[When the video switches on accidentally, it's because the person has dropped his 'berry down by a tree in the biodome. It's propped up nearly perfectly - funny how these things work - to catch Bucky in the frame. He's moved several feet away from the camera, wearing workout clothes, sweatpants and a tanktop with sneakers. Not very stylish, but

[Shit. He doesn't have any proper tools to do a proper tune up or repair. He'd have to look into make some mediocre ones or find someone who does.] I'm not an expert, but I've done mechanic work before. I can get that looked in an attempt to figure out what the problem is.

If you want to take a look at it, I can come down. It's been acting up ever since I got here, just... not like this specifically.

I wouldn't mind. I can't do a lot about it without the proper tools, but I'm sure I can help figure out what might be causing the problem. Just come by whenever you want. You know I'll always let you in. [That'swhatshesaid.]

Sure, better work on this now rather than later. I'll be down in about fifteen, have to shower first. [Lololol.]

Alright. I'll see what things I can grab in the meantime. [Expect a lot of broken parts and what not.]

Right. I'll see you in a bit. [It takes him about twenty minutes to grab a quick shower and put on some real clothes, but then he makes his way to Dick's room, also carrying some scraps of sheet and a bottle of vodka (it's the closest thing he has to rubbing alcohol). Knock knock.]

[Dick has the Suite 8 TV again. It's been slightly dismantled already. All the glass is piled together, and happily none of it is in Dick's hand for the use of cutting himself.] Come in.

[He heads inside, closing the door behind him, and glances curiously at the partially dismantled TV.] What's with the taking stuff apart?

I need equipment. I've been working without it for months, and it's about time I did something more then doing absolutely nothing. [He glance up at the other. He's sitting on the floor, surrounded with...well just looks like junk since they're all parts and bits from the television set. And maybe some things from the Rec Room.]

But enough of that, we should try to get that arm checked. What am I allowed to do and not do?

Ah, well. I would prefer if you didn't take it completely apart, and I'd rather not power it down completely unless it's absolutely necessary. It's like. Well, like cutting off a limb for a normal person. [His flesh hand goes to the underside of the metal arm and fiddles with a couple of things before he can slide it off.]

I can deal with that. I wouldn't know how to put it together by myself. [That might or might not be a lie.] But, I have some items I can use as makeshift tools. Can you tell me what happened that couldn't be explained by the feed itself? Wai-you can feel things even with it detached?

[Bucky slides the prosthetic over, and it wiggles its fingers almost teasingly at Dick.] I've got a neural implant in my brain that communicates with the sensors in the arm. It's not directly integrated into my nervous system, there was too much nerve damage in the stump. So, yeah, I can still "feel" some things with it detached, if you can call it feeling. As for what happened... It just kind of locked up, and I got a kind of sharp feedback, but it passed fairly quickly.

Dick pokes the palm of the hand with the eraser end of a pencil out of curiosity.] Victor would be rather helpful here. He'd be an export with this type of things. Oh well.
Locked up? Is it from the force perhaps? [Purses his lips. He runs a hand through his hair. Oh, it's starting to get long. Oh well. He seems rather absorbed with Bucky's arm though, his attention not wavering a bit as he seems to give it a thorough look over without actually opening any parts yet.]

It could be stress or possibly a lack of proper lubrication. I haven't really been able to do more than just clean it with vodka or water, and of course I haven't been able to go in for a tune up with the SHIELD tech guys.
