[see rikku. see rikku lying on her bed, tossing her garment grid in the air and catching it. see rikku do this for a few moments before chucking it across the room, where it hits her dresser with a loud clang. throwing metal disks is not advised. she sits up, clearly frustrated. she starts talking to herself, not caring that the camera is recording.]

How flippin' hard is this supposed to be?! Shinra did it, and he's like, ten! I'm a full grown Al Bhed! I've been taking apart toasters and building engines since I was three! How is it even possible that I can't figure out how to fix something a ten year old accidentally made?

[her hair is down, stupidly long, and she runs her hands through it, just tangling it more. she picks up the grid, sadly dented now, and angrily pushes one of her dresspheres into a slot.]

I'm literally out of ideas! Shiva's tits, maybe I'll just have to blow it up and be done with it! How come I can't just put it on [she clips the grid to her belt. it glows a bit. she doesn't seem to notice.] think real hard [she slams her eyes shut and screws up her face like an idiot.] and have it freakin' work?!

[it is at this point while she is still yelling that the glow turns into a pretty blinding light. a second later, the light fades and rikku is left standing in her warrior dressphere. she is brandishing her sword very menacingly and her yelling lasts for about five more seconds before she cuts herself off.

she blinks. she stares at the sword and gives it an experimental slash. she grins.]

Oh. Well, that was easy.

I don't know what that is, but I want one.

[klutziness]

[she smirks, though her expression quickly turns apologetic]

Sorry, it's one of a kind. Well, on this ship anyway. There are a bunch back home.

[needsheadphones]

Aww. [ :CCC ]

No way of making more?

[klutziness]

When I said "a ten year old accidentally made it," I wasn't kidding.

[needsheadphones]

You and I are both older than ten. We can totally reverse engineer one.

[ Nevermind that she has no actual idea who you are, Rikku. ]

[klutziness]

[rikku doesn't care]

That's what I've been tryin' to do since I got here!

[needsheadphones]

Didn't have me then, though. Maybe you were too close to the project.

[klutziness]

[a long pause]

What's your name again?

[needsheadphones]

Rebecca.

Yours?

[klutziness]

Rikku. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer.

[Color her a little impressed AND amused.]

I'd ask how you did that but you don't have any idea, do you?

[klutziness]

Not really. But I'd guess it had something to do with getting frustrated and chucking it across the room.

[rubblegoddess]

Isn't it funny that that works sometimes? Not quite brute force, but something like desperation.

[klutziness]

Chyeah, on kidding. I never really think it'll work for me, though. I usually end up breaking stuff.

[rubblegoddess]

Usually isn't always, so there's hope for you, at least. And knowing the people on this ship, if you break something, someone might be able to fix it.
