So,
If any of you have belongings that ended up broken or shattered due to the issue with the gravity? Engine? Gravity engine? Whatever it is.
I can fix it, so long as I can hold or carry it.

Doesn't really matter what it is, just let me know and I can mend it for you.

It ain't an engine. The rings get gravity by spinnin' - called centrifugal force. Like if you swing a yo yo around, the yo yo keeps the string taught, pullin to the outside? It's like that.

What do you mean y'can fix it?

[atome]

I suppose? I appreciate the explanation. We never had anything so advanced when I'm from, but I don't doubt this is what humans can do at some point.

I mean that I can fix it.
I think that a demonstration would be easier than outright explaining.
Because if I say it, it might be hard to understand.

[donkeyballs]

It's simpler than y' think it is - the tricky thing is gettin' them spinnin'. Once they start, there ain't much to slow 'em down. Not until it all breaks, anyway.

Can you fix a communicator?

[Because that might be something that Amos should know.]

[atome]

So something could have gotten stuck, then?

Yes, so long as you have all of its parts.

[donkeyballs]

Somethin' went wrong. And went wrong enough to stop something with a lot of inertia.

Once we get out there, we should be able t' get a decent idea of what we're workin' with.


Huh. Alright, good to know. It ain't mine, but - I gotta ask. If you ain't used to technology like this.... your uh - ability to fix things. It ain't exactly just learning how to build a clock, is it?

[atome]

I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help with something like that, but I'm glad that there are people here who can.

No, nothing like that.
It's
magick.

[donkeyballs]

... Yeah.

I thought you might say that.

Not sure what it means that I can't even bring myself to not believe it, anymore.

[setpoint]

Are you some sort of mechanic or engineer?

[atome]

No?

[awkward]

I could just
demonstrate if you want?

[setpoint]

[What.]

Okay.

[Peter pulls up the video feed hesitantly. He pauses, then gives a nervous wave.]

Hello. It's me.

Peter.

[Pause.]

Well, uh. Here goes.

[He has a small pile of broken pieces of a mug in his hand, handled gently as to not cut himself.

Abruptly, glowing purple runes appear around him with a voice whispering.

MANTOROK PARGON MAGORMOR PARGON PARGON PARGON ANTORBOK

The mug mends itself together, becoming whole once again.]

I can... do that with anything I can hold or carry. But if it's an engine or something I can't lift, I can't fix it.

I hope. That explains. A little bit. [He lowers his gaze, looking hesitant.]

[wait a minute this guy could potentially be useful???]

i dont need anything fixed right now but how do you fix things to begin with

can you fix broken gems

[atome]

[DIS BITCH]

Go away

[mirrortide]

what why i havent done anything i was just asking you a question

[atome]

You have a poor memory then!

[mirrortide]

i have great memory thanks i can show you anything ive seen since i was made down to the finest details

[atome]

Then you have bloody terrible manners. You don't seem to care at all about anything, like suggesting you'd drown me.

[mirrortide]

only in self defense

[wingstosee]

oh right! you can totally do magic. haha
fixing things is totally useful??
honestly, i'm a little jealous. all i could really do back home was hurt things.

text; un: perdu

[atome]

Well, there are other things. Still, I thought this would be the most useful.

Do you know magick then?

[wingstosee]

sort of? i can't really do it anymore.
i figured part of that was coming someplace new, but
honestly part of it is that god wouldn't want to help me with it anymore? haha.
which, like. good riddance honestly?
screw that guy.

[atome]

Do you believe in him?

[wingstosee]

who, god?
i mean. yes??
it's kind of hard not to when he talks to you.

[atome]

He's actually talked to you.
And just how useless is he?

[bu773rfly]

[can you now.]

The only limitation is that you can hold or carry it? Not method of assembly or type of object? So it's not an acquired skill.

Can you only restore things to a prior state, or can you improve the function of newly-built things?
