[Action]

[War, earthquakes, rain of monsters, and then being human for a week, he had hoped that slight grinding noise he was hearing in his prosthetic arm would have been repaired. No such luck. In fact, it seems like it might have gotten a little worse. The response time seems a little slow, which isn’t good for a quick draw expert.

Which is why he finds himself at the smithy today. He tried to see what was wrong himself, but it’s a bit awkward trying to look at your own arm.] Hello, uh… is Winry here? [It seems like a long shot, but he remembers her mentioning once that she made prosthetics. Although, he's worried his might be a little more advance than what she's seen.

Later on, he’ll also be making a stop to the flower shop to check on the flowers, before hanging around the plaza for some people watching.]

I'm in.

[goldenglasses]

Ah, hello, my name is Vash. I'm not sure if you remember, but we spoke awhile go and I remember you saying you worked a bit with prosthetics? I was wondering if you could take a look at something for me.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'd be happy to!

[goldenglasses]

Well, uh, it may be a little advance, but I think something has come lose and I just can't seem to fix it on my own. [Okay, for his planet it's probably one of the most advance things left. He has no idea what Winry usually works with. At least he removed the spare gun before coming down here?]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Come in the back to my work bench. Unless you'd rather sit on the couch? The latter is more public.

[goldenglasses]

The work bench is fine. [Yes, someone is shy about all this.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Follow me.

Sorry for lack of better picture

[goldenglasses]

[And Vash follows. A little nervous, after all, he's only had one man who ever tinkered and made his arms for him. He'll start removing the leather gloves and straps he keeps around the arm as they walk. The hand looks surprisingly real, but the arm certainly does not.]

It's okay. I've seen trigun before and researched a little before this thread

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Awesome, as I had no idea how to explain it. <_< *is just making crap up as I go*

[goldenglasses]

[He sits and flexes the arm. He winces at the grinding noise again. No turning back now he guesses.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, sounds like something is out of place. What did you do?

[goldenglasses]

Well... actually I think something got lose during the war. [He used that arm to block more than he usually did.] I was going to fix it, but then there was that earthquake and I thought I heard something give a little more... and well... then there were monsters all over the place and - [I turned human for a week and had a real arm] it's just gotten worse.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Hmm, you might have multiple problems then. Do you just want this looked at, or would you like me to fashion you something new?

[goldenglasses]

Could you see if you could just fix the problem? I'm... kinda fond of this one. [Like how he can hide another gun inside of it. Sorry, but he still doesn't know anything about your skills in this area.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Sure thing.

Seeing as nothing is broken on the outside the damage shouldn't be too severe. You've probably knocked a gear loose, or something of the like. I'll be checking the whole arm just in case. If the damage is worse than I expect, I'll be able to salvage some parts from a prototype of mine.

[goldenglasses]

The whole arm? [He's a little uneasy, not use to having someone he hardly knows poking at him.] Better safe than sorry I guess.

You're working on a prototype? [Maybe this was a good idea after all. She seems to really know what she's doing.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Why of course! Working with automail is my profession, and I wouldn't give it up just because this place has limited materials! I used to have multiple, but a lot were lost during the quake because I left them in my room.

Have I ever shown you my work?

One day he'll stop being so shy and I'll use a different icon

[goldenglasses]

[Shakes his head] No, you haven't. [Small laugh] So I guess this isn't too advance for you at all.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's right up my alley. Now would you know what looks out of place? I'm not familiar with this exact construction so you may have to help me.

[goldenglasses]

[Well, there are a few gears with a crack in them that will probably need replacing but there's something else he spots right away. Also some lose screws.] Ah, these two gears here, they're out of aliment. That's probably what the grinding noise is.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'll replace those gears. The cracked and misaligned ones. The cogs are probably less than perfect because of the grinding. After I finish that I'll take a look at the upper half of your arm. The elbow joint is working fine, yes?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, it hasn't given me any problems.

Sorry you had to take apart your prototype.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'll be making plenty more in the future.

[goldenglasses]

Well, thanks anyway, I appreciate this.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No problem! It's my job, and I'm glad to finally be able to do it again.
