[ hello, city. there is a slightly confused, slightly sheepish looking guy in a drivesuit peering at his communicator from what looks like a dull, undecorated mac apartment.

spoilers: it is a dull, undecorated mac apartment. ]

The pamphlet said there was a network on this thing, so I hope this is broadcasting right. [ he rubs at the back of his head with a gloved hand. ] Does anyone have any power tools on hand? That's apparently not something that comes with a complimentary apartment, and I need some to get the suit off.

Do you require someone to bring the appropriate equipment to you, or are you mobile?

[exhort]

[ ... so that's new and different. ]

I can be mobile. But I might need directions.

video; i literally just came back from watching this movie for the second time

[promised_victory]

[Forgive her, she's a knight. She's used to helping people in and out of armor and she thinks he is also a knight of some kind due to that suit.]

You have to use power tools to remove your armor, sir?

permavid!!

[exhort]

Yeah, it's bolted together. And part of it's sort of clipped to my spine.

[biwinning]

Well, I'd thay I could help you, if I could. What ith that suit for anyway?

permavid

[exhort]

It's a drivesuit, for piloting Jaegers.

[aggressiveapathy]

So. Are you new, sexier Iron Man or something?

permavid because i am the laziest

[exhort]

[ excuse him while he looks a little deer in the headlights. ]

Am I the new what?

[ CONVENIENTLY IGNORING THAT SEXY BIT. ]

video;

[withamask]

I don't have any on me, but there should be a shop near the MAC.

[ A pause. ]

Or there's always Repairman.

permavid!!

[exhort]

Repairman? You're pulling my leg with that one, right?

[boobwindow]

[ costumed heroine alert. ]

If you can't get it off with tools, I could probably rip it off for you.

permavid

[exhort]

[ he's not sure what's weirder, the cape or the boobwindow. ]

Uh, I'd rather keep it all in one piece, if possible.

[ also this thing is connected to his nervous system. THAT COULD BE BAD. ]

permavid;

[kegflipped]

[ In which a costumed Troy (aka The Repairman) is holding a large drill. He pulls the trigger a couple of times. Vrr, vrrr! ]

You rang?

threadjacking out of love

[aggressiveapathy]

So if you mess up and make his face all gross and stuff, is that gonna that make you or him turn to a life of evil and crime.

[exhort]

[ he laughs a little. ]

I take it you're the Repairman?

voice;

[topslug]

That was a pretty impressive suit. [ Laughing? Yako might be, just a little. ]

It looks like you were able to get some assistance. For now -- welcome to the City, Mr. Becket. If you need anything else, I'll be happy to provide what I can.

permavoice

[exhort]

Yeah, it's pretty neat.

Thanks for the offer, but right now I think I'm just going to get some pizza and do some reading.

[ figure out what this place is all about. ]

permavid.

[klutziness]

Dude I am all over that. I can be over in like three minutes to get that off if you tell me where you are.

[exhort]

I'm in that apartment building. The MAC, I think it's called?

voice; slight Eastern European accent

[superspeeds]

That would seem quite the dilemma.

permavoice

[exhort]

It would be, if there weren't so many people around willing to help out.

[allbloodyhail]

[Spike waves a hand, cigarette smoke tracing the air as he does so. His background is a rather nice apartment--there might also be a cat or two wandering behind him occasionally.]

You get it off yet? [Not that he'd help, he's more curious than anything.]

permavid

[exhort]

[ we'll just conveniently place this after raleigh's gotten the suit off. ]

Yeah, I'm good.

video, Peter's comm;

[incywincyhero]

[Here's a guy looking at Raleigh's drivesuit with a mixture of intense gadget-lust and sympathetic bemusement.]

Looks cool, I'll give you that. But there's no way that's practical.

[If Raleigh recognizes accents, he'll peg him as a California boy.]

permavid

[exhort]

[ raleigh's left shoulder pops up in a small shrug. ]

Takes a while to get on, but it lets me do my job. It all evens out, I think.

[sufferably]

Did someone bolt you into it?

_{( because that just seems like the worst idea ever. )}

[exhort]

Yep, they did.

[ come on, bones, it's a great idea. ]

Voice

[liverletdie]

What sort of tools are you looking for specifically, and what kind of suit takes tools to get it off?

[ He knows, but come on. ]

permavoice

[exhort]

It's called a drivesuit; it's used to pilot Jaegers. And I think a heavy duty screwdriver should work.

video;

[glowsferatu]

We all must suffer for fashion, mustn't we? [ even if she thinks that outfit's a little on the hideous side. ] I hope you have something to wear once that's gone.

permavid

[exhort]

[ oh. that's something he didn't think about. ]

There's an undersuit, but that's about it.

video

[acrossyourpath]

I'm going to guess you just came in from something important.

permavideo

[exhort]

You could say that.

video;

[deformer]

...whoa.

That suit is really cool!

[Sorry, was there a request or something in there? Must've missed it.]

permavid

[exhort]

Yeah, it is pretty cool looking, isn't it?
