2nd Miracle (Dual Post)

Hrm. Does anybody know where I might be able to find any spare parts? Mostly hoping for something tech-wise. I've found a few places on my own, but if anyone knows a consistent place I could scavenge parts from, I would highly appreciate it.

As well, I shall state that if anyone wishes to, I am available for dueling.

The fastest and most potentially illegal route would be your average junkyard, babe. Parts are "essentially" free, but lack of clear selection is yer first major problem. And the cops if the Junkyard staff/owner is a particular dick.

Next option is if ya know someone who works with machines, if they can generally spare some of their unneeded scrap and shit and let ya have it. Not consistent and not clear selection, but more on the down-low and less jail time.

Alternatively, if you do commissions and shit for people, you can always keep excess parts to yer self, but that's monetary disadvantage.

Last option is to build it yerself, but that takes some work with metalworking. And proficiency with blowtorches, machines, and just banging shit together.

Or ya could always buy new parts, toots.

...A junkyard would be particularly troubling, wouldn't it.

...I suppose the current person who I'd be able to ask that of would be you, Shiyoko-senpai.. owing to your work on D-Wheels and the like.. i-if you have any spare parts, that is.

...I don't know about commissions. My inspiration comes and goes, and the stuff I usually like to work on probably wouldn't be of interest to anyone.

I don't have any metalworking experience. Most of the stuff I've done myself has been disassembling and reassembling machines my family already had, and I don't think I'd be able to really do that here too much.

Possibly, but there's always the worry I'm spending too much for myself.

Not if you know the right people and have the right rep.

I have some depots of shit that I keep around. Depends on what you know.

Well, commissions really help on a lot of shit and keep a cash flow coming in.

Take metal-shop class? Learn? You're kinda a newbie, aren'tcha?

Got to spend some time, babe.

I suppose. Neither of which I think I do, at this point.

Mostly electronics, some general machine knowledge... I've worked with moving parts before, but not in mass.

...Not sure what I could really commission for, Shiyoko-senpai.

...I might. When it comes to assembling, reassembling, and working with actual put-together paprts, I tend to do pretty well. Everything else isn't so great. I've tinkered a lot, but big inventions tend to be hard to grasp, for me.

I suppose. I just worry if I do spend too much.

::I imagine a particular pink pervert can be found perched on a park bench, pondering what pink perverts ponder.::

::Perhaps his ill-fitting clothing breaks her out of her daze. Or perhaps she's simply so exhausted from lugging all that around that she plops down on the same bench. Or maybe she just hovers around, lost in her own world, until Erland finally takes note. Up to you.::

*Seemingly wandering a bit around the park. Definitely tired. Plopping down on the same bench as Erland for a moment, deciding to take a break.

...Then ends up noticing the ill-fitting clothing and general oddness of Erland. Snapping her out of her daze a bit.*

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, hello there...!

::Erland raises a hand in greeting, having looked over when she plopped down.::

Hey.

You do seem to be carrying quite the load... lost in shopping mode, perhaps?

*She smiles, amused at Erland's question.*

Hahah, a bit! I decided to go shopping for supplies, I had a desire to start working on more stuff again a day or so ago, so I'm stocking up.
