Thread PL: 5,000 || Thread Items: Space Pod After school is Russ's favorite part of the day, he can leave the building and go home whenever he pleases and earn extra credit for his total grade if he chose to stick around. The extracurricular activities are a big reason this place drew him in, he can relax and have fun after hours of boring work. There is one activity that seized his attention the most and seldom others, it meshed nicely with his hobbies and it serves as a therapeutic stress-free little get-together to embrace his love for inventing.
Robotics Club is a place where like-minded individuals come in and create an assortment of robots to better the world or to fulfill a self-center goal as long as it doesn't detriment people around them. Russ's invention is in a state of eighty-percent completion, a cup-shaped contraption sat adjacent to a pile of metal, screws, glue and screwdrivers. A blueprint schematic of the project is laid out between the items with Russ quietly exchanging subsequent glances at his work and the paper to check if everything is where it belongs.
"Hmmm..everything is in order so far, I just need to implement the gas condensation isolator, make adjustments om the bacteria extractor and install a temperature clock, the C.U.P B-3000 is almost ready for testing" talking to himself, Russ picked up a screwdriver and pluck a screw inside on of the aforementioned parts, screwing it tightly on the base of the mechanical cup.
Carro had only just started his schooling at Orange Star a few days ago. The massive academy had proven to be overwhelming at times with just how many people seemed to be in every place at once- he could easily see why the school called itself the largest on Earth now. But even in spite of having so many different types of being running around, Carro had been feeling a bit like an outcast. Nevermind the fact that the majority were much taller than him and he'd almost been trampled a few times, but being one of the quiet kids it was hard for him to interact with anyone...
...So that was why he was here. He'd signed up to join the local robotics club, and was approved to start his first day in it after school. He could only hope there'd be some like-minded mechanics that would tolerate him here. But still, as he stood right outside the entrance after having paced around outside for a little over a minute, he still felt nervous. What if he didn't get along with these people and just signed himself up for a whole semester of uncomfortableness?!
A reassuring beep and boop resounded from behind Carro. Popping out of his backpack with a guest ID slung around his neck was his robotic companion, Bud. The little robot gave Carro a quick nudge to push him a bit closer to the door... Carro took one deep breath, and pushed the door open to enter.
"Hello?" Carro peeked in through the door. There was a blue-haired man working on something at a nearby table. "This is the robotics club meetup place, r-right? It's, uh, m-my first day." He nervously spoke, letting himself in after a few more seconds should he get an answer. This place sure looked like a robotics club now that he was inside, with all sorts of machinery all over the place. Bud looked around from where he was perched in Carro's backpack in awe and curiosity as the saiyan approached the table Russ was sitting at. "So, uh... w-what are you making?" Still feeling a bit out of his element and unsure exactly what to do, he tilted his head as he looked at the cup-like machine in front of Russ. "...O-oh, uh, I-I'm Carro, by the way! And this is Bud," He introduced himself and his robot with a meek smile, twiddling his thumbs anxiously while Bud let out a chipper beep.
Russ is far too entrapped in tunnel vision to attune for other students around him. Minimizing distractions are his main priority as every move the half Saiyan makes will affect his project for the foreseeable long term. Chatter, excitement, and murmur are lost in the wind as Russ picked up an electric screwdriver and drilled in the next bolt of screws holding down more slabs of metal.
The entrance pushed open in time Russ stopped using the screwdriver, a voice befitting a Saiyan of smaller stature entered the room claiming it's his first day. somehow Carro managed to make it difficult to drown out his presence like everyone else, likely because his curiousness gravitated him to Russ's table and that his companion has uttered unique noises in the room.
The blue boy took his eyes off of his work and exchanged looks with Carro. "So you're a new kid on the block huh? I'm Russ, welcome to Robotics Club" introducing himself a relaxed smile, his eyes shifted to the little robot picking its head out and is captivated by its design almost immediately, he is going to ask about its origin but the young boy's quarry needed answering first.
"What I'm making is going to change the way we survive on camping trips, say hello to C.U.P B-3000, a self refilling beverage cup so you'll never be thirsty outdoors ever again, Observe!" Russ pressed a button on the cup, steam of white gas exhaled from tiny holes inside the cup and filled the cylinder to the brim. The condensation isolator activated and the gas turned into a liquid, clean water is pouring out of the brim and spilling on the table, prompting Russ to turn it off before it gets worse. "Ehehe, I should've covered it with a top or designed a bigger cup but as you can see, freshwater pulled out of the moisture in the air, what do you think?" Russ moved the parts and project elsewhere on the table and wiped the puddle with a cloth.
