Just say that you stole it.

[frostythehitman]

please
why would i take credit for YOUR work

[godcards]

Since you're desperate and begging for help...? Ah, didn't you say the same thing just a few days ago? You really are stupider than I give you credit for.

[darkinferno]

tell him you got it from me then

[frostythehitman]

i said rich people
not somebody who just graduated and probably has like $70k in debt

[darkinferno]

it's amazing how everything you just said is wrong

google andri rantanen, i'll wait

[Spoilers, he's going to find a personal website managed at andrirantanen.com with a list of upcoming tour dates and music albums, a wikipedia article about the man, youtube clips, ticket sales, amazon listings for his albums... basically everything you'd expect from a prolific musician! Except unlike the music James listens to, Andri is a concert pianist--no wonder he's never heard of him.

Still, he's not exactly nobody.]

[idealest]

Does it work?

[frostythehitman]

no idea
trying to figure that bit out right now
it's not like it came with a manual

[cardcaptured]

[okay, his family is pretty rich and hugely involved with funding science things, so Xiaolang can totally help on this end

but he needs to get the most important matter of business out of the way first because HOLY SHIT MOM]

Retrospec sent you a ROBOTIC ARM???

Is that controlled by hydraulics? How it is attached? Have you had anyone study it yet??

[this is why you never show your robotic arms to nerdy thirteen year old boys]

[frostythehitman]

[ oh my god dude??? ]

1. yes
2. i guess so, how the hell should i know
3. right now it's NOT attached and i have no idea how i'm gonna get it on
4. i'm working on it

[angealwings]

Is the charity why the people willing to help should be rich?

As an alternative, you can claim somebody you know is tinkering with robotics and is doing some overhaul and you took the arm home so they don't lose it in the chaos.

[frostythehitman]

oh yeah they just HAPPENED to be tinkering with a robot arm and just HAPPENED to give it to the guy who's missing an arm
how the hell would i know someone who's making this kind of stuff anyway i'm in high school
there's no way my family would buy that

[usurpers]

say it was me
i just got a new car and they probably heard of my parents
honestly i was trying to work some tweeks with leo for your other one already anyway, i’ll take the bulk

1/2

[frostythehitman]

idk my dad might not be so keen on letting an AF man pay for my arm

[frostythehitman]

[ and this bit comes a few minutes later, because he has to do a double take. ]

wait what do you mean you were working with leo on tweaks

[lalliho]

I have money but I don't have a big name or anything like weirdly rich people

looks cool a lot better than the other one except the weird acid injector looking thing

[frostythehitman]

you too? jeez at this rate i'm gonna find out everyone on this app is filthy rich and just hides it

'better' huh
this one mostly just looks a lot less human than my other one
no idea what that vial's supposed to be either
some kind of mysterious retrospec energy source maybe since i don't see any other way to power this thing

[tarotcards]

1) You won it in a draw at the local science centre
2) You made it for a science fair
3) You from the future came back in time to give you this as it is the key to saving the world when it ends
4) You found it at Goodwill and thought it'd be cool to buy
5) You're really into cosplay

[frostythehitman]

wow
do you write comic books
because all of those are about as believable as one

[liberal_arts]

It's hideous.

[frostythehitman]

thanks for the professional evaluation

the real test is figuring out if it's actually any good

[flowrite]

My bff is related to a famous fashion designer, I'm sure they donate to charities already so that would be pretty believable? I can text him and ask if you still need someone?

[frostythehitman]

oh yeah
that sounds like the kind of believable charity crap i can pass off for being real
that's perfect

[youraffection]

holy shit dude
whats that vial of stuff??

[frostythehitman]

mountain dew



nah i actually have no idea
could be radioactive for all i know
which i guess is another point in favor of it being mountain dew
