7. [BBS] (open to action)

[rewritethis]

Need a good mechanic. Probably a quick job, but don't quote me on that. Knowing something about anatomy might help.

I can pay a little, or we can negotiate. Let me know.

[Unusually, this post is signed; it's that or risk attracting someone he's antagonised in the past. Okay, there are other kinds of awkwardness it might not ward off - questions like "what would you need a mechanic for?" or "hey, did you ever find that crown a brave GFC member left in your dorm while you weren't looking?", just for example - but he can live with those.

On the other hand, anyone expressing scepticism that he has grown at all since arriving at Garden is going to get punched through a computer screen. He'll figure out a way.]

[...yes, thanks for advertising it to everyone, other person who doesn't sign their BBS posts. But whatever - he's fine with that as long as nobody asks why.]

Fixing it wouldn't be "quick" if it was that bad, would it?

[Do you have any idea how hard it is for her to type, Ed?]

...i dunno

would it

hey i know i was gonna show you my new trick later but if you're out of action it can wait

[rewritethis]

[Well, now he can guess...]

No, it wouldn't. It'd take something pretty drastic to put ME out of action. Who do you take me for?

[elementofloyalty]

someone who'd complain if i dragged him out and his arm was messed up

Do YOU want to get busted up? I said I'm fine!
