02; Things To Fix and Break

ACTION | GENESSIA PARK

[Terrance can be found in the center of the park with a lot of expensive looking equipment scattered around him. He has a laptop on his right with a few cords hooking from that to a naked motherboard sitting on the grass in front of him. Next to that is a system that looks like it needs a case around it. There are wires and electrical hazards sticking out in all directions.

His fingers click swiftly across his keyboard before running the program that he had created for his thesis. There were a few sparks that weren't suppose to be there and Terrance quickly closes the program and begins fiddling with system to his left. He places his screwdriver between his lips as he pulls a few other tools from his backpack.]

Bloody fucking machine. [He mumbles the words while keeping the screwdriver between his lips.

It isn't the same set up he had before but this will work. As soon as he stops it from over heating and sparking.]

ACTION | CLOSED TO TONY

[There are a few things he isn't interested in. One of those things is explaining to Tony why he has a bloody lip. He slips into the familiar mechanic room which is where he's been moonlighting as a mechanic. He's also been stealing a few trash pieces of equipment and re-purposing them into something else.

He takes a seat in the corner and pulls his laptop from his backpack. He turns on the familiar bright screen and begins to work on the system already set up in front of him. The stuff he's working on for Tony is cool and not to hard, just time consuming.

For now he's going to ignore Tony and hope that Tony ignores him.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

*Sonico's slowly getting more used to the city in which she lives, but she figured she should go have a look at the park now that she was a bit more settled. So here she is, sauntering around in shorts and a tshirt with an ice cream in her hand.

Then she spies sparks just a little distance away and, concerned, starts to walk towards them. That's when all the random equipment comes into view, and then, at the middle, Terrance.

Curious now, Sonico heads straight over and pauses just in front of him, leaning down and smiling, amused*

Building robots, Terrance?

[Terra keeps his dark hazel gaze on the machine in front of him. He drops the screw driver from his lips and reply to Sonico while his fingers carefully twist the small Philips head pinched between his fingers.]

That's my part-time job, this is something else and it's all mucked up thanks to the bloody resisters.

[He pauses his work and looks up, only then realizing that he'd been spoken to and had replied. He'd been too focused on his work to realize that he'd automatically reply and now he feels awkward.]

You catching flies?

[He points his tool towards her ice cream before turning back to the mechanical system in front of him.]

*Sonico watches him as he works, not understanding what he's doing but being curious anyway*

"The bloody resisters?"

*His reply question makes her suddenly remember her ice cream cone, which is gradually starting to melt. Quickly, to make sure that it doesn't drip on his machine, Sonico licks the ice cream to keep it safe*

Not catching flies - that isn't my part time job. I'm just enjoying the sun.

*Sonico continues to lean down in front of him, ice cream being held out the way*

So what's this 'something else', or is it top secret?

Catching flies is a saying for staying with your mouth open.

[He keeps his eyes on his work and carefully loosens the resistor. He needs to replace it with a 35 ohm resister which luckily he has with him.]

I'm creating a system that can map the life force of the planet. We can see the pulse and watch it bleed.

*Sonico was still standing there with her mouth open, but she shut it very quickly. She continues to just watch as he fiddles with the machine, finishing off the last of her ice cream*

But...why? How does it help?

Do you know how much the production of your clothing, that ice cream, kills the planet?

[He continues to work as he speaks.]

People won't believe it unless they see it and I'm going to show them.

So what do you suggest? Would you rather I had no ice cream and that I was naked?

*Said completely and utterly innocently enough as she continues to watch. Eventually, she decides to sit down on the grass in front of him, careful not to knock any of his equipment*

[Metal scrapes against metal as he fumbles the tools in his fingers. They go clattering to the grass as Terrance's attention is finally pulled away from the machine.]

What?

[He's staring at her now as if finally registering that she's standing there.]

Would I rather?

[What kind of question is that?!]

Well, you said that my ice cream and clothing was playing a part in destroying the planet...so would you rather I didn't have either?

*Oh wait...The way that he's staring at her helps her click on what she has just said and her cheeks flush a little pinker. Sonico glances away and attempts to shrug like it's all cool*

Not just me. But you too - Or-or anyone! Everyone, I mean.

[Terrance's throat dries as she continues. Does this girl realize what she's saying? They've met twice now and he's pretty sure that she doesn't know that he's Mr.Smith.]

Do you talk to everyone about getting naked?

[He is trying very hard not to get flustered but she's slowly breaking down his usual guards.]

Huh? Oh!

*Oh dear, she's got herself into something really awkward here, hasn't she? Sonico plays with the hem of her shirt, looking at his shoulder rather than his face*

No, I definitely don't! That was - an accident - it's not that I'm saying that we should get naked. Or that it would be horrible if you were naked or -

*Sonico blushes and bites her lip, trying to gather her thoughts. But she knows that she's just making things worse thanks to her terrible awkwardness. So instead, she decides to take a deep breath*

So. You want to help protect the planet with this?

[Terrance is fighting the discomfort as he stares at her. He's trying very hard to keep his eyes on her face and not let them wander. From his position on the ground it's very hard.]

Sit down and stop talking before you hurt yourself.

[Or make things worse... so much worse.]

Yes, I do.

[Terrance sighs and pulls his gaze back towards the machine. He looks at the resistor he'd been trying to remove and sees the damage that her comment had caused. Fuck him... It's easier to focus on work than... Sonico. He's really not used to people. He's also not used to girls talking to him let alone talking about them naked... God fucking damn he needs to stop think about that...]

*Completely at a loss of what she should do or say in this situation, Sonico just does as she's told and sits down in front of him, tucking her legs beneath her*

Sorry. That was...completely inappropriate...

*Still chewing her lip as she watches him, feeling like an idiot for the things that she'd said, and in front of this clever guy who was sitting making machines for fun. He certainly didn't look too happy when he examined his machine again. Still blushing, she had to do her best not to just stare at him, so she picks at some grass instead*

That's a great cause. I've been thinking about going into ecology research and conservation once I'm done with my current studies.
