8th Screw [Accidental Video]

[Hey there, Hinoto-Ri. There's a certain hardworking robot girl that's just about hit her limit tonight, and thanks to having accidentally turned on the broadcasting function of her watch while she was taking it off to do some work, you all get to see just what she's been dealing with ever since half the city disappeared.]

Ahhhhhh... I don't understand any of this! What am I supposed to do?

[Nano is loudly whining to herself while sitting at a desk. There are papers stacked and scattered everywhere haphazardly, along with several calculators sitting in various locations on the desk, paper streaming out of them like ticker tape at a parade. Other receipts are messily strewn about the desk and the room, and even more go flying as Nano pounds the desk in frustration before flopping forward onto it.]

I can't run a business! What was I thinking?

Is everything alright?

[She's trying very hard not to sound amused. She's... failing at that.]

I have no idea what I'm doing!

[WEH SAVE HER FROM THE SCARY MATHS]

Edited 2013-02-16 04:25 (UTC)

[It is so hard not to just laugh at her. So very hard.]

Calm down, it can't be that bad...

What are you having trouble with? Specifically, I mean.

Um... um...

[She's just sort of glancing around at paper. Paper everywhere.]

It's hard to know where to start...

Okay, I think I understand. You mentioned running a business, right? Are you just trying to balance the books?

[Asem pauses. He can tell that she's frustrated. Still, he can at least mitigate the embarrassment.]

Um...hey. You, uh...accidentally left this on. I think.

Asem-san!

[Nano quickly picks up the watch, bringing it closer to her face. She doesn't even seem embarrassed so much as panicky and desperate.]

Do you know how to manage a business?

Business? Um...that's one of the electives I didn't take in high school. And I've got no firsthand experience.

Neither do I... that's why I'm having so much trouble. I hired someone to take over as manager, but he's one of the ones who disappeared.

...Oh.

Wait, you hired only one manager? Usually places have a bunch of shift managers.

If you can't run a business, they why are you there trying to do so? Didn't you know what you were capable of before you attempted it?

Because the store's manager is missing and this marketplace is from my world. I think I have to do the job until he gets back.

Oh, okay, so you want to help out? That makes sense!

But if you're having trouble, maybe you should get someone to help? Or maybe you could download a program to help you manage things better!

A program?

[She hadn't thought of that.]

You mean something to do all the complicated math for me?

[NANO YOU ALREADY HAVE A CALCULATOR IN YOUR BRAIN JUST USE IT]

Right! You could install the program and it could help you do all the math or taxes or accounting that you need to do while the owner is away, and afterwards, if you don't need it anymore, you could just delete from your system so it's not taking up space!!

...Do you need help?

[She certainly looks distressed enough!]

Yes! Please!

Where is your store? I'll drop by and see what I can do.

[She has experience dealing with paperwork, but she also doesn't know a whole lot about running a store... But it couldn't help to try.]

It's called the Ichiban Market, in the Virgo ward.

Okay, I'll be right there.

[...And sure enough, after some time spent searching, she finally shows up! Just ignore the fact that she is slightly out of breath from running around the city looking.]

Ah... H-hello?

[Oh hey that girl he ran into.]

Not panicking helps.

[Oh, that dashing robot with the scarf and the cool sunglasses! It's a good thing he can't see her blushing. She doesn't remember exactly what they talked about, just that he had her pretty flustered at the time.]

Blues! Do you know how to do any of this?

[Man he remembers, and it was just awkward.]

No, not really. But it looks like you've got a lot of help showing up at least?

[He's made for shooting things. Not math.]

Yes, thank goodness for that.

Yep, lots of nice folks around here.

... Just what kind of business are you running anyway? Or trying to run, at least.
