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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude. C'mon. Like I'd ever.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Taps the knee again]

Magic word, Hurricane.

Channel your inner AlcheME! or something.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Uh.

[A pause.]

Illuminate?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Now say it like you're casting a spell. With flare, Hurricane. With flare!

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Like he's casting a spell:]

Illuminate.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Recorded and set.

Enjoy that invocation word]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And just so you know, double tap will turn off the light.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Can I try it now?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

But of course.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Illuminate?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[It flickers as if to say "you call that an invocation???"

But then comes to full brightness within a few seconds.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...thanks, dude.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Looks very pleased with himself]

Just the two upgrades. If you require others, you know where to find me.
