[if you happen to be walking down the street in one of the middle-class sections of the Seresian capital, you might see something like this:]

ADLER'S MARVELOUS MECHANICAL MACHINERY
Grand Opening!
You break it, we fix it!

[it is currently sparkling. and there is a young girl perched on a ladder next to it, chattering with a rather metallic-looking red bird.]

Aww, Cardy! C'mon down. Nobody's gonna hurt you! I mean, you don't even have any maintenance scheduled for today.

(( lolol posting this at a weird hour. oh well, I really wanted to get her started. :( I will happily pick up late threads whenever! ))

	[what is that weird girl doiiiing-- the obvious solution is to stare. a lot.] ...Uh. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	[looks down] Oh! Hello, are you a customer? Or just a passerby! Either is fine! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	esthetic 2009-02-14 04:55 am UTC (link)
	I was just passin' by. What do you do here? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 04:56 am UTC (link)
	[slooowly coming down from her ladder.] I fix things! This is a mechanical shop. And I'm a mechanic. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	esthetic 2009-02-14 05:00 am UTC (link)
	Oh, that's pretty cool! 'Cept I don't think I have anything for you to fix... Your bird stuck up there? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:02 am UTC (link)
	He's not stuck! He's just stubborn, and he's not listening to me, and possibly I've messed up one of his coils, he does get kind of weird when he hasn't been taken apart in a while... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	esthetic 2009-02-14 05:09 am UTC (link)
	[And most of that just went over his head.] ...So you just need to get it down to fix it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:11 am UTC (link)
	He's supposed to help me out today! I really need to get new customers. ... and after that I should fix him, yes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	esthetic 2009-02-14 05:13 am UTC (link)
	I could probably get him down for you if you want, then? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:16 am UTC (link)
	Could you really? I mean, I've tried getting him down myself, but it really takes two people, and Julia won't go up that high! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	esthetic 2009-02-14 05:18 am UTC (link)
	Sure! It's no problem. 'M pretty tall, so I'll probably be able to get at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:19 am UTC (link)
	[nodsnods] Just up the ladder! Be careful! I'm right behind you! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	esthetic 2009-02-14 05:31 am UTC (link)
	[It takes him a little bit because sobs heights, but he manages to get ahold of it!] T--there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[wtf mate] ... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:26 am UTC (link)
	[waves 8D] -- oh, hello! Welcome! I'll be down in just a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	breathlessly 2009-02-14 05:32 am UTC (link)
	...What are you doin'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Trying to get Cardy to come down! He's supposed to help me with opening the shop today, and he's being a very bad bird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	breathlessly 2009-02-14 05:43 am UTC (link)
	[Looks up to the bird, notices how it looks rather...metal-y. Wth?] ...Uh-huh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:46 am UTC (link)
	[it's a lovely shade of red copper, in fact] I mean it! I think one of his coils is loose. Or maybe a gear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	breathlessly 2009-02-14 05:57 am UTC (link)
	[wait wait what. He's heard those words before, probably kind of recognizes them but...no image coming to mind oops.] 'At ain't a real bird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 05:59 am UTC (link)
	He's real, all right! He's just made from clockwork. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	breathlessly 2009-02-14 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Then it still ain't really a bird. Just looks like one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 06:03 am UTC (link)
	He's not a real flesh and bones bird! But he's still a bird. You'll hurt his feeling if you talk like that, and then he'll never come down! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	breathlessly 2009-02-14 06:07 am UTC (link)
	Whatever. [mumblemumbleweirdomumble] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clockworkgirl 2009-02-14 06:09 am UTC (link)
	Well, he won't be down for a while. [carefully making her way down the ladder] Do you want to see the shop? Can I fix anything for you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
