[ It's Kaiba. Somewhat unusually, he's in the greenhouse car, watching as a small apple...? Lizard? The friend-shaped creature (bottom right) is about the size of a cantaloupe and bravely crawling through the grass, the oversized apple bobbing up and down as she does so. ]

It's been a while. I have two quick announcements.

[ He scoops her up so the ICP can see her face. ]

The first is that this is Snapper. She's my Pokémon, not a fruit, and absolutely not edible. I'll make you pay if you try it.

[ Cough. He sets her in his lap, where she flops down to snooze almost immediately. ]

The second is that I've built wiring and circuitry practice kits with accompanying lesson plans. I made them for Orange, since we're usually stuck with the most repair work, but I thought I'd offer the training to everyone. I know there's probably not much time until the next mission, but even the basics are better than nothing if you're so inclined.

That's it. [ One last nod and he shuts it off. ]

I never get tired of hearing that.

.... Oh, right, the kits! I'll take one. Learning never stops, even when you're grown-up.

All right. It's taking time to build up the supply, so I have a smaller spare...think you can handle delicate work?

[ Gentle teasing. He knows she can. ]

I'll start you on the more advanced lessons. Not quite building a rocket, but close.

Well, to be fair, it's not like I was out building rockets or even planes before... And it took me years...

[blue_ice]

All right. I'll show you a few projects, you choose what you're interested in. There's one that can be used as a light decoration for your room, I believe...a simple wire-tripping alarm, a small metal detector, and a toaster oven.

... Is there a way to combine all that in one? A decoration that alarms, detects, and makes delicious pastries?

[ della, no. ]
