[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.]

[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!

Doctors won't be able to fix it.

[Oh god, every sentence she has to speak is just killing her inside.]

"Are you an artificial intelligence? If that is the case this is my specialty then."

A TV? What kind of TV?

[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.

[Nano still has problems admitting this sort of thing out loud, so instead she just nods slowly. She can't bring herself to look Ruri in the eye yet.]

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

What kind...?

[Nano glances back behind her again.]

Um... it's very new.

Action;

[all_wound_up]

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

O-oh... thank you.

[ 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?

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[The spell didn't work? That's really odd that it failed like that. Yukiko is completely clueless as to what else to do except try and get Nano to the hospital. Now that she knows where it is.

Then she notices Nano start to cry. Oh gods, this is really eating her from the inside isn't it?]

D-Don't worry Nano-chan. I'm sure everything will be ok, we just need to go to the hospital and get it looked at.

[Action]

[all_wound_up]

N-no...! We can't! Not there, please!

[Nano stays firmly rooted to the sidewalk, now fully shaking and convulsing out of sheer worry. Going to the hospital would only serve to complicate things further.]

Um... Pisces, 10-02.

[electricyousei]

Ruri just stares her blank deadpan stare.

"I see. Show me the system that isn't working properly."

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.]

Action

[all_wound_up]

...It's my arm. It just... stopped moving earlier.

[She keeps rubbing at it, forcing herself to remain calm.]

Action;

[all_wound_up]

I... I can't.

[Nano's voice lowers to a whisper.]

I don't know what's wrong with it.

[second_destiny]

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

[all_wound_up]

Yes, that!

Action;

[greatergone]

I see.

[Which meant pondering about it. He was known for being good at thinking outside the box but this was entirely new.]

...you could tie it up in a harness around your neck. That way, people will think your arm is broken until you can get it fixed. It won't stand out that way.

[second_destiny]

How big? Also, is it a malfunction or did something actually break? Like, is the screen cracked?

Action;

[all_wound_up]

...Do you know how to fix it?

[Nano frowns, cradling her bad arm with her good one.]

[all_wound_up]

No, nothing's cracked. I'm not really sure what's wrong.

[second_destiny]

Probably an electrical problem, then. I should be able to fix that.

Action;

[greatergone]

I'm no member of the Earth Caste. I can only repair my own weapons and armor but not an unfamiliar system. But I do know a machine worshiper who could complete the task.

But.....

[He'd probably worship her. Kais just left that there since it'd be a little awkward.]

[doesasordered]

[Uuuuuh]

Y-Your arm... Are you certain?

"I'm going to have to see your access port then. Possibly run a diagnostic of your operating system to see if its hardware or software based."
