[is coming down the stairs; sees the suitcase, sees Souji, and does the math]

... ah...

[hardlyboy]

[reddens >///> and fidgets with her hands a little]

A-ah, thank you. I, ah-- mostly wanted to inform you that she's a welcome presence here even though I've not formally introduced her.

[isthisourchance]

[socute]

Okay, gotcha. I'd like it if you introduced us some time, though! Have you, um, been together long?

[hardlyboy]

Only a few months now, officially, I believe. I'll most certainly introduce her to you in the future.

[isthisourchance]

Cool! I guess we really haven't talked much in a while, have we? You'd think it'd be easier considering how small camp is...

[hardlyboy]

Indeed-- though I attribute some of that to my work schedule. With Camp's internet and cell phone networks down, I'm forced to find some other method of production.

[isthisourchance]

Whoa, are they? I don't use my laptop much, so I guess I hadn't noticed.

[hardlyboy]

It appears to be an unresolved, camp-wide issue. At the very least, I would have liked our cell phones to remain online-- we cannot contact the outside world, but at least we can contact each other in the event of an emergency.

[isthisourchance]

Yeah, that's true. [flipping her own cell phone out to check it out] Yep, zero bars. I wonder if there's some other way we can keep in touch...

[hardlyboy]

I suppose, given the right materials I might be able to make some two-way handheld transceivers... but I'm not certain if they're anywhere available in Camp.

[isthisourchance]

Oh, more of your tinkering stuff? That'd be cool! Have you checked the camp store?

[hardlyboy]

[nods]

My preliminary materials-- that is, the standard set of tools were purchased there.

[isthisourchance]

Ah, gotcha. But you'd still need parts for the walkie-talkies themselves?

[hardlyboy]

Correct. Even for a simplified civilian-model, I would still need the right hardware; I may have enough wiring, but I don't have speakers or antennae at my immediate disposal.

[isthisourchance]

Hmm... You don't suppose Yosuke left his headphones behind when he left?

[hardlyboy]

I doubt he leaves them behind when he sleeps.

However, here tends to be a high turnover rate of laptops... it's possible someone may have a spare lying around that they are no longer using-- a laptop speaker might just work.
