[ a nod of approval



time to find gloves. ]

[applechemist]

[ Searching for gloves while holding this dangerous hot thing that she should have worn gloves before even turning on. it's fine.

But she finds some! Now to. Put them on. With something in her hand.

Life is hard. ]

[vigilantics]

[ stephanie is here to encourage her and also not help. good luck. ]

[applechemist]

[ she manages to avoid burning herself!! or starting a fire!



for now. and now it is time to get at those wires. ]

What are these wires for, anyway?

[vigilantics]

Oh, I dunno. I just grabbed them.

[ safe ]

[applechemist]

Huh.

[ WELL IT'S PROBABLY FINE!! she is trying to weld them together but? basically is just poking at them with the iron? ]

[vigilantics]

[ apparently there is more to it but steph has not actually done this before so

she has no idea how to do it. it's fine. ]

Huh...

[applechemist]

[ It doesn't seem to be doing anything but melting the wires. ]

Am I doing it wrong?

[vigilantics]

Uh...

Maybe, turn it?

[applechemist]

[ She... tries turning it. But I looked it up and you're supposed to like add... soldering stuff... So... ]

Hmm... Maybe there are instructions somewhere!

[vigilantics]

[ STEPH IS JUST GOING TO

START LOOKING FOR AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL ]

[applechemist]

[ Escha is going to keep poking the wires with the soldering stuff.

She jumps and lets out a quick shriek when it sparks. and then. keeps going. ]

Haha.

[vigilantics]

Remember! Safety first!

[ she is just throwing stuff around while looking ]

[applechemist]

Yes, safety first!

[ she has GLOVES what more do you WANT? Protective eyewear????? jeez. ]

[vigilantics]

Why are there no soldering manuals here...

[applechemist]

I guess they assume we know how to use this kind of stuff. Like the washing machines.

[vigilantics]

I guess... oh. Where did you find that? Maybe there's something else there that might go with it.

[applechemist]

[ She points over to a wall where a bunch of other power tools are hanging! Beside it is a pile of loose junk, which may or may not have some papers buried in it. ]

[vigilantics]

[ she just nyooms there ]

We are gonna solder, Escha.

[applechemist]

Yeah!

[ she's glad they're both invested in this extremely important venture that is in no way a distraction coping method. and meanwhile she's... starting to poke at other metal scraps laying around with the iron. haha. melty. ]

[vigilantics]

[ sometimes melting metal... good for the soul...

but she finds solder... does she know what it is? no. but she found it. ]

This is an inconvenient time for someone who knows how all this works to not be here.

[applechemist]

[ Escha... Pauses for a moment in the middle of melting some miscellaneous gears together. ]

... Yeah.

[vigilantics]

[ she glances at escha, and pulls out some papers to look through. ]

You okay?

[applechemist]

Yeah.

I mean... I have to be.

[vigilantics]

You don't have to be anything except what you're feeling.

[ ... ]

But I get it.
