When you're used to war...

Who: [personal profile] perfectdisaster & OPEN
When: IC 6/15
Where: Residential, Shopping, and Entertainment Districts
What: Cutting classes and learning how to be "normal"
Rating/Warning: Nothing really? Maybe language, depending? Will change as needed!




I. How hard can it be to procure groceries?
[ He doesn't cook. He's never really had to learn beyond the most basic things that could be made on the field, so having to cook for himself is difficult, and recipes, which should be like following a manual, are more like reading a foreign language because the various cooking terms are not familiar to him. Unfortunately, he can't keep living on take-out and fast food, so this is a necessity.

...Which is why he's absolutely stumped, standing in front of the produce section and not understanding why in the world there are so many types of things. Lettuce is lettuce, why are there a million kinds? Just how many different peppers are there? And does there really need to be an entire section devoted to various types of apples?!

How the hell do people do this shopping thing when there are too many options to pick from? How do they know they're getting the right thing? How do they tell if what they're getting is even any good? ]


Maybe just ordering take-out for the rest of my life isn't such a bad idea after all...


II. Laundry is best left to people who have a clue.
[ Ah, the laundromat. A place where magical things can happen to those who venture inside, from chance meetings that could forever change one's life to just getting one's clothes squeaky clean! It's usually the second one. Except for Heero, it's neither. In fact, he's pretty sure this takes the cake as one of the worst possible things that could have happened here. He's sure that he followed all of the instructions, but for some reason, the washer is spewing soapy water all over the floor.

But it's okay, right? Just turn it off, clean up the mess, and learn for next time, like a normal person. Life lessons, and all that jazz... which is why he's standing there, staring at the slowly growing mess like a deer in headlights and backing away when it gets too close. It's also why, instead of asking for help (really, he's not good at the asking part) he'll look to the nearest person with an 'oh fuck what do I do' expression and hope someone else can assist.

Or at least tell him what to do so that he doesn't accidentally make a bigger mess than he already has. ]




III. Out and about
[ Cutting class is something he probably shouldn't be doing, but the classes are dull and he really doesn't care for being stuck in one school for so long... even though it hasn't really been that long at all. He's used to moving on after a quick layover for a mission, not the constant repetition of same old, same old, so exploring the place seems like a much better idea than sitting in a classroom all day.

The Entertainment District, Shopping District, and Residential Area are his locations of choice, if just because it's a distraction from what he's supposed to be doing, with his roughly knee-height companion in tow. Feel free to stop him somewhere if you like!

...just watch your kneecaps. He took away the gundam's rifle, but it still has its shoulder cannons, even if the shells are no bigger than a bb. ]

[He perks up a little at the word "firearm." He's only just starting to really understand how to create solid firearms since he arrived in Cerealia (and his own gunblade's in his pocket in its little safety cylinder) but he's nodding along with what Heero's describing. He has no idea what gundanium is, but it can't be that hard. He knows how to navigate junk yards and trade on the black market. It shouldn't be hard at all, he thinks.]

Might take me a little bit of time, but I can probably rig that. I've only designed my own firearm but my girlfriend's been making them for a while. I can always ask her and see if she has any other ideas to make them a better modification for this place. You've got the blueprints on you here?
zerotohiro: (Yo guys what's this?)

You'd be surprised what I can actually find around here when talking to the right kind of people. Leave the power source to me. I'll barter with some of the guys I know if I have to to get something that'll work. If that's the hardest part then the rest should be pretty easy to speed through.

It might take some time though...[He rubs the back of his neck even as Baymax is suddenly distracted by movement and appears to be staring down the street.] But if you're okay with that, then that's what we'll do.
zerotohiro: (Neckcrack?)

[He nods along, seemingly understanding all of that. He's fine with this. It'll be a fun challenge, he thinks.]

Get me what you can in blueprints even if it's a rough outline and I'll take care of the rest. [At the question, he looks up just as Baymax starts to shuffle forward.] Prooobably one of Tadashi's birds? Maybe? I should probably go and find out. I'll catch up with you later?
