So, question. Does anyone have a thing that charges things up? I need to figure out if I've made a functional lightcycle or if it's just a pretty but useless baton.

It was that or find a salad to laugh into. [That part's quieter; she probably didn't mean to broadcast it. Either way, Claudia would like some help with a thing pls.]

If it's working, I'll start taking requests. Only a couple at a time, though, I need to make sure I have time to... you know. Eat and sleep.

Like, say, batteries? [there is definitely an air of 'are you stupid or something' because 1) he's in a terrible mood and 2) half the people here have no idea what batteries are.]

Those are easy.

Not even a little like batteries. Seems getting Grid technology to work without the benefit of the Grid itself to jumpstart it is trickier than I thought. If it were batteries this'd be cake.

Well, good luck dreaming up a nuclear reactor for power generation, then - I'm not going to tempt fate.

I don't think it's gonna take anything that extreme, but I can't really stick a couple double-As in and call it a day. It doesn't have a battery slot, for one thing.

I was thinking more high capacity rechargables. Alkaline is shit, I have no idea why people put up with that for so long. I tried rigging some of those as a charger a while ago, got me a whole fifteen minutes of extra battery life.

I'll figure something out. Worst case, I might be able to zap them myself, but I'm saving that for another time.

Well, good luck. [He's pretty sure you're going to need it]

Thanks. [She's not at all put off by his grumpiness. Artie's worse, and he's one of her favorite people.]
