[Action - Ichiban Market, Virgo District]

[It's been a few days since the market from home appeared in Hinoto-Ri, and Nano's taking full advantage of the convenience and familiarity of the location.  She spends a good few hours shopping around for various ingredients and household necessities, filling up her shopping bags with soy sauce, daikon radish, leeks, miso, rice, and all sorts of other ingredients common to traditional Japanese meals.  Feeling very at ease here in a place that's almost second nature to her, she hums cheerily to herself while she's collecting everything.

Unfortunately, after she's paid for everything and is carrying everything out in a large brown paper bag, her nice casual shopping trip takes a turn for the worse.  Right after emerging from the store, and completely without warning, Nano's left arm falls completely limp.  She lets out a surprised yell as the grocery bag goes tumbling from her arms, its contents spilling out all over the sidewalk.  Immediately recognizing something as deeply wrong, Nano glances around quickly and starts to scramble to pick everything up with her one good arm.]

[Video]

[Eventually Nano makes it home, and after no small amount of privately worrying and panicking, she turns on the COMP to reach out for some help.  It's not help she particularly wants to ask for, but she has no idea what's wrong or how to fix it on her own.  She's doing her best to hide the fact that one arm is completely out of commission, aiming the shot at her face only.]

U-um... I hate to impose, but is there anyone out there who knows a lot about fixing things?  My, um...

[She glances around the room briefly before returning her gaze to the camera.]

My television is broken!

[N-Nano-chan, what is going on here? She's just making her way through back to Scorpio when she notices the girl trying to pick things up with one hand.]

What happened? Are you alright?

[Action]

[all_wound_up]

Y-Yukiko-san...!

[Oh no, this is bad. This is really bad. What is she going to say? It isn't as if she can hide what's going on with her arm.]

Ah, y-yes, everything is all right!

[Even though it clearly isn't.]

[Action]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[Because this is the face of someone who is worried for you. Because your arm is not moving like it died.]

It doesn't look like it.

[She's crouching down to help pick up the rest of the food when she notices the object isn't moving.]

Your arm...

[Action]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano desperately does her best to get all the food picked up and back into the bag with only one functioning arm before Yukiko notices the other, but of course this turns out to be impossible. And when she notices, the robot girl flinches back a bit, grabbing at the arm with her remaining good limb.]

A-ah... it's nothing, really!

"What kind of television? Really most of my experience is with computer systems and AIs but I've done some work with computer monitors and broadcasters."

Video

[all_wound_up]

It's, um... it's a pretty advanced model.

Video

[electricyousei]

"If you can bring it to the Nadesico I can have a look at it. Its a bit out of my training but I can at least get Omoikane to do a full diagnostic."

Video

[all_wound_up]

I... don't think I can get it there myself.

[doesasordered]

[Oh god that looks... bad. Nik was nearby, coming into the store when he sees Nano trying to pick up everything with one hand. He'll come over to help.]

Nano, are you alright?

action;

[all_wound_up]

N-Nikolai-san...!

[Nano whirls around to face the man, panic clearly written all across her face as she flails about with one arm.]

Y-yes, I'm fine!

action;

[doesasordered]

[Uuuuuh]

Y-Your arm... Are you certain?

action;

[all_wound_up]

I... I think I just need to rest.

Video

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

I know about mechanical repair.

...it sounds urgent, so I'll be right over, okay?

Video

[all_wound_up]

Please hurry!

[Just sort of dropping all pretense at this point. She's worried herself into a bit of a frenzy.]

Action (also sorry I'm so late I lost this notif at some point)

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

[You don't have to tell Latooni twice. She's knocking at Nano's apartment door within a few minutes.]

Action (no problem)

[all_wound_up]

[As Nano opens the door, it should be immediately obvious to Latooni that there is something wrong with her arm, as it simply hangs there limply at her side. There is a guilty look on the little robot's face to accompany it.]

[Video]

[second_destiny]

A TV? What kind of TV?

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

What kind...?

[Nano glances back behind her again.]

Um... it's very new.

[second_destiny]

So it's 3-- No, wait. Widescreen? HD?

Action;

[greatergone]

[Of course, there was one four fingered gauntlet reaching down to help. It wasn't much but, oh well.]

You should try to be more careful.

Action;

[all_wound_up]

[Well, at least she can be marginally less panicked around Kais...]

O-oh... thank you.

Action;

[greatergone]

Don't thank me. Instead, you should find a way to fix your grasping issue.

[Because even that looks a little weird. An arm just...hanging there.]

[ text ] no idea how he'll react to her being a robot but feel free to reject haha

[technomaturgist]

[ Oh, you're that girl who wished him luck. Get a techpriest. ]

I know about fixing things.

...I don't know much about how televisions work, but it should be fine.

Where are you?

Video

[all_wound_up]

Um... Pisces, 10-02.

text -> action; wow i'm nearly a week late, tag-gate still open?

[technomaturgist]

On my way.

[ It wouldn't take him much time to arrive - they're in the same building.

Have a techpriest knock-knock-knockin' on your door, Nano. ]
