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?

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!

...I guess it's okay as long as they don't try to stir up trouble.

Wow...

[She glances around at the mess.]

It looks like you've been busy. And.... mostly unproductive.

[She clearly came just in time.]

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

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]

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

I'm sure it'll be taken care of quickly if that happens.

[Action]

[all_wound_up]

I'm sorry...

[She looks embarrassed and ashamed that she can't handle this on her own.]

I tried my best, really!

[Video]

[second_destiny]

If it's me taking care of it, I'll get it done. I won't fail.

[prototype_blues]

Interesting.

Oh if you need any help with anything else, that isn't paperwork, let me know? If you need it that is.

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

I know. You're always very reliable, Asem-san.

[Video]

[second_destiny]

I'm glad you think so. That's what I want to be, after all.

[text]

[all_wound_up]

That's very kind of you. Thank you, Blues!

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

Have you ever thought about trying to get a job with Hinoto-Ri's police?

[Video]

[second_destiny]

Huh? I'm...with the police already. I thought you knew.

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

No, I didn't! I suppose that's why you seem so suited for it.

[Video] > [Action]

[eyewillprotect]

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?

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

Please come in!

[She's in the back office, so Aoi would have gotten a nice little self-tour of the store while she was looking. It's actually a pretty nice Japanese style market, with all sorts of ingredients common to Asian cooking as well as household appliances like rice cookers and miniature refrigerators.]

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

[It's a pleasant little place, but she tries not to dwell in the front for too long. She quickly finds her way into the back.]

There you are--

How can I help?

[Action]

[all_wound_up]

Do you know anything about accounting?

[Receipts. Receipts everywhere. And ledger paper.]

[Video]

[genkibot]

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!!

Re: [Action]

[poorfueleconomy]

[She smiles gently.]

It's alright. I think we can still salvage this. First lets clean up and try to organize everything.

It's too hard to work in a mess like this.

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

[Frowning--]

A little, from checking over the budget for my school. I may be able to do something, however.

[She will move to look over Nano's shoulder at some of the papers, trying to make sense of them.]

[Video]

[all_wound_up]

There's no computer in the office, though.

[Action]

[all_wound_up]

All right.

[So she says, but then Nano looks around at the mess and is paralyzed with confusion again.]

...But where do we start?

[Action]

[all_wound_up]

Anything would be helpful at this point.

[Currently, she's looking at receipts. How much was purchased by customers in the course of the past week, what the store itself purchased to keep in stock, things like that.]

[Video]

[genkibot]

...But aren't you a robot yourself? Couldn't you download the program to your own operating system? Then you could physically handle all the problems yourself!
