"Kappa kappa!" Cheers Mikka's Nitori puppet as it drops its backpack and runs into another room. Mikka looks down at the bag before walking after the puppet into the workshop. She smiles upon seeing the actual Nitori. Nitori is currently holding her puppet likeness.
"Hey, Mikka. I'm guessing you've gotten settled in at least somewhat if you are out and about. That greenhouse treeting you well?" Nitori asks as she pets the puppet on the head. Mikka groans at the pun before reaching into her bag. She pulls out the two gaming systems and sets them down in front of Nitori. The kappa calmly presses the power button and frowns at the black screen. She puts the puppet down on the workbench as she begins to reach for a screw driver.
"The greenhouse is nice so thank you for installing it. Thank the other kappa for me. Do you think you can do something about these things?" Mikka asks as she watches Nitori grab a wiring kit.
"No problem. What's wrong with them anyways?" Nitori asks as she grabs a hammer. Mikka stares at the hammer in confusion.
"Dead batteries. There isn't exactly electricity in Gensokyo." Mikka mentions. Nitori pauses from adjusting a set of goggles and stares at Mikka for a second.
"You expect me to fix that?" Nitori asks in surprise. Mikka sighs.
"Yes. I expect you to play mad scientists and somehow make zombie batteries. Not. Don't you have magical batteries around her somewhere?" Mikka says while being as deadpan as she can be. Nitori laughs before standing up.
"Any other devices in mind?" Nitori asks as she walks towards a shelf. Mikka pauses for a second before turning towards the door as the sound of it being opened. She calmly waves to Momiji as the wolf tengu enters the room. Momiji looks at her in confusion.
"Tech problems." Mikka mentions. Momiji nods before sitting down and looking at the Nitori puppet. The puppet playfully blows bubbles from a wand at the tengu.
"Eh, what? Oh, hey Momiji. Just helping Mikka with a tech problem." Nitori says as she looks over her shoulder at the table.
"I've got a laptop as well." Mikka says as she looks over at her puppet. Nitori grabs a third battery before walking over to the workbench. She hands the laptop battery to Mikka before getting to work on the devices.
"Magical Lipo batteries. They can be charged by both magical energy and electricity. They also won't short out under water. Anybody in Gensokyo could use them, fairies included." Nitori says as she finishes switching out the battery of the first device. She hands it to Mikka before looking at her somewhat sheepishly.
"It's fine. I've got mana storage crystals that can power them." Mikka says as she holds the device Nitori had just finished working on. She turns it on and smiles as the screen lights up. She hands it to her puppet and watches as it pokes at the screen.
"Oh, that's an interesting way to keep them occupied." Momiji says as she looks over the puppets shoulder.
"I wish I could get another one or kids games for them, oh well." Mikka says as she looks at the puppet. Nitori hands her the second device. She then looks at Mikka.
"No cellphone?" Nitori asks upon realizing Mikka didn't mention one.
"It's worthless where theres no signal." Mikka says as she pulls out the dead phone. She hands it to Nitori to look at anyways. Nitori runs over and grabs another battery.
"Still fixing it." Nitori hums. Mikka looks over at Momiji. The wolf tengu shrugs.
"She gets this way with modern tech. Hey, Nitori. You might want to let her stay the night considering that it's already getting dark." Momiji says. Mikka pulls out her watch and glances at it. She promptly frowns.
"Well I got two out of three done. I'll just have to set out early tomorrow." Mikka says as she puts the watch back.
"Long day I'm guessing." Nitori says as she hands the fixed cellphone to Mikka. Mikka puts it away.
"To short actually." Mikka mentions.
