So I remembered some stuff just now--about time! Turns out, I can do stuff like this! [Rex transforms his entire arm into this. Thank goodness he's at least outside, or else some poor building would end up taking damage.]

That's what nanites'll do for ya! The bad part is, though, that where I'm from, everything's infected with them that apparently turn all sorts of people and stuff into giant rampaging monsters--EVOs. [Rex's arm returns to its original form, and he looks a bit more serious.]

Any of that sound familiar to anyone else? Are we gonna have to deal with nanites and EVOs on the rampage here too?

[video - locked to Jr.]

Hey, Jr.! Remember our agreement?

[He holds up a set of finished blueprints to the camera for Jr to see.]

I think it's time to start thinking about what we're actually gonna do to that thing.

Whoa.

[Jaime really can't hide his surprise, even if he wanted to.] I can't say I've heard of EVOs, but I'll let you know if I remember anything along those lines... or if I can do anything remotely that cool.

[third_alternative]

Well, the less people have heard of them, the better. It means they're probably not gonna be here.

As for this thing... [Rex's arm turns into the sword again] I'm not really sure how I'm doing this. Doesn't make much sense, but hey, it's cool, right?

[dentistwannabe]

It runs on the Rule of Cool, man. That's all we have to know.

[third_alternative]

Exactly!

I like the way you think.

[dentistwannabe]

It's the only one that makes sense at the moment, so we might as well go along with it, right? [More like Jaime doesn't see any reason for worrying about it.]

Hey, if my nanites run on Rule of Cool, I'm not complaining!

[has_a_blog]

Woah.

[third_alternative]

What, you mean this? [Rex brings up the sword-arm again.]

I guess it is pretty cool, huh?

[has_a_blog]

Definitely medium cool at least, if you're into sword arms.

[third_alternative]

Psh. Who's not into sword arms?

[has_a_blog]

Well I mean they're not bad if you really need to cut something I guess. Kinda pigeonholes you into a pretty narrow set of careers. I mean what can you be with a sword arm? A cook, a lumberjack, or a psychokiller.

[third_alternative]

[The arm goes back to normal.]

Well, it's not like that's all I can do. [This time, the arm turns into a giant fist.] See?

I'm like a...a Swiss army knife!

[has_a_blog]

So could you turn into a coffee maker or a toaster?

[red_dwarf]

[Jr. just kind of stares for a full minute before responding.]

That was awesome, I gotta say! But how's that going to help with my skateboard? I want to see these blueprints before we do anything.

[third_alternative]

Why do you think I'm telling you I finished them? I'm right outside the apartments.

[This way, Jr. will not have to see the sea of papers of failed designs.]

[red_dwarf]

Great! [And Jr. will be rushing outside to meet him.]

So, watcha got?

[third_alternative]

This. [Rex hands over the papers. On it, a legitimately sensible and viable way to attach jets to the board that can propel it down.

Relish it, Jr., he spent many frustrated hours on this.]

[red_dwarf]

[With a critical eye, Jr. looks it over. Intently. After a few minutes, he glances at Rex over the blueprints.]

This... might actually work.

[third_alternative]

See? What'd I tell you?

[gandere]

[ It reminds her a bit of Shirou, but since she's the kind of girl to overreact... ]

W-What the heck did you just do!?

video;

[third_alternative]

Uhh...turn my arm into a sword?

What else do you think it could've been?

video;

[gandere]

That doesn't seem weird to you in the slightest!?

video;

[third_alternative]

Weird? I think you mean awesome!

video;

[gandere]

There's nothing awesome about turning your entire arm into a sword!!

video;

[third_alternative]

It's not like I can't turn it back, you know. [And just to prove it, he does. Attached to his arm now is a perfectly normal human hand.]
