compnetwork | 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.

[... Well, he's bored anyway.]

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.

No, I clearly got into the top school for technology in the country because I have no idea how to fix electronics.

Of course I can fix it.

Good. At least you're smart enough to do that. That's promising.

[ Right. Because he totally should have known that from exactly one text's worth of interaction. Minato may be perceptive, but he's definitely not psychic... Still, aside from sighing to himself and opting not to go with any scathing sarcasm, he keeps any reaction to a minimum. ]

I will keep that in mind for future reference.

But... which country? And what is your name?

[ He's not going to trust his mp3 player to a smart ass jerk whose name he doesn't even know, after all. ]

[It's okay he's just an asshole, Minato. You've dealt with worse. ~~Except not on the same level.~~]

Japan. I went to Tokyo Institute of Technology. My name is Naoya.

[ Well... he'll just keep on dealing. ]

It's nice to meet you, Naoya-san.

Are you also from the twenty-first century, then?

That's right. The year was 2009 at home.

I see. It was March 2010 for me.

It should be relatively simple to fix your MP3 player then, since we're from close time periods.

Yeah. It's a few years old, anyway.

Where should I bring it?

Pisces 7-05.

Thank you.
