 V iden's workshop. Ready for just about anything that might roll in. Don't touch anything though, or you might just find limbs forfeited. Mechanists... If you come in expecting me to fix anything weapon related, you got another thing coming! Probably a a**-kicking...

 〖Viden Sethlans〗
-Handyman-
Groggy... So bloody.... Groggy... Needed to find... Seltzer.... Viden tumbled out of bed like he did every time he got blitzed out of his gourd at one of the bars. Rising from the floor, he took a hand to his eye and rubbed it, trying to get that sensation of numbness out, only to find a higher pain hiding away... "Hahha! Ow..... What did I.." Stumbling around in his boxers, and nearly tripping on a piece of clothing he probably abandoned last night, he flipped on the light in his bathroom and found out he had a atrocious black eye. "Oh.. I...." He paused, his head still trying to snap into place about his injury. Then the thought popped in. "Need a ice pack. And clothes... Huk! *Cough.*" The man stepped away again and quickly slammed his shambled head through a shower, shave, and dressing. He just wanted to hit the bed, but clients needed help if they showed up. Stepping into his open workplace, he shuffled to his computer and opened his emails. Viden grumbled as he went through them. "Spam... Spam... Inventory delivery, osmodifier cells, hydrogen tanks, spatial condensers, bobble head (since the last one got melted)... OK.. Any clients...?" Viden's brow furrowed, then it got deeper as he clicked on a particular mail. "R.. Raven? Now...? Really? Son of a..." Viden opened his desk and pulled a few caffeine tabs out. Drinking this coffee would take too long to coke up and deal with this damn problem. After they were down, he stepped away from his table to get his heat-proof suit.

 〖Viden Sethlans - Raven Infiero〗
-Handyman - Warrior-
A few heavy slams rung out from his garage door. Looked like he was here already... "Dammit... Give me a moment!" Viden then gave a little hustle out to the door and opened it up. Outside was Raven, standing patiently next his motorbike, scraping his claws against themselves. He turned to Viden and gave him a confident nod. Viden, utterly deflated, nodded back. "Get inside." Raven rose a eyebrow and rolled the bike inside, questioning him as he passed. "What's the matter?" Viden slammed the door shut behind him. "Whats the matter is that you thought I didn't need a week notice before you came over, you thick idiot." Viden walked back to Raven who had a slightly offended face at this point and tapped him on his arm. "I know told you to come back soon, but I need to prepare for your damn easy bake arm. Not to mention if you came over while my family was over I'd be blackballed so damn hard that I'd out of business the next day. Put your arm in the harness." Viden then stepped away and press the toggle on a wired remote, and a pair of black chain loops fell from the ceiling to Raven's level. Raven sighed, a little plume of smoke leaving him as the crow familiar vented from his arm, spurred into existence by Viden's voice. As Raven moved from his bike to the chains, the bird flew over to the pale man and started bouncing on his shoulders as he shuffled through his tools. "Sorry, I'll do my best to inform you earlier, but I'm still trying to get used to the adjustments you made to my arm. It's... Difficult, at times... It used to be based on pure emotion, but now there is a technical level to it I didn't expect to have..." Viden sighed back at Raven, not capable of being angry at him, even with his hangover. He came back to Raven who was now secured in the chains, toolbox in hand. Viden started working, looking at the various attachments and making sure everything was still in their right place. The bird was still bouncing on him "Yeah, yeah... Get your stinky bird off of me. Smells like sulfur." Raven gestured at the bird with his other arm. "Rook, enough, come." The little bird nodded and jumped back to Raven's shoulder, where he took on a calm demeanor. Viden was then finally able to focus. "Let me see...."
"Any odd dreams? Muscle spasms? How about your 'feather' growth? Are they coming in like they're supposed to?" Raven nodded. "Yes, but they are a bit lighter in color than usual. Nothing wrong with my muscles, and no odd dreams." Viden plucked a single black scale from Raven and observed it. A little grey. "You're right... I don't know if it's the demonic soul going leaner on you since we placed this inhibitor on.. But keep a eye on it, we don't know if this could permanently hurt you or not. But as for everything else, it all seems solid. Bio-mesh and the plating made from your black scales has fused properly, heat had been properly restrained, and the jet placements seem to be holding up. Wait.. Have you been eating differently?" Raven shook his head. "Well then we could probably rule out it being nutrition based. Now let's pull out that core." Viden reached under the forearm plate of Raven's arm, and pulled out a solid pillar swirling with a dark heat. "Yeah, seems to be holding everything alright, how do you feel after I pulled it out?" Raven's breathing got a little heavier,and his head went low. "L-Like you just took the collar off... Feels like the fire is rising again... Could you..." Viden nodded and quickly put it back in. "Okay, so it seems to be holding well. You remembering to vent it every so often?" Raven was seeming better after the core was put back in, even Rook was looking a little winded though from just the moment before. "Yes. Heat dispersal is controlled, but it takes about an hour." The man nodded and pulled a chair up to sit down on on contemplate. "Seems about right considering how much you're burning off, we should just be happy we can burn it off. How do you feel?" Raven shrugged, unsure as to what be feeling. "I can't say the same. Over the few years I've had this arm, I've been feeling calmer then how I was before. I haven't felt... That side rise out of me in a while..." Viden stood up from his chair. "Good, good. I managed to make some monitors for me to put onto you that won't burn up if I put them on, keep track of your arm. Sound good?" Raven didn't know how to feel about that, but he trusted Viden somehow. Trust wasn't easily given from Raven, but he was doing his best for Viden's sake. One of the people to have really helped him in all of his life. "Go right ahead, I know you'll use it right." Viden moved the cigarette from one corner of his mouth to the other, then went to his toolbox. "Alright."
As the mechanic worked the sensors on, he start a little conversation. "How's Naomi?" Viden felt a little shudder leave Raven's body, and his arm got noticeably cooler. "We... We broke up a few years back." Viden's face tightened a bit, and he pressed another sensor in. "Ah.. oh jeez... Sorry to hear that man." Raven shook his head. "No, it's fine. I'm fairly certain we were just using each others bodies was all. Besides, she brought me back into death city, where you helped me find a more permanent solution for my arm. Things went the way they should of." Viden paused, glancing at Raven, then put the last sensor in. "It's done."

