[[Journal]]: Working

[youngest_megami]

So I'm slowly starting to tear apart the equipment I made for detecting and destroying curses.

I did keep plans, at least. I don't know how well anyone else would follow them, but I can at least rebuild it in a day or so if I need to.

I need to build something new. I'm not sure what, though.

Skuld,

Just wondering about that gadget project I requested a while ago. Thought enough yet?

Batman.

[youngest_megami]

Batman!

I've had a few ideas and think that a morphable multitool could be pretty useful. I've got a few preliminary ideas, and I've started working on a .. well, it's hard to call it a design since it's neutral form won't look like much at all.

[terry_the_bat]

Schway. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

By the way, how am I paying you for this?

[youngest_megami]

... Pay?

*This may sound like something that Skuld hadn't thought about...*

[terry_the_bat]

...uh, yeah. I gotta do something for you since you're doing this for me, right?

[youngest_megami]

Well... I'll think about that! Honestly, I asked the question so I could have someone come up with something challenging for me to do! The perfection of the choice is probably enough payment for me!

But we'll see! What's ice-cream like in your world?

[terry_the_bat]

I get where you're coming from, but I still don't like leaving debts unpaid.

Pretty good, I think. I mean, we got a lot of flavors and all, and they're tasty...

[youngest_megami]

That's cool then. Uhm, call it two gallons in pints, no two pints the same flavor, and we'll be even. But don't worry about it till I get the first two revisions out the door, alright? Usually things settle down and get stable at 'Mark 3' or 'Mark 4'.

And the Skuld Hyper-Accelerated Zero-Adjustment Multitool will probably need a Mark 3 before I had it over.

Hey! Should I just call it the 'S.H.A.Z.A.M.'? I like the sound of that!

[terry_the_bat]

Schway. I'll have to give you the ice cream all at once, though, cause otherwise...

'S.H.A.Z.A.M.?' Huh.

[youngest_megami]

Cause otherwise, melty. It's okay!

I'm almost done with a prototype! I'll be fiddling with it this weekend, if you want to meet me somewhere, we can give it a quick runthrough, and see if how it works, okay?

[terry_the_bat]

Great, we've got a deal, then.

Uh, sure. Where? And, before we discuss that -- how likely is it to explode? I mean, no offense or anything, I just wanna make sure.

[youngest_megami]

Hmn. I can get you to a portal to the temple I live in in Japan if you want. It's a bit out of the way.
My sisters might be around, but if they are, they'll understand if I say I'm doing work.

And.. I can make it non-explosive. I wouldn't suggest depending on it for life-and death things. It's another tool, but it's going to be designed to do a multitude of things. That means it may end up being a bit more fragile than most things!

[terry_the_bat]

Sounds like a plan.

Unfortunately, most my job is life or death situations, but I'll keep that in mind.
