a little more than what Billy had suggested. It seemed a more appropriate number for a week's worth of work.

Billy wasn't an experienced haggler, and he could afford that, though he'd have to start thinking about getting a job.

"Sounds good." he said, pulling out a credit card.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Both nodded in satisfaction and took the card once it was offered, swiping the card and ringing up the total on the register.

Meanwhile, Billy took his leg, good and shiny as new, and may have briefly looked at it sentimentally, before strapping it on.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Hikaru slid the receipt and a pen over near him on the counter, exchanging glances with Kaoru briefly.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy signed the receipt, strapped on the leg, and then did a deep knee bend. Yep that was a loud popping noise coming from his hip.

"Oh damn that's better."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Twin grimaces flashed across the twin's faces. Ack..that didn't sound 'better'...
"Great..."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Well you try walking around in a peg leg for a week, see if your hip doesn't get unhappy. "Thanks guys." he said, turning to leave.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"No problem." They nod and pick up their notebooks to get back to studying.

The gingerbread man was starting to get tired. His weetiny gingerbread legs had done a lot of work already today. Which was why he leaned against a door to rest for a while.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Hikaru was returning to the shop with some late lunch for Kaoru and himself. He was humming and not really paying attention to the ground, so opening the door without noticing the weetiny man was completely plausible.

[fh_extras]

With a little "oh no" face, the gingerbread man fell backwards into the shop, flat on his back. He scrambled to get up before the door closed. It would be bad to get crushed, woe.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Hm?" Hikaru looked down mid-hum and blinked. He had noticed somthing move near the ground and had been expecting a leaf not a cookie.

[fh_extras]

The gingerbread man shook a tiny fist at him.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Another blink.

"Are...you ok, little cookie?" Hikaru crouched down near the cookie in the doorway to get a better look at him and his little shaking fist.

[fh_extras]

The gingerbread man brushed himself off as well as he could and nodded. He then mimed running and panting to show that he was tired.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Hikaru nodded slowly. "Are you...running from someone?"

[fh_extras]

He shrugged, then nodded. Running away from someone was the same as running away from weird fleshy people who wanted to eat you, right?

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Eatting the cookie was the last thing on Hikaru's mind. First of all, it was alive. Why would anyone want to eat something that could still run?!
"If you need a place to hide, you can come in...otherwise," He glanced around, feeling strange talking to a small baked good, "I'm sorry I knocked you over."

[fh_extras]

He made a shrugging/nodding motion of forgiveness, and took a seat on the floor to rest for a moment.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Cool...I'll leave you to that..." He nodded and stood back up, stepping around the cookie and closing the door carefully.

[fh_extras]

The gingerbread man flopped backwards, flat out, exhausted.
