Good morning, everyone. [ said a polite but hesitant young man's voice offscreen. ] I might have a problem. Does anyone know how to sew?

[ The Omni hovered over a freshly laundered dark green jumpsuit. There were rips in the side where something with long nails or claws had scratched through. ]

I know it's bad, but this means a lot to me. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out in time for the festival. Thank you very much.

[She blinks when he actually pulls out the notebook. She had been warned but it was one thing to hear him say it. It was another to see him go and do it.]

Kind of, Sorta! I'll be the first to admit that my interests are solely on weaponry and other sorts of equipment. But with some time and effort I don't think there's much I couldn't put together.

My world is kind of overrun with monsters so being able to take care of your own gear when you're outside of a city or kingdom is pretty key. You can't rely on a small town still being around if you need a tune up.

[ It's a lifestyle. ]

Hang on... You might like these.

[ His eyes light up, and he fumbles offscreen for something. He'd be remiss if he didn't show off Hatsume's handiwork to a fellow gearhead. ]

These were designed by Hatsume-san, a student in the Support Course at my school. They make the support items heroes use.

[ They're parts of his hero costume: White work gloves with hard, circular wrists are placed on the floor in view of the Omni. They are followed by black metal plating in the shape of shoes. The Iron Soles make a solid thunk. ]

They're made to complement my super strength by directing its force. I can't wait to spar with you sometime!

[And Ruby waits and her eyes go wide with absolute delight when she sees his gloves and boots. Her own boots had steel toe caps so it was something she could appreciate.]

Woah- Those look so cool. That Hatsume must really know their stuff. I might need to a closer look at those. You know-So I can fix them up if you ever need it.

[And not because she's total nerd for this at all. At all.]

I might have to set aside some time to get a spar in. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do when we're stuck down a well.

[wannasmash]

Would you?! Thank you so much! She's really good. I feel kind of bad revealing her design to someone else, but it's an emergency.

[ Deer Country is always an emergency, all the time. ]

They're fully mechanical, no electric parts. I can provide a general description of materials, but I don't have the full manuals with me.

[ He grins. How can he refuse? ]

And a demonstration. Looking forward to anything you have to teach me, Rose-san.

[onekindsoul]

I would! It's the least I can do. And I'll make sure to keep the details of the design between us. I'm sure she'd rather you be able to fight than get stuck with nothing at all.

[She nods and jots down a few notes herself.]

Sounds good- Once I get an actual look at them I should be able to repair or duplicate the parts without much of a problem.

Please! That would be fantastic.
