I'm sure all this talk about about the new Duel Links system is exciting for a lot of people but I can't help but wonder how all this stuff about the VR tech is going to make my job a nightmare. Not like OOPARTS doesn't have enough stuff to worry about...

That said, we're always hiring. We have reasonable hours, a well-stocked R&D division, and low overhead. Inquire with me or Niyo if you're interested. We've seen a pretty reasonable growth in non-action roles in the past few months.

Speaking of, though, with the resurgence of D-Wheels I've finished refitting the garage - if you've got your own D-Wheels, stock 'em there. If you don't have one, there's some old SpecInv models I've finished refitting and tuning up. If you need someone to look at your stuff, let me know, I learned from Shiyoko and she's the best in the biz, so I know what I'm doing with these machines.

...Can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something... oh well.

Ugh, that reminds me I should really be gettin' my D-Wheel tuned back up, if this is a thing again now... I feel like 'm behind th' curve on it.

[becomeanwarrior]

If you need someone to look at it, I can take a look-see. Nice thing about a lot of the older designs is they don't take a whole lot to get going again. I find the newer models to be a little more finicky.

[3_s33s_what]

I might bring it by. It still runs, but it's basically not been maintained as well as it should.

[becomeanwarrior]

Oh, yeah, that shouldn't take much time at all, then. Maybe an afternoon?

I'll let you have the look-at and tune-up as a freebie. If I need to replace any parts, that's on your checkbook. Sound fair, Sanshi?

[3_s33s_what]

Yeah, that's fair. Maybe tomorrow then.

[becomeanwarrior]

Sounds like a plan, I'll pencil you in.

And like I mentioned down there, if you want anything more than a tune-up and replacement parts, you're gonna have to go to Shiyoko for it.

Mostly cause I'm pretty sure she'd take a bat to my knees if I cut into D-Wheel modwork now that the market for it's coming back alive.

[underworldgates]

Mrs. N and M said I'm to working with you. And you can't say no.

[becomeanwarrior]

I- uh.

Okay.

Did they say where?

[underworldgates]

At OOPARTS.

Ook.

But at my discretion since I report only to them.

[becomeanwarrior]

I...I'll put you down as a 'Reserve Officer' then.

Right. Uh. Sorry, I'm blanking on your name? This is just general paperwork stuff.

[underworldgates]

Raisekai Yamimaru.

Black Ops Agent of BV.

The only known person to forcibly escape The World of Darkness. The Goat Instrumentality Guy Darkness.

[becomeanwarrior]

...Ah, that's why. Well, then.

Haita Onni. Director. Pleased to be making your acquaintance, then.

[underworldgates]

Same.

Also, I hope you like hotdogs.

[blackrthanblack]

Are you inching on on my territory.

[becomeanwarrior]

Mostly just for the OOPARTS crew. And it's mostly just tune-ups to get them ready in case we need to use them for a chase.

They want anything better than replacement parts they're gonna have to come to you.

[blackrthanblack]

Okay, good, I won't be giving you a backbreaker this time.

[becomeanwarrior]

Believe me, I'm the last person that wants to fuck with your bread and butter now that the market's been opened up. At worst I assume I'll be handling your overflow. Or custom equipment requests from you directly, but I assume you can handle most of those.

[blackrthanblack]

... Are you nervous?

[becomeanwarrior]

...A little? Not really sure why. I've had a weird day. My brain's on the fritz.

[hardcorebestcore]

NERD

WE TALK

[becomeanwarrior]

Oh gods. Hello, Trena, what's the issue?

[hardcorebestcore]

WHERE ARE YOU RIGHT NOW

[becomeanwarrior]

The OOPARTS office. [ Opening his windows before he sends this message, because he's pretty sure of what comes next. ]

[hardcorebestcore]

You're wise. There's a shrill screech and then a scramble as Trena comes into view.

... she's in her 'detective' gear, with cowl and a deer stalker hat.

"ALRIGHT NERD

WHAT'S UP

WHY DO GEO AND SUGURU WORK FOR YOU

WHY IS KIKO NOT LOOKING LIKE SHE'S GONNA EVERYTHING IF ONE MORE BAD THING HAPPENS TO HER

WHY IS SERENA REIJI'S BROTHER

WHY IS YOUR HAIRCUT SO DUMB"

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Trena you realize he has open office hours, yes. You don't have to do this every time. ] ...My haircut's the same as it always been...? I thought it looked fine... And I... uh. Don't understand. Geo's been working here a while. Kiko's never been that on edge... and, hasn't Serena always been Akaba's brother? [ He's looking confused, like he's got a headache already. ]
