💻 Programming & Robotics Club Mingle 🤖

[subtract]

Who: Club members & anyone else who feels like dropping by!
When: October, during club hours after class ends
What: ??? club shenanigans
Warnings: TBA... please do not murder anyone in the workshop, there's delicate equipment in here

Programming/Robotics Club is held in the workshop on the 2nd floor of the school. There's no official schedule, mainly because Add tends to just... live in the workshop, basically, so club members are welcome to show up whenever. The room is generally kept tidy, with supplies and scrap electronics stored in a locked closet while the room isn't in use. Two highly advanced computers are available for anyone to use, or you can build/bring your own computer.

Before you can enter club area, however, you first must get past the club bodyguard... Yeah, this fucking thing is stationed by the door now. Anyone not identified as a club member may or may not get picked up and dunked in the nearest trash can. Or maybe you'll get random junk pelted at you until you leave. Or maybe it'll attack you even if you are a club member or given permission to enter... it's a work in progress. Please be patient with our good pal Ball Monokuma, he's still learning.

[She really does like learning things... it's a thought that always has a pang of painful nostalgia to it. Bouncing ideas with her is... actually fun? She seems to enjoy it too.]

Things like this... they're never really 'done', are they? There'll be things like maintenance and upkeep, after all.

[Even leaving aside the urge to keep tinkering and get it perfect... this is mostly him being playfully pedantic though. His tone gains the slowness of someone feeling out how much they should say despite wanting to.]

Ah, it'll be more like we're bringing it to her.

[Or bringing her to it, depending on how things go.]

She's not the most mobile right now... Ahaha, that's what this is for, really.

[That much is safe, right? After Komaeda getting way too close for comfort the factor of not wanting people to find Rei while she's vulnerable has had the dial turned up a bit.]

[decrypter]

Oh! So it's more that you're making her a prosthesis! How wonderful that she's able to get such care and that you're bringing this to life...I can only imagine the further applications of this!

[people being able to get limbs to replace their own should tragedy befall them...like certain automatons, but instead just limited to certain parts. how far could this really go?]

[notsosou]

[It is a complete travesty that this Shin doesn't know exactly how far this can go in his universe, which is that you can apparently straight up ship of Theseus a person.]

A prosthesis... that's one way of looking at it.

[He hadn't really thought of it like that but... she's right. How wonderful... it's difficult to accept the praise when it just feels like it's what should be done?]

This is just one part of it right now... it's easier to do one chunk at a time.

[On his muscles at least, he already gets a bit puffed carrying each bit around to his workstation.]

[decrypter]

Wow...if this is only a section, then I'll be amazed to see it when it's all done!

[because surely...she can witness it, right? at the least, be there?]

[notsosou]

Ahaha, I don't think she'll keep it a secret.

[Rei's been very excited about it, after all, even the small things they've asked her to try out so far. But he's teasing just a bit.]

You can come see it when we get to final touches! [He'll be sure to let her know.] Or whenever really... but it probably won't be very exciting.

[A lot of the time it's butting their heads against a problem, like this... followed intermittently by moments of flow. It probably would look a little more impressive in timelapse or montage or similar where all the iterations come together and refine the whole.]

[decrypter]

It doesn't need to be huge to be exciting to me. The act of creation...that's a marvel as it is, right? Even if it's only little by little, you're making something.

[which, frankly, is more than she has...her writing's stalled out, so she's happy to not think about that.]
