Looking for anyone out there with information on people who have experience with advanced, robotics-adjacent prosthetics. Specifically maintenance and repair, not design. Discretion required.

[ooc: that's it that's the post please feel free to harass the hell out of Bucky/hit me up if you prefer to harass him in person and we'll work something out. Also please threadhop to your heart's content on anything not marked private]

No, he was quite clear on his intentions to kill me.

[bestversion]

[ that doesn't sound like him. ]

What happened? That thing you didn't do?

[sinistral]

Maybe? I don't know, and I didn't have time to find out.

[bestversion]

Maybe we can find out here.

[sinistral]

Why?

[bestversion]

Because you deserve to know the truth?

And it'd be helpful, I think. Not to be in the dark.

[sinistral]

Would be a mess all over, if people always got what they wanted.

[bestversion]

So you don't think you deserve to know?

[sinistral]

Don't think what I want or don't want actually matters.

[bestversion]

Why wouldn't it?

[sinistral]

Call it precedence.

[Call it being blamed for an explosion at the UN. Call it Steve in his apartment.]

[bestversion]

Is that something you really want to be beholden to?

[sinistral]

Not necessarily. But I'm a realist, not an optimist.

[bestversion]

I don't get how realism means to stop trying.

[sinistral]

And the argument circles: doesn't matter what I want or not, does it?

Look, maybe there's an answer I can find here. Maybe not, I don't know. If there is, maybe I'll be able to uncover it. But maybe not. I could obsess over it, or I could try to just move on. That doesn't mean forgetting it or not being hopeful, it means being realistic about not focusing my entire life on this one thing.

[ this guy is . . . very weird. like sir, this is a dennys. it was just an idea. ]

It just sounds like you talk yourself out of the things you want.

[sinistral]

[pancakes though...]

Sometimes, yes. I'm aware.

[bestversion]

Okay. I hope you find what you're looking for.

[sinistral]

[sobs why is she so good she doesn't deserve this grump]

Thanks.

[bestversion]

You're welcome.
