2nd Sölö [Video]

[The camera opens to Eddie standing in his room, two curtains pulled over some rather large spaces in his room.  Dramatically, he clears his throat.]

Ladies and Gentlemen!  Alright, so I know some of you guys know me, and some of you don't.  For those that don't, the name's Eddie Riggs.  I'm a roadie, and I'm pretty fuckin' good at what I do.  Now that I got that outta the way, I got some presents for some of you guys.  Roxy, I know you've been waiting for this puppy, so here it is.

[Eddie pulls back the first curtain, revealing a black, polished violin and bow.  The instrument looks a little patchwork in places, as if Eddie has had to find certain substitutes for the composition of the violin itself, but it looks like it's holding together really well.]

I couldn't really scavenge any parts to make it electric and give you a sweet ass distortion pedal with it, but it's finished.  Sorry it took so long, but I don't have the luxury of shit growing out of the ground from a dead beast of fire.  Work with what you got, y'know?  Anyway, come pick it up and take it for a spin!  Should be tuned and ready to go!  Oh, and Balder, dude.  Don't think I've forgotten about you!

[Eddie pulls back the second curtain, revealing an extremely well crafted battle axe, with a mark of Ormagöden adorning the top of the weapon.  The edges of the weapon have been very well sharpened and polished, a bit more for presentation than practical use, but Eddie wanted to put on a good display of his talents before he made the proposition to the other Transports he was thinking of.]

So what do you guys think?  I hope it was worth the wait.  Oh, and don't any of you guys feel left out if I've talked to you about building stuff yet.  I'm making a list.  Actually, that's something I wanted to talk to you all about.  Way I see it, some of you guys want different stuff that you may not be able to get, right?  Usually I wouldn't have any problem doing it in a flash, but seeing as we're in the middle of something of a shit hole, that's kind of a problem.  So here's what I'm proposing.

I want to open up a workshop to build shit you guys want or need.  Could be weapons, clothes, or more luxurious stuff.  Doesn't matter.  If it's something small enough, I don't wanna charge for it, but the bigger the job, I might have to ask for you to either pay for it, or bring me some materials to get started.  If I've already offered to fix something up for you, I'm not gonna go back on it and ask for anything in return.  That'd be kind of a dick move.

[Eddie sits on his bed, turning the camera towards himself.]

So that's what I got so far.  Any questions?

Oh my god that looks so awesome!

I'll be right over in a bit! Umm- where are you?

[asskickersunite]

It plays a bit better than it looks, I promise.

Oh, shit. Right, I forgot that. I'm in apartment 808. You able to get here?

[tipsygnostalgia]

Are you kidding, it looks totally badass.

I'm just 4 floors below! Be up in a jiffy.

If you require aid in setting up that sort of thing, I might be able to be of service. [ Jaina, Jaina. Can't stop offering to help. ] Every place of business must look presentable to it's customers, yes?

[asskickersunite]

No worries, I'm pretty good at building stuff and making it look good.

[Granted, his definition of good is a stonehenge-esque stage, but eh.]

[urnotafraid]

I did say I'll find what you need if it's findable.

[asskickersunite]

Those Initiative guys have a lot of resources for weapons. Your handguns are next on my list, and shouldn't be a problem to fix 'em up.

[urnotafraid]

It looks like they do, but I'd figured I would offer. You never know what you may need that isn't available.

[a_million_blossoms]

... What, exactly, is a 'roadie'?

[asskickersunite]

Roadies are dudes and ladies who travel with bands and make sure shit runs smoothly so the band can get up on stage and rock the fuck out without any problems.

[a_million_blossoms]

... Was that supposed to make sense?

[Forgive the guy, he's not human and probably would be more at home in the Japanese Edo period.]

[dusk_and_dawn]

Well done! That is excellent work, especially in so little time. What is that symbol atop it?

[asskickersunite]

That's just my own personal touch. A little nod to the Beast that made a lot of things possible.

could you do a bike?

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

As in a bicycle or a motorcycle?

[charming_jerk]

[Color this guy impressed.]

Holy shit. Yeah, I want somethin'. I want some kinda hand to hand weapon. The Initiative kinda screwed me on that end. Thing is, I don't know what I want. I'm good at punchin' guys and bein' fast. Any suggestions?

[video]

[asskickersunite]

Hm. Sounds like you'd want something like Trench Spikes or a similar weapon. Relatively short blade, easily concealable and quick to attack with.

[A patchwork violin? Colour Aigis impressed.]

You can make anything out of spare parts?

video;

[asskickersunite]

Yep. Might not be as good as if I had the best components on the market, but that sure as shit never stopped me.

[video]

[burnthewitch]

Not too shabby! You definitely got my attention.

[video]

[asskickersunite]

Well, I do this sorta shit for a living. Figured it was about time I open up my services.

[painfeels]

You built them both yourself? Seriously?

[That's pretty cool.]

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

Yep! I can make one hell of a sandwich, too.

[bittertears]

Rather impressive that you're able to back up such a claim. The violin in particular seems well-made.

I've been a roadie for almost a decade and a half now. Even before that I had a knack for this kinda stuff.
