BASEMENT WORKSHOP open

[heart_wrenching]

[ She hadn't wasted any time in getting her work room looking lived-in (or rather: worked-in). Glossy posters of human anatomy, and diagrams of gait analysis- walking, running, more exotic motions- infographics about industrial alloys and so on. In the corner sits a comfortable-yet-hideous-looking floral couch, currently with blankets and pillows clearly arranged for sleeping. From all the scrap littered around, it looks like she's been dumpster-diving at stark tech.

At her work desk, she's hunched over a set of metal leg braces, from the size it's impossible NOT to guess who they're for. ]

Library, even opener

[heart_wrenching]

[ Libraries are QUIET PLACES for QUIET STUDYING. That's why Winry is swearing at these books on robotics AS QUIETLY AS POSSIBLE. ]


WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN. WHY WOULD A LEG HAVE A KERNEL??? WHAT DOES IT NEED MEMORY FOR!? THE FUTURE MAKES NO GOD DAMN SENSE.

JUNKYARD, Jim and others

[heart_wrenching]

[ A CAPTAIN AND A MECHANIC and maybe other people WALK INTO A JUNK YARD and begin assembling a pile of hoverbike parts. ]


You can help me out with the a-gravs, right? I mean- the diagrams make sense, but I have no idea how they ACTUALLY work.

[overemotionally]

Yeah, sure. They're standard where I'm from. You couldn't find an actual motorcycle without anti-grav unless you went really looking for it.

[He's following her around the junk yard, looking for parts himself.]

Here, all they have are straight motorcycles without anti-grav.

[heart_wrenching]

I've seen hoverbikes around. Enough that you'd think they'd have more part...

[ When Tex had sent the Vor off to find her a mechanic, she hadn't expected Winry. Young and yet already immersed in some strange technological sphere that Tex doesn't quite grasp. It lacks the explosives and ballistics she prefers.

She stares at the displays plastered on the walls with a raised brow as she heads to the person of interest in the room. The project is hardly surprising and Tex merely scans over the braces before focusing on Winry. ]

How long is that going to keep you busy?

[heart_wrenching]

Huh? Tex? I've just started on it. Why, need me to look at something?

[failureisntachoice]

Yeah, I've got a hardware problem. Some of the joints on my armor are getting stiff, do you have time to look at them or should I be handling it myself?

[grumbling]

[ after butting heads with edward elric on his arrival, mccoy had promised he'd meet with his "doctor" at some point. today is that day. hell, he's even going to be on his best behaviour, which is rare for a doctor who enjoys speaking his mind and hasn't coped well with this world's technology.

he raps his knuckles against the door before opening it, poking his head in. ]

Anyone home?

[heart_wrenching]

[ SHE ALMOST THROWS HER CHAIR STANDING UP SO FAST ]


I CAN DO IT!!

[heart_wrenching]

[ There there. Ed headbutts everyone. The girl at the desk looks about his age, and she turns to look, blinking at the new face. ]


Ah- hi there.

[overemotionally]

I think those were built with tech brought in from imPorts. In my reality at least, there weren't hoverbikes in 2016.

[He bends down to lift a couple of pieces of metal up in the hopes of finding something useful underneath but nope. He drops it back into place.]

You're picking up on this stuff pretty quick.

[heart_wrenching]

You think so? I always did wanna play around with automobiles, but they're not super common in the boonies just yet.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She'll take a step back there, just in case that chair tries to fly towards her. ]

Promise not to break any pieces by fumbling with excitement? I don't need to look for replacements.

[heart_wrenching]

Me? Never!
