Mécanisme 003 [Video]

[horlogerie]

 [Hugo sits on the floor of his room, his steam engine on the ground in front of him as well as his father's broad silver pocket watch that always keeps perfect time both sitting amongst a few odds and ends the likes of screws, gears, springs, and rudimentary tools like hammers.]

I make things and I fix things... [He gestures to the stuff in front of him, the train in particular which sits gleaming the length of a man's arm now that he's just finished polishing and painting it.] Back home- Back where I am from I fix clocks and I know how to make them. 

I want to do that here. I can make or fix almost anything if it is a machine, if it's got parts like these [He holds up a gear and a spring] But right now I don't have any money, so I can't buy more parts. I guess that means I can't really make things so much as fix them until I can afford to make them. Unless there's something you want and you've got the parts for it. 

[He swallows awkwardly, frowning at his things. He's not used to talking this much or this...publicly]

So...how do you start a business?

Well... You could if you really wanted to, but I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, it's sort of unprofessional and sketchy from a business standpoint.

Yeah, you know. Incriminating. Sort of weird.

You sound pretty legit to me, but some people in this city aren't as trusting!

[Hugo can't really blame people for being distrusting when he doesn't trust most people]

...then I don't really know what I am supposed to do...

I wish I could help you more. [ she sighs. ] But the only way I can think of is getting a loan, or...

[ she hums. ] Hang on. You said you can fix anything, right?
