[ softly with a lot of feeling: my snakes. ]

I'll be alright.

[ A small and tired smile. ]

If you need help, it'd be nice to get my mind off of recent events.

[ Give them something to do, please. ]

[unsync]

[ Endangered species... ]

Right, uh. Phoenix told me if I could ask anyone, it should be you.

[ He produces... eye (1)! From his pocket. It looks like Tama but with a grey iris, and looks kind of busted in the shorted out way. ]

Do you think you could fix this?

[becomemod]

[ They'll look at the eye then lean to look at it more closely. ]

What is it made out of? I might be able to, but I'll need to know more about it.

[unsync]

Just typical body-safe metals and components. It's not my usual AI-Ball and it's lacking some stuff, so I think the internal wiring shouldn't be as hard -- as long as I have sight, I'm okay.

[ Aka, it's not some kind of weird fantasy-world material. Fuck laser eyes, said Ryuki ICly. Though. ]

Would it be possible to change the, "power"? At all?

[becomemod]

[ They don't know how to do eye surgery. ]

Hmm... It should be doable. [ The eye itself can be fixed. ]

The energy source of the eye, or your power "laser eyes"? I can't do anything about what power you received.

[unsync]

It has a normal battery.

[ His eye in fact has some kind of battery. I guess. Well there are battery-powered prosthetics so it's probably something similar. ]

Nothing at all? Even though there's those team power swap items on Amazoom...

[becomemod]

[ I've never seen a powered eyeball. This is the future. ]

Your team power is something Mouse is sharing with you. Your personal power is only your own.

[unsync]

[ Look yeah his eye is a bit futuristic but there are like battery-powered arms, hearts, legs. I'm sure we'll get there!! ]

Wait, why is it an Amazoom item to change it around then?

[becomemod]

Capitalism?

[ Will he let them hold onto the eye to examine it more closely? ]

I'm not sure how it worked out that way, but it's the system we have.

[unsync]

[ Yeah Snake can hold it, turn it over. Whatever. They could pop it open right in front of him and it'd be okay. As far as Ryuki is concerned, this eye is not Tama, so he's not particularly defensive about it especially if Snake can help him here. ]

So no shot of me being able to reinstall an X-ray function?

[ He didn't like. Mourn the loss of his usual skillset THAT much before but. Having to manually feel around Reigen's body and discover his missing heart really did a number on him. ]

[becomemod]

[ They're starting to head upstairs, motioning for Ryuki to join them. ]

You'd have to give me blueprints to that.

[ You know what, Ryuki is extremely valid for this. I would also prefer to have X-ray vision instead of listening to blood slosh around a chest. ]

[unsync]

[ Shuffles after. ]

They'd probably be in the Psync room in Pewter's files. Could I get those as "sentimental items"?

[ The chain of events of discovery about Reigen's state of body were so funny, what the fuck. ]

[becomemod]

[ Truly a cut to commercial break moment. ]

Hmm... maybe. Though I can't guarantee I'd have a means of putting software into your eye.

[ Up the elevator, past the kitchen, and the extremely well lit living room, up the spiral stair case to their room.

Their room is a mess. There are two black couches, a desk, papers all over the floor for some reason. A glass bookshelf that's full of something, cardboard boxes stacked in front of it. A bed shoved into a corner that doesn't look like it's been touched, perhaps ever, and a whiteboard that has notes.

They open up one of the cardboard boxes and pull out a tool kit and begin repairs. ]

[unsync]

Could I ask if you could give it a shot anyway? I just don't... want to waste any more time like last time. Not again.

[ Imagine I just re-break the eye on this cyoa, I'd just die. ]

Though I guess if I could get some kind of handheld device, that would work fine too. Um... where did Ms. Sigrun get that fingerprinting kit from?

[ He does not comment on the mess that is this room. Some people have circumstances! And Snake absolutely has circumstances lately. He just stands here in a clean spot on the floor. ]

[becomemod]

I'll do my best.

[ Just come back if you break it. ]

Hmm... If Janeway was able to get that medical device, and you know of a handheld device, maybe you can use your tokens to buy it?

[ They're fussing with the eyeball and fixing it to the best of their ability. ]

I'm actually not sure where it came from. A special delivery?

[unsync]

[ How do I keep reconvening on the same topic by pure accident across multiple audience threads at the same time, this keeps happening. ]

So... Amazoom?

[becomemod]

That's my best guess. I don't have access to Amazoom purchases.

[ While they're working on the eye, there's a brief flash of gold and black around their wrist. ]

[unsync]

[ Them's good colours. ]

Why... not? Isn't it a public service?

[becomemod]

[ Yup. ]

We don't get the tokens you guys get.

I can order clothes on it, if I wanted to.

[unsync]

So it's like we're on a different market?

[ PRIME SERVICES ]

[becomemod]

Yes.

You'd think being here for this long we'd be granted the privilege.

[ Amazoom basic. ]

[unsync]

How long have you been here? I thought you guys said you were also pretty new to the whole thing...

[becomemod]

We've been here for six months before you. I wasn't a "hero" at home, I was just your regular detective.

[ They continue fixing the eyeball. ]

[unsync]

W-wait -- really?! Then you'd get it, how screwed up this entire thing is!

[ Like, obviously everyone does, but More So if you're with the law. ]

You haven't been able to coordinate with the local police at all?

[becomemod]

I know this system is ridiculous. It shouldn't work like this. I know that. We all know that. This is what we have.

[ Grimaces. ]

We can a bit. That's why the areas of interest are taped off every Friday.
