[Hurricane, do you even sleep?

But this is probably the best distraction tactic to use on Intensity so he leaves the issue of the leg alone for the moment]

And what's this?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I stole it outta the house.

[He stole a lot of things out of the house. But this is the copy of The Magus that was in the library.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Blink at it for a few moments, turning to the pages that it was laid open to at the House.]

I see.

...

Do you think you could hold onto this copy for me?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure.

[Blinks back at him. That was an odd phrasing.]

That mean you grabbed one, too?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Angel did from the last run of the House. The last time I saw it, it was with A.

But Angel recites it from memory when stressed so it's not like I need a physical copy.

It could help you with your research. Especially now that a few more names are familiar to us.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...oh. Right, sure.

I'll hold onto this one, then.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Maybe leave it out on the paladin coffee table. Could be good reading material for the rest of them.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Don't really got a coffee table, but I can start passing it around when I'm done if you think it'll help.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Your unit seemed rather interested in getting in on all of this after the whole Liar Hell escapade, so yes.

I think the more informed they are, the better.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Kay. I'll start handing it around.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Sighs]

Now can we move on to the matter of your new leg?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ah - right. Sorry, dude.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Give him a second to fish it out from its shelf. It looks a lot like his usual leg as Intensity tried to match the look and material]

Try it on.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - sure. Gimme like half a sec.

[He plunks himself down cross-legged on the floor - digs his screwdriver out to take the old leg off.]

[He sets the screw to the side and works the leg out of the port, then sets it to the side. When he's done, he lines the new one up with the port and slides it in - wiggles the foot a little, testing.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[It works as well as any of the other legs Intensity has made him.

And with a wave of his hand, he brings the floating chair over so Hurricane can hop onto it.]

Sit. Hold your leg out.

And let me go over the new features.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh. Uh. Sure.

[He gets up off the floor - perches himself on the edge of the chair and sticks his leg out.]

Hit me, dude, what's it got?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[The floating chair rises so it's more level with Intensity's waist. And therefore he's able to show off the features easily.]

Have your phone on you? And possibly your charger?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Uh... I got my phone?

[He pulls it out and offers it over, a little sheepish.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He presses a button on the side of the knee, and the cover wheels back with a metallic sound.

Look! A USB port.

Which he is plugging into Hurricane's phone now]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...whoa.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

If the charging stops, then you'll have to charge it the old fashioned way. That is keep the leg in motion like running or something.

That should do the trick.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Thanks, dude. This's awesome.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Last trick.

I need to synch your voice command to something.

[He snaps his fingers and the whole knee lights up like a night light]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...you did it, after all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course I did.

Can't have you shopping for a new tech guy on me. My pride couldn't take the hit.
