shop opening! | video | un:asamisato

[futureinventor]

[Asami's standing among a variety of machinery. Some look pretty simple and familiar, depending on where you're from, and some might be quite obviously native to Trench — that is to say, quite gothic and mystical looking despite still technically being mechanical. Asami's smiling brightly, and she gives the camera (her omen) a wave.]

Hello everyone! I'm pleased to announce the opening of my new shop, Sato Repairs!

[She gestures around the room.]

I've been tracking down as many tools and machines as I can, so if you have any vehicles or weapons or... anything else, I guess! Anything that needs fixing, you can bring it to me and I'll make it good as new.

You can find me down in the Willful Machine; just look for the sign! And if you have any questions, just let me know!

[There's another second of her smiling, and then she nods at her omen and the video ends.]

(ooc: i've set up a permanent ic contact for finding asami at her shop here!)

[She just beams about it.]

I love the name. And I know you'll do great things!

[futureinventor]

Thank you, Korra.

[She smiles very warmly.]

Hopefully now that it's open I'll have more of a routine.

[avatar_state]

[She just smiles back. This is what Asami is meant to do. Solve problems with her hands. She's not out there, fighting monsters. And, not to put too fine a point on it, not in actual danger at this time. Which, well, always a concern when you're in Jerk Pthumerian Exile. It's funny, really. She knows how capable Asami is, but...you never quite stop worrying. But seeing her happy helps. Tremendously.]

Which means more time together, I hope. And still perfectly happy to be your...what's the term...

[She snaps her fingers a few times before pointing.]

Greasy primate!

But! We could start regular date nights now. If you want.

[ Mako knows how hard she's been working on this—saw the shop in its beginning stages, all dust and chaos—and seeing it come to life, again because Asami can do literally anything she puts her mind to?

Pretty great.

Which isn't gonna stop him from being a shit about it. ]

What, you're not doing some big ribbon-cutting this time? I'm sure we could find some kind of useless president if we looked hard enough.

It looks great.

[futureinventor]

Thanks Mako! Honestly I don't think I'd have it in me to do a ribbon-cutting.

[Plus in this place she doesn't think it's a great idea to get a bunch of people gathered in one small place.]

[arclightning]

So I should just... stop writing this letter to the useless president, then? Inviting him? He was gonna make an awkward speech.

Incredible timing, since I’ve just dragged my poor bike out of the ocean. I haven’t tried to crank it up yet, but I get the feeling it’s going to need at least a tune up, before anything else.

[futureinventor]

Sounds perfect! Bring it down and I'll take a look at it.

Seriously? A babe working on cars. That's fucking hot.

I just showed up here and I've got a 2009 Dodge Challenger that came along for the ride.

I don't know if it needs work done to like run or blood or some shit while I'm here but it's still got about half a tank if you want to take a look at it.

[futureinventor]

[Wow.]

Sure, I can take a look.

[strikefirster]

Great. Just don't get any of your make up or lipstick or any other girly shit on it.

It's gotta stay manly. You get me?

[lightthedarkness]

Oh! That's awesome! Does it have to be big machines or can it be little stuff like toasters or what not? Cause I would LOVE for our rice cooker to work again.

[futureinventor]

I could definitely take a look! I can't guarantee I can fix anything, but I can probably fix most things!

[lightthedarkness]

You're amazing. Thank you for at least trying!

[swellter]

Could you reverse engineer a piece of hardware?

[futureinventor]

Depends on what type of hardware it is.

[swellter]

Temperature regulation. It heats up and cools down. Usually, someone else takes care of it, but there's no one here.

[ And he only knows how to take care of the superficial maintenance. He has no idea how what to do if something actually breaks. ]

[verrostet]

Do you have experience with precision machinery like analog watches?

[futureinventor]

Most of my experience is with vehicles and engines, but I have the tools for smaller machines as well.

[verrostet]

I see... I have a couple pieces which require monthly maintenance. So they aren't broken, per se — I was only hoping to find someone with a better head for mechanical engineering who might be able to competently take apart, clean, and reassemble them. Would that type of work interest you?

[He's replying through voice because, well, corruption. Text may have been better though, as there's a more flat tone to his voice.]

Weeell, I didn't know you were an engineer on top of being a hero. My best buddy's also got awesome machine building skills and sometimes it's like he's talking another language, but the final result is always super cool.

[futureinventor]

I'd love to talk to him sometime! There's a lot of technology here that I've never seen before; maybe we could trade notes.

[azurestar]

Yeah, it looks like a total mishmash of tech from all sorts of times and worlds. Pretty cool. Me and Hunk — that's my best friend — are from somewhere with lots of super high tech stuff like space ships and portals and all that.

Miss Sato, my name is Raleigh Becket.

I'm a friend of Mako's.

Are you aware of the recent network post made by the paleblood Paul Atreides?

I'm sorry, I'm not.
