Mécanisme 002 [Video / Action for Heimdall House]

[horlogerie]

[There is a metallic clanking and a bit of shuffling as Hugo orients himself around a massive piece of metal and gears now settled in his lap, fingers testing a bolt here and then gripping a thin steel rod there that in turn makes a wheel move and with it the next. He smiles as the wheels spin in the air and the rods cycle up and over without catching.  When he is satisfied he turns his creation into view.

An engine, one nearly the length of his arm. What had begun as a small idea and a small project has grown and now as he sets it on the ground has taken shape in dusty black and red metals and large silver wheels, rough at the edges, but all in all a fine looking locomotive for what he had to work with and his lack of practice.

And as a final touch the name "Cabret" is painted in bright golden yellow on the side, just above a few dent marks left by his hammers.]

I need somewhere to test this...

[He lifts up a handful of coals from a nearby table where crude but workable track pieces sit in a stack ready and waiting to be laid out somewhere.]

...any ideas? 

[[Private to Ja'far]]

The train is ready...I think it's going to work. 

(ooc: image for a general idea of what the train's shape looks like, obviously without the fancy finishing touches, extra parts, and showroom quality.)

Ah! That's pretty cool!

[Have some applause from this apparent seven-year-old.]

Ne, I'm betting there's space to test out your train at the Park!

[Hugo actually smiles a little, but it's bashful and he pretends to check one of the coupling rods to hide it]

The park? Where is that?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's in Baldr district. It's hard to miss because it's really big.

Re: [video]

[horlogerie]

Would I get in trouble if I built a railway there?

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

That's a good question! I don't know who is in charge of the park to ask permission. Do you want to go check it out? We can ask the zookeepers!

An attractive piece of frivolity there with working parts and potential mobility. What were you planning to do with it?

[Someone sounded very curious.]

Re: Audio

[horlogerie]

[A little furrowed eyebrow]

...I was planning to see if it will work.

Audio

[alternia_strength]

Hmmm, we must see if it would be operational yes. But how much space would be required for such a feat?

Re: Audio

[horlogerie]

I've built a track, it's a circle so it wouldn't need too much.

Audio

[alternia_strength]

Well, what are you waiting for? Test out the mechanical construction immediately. It isn't the sort of thing that needs to be waited upon, is it?

[He wanted to see.]

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

That's a very beautiful engine.

[ Definitely worth giving away some of his things. He's a bit in awe, because this is just a little kid. ]

How much space do you need?

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

[Hugo's fingers play a bit shyly with the train's wheels, uncertain with compliments of his work]

...Enough so the turns are not too sharp...or it'll come off the rails...

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Probably where there won't be a risk of people stepping on it. So one of the Welcome Halls is probably out of the question, just to be sure.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

Conan said we could ask about the park...

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Oh, yes! The park would probably work.

[hadbadays]

[ This basically demands something that isn't texting because wow. ]

You built that?

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

[Hugo gives a short nod]

Yes.

[Video]

[hadbadays]

That is. Pretty amazing.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

[He bites the corner of his lip]

We don't know if it works yet.

[Video]

[hadbadays]

But you still built it. Not everyone can do that.

video; SHESUS sorry for being über!late my head is a lie

[castoffskin]

You have been much faster than I could have hoped. When will I be able to see it?

Nooo worries <3

[horlogerie]

I have not been doing anything else [He smiles crookedly]

You could come see it now, I am setting it up in the park.

You're such a Darl <3! TY

[castoffskin]

I hope that you remembered to eat, however? You appeared very eager, but there are limits to how far someone should go.

I shall be there shortly. Shall I bring something?

<333

[horlogerie]

[A shrug] I've eaten [Here he gets to eat more regularly than he does back in Paris]

Matches if you have any, I might run out.

[castoffskin]

You keep to reasonable wishes, I must say that I approve.

Are you satisfied with your work? ( and he's walking - even if you might not be able to tell if you aren't looking at the scenery )
