[Action - Anywhere something can be fixed.]

[creepyfreezone]

*So since two of the people closest to Sky have been broken, and she can't fix them, she's been a bit more... active around camp. She hasn't named all the emotions running through that celestial bronze head of her's, but she doesn't like most of them. And since she can't help Leo and Dany... she'll just help everywhere else instead! She just doesn't know how to handle problems that don't have solutions.*

*Sky's fixing anything in the camp broken, that she can. She's got a little bit of carpentry skill, but mostly if it's metal and damaged, she's mending it. She's taken all the weapons from the armory and started sharpening and treating them. She's replaced a few weapons that were beyond repair, melting them down and making new weapons in the forge. She's started replacing broken parts in all the vehicles on the grounds. So don't be surprised if she's in your cabin fixing your things.*

[ He leans over to see for himself, and sure enough, all those parts are brand spanking new. It's a nice surprise to come to, and he looks at the engine with raised eyebrows, clearly impressed. ]

No. No, you did alright.

[ He wagers a glance at her. ]

But it looks like you got your pretty shirt all messed up.

[creepyfreezone]

That happens a lot. I still don't understand why people give me clothes I can't wear in the forges.

*She wiped her hands on the edge of her shirt and moved over to the passenger seat. Sitting down, her back was fine so she didn't have to worry about the seat getting dirty, she pulled the radio out and started adjusting the wiring and adding a small bit of celestial bronze into it.*

[untameimpala]

[ Hm. Well, if she's not concerned about it, neither is he. ]

So you're one of those forge kids - that why you're fixing her up? [ He asks, nodding at the car. ] You like cars?

[creepyfreezone]

Everyone's been all different because of the Ghosts. I figured I should do what I can around camp to make things better. And I can fix stuff.

*She rewires the radio a bit and puts it back in place. Points at the ignition and the engine rumbles to life. Then Sky turns on the radio and it works! No longer whiny static from the barrier around camp. She turns it down so they can keep talking.*

While I was asleep Dad caught me up on a lot of things in the world, but mostly he showed me lots of really cool vehicles. He really likes motorcycles and cars from the 1980s, but he showed me other things too.

[untameimpala]

Ghosts. [ Hmph. Don't remind him. ] I went looking for them not too long ago. Didn't find 'em.

[ He raises his eyebrows when Sky turns the car on. ]

Not bad, kid. Sounds like me and your dad would get along great. I can respect a guy who takes care of his cars.

[creepyfreezone]

I hope that means they're gone, so my brother and sister are better.

*She's so hopeful, isn't it cute.*

He said that he was better with machines than people. So he's very good with all the things he makes or restores. He finds human creations very amusing, he likes some of the... aesthetics.

[untameimpala]

[ Unfortunately, just because he hadn't seen them didn't mean they weren't still there. There's still rumors floating around, anyway, and he'd hate to break it to her, so he doesn't. ]

Oh, well if he likes curb appeal, look no further. Got the prettiest girl in camp, right here. [ He grins, gesturing at the Impala. ] I'm guessing you take after him, huh?

[creepyfreezone]

*Sky will just... look confused, as she doesn't really see how a car can have gender.*

Well, there are a lot of things about humans I still don't understand. So... for the moment machines are certainly easier.

[untameimpala]

[ She's confused? What about Dean? ]

If you're not human, what are you? Nymphs aren't very fond of cars, last I checked. [ Especially not guzzlers like this one. ]

[creepyfreezone]

*Normally Sky would answer with words, but given Dean knew something about cars, he might appreciate a visual example. Sky swung out of the car and presented her left arm, ran her finger over it, and the skin parted in two flat panels revealing an intricate celestial bronze array of false muscle and bone under her skin. Intricate, delicate, and very mechanical.*

Nature spirits don't like cars? Why not?

[untameimpala]

[ His mouth forms a small O as she shows him the mechanics in her arm. ] You're an automaton. Cool. Hephaestus made you?

[ He rolls his eyes at the nature spirits. ] Something about 'em being "bad for the environment". [ Scoff. ] As if this baby's could damage the environment. If anything, she makes everything around her look better. And I like to think I can make up for anything "bad" when I take out those monsters.

[creepyfreezone]

Yes! *So much easier than explaining.*

Oh. Well... it does produce some rather damaging emissions, but the damage can be reversed. At least, with the right technology... I could probably increase the fuel efficiency. *Notebook, notes, ideas for how to make things better.*

[untameimpala]

Not bad, kid. Not bad.

And how would you do that, exactly? [ He likes his car, and this is interesting; so sue him. ]

[creepyfreezone]

My name isn't Kid, it's Sky.

Well, I used ordinary metals for the new parts. Certain parts... if I replaced them with enchanted metals should allow for less... wear, and the engine should work more efficiently.

*She looked a bit uneasy as she thought about it.*

...There are other ideas, but I would need to test them out in the forges first. As I don't have any memories of it working.

[untameimpala]

Sky. Nice name.

[ Yep, he likes this kid. ]

You mean like celestial bronze? [ He considers that for a moment. ] It only takes a little to modify something like a gun. Can't be much harder than that to modify a car. [ What does he know? ] But I think I'd prefer my car not being a guinea pig.

[creepyfreezone]

My brother gave it to me after he found me. Hephaestus... forgot.

*Her father is like that.*

With something like an engine or a gun, it's a matter of what you modify. Some of the smaller pieces have more impact if they're enchanted. I would need to do some tests, scale models. It'll be fun!
