002 - [Video]

[Are you ready, Adstring? It's time for Round 2 with your friendly(?) neighborhood asshole.]

Important question, so you all should listen up. This concerns you, too, Armin.

I've got gear that relies on compressed gas to work. Which is all fine and dandy. If I ever run out, I just gotta fill up again, no problem. Except...um...

[Insert a little unsure laugh here.]

Is there any gas here? Like, naturally or otherwise?

[He's not getting his hopes up, after seeing the state of this place, but...he just has to make sure.]

What sort of equipment?

[Nevermind him being nosy and not even answering the question.]

Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear.

[You're so helpful, Castiel :|]

What does that do?

[He's always incredibly useful.]

[He's familiar with gear, but not anything that works with compressed gas. He wonders how it works - of course he doesn't know much about gas.]

What kind of gear do you use?

Edited 2013-08-18 22:12 (UTC)

[Why does everyone hone in on that detail?]

Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear. It helps us fight in the air and just get around a lot faster and easier.

[To put it simply.]

[Because it's by far the most interesting thing about you, aside from your stellar personality.

He thinks over those words. For someone who had learned how to maneuver around in the air and fight when he was still a kid, the idea of using gear for such a purpose was perplexing.]

Why do you need gear to maneuver around and fight? Are you crippled? [Blunt.]

Well you know, there certainly should be! [And that's what counts!! Elizabeth's curls bounce with her earnestness: she may have no idea what Jean is talking about, but BOY IT MUST BE IMPORTANT. And she will absolutely take this opportunity to be offended on Jean's behalf. Adstringendum is really the worst-mannered place she's ever seen, how terrible.]

[He's taken by surprise for a moment when a little girl shows up on his PCD. A very enthusiastic little girl. Jean doesn't really play well with others his own age, let alone know how to interact with someone even younger.

Um.]

Y-Yeah, there should, but I don't think there is.

[The juvenile approach to life, she feels, is the best. Plus she's spoiled, so reality is a new, strange beast. What is situational maturity???]

Then, someone ought to find some! Where do you usually get it?

isnt gas needed for stoves

would that give you what youre looking for?

[Oh no, texting. Jean's last experience didn't go so well. So it's switching to video for him.]

I thought you used wood for stoves.

[ oh. okay. all right. FINE. be that way. he doesn't genuinely feel like socializing, but it's cool, whatever, jean.

he's a little bed-headed boy-or-girl thing half hidden under a pile of blankets. there's a little yawn and small groan before he bothers. ]

They did. Then, some bloke came up with gas for stoves. [ his lips purse. ] Ummm. I don't know what we use in this house.

[ but, he's never seen anyone shovel wood into the oven before and I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW. so oops. ]

There might be, but I do not know for sure. Certain supplies are scarce as it is.

[And Sheik lives a rather simple live and her current living arrangement does not even have electricity so...]

[He rubs a hand over his face, sighing.]

How do you guys survive if you have nothing useful around here?

[Sheik's job so far has clearly just been to rain on Jean's theoretical parade.]

I have never heard of anyone asking for compressed gas before on the network, so I don't think it is something that affects many of us as we live our day to day lives. Supplies are short here, especially supplies that may only be from our own worlds.

It may be time to ditch your gear and begin to rely on other things. Anything you ever needed in your own world, the Animus makes sure you don't have it here.

I'm not just gonna ditch my weapons. I'll just have to...figure something else out.

There are plenty of other weapons here that can be used without your oil. You have plenty of free time to learn how to wield them as well. There is no use being stubborn here.

There's not much fuel, and most of it is used to power the generators.

Generators?

Compressed gas...now that's a new one. I can't say I've come across any canisters while I've been out. Still, if they are there, they've most likely been punctured knowing this place.

[Gas powered equipment. How quaint for his own universe, but relatively high tech for here.]

I'll admit, having gas already in canisters would be really nice, but at this rate, I'll take it fresh from the ground. There has to be some that hasn't been drilled for or something, right?

[It's a natural resource, isn't it?]

Gear that requires gas? So when you run out, you're fucked?

...Kind of? Without gas, I'm just grounded right now. It doesn't mean I still can't go anywhere or do anything, but I can't act to my full potential.

All natural resources around here are very hard to come by. There are some people who can manage to help with things like that however. I've been starting to learn from someone named Tony Stark, maybe he can help you if I can't.

What kind of gas is it? I can try keeping an eye out for somewhere to get it, like ground fissures. There's also a volcano out in the wastes. Do you have schematics for the gear? Alternatives might be able to be made?

I can't promise anything however. Chances are that once you are out, you are out and that is it.
