Video 01; a horrible, horrible tragedy!

[fools_journey]

[ 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.

"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.

If worst comes to, I can attempt to look at it- I'm from before your time by a decade, but I've adapted well enough I'd like to think.

But, it would take me a significant amount of time, due to my work schedule- just giving as many options as I can.

[fools_journey]

That is a very kind offer. Thank you. However, I'd rather not cause any inconvenience, if you are busy.

[putonagoodshow]

It's not a problem- I should be getting some hired help soon, I just don't want to inconvenience you in case you find someone quicker at repairwork.

[tl;dr I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'D GET IMPATIENT AND AM TRYING TO COVER MY BASES]

Oh - good luck with getting help.
And it's all right. I wouldn't mind waiting if I had to.

By the way, what is your name? So I can contact you in case nothing else works out.

[ Minato is pretty sure he's seen this guy on the network, but he just... doesn't remember his name. ]

Ideo Hazama. I'm one of the Seven here; I just happen to be the one who utilizes the network the most frequently. I suppose Brainstorm and I are almost like the moderators?

[Because nobody would let Orpheus do it, Q and Ciel have enough work to do as it is, and...less said of Minerva and the network, the better.]

[Owls are a perfect method of communication, I'll have you know.]

[Yes ma'am...]

[fools_journey]

I see. Pleased to meet you, Hazama-san. And thank you for all your hard work, as well.
