Two for one!

1) [It's early afternoon, and crashing sounds are coming out of room 319. The door is wide open, but it may not be patently obvious what's going on - Catherine bought herself some tools after remembering her aptitude for making repairs and is taking apart her Pip-Boy to make a few upgrades. Also she is swearing loudly.]

Fucking goddamn it all to hell, I knew I should've bought a flashlight!



2) [Later in the evening, Catherine remembered some more - though what, she's not saying immediately. She's taken to pacing the first and third floors, taking the stairs, walking around, but freezing up at doors before scurrying backwards.]

Outside. Outside. Oh god oh god oh god I'm really outside...

[Hoppin' on in all curious.]

Can Mokona help?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Don't happen to have something you can use as a light, do you?

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm.... Nope!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Wait you might be small enough...

Here, take this wrench. There's a fifth screw holding the screen on, but I can't get the nut out. Looks like this. Once you get it undone, you can just bat at it and it'll come off.

[Mokona slithers into the indicated space. There is much clanking and rattling.]

Uwaa~ It smells so weird!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Haha... if this has been here long as I thought... whoops.

Sorry about that! I'll, uh. Wash you off when you're done?

[manjuumagic.livejournal.com]

Okay! Maybe Mokona is "stain resistant"! That would be cool!

[...KLONK]

Mokona did it!

[Ruby saw her do this a couple of times before deciding to approach her.]

Are you okay?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

What the hell do you think! Who the hell is so calm about being out here!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

You mean being stuck here without any memories? I admit it's not fun, but it isn't all bad since we have a bunch of things provided for us.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

No, out here! Out here!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

Out...here? I still don't get what you mean.

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

...outside. You. Have absolutely no problems. Being outside.

[Rozalin was trying to relax and watch some TV, but Catherine was making that a bit difficult. She stomped next door to get her neighbor to be quiet.]

What in the world is that awful racket you are making?! It is impossible to do anything else with that noise!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

I am trying to get some repairs done. Didn't think anyone else would be here.

[The Pip-Boy is opened up, there's parts strewn all across the table, and her phone is in pieces. Suddenly, she turns to Rozalin and offers a scoped revolver.]

Hey, can you see if something else is keeping this screen on? I think I got all the screws, but I can't see well enough with this mirror through the scope.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

[One minute Rozalin is pissed off and the next baffled as her angry tone was ignored and the gun is all but shoved at her.]

You want me to handle a weapon?!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

I took the bullets out. Had it on me when I showed up. Been using the scope with the mirror to get a good look inside. This feels loose, so you're probably looking for something just past this lip, like a screw or something.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

Do I look as if I am knowledgeable in how to handle one of these things?

[Even as she says that, she almost naturally reached in and hits a small latch.]

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Huh? What was-

[She reached in and felt the now dangling latch as a smile crept on her face.]

Ohhhoho! Cle-ver! And by the looks of things? Yeah, I'd say you're pretty good.

[One tiny screwdriver in and POP! Off comes the screen.]

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

*Well, the ROOMIE is definitely interested in what all those sounds are.*

Oh hey! Roomie! Sounds like you're doin' somethin' megas interesting there. Whatchya got?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

[The Pip-Boy is still attached to her arm, and she's monopolized the table to spread out her tools and the parts she's already taken out. Her phone is also sitting next to it... similarly in pieces. Sounds like it's time to take a break... and a drink.]

Oh, hey Tsu. Trying to make a few repairs here now that I remembered something. Or... well, maybe it's not a repair. Can't say it's goin' too well.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, you remembered some megas useful stuff, huh Cat-Cat? I'm sorta envious. I mostly just gots a few little things like a birthday party I had once.

Can I help at all?

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it just mostly came back this morning. How to take things apart and fix them, upgrade them... taking the G.O.A.T., oddly enough.

Yeah, see if you can see one or two screws holding this screen on. I got it disconnected, but it's not lifting out and I can't see in there.

[lifesmegassweet.livejournal.com]

Roger! Lemme see...

*She peers very carefully at it.*

Ah! It's itty bitty, but there it is!

[survival-101.livejournal.com]

Aha! Didn't think to look over there!

[And in a few seconds, she's got the screw out, popped out the screen safely, and eyeing up the dismantled phone.]

Thanks for that. So, all you've got right now is a birthday party?
