Technical difficulties

I decided it was finally time to open the sparkly duckling, and I also decided that instead of diamonds I would have them write IOU's.

I flew over to the purple rubber duck and wrote in the books that an IOU is to be written.

Ren walked in.

"What's up SB?" He greeted.
"Ahhh nothin much but just came to add the finishing touches to my shop before
opening it." I answered.
"So what exactly is this shop?" He asked.
"It's sorta a prank shop... hermits can come and request a degree of glitter bomb to be brought upon another hermit." I added.
"Ahhh so your kinda like a hit man but with glitter. Sounds cool and what do each of the levels do?"
"Each color is a different level. Purple being the lightest basically like what we did to Doc. While red will just be glitter dumped all over the targets base. My personal favorite is yellow level... basically for that level I just deliver a small bag of glitter everyday for a week to their base... harmless but amusing watching them get confused as to who keeps giving them glitter."
"Nice"
I saw Joe Hills approach the shop.
"Howdy there SB! Nice shop you have" I heard Joe say as he entered.
"I quite like that you are not charging for diamonds. As they are evil things." He said in his strangely optimistic voice as always.
"Uhhh ok..."
"Well anyways I'm here to purchase a strike on iJevin. For he has caused this mess of anti diamonds." He added
"Ok any level in particular you were thinking of?" I asked excitedly.
"Anything just give him the worst you've got" I smiled evilly as he said that.
"Alrighty then Joe, just leave the IOU with your name on it in the chest and write the name of the person you want glitter bombed on a name tag, next to the IOU." I said still smirking.
"Sounds good. thanks SB." He said leaving the store.
"Uhhh SB what's up with that grin... it's a little creepy." Ren said nervously.
"Oh don't worry Ren. Im just visioning the amount of sparkly chaos that will be dumped on this Jevin's base." I responded.
"Oh ok."
I quickly grabbed multiple containers of glitter of all different colors, the map Tango had given me when I first got here and an invisibility potion. I quickly flew over to jevins base.

When I got near, I saw a blue slime man who was AFK. I assumed this was the Jevin, Joe was talking about. I took the invisibility potion and landed very quietly. I opened the glitter and started throwing handfuls everywhere.
There wasn't a single surface that didn't have glitter on it.
As I was leaving I poured an entire container on the blue slime, that's gonna be a pain to clean off...

The best part is that Tango has no idea about my obsession with glitter yet....
I flew back to the shopping district amused with the job well done. When my communicator went off.
<iJevin> uhhhh why am I and my base covered in what appears to be glitter???? Grian?
<Grian> for once it wasn't me...
<iJevin> ok then...
<XisumaVoid> glitter you say?
<SharkBait> and this is a problem why?
<iJevin> because I was afk and came back to my entire base and my self covered in glitter... I'm not mad about it just confused by it.
<SharkBait> huh weird...

I chuckled at my antics. Of course I knew why but I'm not gonna admit it... wait I should probably leave a note saying that so and so requested a glitter bomb. That way I can't get in too much trouble. I scribbled "this glitter bomb was brought to you by JoeHills..." hey I never said I would leave them anonymous...
I flew back before the potion wore off and threw the paper at him.

<iJevin> thanks Joe...
<iJevin> -_-
<iJevin> well that's unfortunate. I'm now forever sparkly... well joe I guess I got what was coming to me.
<GoodTimesWithScar> remind me to never get on Joe's bad side.
<JoeHills> your welcome jevin!

On my way back to Tango's I stopped to grab the IOU from joe to store away for a later time.

