You should really charge.

[purple_pliers]

Why? I don't have anything to spend money on.

[height_rule]

Free things make people want to take advantage.

[purple_pliers]

But if they try, it'll just give me more things to play with!

[not_an_xman]

Weapons huh? Could you look at this one? It's been firing bullets.

[purple_pliers]

Um. I can look. Is it not... supposed to fire bullets?

[not_an_xman]

Nope! It's supposed to shoot out this little flag that says 'BANG!'. Yeah, it's an oldie but a goldie!

[purple_pliers]

...that sounds like a camp thing, so no guarantees.

[examining the gun?]

Can you make stuff run better even if it's not broken?

[purple_pliers]

I can certainly try!

[anddoubleclick]

[have a laptop then] I've been here so long it's really starting to fall behind the curve.

[purple_pliers]

Hm. I can't do a lot about the actual programming. I don't know much about that. But I can soup up the cooling system so it doesn't overheat... that should make it run a little better, anyway.

Mechanical things?

[purple_pliers]

Yeah! I'm an inventor.

[ugonnagtwrenchd]

Really? Can I take a peek?

[purple_pliers]

Sure! What did you want to see?

[throwawrench]

[...ping]

Oh? You fix mechanical things, then, girl? That's interesting! Haha, I'll have to keep you in mind, if anyone comes complaining to me about fixing things that I've broken! Is it enjoyable for you, then, fixing things?

[purple_pliers]

Yes, it is.

[throwawrench]

Haha, that's good, then, that it's fun for you! I mean, I would also be interesting if you didn't enjoy it, because then I could take things apart and you would have to put them back together and it would be fun for me and sad for you. But it's also interesting if it's fun for you! Would it be your first choice, if you wanted something fun? Or is it just that everything else is more boring?

[purple_pliers]

Oh, well, my first choice would be working on a new invention, most of the time. But today I felt like doing this instead.

I'm Violet. What's your name?
