video / action for Lacus

[replantsflowers]

[When the video starts off there are several machine-like parts on the ground. Most of them seem to be painted pink. There are sounds that sound awfully like someone building something-- and sighing.]

It's really no use... if only Athrun would be here...

[The voice belongs to Kira who's trying to build a Haro for Lacus. As a birthday present. Now while he's good with technology he's not really good at making new things. Fixing them sure, but making something from a scratch -- not so much. It doesn't help that the sources around here are pretty limited.

It doesn't mean he can't try.

More sounds. Parts being lifted up from the ground. Parts floating in the air.

-- wait what?]

Magnemite, what did I tell you about going around at a time like this...

[Ah, that explains it. The parts fall down with a crash and the scene continues.

It seems that Kira is really unaware he's being filmed until the moment the gear is actually brought into his view. Say hi?]

-- Eevee, please don't play with that- it's filming? [There goes the surprised. Kira looks a bit confused and awkward.] This is just an experiment of sorts.

[He'll just shut the gear now as he's not really sure what he should say.]

[What are you building ...Heeeeey, no turning the gear off, she liked the sounds!]

What kind of an experiment is it? If I may ask, of course.

[Let's try to be polite here, even if she's all excited about new things right now!]

[replantsflowers]

I'm trying to see if I can build something that we have in our world. [It's harder than Athrun makes it look.] I don't think we have enough parts in this world for that...

[usedwrench]

[Okay, so now you have +1 extremely interested mechanic here.] I should do that for something from my world too. [Automail~! ...Why doesn't she have a Skarmory by now is an excellent question.] Maybe you could replace some of the materials with something from this world if that works at all.

[replantsflowers]

I've tried to think of solutions for the missing parts... but none of them have really worked. [Was it the parts or the person doing the project, who knew?]

Are you a mechanic?

[usedwrench]

I hope you'll find the right parts for it one day and then it will work. [See this smile? Optimistic as ever.]

Yes, been one for years and going to be one forever.

action forever;

[the_whitequeen]

[ Lacus had been in the kitchen working on making a cake and a few batches of cookies. Not for herself, but the day care center she was visiting on her birthday.

She heard noises coming from the room and rushed to see if Kira was alright.

First, she knocks on the door. ] Kira? Kira, are you alright?

Is everything fine in there?

[replantsflowers]

[-- oh no.

Kira quickly puts all the parts and the tools into a box and puts the box under the table. Maybe he can still make it a secret for Lacus likes this...]

Yes. Everything's fine.

[thewhite_symphony]

[ Lacus was much too polite and respectable to enter Kira's room without his permission. She was worried though and fought the urge to help him. What if Kira was hurt? She couldn't bear not doing anything. ]

Are you sure? That sounded like a terrible accident.

[replantsflowers]

I just... dropped something. It's nothing for you to worry about, Lacus.

[thewhite_symphony]

[ She becomes quiet for a moment, but then smiled. As long as he says he is fine ... ]

Alright. If you insist ...

... but why don't we go out for a walk. Just to take a break. Maybe it can help.

[video]

[impulsives]

...Are you actually trying to build one of those annoying Haro things?

[he sounded more baffled than amazed to be honest.]

[video]

[replantsflowers]

I am. Lacus' birthday is soon, so I thought I'd surprise her... but I think this will be more of a shock than a pleasant surprise.

[video]

[impulsives]

...Well, I suppose you can say that literally.

[video]

[replantsflowers]

Ah...

[Can you see how bad he feels, Shinn?]

I guess I could at least make a non-moving one as a mascot... though it would probably work better as a plush toy than a metallic one.

[video]

[impulsives]

Maybe it's just me but you should stick with what you can do for her.

[Awkwardly.]

Valentine's not all about gifts, you know.

[video]

[captainash]

Do you have a blueprint for that experiment of yours? You look like you need it.

[video]

[replantsflowers]

I did manage to draw as much details as I remembered, but they're not much of help...

[video]

[captainash]

Can you buy a complete one and take it apart to check the details?

[video]

[replantsflowers]

I'm afraid these don't exist in this world. They're something my friend makes in our world...

[video]

[captainash]

He's not there to help you, then?

[video]

[eclectical]

What are you trying to make?

[video]

[replantsflowers]

I'm trying to build a birthday present. It's something that belongs to our world.

[video]

[eclectical]

Oh. [Hmm...] What is it supposed to look like, and what is it supposed to do?

[video]

[replantsflowers]

[He shows a picture of a round robot. It says Haro on the picture.]

They mostly bounce around and talk... much like pets in robot form.

[video]

[eclectical]

Aww, it looks really cute!
