_{[Hey, meatship, there's a werewolf taking apart a car engine in your sensorium.]}

Oooh, hey, a car engine!

[Greet]
[Greet in confusion]
[Ignore]
[TAKE A FOURTH OPTION]

>[Greet.]

_{[Tony looks up.]}

Oh, hey. How's it goin'?

Doing all right. You?

[Reply]
[Reply and keep working at the same time]
[Keep working and try not to pay attention to the cheerful blonde girl]
[TAKE A FOURTH OPTION]

>[Reply and keep working.]

Oh, not much... just keepin' myself busy and reminding myself how to keep a car workin'.

_{[He wipes at his hands with a greasy rag and then leans over the engine again, making a few adjustments.]}

Yourself?

Nice. I always liked robots better than cars, and I think my brothers were afraid I'd take the car apart for spare parts, but sometimes it's fun to just fix something as opposed to building it.

[Robots?]
[How do you like anything better than cars?]
[... you kinda ramble, don't you?]
[TAKE A FOURTH OPTION]

>[Robots?]

...robots? Really?

Um, yeah. I mean, putting one together is only a little more complex than a car's engine. It's programming that's the hard part.

[Are you from ~the future~?]
[... or maybe just a little crazy.]
[Options A and B]
[TAKE A FOURTH OPTION]

> [Are you from ~the future~?]

...are you from the future or something? 'Cause I don't know that much about robots.

Depends on when your version of the present is, I think. ... and whether or not we're from alternate universes, because every other 2010 I've come across doesn't have magic. Which is odd.

[So wait, 2010?]
[... magic and robots? At the same time? What kind of crazy world are you from, anyway?]
[And now you're just making things up. :|]
[TAKE A FOURTH OPTION]

> [So wait, 2010?]

2010? I'm from like... 2009 or something. And there's magic. Don't know anything about robots, though. I mean, we have 'em, they're just... not very good robots.

Well, yeah, I mean, if you're talking about those little hoover-y robots... [tiny wince and a shrug] Mine are better. Not that it takes much.

... what d'you mean, 'like... 2009 or something'? [Tiny, horrible imitation of Plays is tiny and horrible.]

[Please don't try to imitate me again. Ever.]
[... what?]
[Reply but keep working, because it avoids most of the awkward]
[TAKE A FOURTH OPTION]

>
[Please don't try to imitate me again. Ever.]

_[Winces.]

Man, don't try to imitate me again. Ever.

Sorry, I've never been any good at accents... especially not American ones. There's a reason I work backstage instead of in the spotlight.

... question still stands, though.

[Which question?]
[... backstage where? There's no theatre on the meatship!]
[Where are you from, then, if not America?]
[TAKE A FOURTH OPTION]

Sweet car, dude.

>[Greet]
>[Feel guilty ~~for stealing his girlfriend~~ for some unknown reason]
>[Ask him if he shouldn't still be in the Medbay]
>[Drop something]

>[Drop something.]

_{[Tony is apparently startled by Paco's sudden appearance and he jumps, slamming his head into the hood of the car and dropping the socket wrench he was using to tighten down a bolt onto the ground with a clatter. He curses under his breath and then nods at Paco with a wince.]}

_Ow...

Hey, dude.

[Sympathetic wince]

Ouch. My skull remembers what that feels like. Aside from head injuries, 'sup?

>[Brush it off]
>[Talk cars]
>[Talk ~*~feelings~*~]
>[Talk about another subject]

>[Talk cars.]

_{[He rubs the back of his head ruefully as he stoops to pick up the wrench.]}

Oh, not much, man. Just switching some engine parts out so I can stay in practice. Never know when this stuff'll come in handy, y'know?

Yeah, I get you. Always a good thing to stay in practice. Mind if I look over your shoulder?

>[Sure]
>[Get your own]
>[Want to help?]
>[Shoo Paco out]

>[Want to help?]

_{[Tony grins and motions him over.]}

Sure thing, man. Wanna help?

[Paco grins back]

Sure! Just don't let me fall in, my balance is still out of whack.

>[Toss Paco a wrench]
>[Ask how Paco's arm is doing]
>[Playfully shove Paco]
>[Pretend like nothing's different]

>[Ask how Paco's arm is doing]

Oh, right, sure!

_{[Tony pauses. He's seen people come back from fights maimed before, so he doesn't feel quite as awkward when he asks.]}

How's the arm doin'?

...I'm on really good painkillers, but it itches like crazy.

>[Sympathize]
>[Acknowledge and change the subject]
>[Share ancedotes]
>[Offer to help ~*~heal~*~ him. This is a Dating Sim Meme, after all]

[~~Offer to help- no.~~ Sympathize.]

Sorry to hear that, dude. Anything I can do for you, you lemme know.

_{[Unfortunately, he cannot return lost limbs.]}

I've been told that the nerd herd is already on building me a prosthetic, so I'm good there. [grins] Wouldn't say no to awesome werewolf stories, though.

>[Share werewolf stories of awesomeness]
>[Share fake werewolf stories of awesomeness]
>[Get to work on the car]
>[Shove playfully]
