And now for something completely different

[failgoyle]

Okay, so I've been spending a lot of time in Liminal since every time I go out, I get harassed by wind spirits...

...but I think I just lit upon something really awesome while hiding in the Workshop!

[What follows next is a musical interlude played on computer parts.]

Comments

[haremtrap]

I did not realize how much I missed shitposting until this moment.

Thank you, sir.

[failgoyle]

You're quite welcome!

Because like hell if I know how to do anything else this time around.

[haremtrap]

Oh yeah I'm kinda feeling pretty useless right now too. So fuck the haters, that is pretty cool.

[failgoyle]

I've got a couple more projects up my sleeve, too, but I couldn't wait to share this one.

[ninjayeehaw]

Good t'see yer priorities're in order, Jules.

[failgoyle]

Look, my lot in this Jaunt seems to come down to stuff like this or getting attacked by wind spirits, I'm taking this.

[cloudpotter]

[he was going to apologize

but

...]

Are you sure there's nothing more useful you should be doing?

[failgoyle]

Everything else I do seems doomed to failure.

[cloudpotter]

It can't be that bad.

[caREFULLY NOT MENTIONING HE IS PART OF THE REASON EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SO HARD FOR YOU, JULES]

Maybe a cup of tea will help?

[failgoyle]

I'm pretty sure tea's not going to help the magical ability to screw stuff up no matter how hard I try.

Or does it just make wind spirits stay away?

[[All the noise has attracted one curious (and lonely) pogemon, who is now shyly hanging out in the doorway, not sure if he should properly enter the room or not.]]

[failgoyle]

[Jules's own Pogemon bounces forward curiously.]

Hi!

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Garren startles, shrinking back for a moment before cautiously giving a small wave. Can he come in, fellow pog?]]

[failgoyle]

[The mouselike Pogemon bounces back around to look at Jules, then back at Garren.]

He's probably gonna be busy for a while...

[all_onis_are_true]

...Congratulations?

[failgoyle]

Thanks!

[He is very proud of his clearly useful contributions to everything here.]

[dontbetoncurry]

So can you get them to do something useful like mix drinks too?

[failgoyle]

...well, not these, but if you want some kind of drink mixer, I could probably work up a little robotic arm thing to do that. Not like I have much better to do here.

[helborn]

... I feel like I've heard that song before. What is it?

[failgoyle]

It's Guile's Theme, man, Guile's Theme! It goes with everything.

[helborn]

Guile... isn't he from some video game - wait, yeah! Street Fighter! I remember the movie!

[failgoyle]

The movie?! That is your frame of reference?!

[Action]

[Because Greece (Acaia, whatever) is boring and messy right now, and this is more interesting than a magical boat (how that happened, she has no idea), Neeshka decides to visit liminal space and see this thing in person. She pops up into the Workshop and explores until she finds where he's hiding.

Not hard, given the noise. And the first thing she has to ask is obvious, really:]

Okay, so, what even are those?

[failgoyle]

[Jules jumps a little when he realizes she's right there, and he looks back at her before gesturing at the drives.]

Floppy drives! They're old, and outdated, and not really floppy, but you can make them do stuff they're not really intended for.

[tailforbrains]

Yeah, you gotta get more basic than that. I'm from the land of elves, dwarves, and demons. What's a floppy drive?