But just as I was grabbing it my cyborg arm started to spark... and then lost power.
"Well that's not good..."
I struggled typing for a moment as I only had one useable hand..
<SharkBait> heya Doc... my arm just started sparking... before powering off completely and I'm clueless on how to fix it... if it's not too much to ask could you help please...
<Docm77> sure thing! Just tell me where you are
<SharkBait> I'm in the shopping district out side the purple duck.
<Docm77> ok omw
<TangoTek> I'm flying over too
<SharkBait> k

I waited and saw both Doc and Tango arrive. Tango had a look of worry to him. While Doc's was more of just his normal expression.
"So can you move your arm at all?" Doc asked
"nope..."
"Hmmm. That makes things a little bit more complicated... do you mind if I look inside at the wiring?"
"Sure..."
He approached my arm and found a panel that could be removed, so he removed it.
"Hmmm looks like a wire exploded... I'm gonna call over iskall his eye has more modifications then my eye and he will be able to identify the issue much quicker." He added.
"SB has this ever happened before? Did you never have mechanical issues from where your from?" Tango asked his eyes showing concern.
"Nothing more than what a simple re set couldn't fix." I answered him
"Oh ok then so This is a First."
"SB are there any secret compartments, battery ports, or power ports I should be aware of?" Doc asked.
"Uhhh yeah... one power port. And one secret compartment..." I answered.
I used my normal hand to point out the power port. And Unscrewed the palm of the hand to reveal the compartment hesitantly. Because that compartment holds a locket...

Iskall arrived.
"Wait you Never pulled out a communicator how could you possibly tell him?" I asked confused.
"That's because the two of use don't need communicators our eyes are one." Iskall said
"Interesting."
"So now what seems to be the problem?" He asked.
"My Arm started sparking then powered off completely."
"I suspect I faulty wire..." Doc added.
"Ok I'm gonna scan it now so hold still."
"Soo it's actually a combination of three things..." Iskall spoke up.
"First yes Doc, the main wire has exploded."
"Secondly, when was the last time the main circuit board was updated?" He asked
"Uhhh probably never..." I answered.
"Oh boy..." both Iskall and Doc sighed.
"And the third issue is the ventilation system is clogged..." he added.

"So this is gonna take a while to fix, first I need to see if I have a spare circuit board of that model or something similar to it. The ventilation system should be and easy fix soo I'll do that quickly. And thirdly Doc and I are gonna need to find that size wire." Iskall said calmly.
"Tango... were gonna have to borrow her to be able to fix it... as it may take a couple of days to tweet out the bugs and or viruses that come with updating or replacing the main circuit board..." Iskall spoke quietly.
"ein paar was jetzt. Du meinst es ernst ..." I spoke shocked.
"Yes we're serious, and yes this could technically take up to a week if were unlucky..." Doc responded.
"gut machen, was nötig ist" I muttered.
"Oh... so what I'm hearing is that this is a big problem and could take up to a week to fix..." Tango said his voice filled with concern.
"Tango I'll be fine I have trust in Doc and Iskall that they know what their doing." I said to calm Tango.
"I know, it's just that I made a Promis to Xisuma to make sure you stay safe..." he said quietly.
"Tango you've known these two far longer than I have, I think you can trust them. And my arm malfunctioning is out of your control anyway. How were any of us supposed to know this would happen." I explained.
"Okay.." he said defeated.

Time skip (brought to you by, Tango worrying.)

It's been about 2 days since my arm broke, Doc and Iskall had been working on and off it.
"Heya SB I'm gonna try turning it on now that the new parts have been placed in." Doc said.
"K"
"And while it's booting up I'm gonna be scanning it for and bugs or viruses." Iskall added.
For the first time in two days my arm had power.
"Seems to be all good. Nothing has appeared yet. Could you try moving it?" Iskall said relieved. I moved my arm.
"Well seems to running smoothly. Your good to go." He said happily.
"Thanks for helping with it. Means a lot to me." I said happy that my arm was now working again, but also yawning. As I hadn't slept in two nights...
"Your Welcome. Just let us know if you experience any more difficulty's though." He said.

I headed back to toon towers to get some rest.
"Soo yours arms all fixed?" Tango greeted me.
"Yep." I yawned.
"Alrighty then go an get some rest now." He said with relief.
