8th Screw [Accidental Video]

[all_wound_up]

[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?

Tapper's? What's Tapper's?

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

It's a restaurant in the Cancer ward that serves root beer and hamburgers. Do you know Vanellope at all?

[Video]

[second_destiny]

No, I don't know anyone with that name. Are they the owner?

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

Yes, that's right. She's just a little girl, but she works very hard!

It's no trouble.

[She'll hang up and head over. It's not like she has anything better to do when the city is this quiet. Knock knock?]

[eyewillprotect]

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.]

[all_wound_up]

C-come in...!

[The door is indeed open, and the place is a complete wreck. Filing cabinets half-open, papers and receipts everywhere, and a swirly-eyed Nano sitting at the desk trying to make sense of it all.]

[all_wound_up]

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

[Video]

[second_destiny]

A little girl? Just how old is she?

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

She couldn't be much older than eight or nine.

[Video]

[second_destiny]

...They seriously let someone that young run a business?

[prototype_blues]

[Oh hey that girl he ran into.]

Not panicking helps.

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

She's very industrious for her age. I was surprised too. She isn't doing it all by herself, though.

[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?

[Video]

[second_destiny]

Well, that's good to hear. Who's she got helping her?

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

More helper demons. They're twins named Cu Chulainn and Tam Lin.

[Video]

[second_destiny]

...Where are all these demons coming from? I swear I've never seen one during the day before.

[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.]

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

I'm not sure.

[text]

[all_wound_up]

Yes, thank goodness for that.

[text]

[prototype_blues]

Yep, lots of nice folks around here.

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

[text]

[all_wound_up]

It's a grocery store.

[text]

[prototype_blues]

So like, you sell fruits and vegetables and all that stuff?

[He... doesn't eat human food, so he barely knows much about Grocery Stores.

And it's not like Light, when he lived with him, was the best about eating like a normal person.]

[text]

[all_wound_up]

That's right. Food and kitchen appliances.
