008 ♐ Accidental video : Finally get this ball rolling

[musclebeast]

[The feed clicks on but it doesn't seem intentional, at least you'd hope it's not intentional because why the heck is Equius shirtless?]

[WELL, I will tell you why! Because he seems to be working on something, I mean, just look at all that glistening nice sheet metal he has piled up in this room. And there's just a huge pile of broken up robots and other machines on his other side. There seem to be a few bent pieces of metal near him as well, though they appear to be purposely bent so, in more rounded shapes. These shapes match the almost hive like hull Equius is walking towards. It's is a mostly rounded off looking cocoon shape, with a small opening that Equius could fit into if he wished to right now. Next to this strange device, is a long, horizontal tube, attached to a rather thick, intricate looking metal base. The tube and it's base are lifted off the ground enough that Equius can lay on his back and slide under it, which he does, after putting on some goggles and metal face mask, pulling on a rather thick looking leather chest guard, and starting up a soldering gun.]

[Soon after there some sparks seen from under the complex looking base of the tub. It is soon accompanied by some other metallic sounds, drilling, and an occasional curse word; something along the lines of "gosh darnit" or "goodness me". The computer seems to still be on, Equius might have accidentally activated the camera on it when he went to go check some digital blue prints. He doesn't notice, even as he slides back out from under the tube and inspects a small compartment on the side of the base, kneeling, and taking his mask and leather guard off.]

Dangit...

Comments

[speakveryclearly]

Okay; thanks.

[With RAINBOW DRINKER SPEED she turns off the comm and bounds up the five flights or whatever of stairs in about thirty-five seconds. At second thirty-eight he will hear the knock.]

[musclebeast]

[He moves from his room to the front door and opens it, glancing at her with a stern expression. Equius just kind of.. stares, for a moment, still having a hard time adjusting to her changed appearance, but soon he's stepping back into his unit, letting her come in.]

You were... extremely prompt. If you are going to be cutting my hair, I am going to shower first so feel free to stay here and avoid the others as best as you can. [Because he sure as heck would.]

[speakveryclearly]

It's kind of something that I can do now. Sorry.

[Settling onto the couch to sit and wait.] Who else do you live with here?

[musclebeast]

Right. [Another blank stare, unfolding his arms and heading to the hallway.]

Sollux Captor and Eridan Ampora. Though Sollux tends to be rather absent most of the time since our agreement. Excuse me. [Doop doop, gonna go shower now.]

[speakveryclearly]

Useful information... [Said more for herself than him. While she is in the shower she examines things lying around in the room. A white cup with a symbol on it. Hmm. No, too weak for easy tracking. Foiled.]

[musclebeast]

[Kanaya, get out of his shower.]

[Give him 10 minutes though and he's done, the water is turned off. A few more minutes and he's dressed, walking out with a towel on his head, hands moving it around to dry his hair a bit more.]

Okay. [Slicks back his hair, putting the towel around his neck. His shades are already on, of course. He put them on as soon as he got out.]

Now then.

[speakveryclearly]

[Caught in the middle of cracking open some kind of book - though she closes it, pushes it away, and stands "promptly".]

Yes... I see what we have here... hmm... [Walking around him a bit, paced, for perspectives.]

Would you perhaps like to be left enough for a ponytail to be maintained, merely one of less ridiculous length?

[musclebeast]

I don't particularly care. [Eyes her from behind his shades, arms crossing over his chest.]

You have more interest in this type of thing than I do. I just wouldn't mind it out of the way.

[speakveryclearly]

Very well. [Moving to stand behind him now, hefting up the length of his ponytail in one hand.]

If you'll stand still for the next few moments?

[musclebeast]

[Sure, he'll just cross his arms and stand there then.]

[speakveryclearly]

[Alright.

While he's got his back turned like this.

In her other hand... gets out the chainsaw.

SUDDEN BZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Much of his hair falls to the ground along with a sliced-in-half piece of paper that was on a piece of furniture, which is now nicked.]

[musclebeast]

[Holy cow that sound almost makes him jump but he keeps still as he said. Soon he glances down though and double takes at the amount of hair left on the floor.]

Oh my...

[speakveryclearly]

It really grew, I suppose.

[Yup... STRONG grew...]

[musclebeast]

[If the saw is off, he lifts a hand up to rub the back of his head and-]

Dear Mother Grub- It's been, quite some time since it was this short.

[speakveryclearly]

[Shrug.]

Is it displeasing to you.

[musclebeast]

No, it is out of the way, that is what I wanted. [His hands rubs in place a few more times, adjusting to it before he looks up to her. There's a moment where.. maybe, the corner of his mouth twitches, but nope. Stern glance.]

Thank you.

[speakveryclearly]

You're quite welcome.

[Another pause.]

Well, if that's all you need from me.

[musclebeast]

[Stands up, crossing his arms.]

Yes, it is.

[speakveryclearly]

[Raises one hand to wave as she turns on her heel, preparing to go.]

[musclebeast]

[Works for him, leaving to go into his room now.]
