Nestled next to a newspaper stand, a small, indescript store had moved in, with an equally small sign over the door.
"Vize's Electronics Reinvention" the sign read, and the door, slightly beaten up though it was, was unlocked... And inside... a red squirrel was fiddling with some unidentified piece of electronics, trying to get this particular chip to go where it was supposed to.

Right on the sidewalk, in front of the store, a yellow sky-bike decended from the air, making a landing. Rotor the Walrus, after helping Sora and Woliver in a lab in Miracle Lake, found that bike and used it to travel all those miles back to Station Sqaure. Since that it was pointless to find the Badniks he fixed, he planned to find Mina and Barby. But first, he might as well grab some parts for the neat stuff he found in the lab. Entering through the door, Rotor then looked in the store. "Hello?"

After a moment, the squirrel looked up, the chip finally popping back into place.
"Hm? Oh! Customer!" And quickly, the squirrel darted out of his workshop to behind the counter. After a smile at Rotor, leaning on the counter, the squirrel pocketed one of his tools.
"Can I help you, sir?"

"Oh hi there! Um, I found these robots in some abandoned lab, and I was hoping to upgrade them. Seems like these bots have a special function that hasn't been completed."

Vize seemed to perk up at the words "robots" and "upgrade" in the same sentence. After stepping from behind the counter, he then approached Rotor,fiddling with one of his tool pouches.
"Let's have us a look at these robots then, hm? I'll see if I can help ya, and give ya an estimate."

Putting his backpack on the floor, Rotor pulled out a six-foot tall robot out of that little bag; though he had trouble getting it out, what with the arms shoulder's getting caught in the edge of the bag's opening. "I have two more of these, but I did a quick check of them after finding out that they can transform into a more portable shape. But they're missing a chip that requires for that functions. Question is, I'm not sure where to find this Trans-DX chip."

"Hm... Trans-DX chip? Lemme see if I have any." And the little squirrel darted into the back of his shop, from which the sounds of piles of electronics shifting around soon ensued.

The walrus took a little look at the shop while he waited. Though he quite wondered if Sora found what he was looking for after Rotor left him and Woli. That video for the dragon sounded so full of hate. Who would've thought that a crazy doctor would mess the mind of Sora like that? Why is that incredible geniuses always waste their knowledge for evil? Dr. Eggman, always number one. And he also heard that there are other ingenious folks using their skills for evil. Then there was the legendary Professor Gerald, which broke his heart when he watched the recorded message years ago. But thankfully it was proven that Prof Gerald didn't really mean it. He tried to protect the earth, and the government slapped him in the face. Rotor always wondered...is it really worth trying to gain knowledge and try to help change the world as Prof Gerald once did? As maybe Eggman may have tried to do; who knows. Rotor sometimes feared....what if he becomes just like them. Will having more knowledge corrupt him like it did to all those evil sciencists? Is it- "Whooooa!" Rotor zipped up to something on top of a steal shelf. A tiny dancing robot that mimiced Rotor's arm movement. Rotor danced his arms around, letting the little robot toy do the same. "Neeaaaat!!!" Oh well. Knowledge is fun.

As Rotor played with the dancing robot, Vize came back into the shop, carrying a small box.
"I found a pair of Trans-DX chips. I know I had a third, but I forget what I put it in..." The squirrel chuckled self-conciously, then laughed a little as he saw the walrus' reaction to the robot.
"Yeah, he's a popular little guy, although no one's ever actually bought him."

"Wha?" notcing the owner witnessing his dance of stupidity, Rotor chuckled in embarrasment. "Uh...oh um...yeah, and I don't think I have enough money to buy him either." Approaching, Rotor peaked over at the chips. "Wow, nice! No third huh? Well okay, I'll figure out how...Um, how much are they?"

"Well, these are pretty hard to get... so prolly about 300o each."
After allowing a moment for this to settle in, the squirrel continued. "But if you let me help install 'em, I'll bump it down to 150o each."

"3-3-300??!" Sure its cheaper than the orginal price, but that's 300o all together. In the name of science and engineering, finanical sacrafices must be made. Sighing, Rotor held out a card. "Um...credit?"
|

Post by The Huggernaut on Aug 2, 2007 0:48:57 GMT -5
Vize took the card, handing the box to the walrus as he headed back to his cash register, running the card.
"Trust me, it'll be worth it. Trans-DXs are real wonders of modern electronics."

After a moment for a result on Rotor's credit card, Vize nodded, bringing it back.
"Well, Rotor, your credit passed, so we can get started. Just gimme a sec to get some of my tools, and maybe I can find that third chip while I'm back there." Vize handed the walrus his credit card back, then headed into the back...
Where he realized where he'd put that third chip. It was the one he'd been trying to get into place when Rotor arrived, that would take a bit of doing to get free.
"Hum."

Waiting again, Rotor rocked his feet against the floor while whistling a tune. He thought of dancing with the little robot again, but.... "Wait....how he knew my name?!...Oh yeah, it was on the card."

From the back came some more rattling sounds, then the unmistakable sound of a microchip popping free.
Vize then came back up front, fastening a tool belt around his waist, before handing Rotor a third Trans-DX chip.
"This one is on me, since I really should've had it available."
Vize's attention then, once Rotor took the chip, turned to the robot.
"Shall we get started?"

His eyes sprout with life before he tapped on the bot's chest. "Oh yeah! I think its transforming function is somewhere in the chest."

Josie-Jo Suddenly, a small bird flew in. A little girl, no doubt, with a very excited look on her face. "Hello!" she cooed, flapping her wings and stirring up a breeze.

Vize knelt in front of the robot, looking up as Josie entered.
"Oh, hi! I'll be with you in just a sec." Vize pulled out a small multi-tool of some kind, and carefully opened the robot's chest, looking to see where the first Trans-DX chip would go.
"Lesse here..."

"Um...." Rotor tried to get a good look of the interior. It was all covered in wires, and some kind of micro-circuit case around a muti-fin fan motor hanging on a very thick wire. But Rotor was pointing at the bottom floor of the casing, where the motor's wire met. "...I think its suppose to go somewhere there. I'm not sure which slot though; I forgot that part when I read its blueprints."

Vize examined that section, then held out his handtowards Rotor, nodding to himself.
"I think I see where it goes."

Josie-Jo But the bird had a very short attention span.
She began fluttering around the shop aimlessly, pressing all of the brightly colored buttons she could find until one of them blasted music into the shop. Startled, she slapped the button again and kept her wings to herself.

Vize jumped as he heard the music start blaring, and glanced over his shoulder, before taking one of the Trans-DXs, and setting it into place, firmly attaching it so it wouldn't pop free.
"Ok. This one is ready."

"Alright! Let's see if it works!" Rotor took out a remote control from his bag and pressed a button. The bot shook a little before its body started to shift all around, gathering together till it became disc-shaped. "Yeah! It works!!!"

Vize grinned down at the disc, then up at Rotor.
"I figure you can do the same to the rest, right? I think I have another customer I need to take care of."

"Oh yeah, defiantly! Thanks for the sale, pal!" sliding the robo-disk in his hammerspace bag, Rotor waved bye and exitted out the door.

Josie-Jo The bird then flapped over to Vize, staring up at him with big eyes. "Hi!" she chirpped, standing a centimeter away.

Vize blinked at the close proximinty, then grinned.
"How can I help ya?"
