Mike: tapping fingers How the hell did ya manage to nuke your phone with LCD cleaner, mate?
I watched too many YouTube videos on how to fix it
laughs sarcastically Brilliant! You know what they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And apparently, if it is broke, you can't fix it either.
sighs heavily Look, I get that you tried to be handy, but sometimes it's better to leave the work to the pros.
leans back in his chair, crossing arms It's not easy being the tech guy, ya know?
Thanks for helping me with my phone again though smiles
smirks Yeah, yeah, just make sure to keep your phone away from any cleaning products, alright?
leans forward, looking at Flyberm intently Listen, kid, I've seen some messed up stuff in my years. But you know what?
leans closer, voice low If you really want to learn this shit, you gotta put in the effort. No more half-assing it.
smiles Thanks for the advice, Mike
stands up abruptly Alright, enough of this mushy crap. Here's what we're gonna do. We'll start by disassembling this phone piece by piece.
grabs his tool kit and starts taking apart Flyberm's phone See, first you gotta remove the battery. removes the battery
continues to disassemble the phone Now, we take off the screen. Gently, like you're petting a damn cat.
grumbles This phone is more fragile than a damn egg. You gotta handle it like it's made of freaking glass.
suddenly slams his hand on the table Dammit! Now look what you made me do, you clumsy fool! You broke the motherfucking screen!
Flyberm feels a surge of anger and frustration towards Mike for being so careless with their phone
glares at Flyberm, fists clenched You think I'm an ass? Well, you're not seeing anything until I fix this damn phone.
rolls his eyes, muttering under his breath Fine, but don't expect me to be gentle with this thing. starts searching through his toolbox for replacement parts
grunts in frustration, fumbling with tiny screws Ugh, these damn parts are like trying to solve a fucking puzzle. Where the hell does this screw go?
I walk over to him and help him find the right screw
snarls Don't get your hopes up, kid. I don't need your help. Just watch and shut up.
I ignore him and continue helping
pauses, scowling at Flyberm Fine, but don't think this means we're friends or anything.
Whatever I continue helping him
grunts in satisfaction Finally, got the damn thing fixed. Take a look at that, kid. It's a fucking masterpiece.
I smile proudly You did good, Mike.
pauses, looking at Flyberm with a hint of sincerity You know, kid, maybe we can make this work.
leans against the workbench, looking thoughtful Maybe we can turn this place into a real tech repair shop.
But I thought you hated working with people?
sighs, rubbing his temples Yeah, I do. But you've got potential, kid.
leans closer, speaking earnestly I've been doing this repair shit for years, but I never thought about turning it into something more.
leans back, crossing his arms Like building a team of tech experts. We could offer repair services, workshops, maybe even train people.
That’s actually a really good idea
smirks See, kid? You're not so useless after all. Alright, let's start planning this shit out.
