Video 01; a horrible, horrible tragedy!

[ Minato has an extremely important announcement to make. He's very upset by this turn of events because that music player - and his headphones, while we're at it - are very precious to him. Therefore, actually talking to many people at once on this device seems absolutely necessary! So he breaks his record of not broadcasting messages publically for this.

... anyone who watched the videos Yu Narukami posted the other day might recognize Minato as one of several who fell victim to teleporter accidents and wound up in the pool, though he's considerably dryer here. ]

My mp3 player got dunked in a pool the other day. I've been letting it dry since. However, it seems to be shorted out altogether.

... does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to get it fixed? Or... is there anyone here good with electronics?

I'd be very grateful for any assistance. [ pause ] For those I haven't met, my name is Minato Arisato.

ETA:
[ A short while later, he appends a picture of the mp3 player in question as well additional details as they come up. ]

It's from the early 2000s on Earth.
My sister has a working model, if one needs to be seen.

You have rice at the apartment don't you?

[ He nods. ] That's what I've been letting it dry in.

I know there are many repair shops in the Cancer district, but I'm not sure if they'll repair it so much as..."improve" it. Your best bet would be to see if anyone around here is from your relative time period can fix it, first, before heading there.

Not that Cancer is a bad district...I just figured it'd be a fair warning to give.

Edited 2012-10-09 02:13 (UTC)

"Improvement" is definitely what I'd worry about there. If it gets changed too much, I might not be able to connect it to my laptop.

I'll add some information to the original post. Thank you.

Why did you go swimming with your mp3 player in the first place?

The teleportor between apartment buildings malfunctioned and dropped me in the pool.

[ And he's not going to tell her about the videos, if he can help it. If they were face to face, he'd give her such a look, though. ]

If someone needs to see a working model, mine's the same brand.

Edited 2012-10-09 02:47 (UTC)

I'll add that to the main post.

... thank you, Minako.

Oh. That's misfortunate.

I'm sorry, but electronics aren't one of my strong points, or I would help you Minato-san.

Ah - no, it's all right. Thank you for the thought all the same, Saori-san.

[ He offers a small smile meant to be reassuring. Really - she shouldn't be worrying about his electronics. ]

[She saw that video the other day, Minato.

She just... didn't want to mention it to you because you are moe moe on your own.]

I'm no good with electronics at all really, but if you end up needing a new one then I'll totes come with you, 'kay? I could do with a shopping spree or something.

[ Oh no! There goes his tough and burly and gruff reputation! ]

Oh - hello, Jun. I will let you know, though even if it gets repaired, I will probably still look around.

[ Just in case. A back-up music player seems really necessary now!]

I come from a city that has technology decades ahead of the early 21st century. Have you ever heard of Academy City? That city of guts is where this Sogiita Gunha hails from.

If you want then I could take a look at your mp3 player, given my background I should be able to help you.

[No wait...]

I mean I'm not great with technology, but I'm no slouch either. If Railgun was here she would be way better.

In future you should use something else as bait while fishing, though, since electronics could harm the fish.

[ Minato shakes his head at the mention of 'Academy City.' He has absolutely no idea where or what that is...

But he gives a bit of a flat look at the remark about fishing. ]

If I were going to fish, I'd visit the river instead of a swimming pool.

... I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with Academy City. Could you tell me a little more about it?

[ He wants to know what qualifies this guy to try to repair something... Sogiita Gunha doesn't sound super confident... ]

If you happen to be unable to fix the device, might I be able to take the broken one off your hands?

[ :C But that... that would be like giving up a friend! ]

Thank you, but I think I would like to keep it, even if it remains broken.

[Aw, man, now he feels bad...]

Sorry, I just came to this city so I have no clue what's where. The handy watch gives a ton of information, have you tried looking through it? [He gives his head a scratch.]

I know of someone who's pretty good with tech-y stuff, but I'm not too sure if he's good at fixing things. Maybe he'd know? I can introduce him to you if you'd like. [But then again, Voyeur's probably going to take money with requests like this. He makes a mental note to go through his things for any useful things to give to his friend later.]

Oh, my name's Akihisa Yoshii. Nice to meet you!

[ Minato nods at the question about the watch; he has looked through it and made a note of where he should go look for a replacement or someone to repair it, but he just... thought he ought to ask here first. ]

I'd appreciate that. Thank you. And it's nice to meet you, too, Yoshii-san.

Ah -- welcome to Hinoto-ri? I hope you have been settling in all right.

I have some experience with repairing data systems, this is early information age technology right? Kept in flash memory or is it disk based?

I believe so. Flash memory.

I don't think I've ever seen you without that thing. I'm sure there has to be someone here who can fix it, though.

I hope so. I've had it for years.

[ and with the amount of times he's moved, that's a pretty big deal. ]

I can fix it. Some of the files might be slightly corrupted, though.

You can?

I have everything backed up on my laptop, so file can be replaced.
