[Action; in and around 452 Stone Street]

[For anyone living on, hanging out near, or walking down Stone Street today - there is something happening on at 452 Stone Street that you may wish to investigate.  The windows to the house are open, and the sound of a small explosion rings through the air, followed by the surprised and panicked scream of a

[Explosions? Screaming? Smoke? THIS IS A JOB FOR A GUARDIAN. Especially when he lives right on the other side from the street from you.]

[Gat comes jogging out of the house, and stands on his side of the street to assess what's going on ... and then runs across the street once traffic's clear.]

Do you need assistance, miss?

[moemoetentacles]

[COUGH COUGH]

N-nope, everything's fine!

[nanocerancowboy]

[He can totally see that smoke billowing out the window there. He looks skeptical.]

... There ain't a fire in th' house, is there?

[moemoetentacles]

No, nothing's on fire! Just a small explosion. Nothing to worry about.

[nanocerancowboy]

[You aren't getting rid of him that easy!]

What exploded?

[moemoetentacles]

The TV.

[nanocerancowboy]

[And now he's scratching the side of his head.]

... How in th' hell did that happen?

[moemoetentacles]

Beats me! I think Mayfield just doesn't take enough pride in its craftsmanship.

Keywords, man. Keywords.

[nanocerancowboy]

I don't know much about th' tech from this world, so I reckon that might be so.

[moemoetentacles]

But how am I supposed to play video games, then?

*d'oh!*

[nanocerancowboy]

[It takes a second for Gat to register what she's talking about; they go by different names in Gurhal and Coral, and sometimes use differing technology, but there's some vintage systems out there ...]

So th' TV set exploded when you tried hookin' up a video game system? ... That sounds like somethin' an electrician's gotta look into.

I reckon' Mayfield's power grid ain't that well suited to electronics from other worlds. Or time periods, I s'pose.

[moemoetentacles]

I hate this stupid town.

[nanocerancowboy]

'Least th' TV can be replaced. Your gamin' console alright?

[moemoetentacles]

Yeah, I think so. Not that it's gonna do me much good without a TV.

[nanocerancowboy]

True, though if somethin' caused th' TV to explode you might wanna make sure no damage was done to any other electronics. Or appliances in th' house, for that matter.

[moemoetentacles]

I don't use any of that other stuff anyway.
