Apped in rubycity_rp! A little voice testing before I venture forth.

Jiminy jaminty, ma'am, just relax! You've got just a few more hours to go before they start going over everything! You've been chomping at the bit all week. I don't think we have anything to worry about.

Aside from the obvious....I'm not so sure about this no extra lives thing.

By the way, there's some other fellas in here who might like to be heard - just trying to give 'em a hand here!

I'm sure you'll be just fine, Felix! And how nice of you to give others a chance!

[nicelandmaintenance]

Well, hi there, Princess!

[He removes his hat as any gentleman should when addressing a lady!]

I sure hope you're right. I've heard stories from the others about this place. But just like any game hopping! If you're dead, game over!

There's a lot of guys and gals up here without a home. Always nice to try and give them a shot, you know?

[onebadapple]

Hello, Felix! [She giggles.]

Oh now, you mustn't give up hope, and you must be extra careful then! We wouldn't want anything bad happening to you.

Yes, it most certainly is nice! I hope all of you find a very nice home!

[nicelandmaintenance]

Don't worry about me, Ma'am. I think I'll be just fine, as long as I get home in the end. I'm sure there'll be a lot of folks there who need help fixing any number of things!

[onebadapple]

And fixing things is what you do best.

[kingofnightmares]

[Oh goodness, he's so bright. AND HAPPY LOOKING. Have a tall skinny man looking down at you Felix.]

Extra lives? People don't normally have extra lives.

[gorgonfondness]

Mundanes are always nervous about apps. Miss Mun still gets that way even after everyone that's passed through here.

Extra lives? How would you-?

Oh! Miss Mun says my game isn't the sort that gets extra lives. We use revival items instead. Do you think you might get something like that?

[nicelandmaintenance]

That it is. [He tips his hat, now back on his head, with a warm smile.]

[nicelandmaintenance]

[And you're very tall, dark and ominous looking! Not that Felix is deterred or even afraid. He's seen some pretty intense things in the arcade. He smiles.]

Oh, no no, it's not like that! Y'see, you're right, normal people don't have extra lives, but that's how the programming works! As long as you stay in your own game.

[He was warned he'd meet people who weren't from video games.]

[nicelandmaintenance]

Hello, Ma'am - I don't think we've met before. [He tips his hat.] I think it's less that Miss Mun is nervous and more that she's jumpier than an A Button. Excited to get into the whole mess.

Not sure how I feel about it, but I'll do what needs to be done!

Revival items? Hm. [He looks thoughtful.] Well, if I get injured I can fix that up myself in a jiffy. I guess we'll find out!

[gorgonfondness]

That we haven't. I'm Mia. From the game Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. [She scratches her head.] Sorry if I seem awkward. I'm usually not so self-aware of my medium.

Ah, but excited can include nervous. In any case, they're both a sort of stress.

You are a sort of healer, then? I suppose that makes sense with a name like Fix-It Felix, Jr.

[nicelandmaintenance]

Mia, it's a pleasure. [Here, he does take off his hat with a smile.] Being aware that you're in an arcade game is just a part of life where I'm from. My game cabinet is in an arcade, actually.

[He considers the healer comment for a moment.] Weeelll...sort of. I'm more of a repairman. [He pats the hammer at his hip.] I usually fix the apartment building my friend Ralph wrecks - that's the name of the game! But I can fix people up too, so I guess, yeah, in a way.

[gorgonfondness]

Likewise, Felix. [She responds with a ladylike bow.] I wonder if that makes a difference since my game was never in an arcade. It's always been released on consoles.

Goodness, I'm surprised I'm not completely tired of seeing repairmen at this point. The end of my game leaves my city a pretty big mess.

.....why does your friend wreck the building?

[nicelandmaintenance]

Well, if I could get to your city, Miss Mia, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand.

But Ralph wrecks the building because he's angry. They moved him off his land and built the apartment building there - the contractors claimed imminent domain. He's got a bit of a nasty temper, Ralph. But he's a good fella.

[gorgonfondness]

Oh, you don't have to worry about that. With the way Miss Mun plays me, it's been years since that happened and Vane's been rebuilt. The Magic Guild roof doesn't even leak anymore. Unless you can somehow get the city to fly again, it's pretty much back to what it was before.

Wow... I'd have a nasty temper if that happened to me, too. Especially if someone tried now after everything is finally repaired.

[freakymayor]

Woah woah, where are you off to now?
