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?

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.

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

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

Oh. That's misfortunate.

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

[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.

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.

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

The rice didn't work?

[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!

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 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.

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

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