723 Anderson
[Outside of this humble abode sits a car, Corran, and his astromech droid, Whistler. Corran has Whistler rigged up on a stand so he can look down at the car's engine in the same manner Corran is.

Both are fiddling around without issues until there's a loud POP. Corran jerks back and Whistler floops off his stand, screaming and hitting the ground with a THUNK.

Corran rushes over to right the droid.]

What happened there?!

[A very....rude noise comes from Whistler.]

What do you mean it was my fault?

[More indecipherable twittering]

Of course I remembered to ground the battery, see? [nope]

....oh. You need to remind me about these things. I've never seen something be so primitive yet so complicated.

[He looks at the droid, which hoots triumphantly.]

We're never going to get this done, are we?



Phone Call
If anyone has any idea on how to overcharge a car so I can get more speed out of it, let me know. The hunk of junk moves too slow for my comfort. I just can't figure this out and having more speed would be nice.

Ain't really possible to overcharge 'em, but there's a couple tricks I've figured out to get 'em workin' a bit smoother.

Phone

[donttellmetheodds]

I'll hear out whatever you can give me. Well, my droid will hear it out. My technical skills are a little sub-par.

Re: Phone

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Mostly some of the engine bits ain't as efficient as they ought to be. Everythin' here's right antique.

[Wait...]

Yer droid ain't made for killin' folk, is it?

Re: Phone

[donttellmetheodds]

You can say that again.

No, no. Whistler is made for astronavigation and dabbles in mechanical repairs. He also has a pretty wicked security package installed too.

Re: Phone

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Oh! I think Luke mentioned havin' somethin' like that at home. Sounds right handy.

Re: Phone

[donttellmetheodds]

Master Luke? Yeah, he has R2-D2, probably the most famous droid in the galaxy.

[gandere]

Why are you talking to that trashcan?

[ Seriously dude, you've got some problems. ]

action;

[donttellmetheodds]

Hey, he's not a trashcan.

[With the loud raspberry noise Whistler is making, he doesn't seem to be taking the insult very well either.]

action;

[gandere]

Why is your trashcan whistling?

[ SERIOUSLY DUDE. PROBLEMS. ]

action;

[donttellmetheodds]

He's an R2 unit and he doesn't take kindly to being insulted.

action;

[gandere]

Is that what they call trashcans where you're from then?

[ If it looks like a trashcan and sounds like a... well, maybe this isn't the best way to go about that logic. Instead, she's going to walk over towards Whistler herself. ]

See, if you put your foot on the pedal--huh, where is it's pedal? [ SUDDEN CLOSE UP INSPECTION TIME. ]

[Phone]

[beadazzled]

Oh oh! I know!

You take a second car battery and you put that on top of your regular car battery and then you have two car batteries!

[Phone]

[donttellmetheodds]

Something tells me that might not work.

[Phone]

[beadazzled]

Hmmm.

What if you drew an angry face on it! So it meant business!

[Phone]

[donttellmetheodds]

Maybe if I was a gang member. Usually, I'm on the opposite side of the law so that won't work.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

That's a weird Rinne you have there, old man.

[donttellmetheodds]

And you use a lot of weird words I can never understand. And it's Corran. I'm not exactly an old man just yet.

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Mou! Anyway, it is still really weird-looking.

What does it do?

[donttellmetheodds]

Don't insult him or you might get what happened to the girl who did that last.

But the real question is, what doesn't he do?

[enpatsushakugannouchite]

Oh, what happened to her?

[phone]

[noluckduck]

I can have a look at it.

[phone]

[donttellmetheodds]

Feel free. It's not like you'll break anything.

[noluckduck]

Damn right. [Hopefully.] Where's your car at?

[donttellmetheodds]

In my driveway at 723 Anderson.

[noluckduck]

Right then! I'll be there. [Click! And so she heads there, carrying the few tools she has here.

... Meaning a wrench and a pair of gloves, really.]
