Fifty-Eighth Theory [Voice/Action]

[i_speak_softly]

Open Voice

The person who made the little wind-up dragon... can I have another?

Action for Nezumi

[The reason Don needs another dragon is because he took the first one apart to make a camerabot for someone he doesn't even know. He hopes this was a good idea.]

[He heads to building three, floor one, room five, as he was told, and knocks five times.]

Action for Isamu

[After making that delivery, Don circles southward to the home of one Isamu Nitta. Allegedly some other people live here too, but Don has never met them. Hopefully, if they exist, they won't mind too much that a giant turtle is climbing in their window. Isamu did say to surprise him.]

Action for Buffy

[Around sundown, Don makes his way to House 7. He knocks here too, though he doesn't count how many times. He has a question to ask...]

((Housemates of the people Don is looking for are welcome to tag in, and of course the Voice part is open to anyone pinged by clockwork draconids.))

... Fujiko?

[His tone is doubtful. Fujiko certainly has her talents, but Don has never known engineering to be one of them.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[She can tinker with traps and clocks and laser systems... and flat-out rocket science. But no, she can't free-all design things at whim, the blue-prints must come from elsewhere. She can tamper with things and make adjustments though! In true mad scientist's assistant fashion.]

Yup! Do you still have the parts to the other one?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don still doesn't know that Fujiko is responsible for the bear trap that wrecked Raph's shell.]

Erm... not exactly.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[Oops! She did try to repair it though and nurse him back to health!]

Oh, then I'm really not sure I could make another. What happened to it? [She KNOWS she can't make another because she won't be able to take it apart to figure out what happened to it.]

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[You have interesting nursing technique, Fujiko.]

I... took it apart?

[voice]

[doubleppk]

[She's even more ridiculous in canon. You'd be amazed how often it happens too... considering the assassin thing.]

Then you still have the parts, don't you?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

I used them for something else.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Damn it... I don't know that I have enough gears for something like that.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

You used them all?

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Mm-hm! And I probably should have made blueprints, but I was just tinkering.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Oh... [How disappointing.] It was nice while I had it, at least.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Sorry. Maybe someone else can design another.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[After talking to Hiccup for a few moments -]

Fujiko, are you sure that was your dragon?

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Hum... Maybe?

Did someone else make one?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Yes...

[The question is, did Fujiko really make one? He doesn't need to say it, though; she's smart enough to figure it out.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

That's great! Do they have blueprints?

[No no Don, the question is whether both her and him knowing it wasn't her makes her stop. It does not.]

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[Fujiko.]

I'll ask.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Goodie! Then we can both make one!

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

[Very tersely:] There are no blueprints.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Damn it. So he made his the same way I did, just tinkering around?

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Sounds like it.

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Pity, I was thinking we could rebuild them and then make them fight like battle bots.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Only if someone wants to build remote controls.

[As is, the dragons only fly around aimlessly.]

[voice]

[doubleppk]

Hm, I think you'd have to get Japan for that. But I could try to get some chips for that from the Malnosso.

[voice]

[i_speak_softly]

Are you going on a mission?
