[Eighty Ninth Cord] : [Usual locks | open to DATS/friendlies ] [Video]

[drunkkareoke]

[Haku appears to be in an office, but not her office. It's actually Megakat Auto in Neon, where she's been moonlighting for a while thanks to Rei's current illness and Paulo's recent one. She has her VR Visor on, and seems to be adjusting something on her arm panel.]

Well... that was another data freeze come and gone. Those things really are

So Rei is the only one working at Megakat?

[drunkkareoke]

Hm? Oh, no, no. Normally it's Rei, Douglas, Paulo and Rock. But Rei has been sick since last month, and Paulo started feeling ill last week, so it's just been Douglas and Rock in her garage.

[headtilt]

Why?

[onisensei]

Why are we still calling it that after all the shit that bastard put us through?

[drunkkareoke]

... I--...

I don't really know... I asked Rei to keep it that way when everything first happened. Back then, I guess I was still... protecting him. I thought, 'If he changes his mind, if he apologizes for what happened and tries to come back, I don't want to have erased everything he worked so hard for'.

Now... it seems a little late to change it, don't you think? It's Megakat Auto, for better or worse.

... More help, what?

[Haku might hear this in double, since Douglas occasionally has his comm on while he works (it makes a nice background noise that isn't shop sounds).]

[drunkkareoke]

GYAAAH--!

[naturally she wasn't expecting that, so she screams and throws her D-Comm in the air, causing the video to shut off.]

[needsmorepower]

[Not like he was looking at it, but he gets to hear the scream in double time. Fun.]

You're going to break someone's hearing screeching like that, and I don't do those kind of repairs.

[drunkkareoke]

[at least the comm is off now? No more doubled sound.]

W-well you shouldn't scare people like that!

[getting up to go hunt for him now. The garage is small, it really shouldn't be hard to find him.]

We're you not aware that your boss has been ill for over a month?

[upgradedtohero]

I thought it was just something going around, but if she's been sick for a while, she really should see someone about it. I hope it's nothing serious.

[drunkkareoke]

I thought so, too...

[she doesn't want to mention what Onizuka's partner thinks it is, just in case they're wrong, but she agrees about going to the doctor.]

I'm going to see if Dart can help me get her to a physican.

[upgradedtohero]

Okay.

At least Paulo is doing better, though, so that's some good news.

[drunkkareoke]

Mhm. His boyfriend was kind enough to keep me updated.

I promise, I'll be out of your hair once one of them is back.