-Handyman - Warrior-
Raven looked to Viden then back to his arm. Just broke out of a slight trance, being put into his memories like that. "Can I pull it from the harness?" Viden was already walking away, waving his hand at him to come over to his computer. Raven pulled his arm from the chains, and a few metal scales snapped into proper positions, sparks flying out and sharp grinding metal noises going out. Joining Viden at his screens, he had pulled up several status screens, each highlighting different parts of Raven's arm. "This is the by the millisecond play by play of your arm currently. Now this isn't for repair purposes, because as it stands your arm is something indestructible in nature, and beyond that repairs to any small flaws are also purely autonomous. It's to maintain proper heat level, making sure you clear things out before they hurt you, or most likely, those around you. It also lets me know and you know if any mutations surface, just because we did this, doesn't mean it'll stay down." Viden brought up another screen, this time displaying the core. "Now this, this right here will let you know about the core, and I know that we went over this, but we need to review this, badly." Viden looked at Raven, giving him a grave stare before switching the side of his cigarette to the other corner of his mouth again. "Now, when you see the meter fill up, you need vent, and quickly, and I don't mean in the middle of a fight, either. When you're fighting, the core is capable of holding back your bloodthirsty wavelength, but it fills over time, and once it's full, you need to leave, stop fighting, and press the wavelength out peacefully like you normally do." Raven looked at his dark arm, inspecting the long core in within. Amazing, Viden really was, making all of this... "Now, if you don't... The core will be likely to burst, releasing the bloodlust inside of yourself and basically you'll go full demon. It'll be pretty bad. If it gets to this point, you need to eject the core and throw it. And I mean far, cause that thing'll go nuclear after a certain point. At that point, your wavelength will flow as it normally would, and if you're not careful, you'll go at least half-bake demon at worst." Raven paused, realizing something during this short lecture. "Okay... I understand all of this, but how do I know if my core is almost full?" Viden pressed on one of the plates on Raven's arm, and a small red holographic display lit up over it, the exact same on Viden's computer. "There you go, and this isn't the good part though. Remember these?" The pale man placed his hand on the shells on Raven's upper arm. "Ah... I do, but you didn't tell me anything about them." Viden smiled. "That's because we couldn't do anything with them before. Y'see, your arm will naturally make two over time and reload them, one, however, needs to be replaced by me. The sensors I installed will allow you to fire them out from the center of your palm, they take a little more precise numbers than just your senses, otherwise they'd explode in your hand instead of properly firing. But what the senses also do is give me a heads up if you go hot, because the last shell is a remotely detonated capsule of cryogenic cement foam. It'll do three things, spread over you, cool you, then stop you."
Raven stopped, realizing what it meant, then quickly hugged Viden. "You finally gave me the insurance I was looking for, Viden! Thank you, thank you so much!" Then a small crack rung out. Viden was dead. Or at least the sensation in his legs nearly. "GAHGAHAHAH, I GET IT I GET IT, NOW PLEASE STOP BREAKING ME LIKE A RUSSIAN WOULD." Raven then finally put the man down, smiling still, tears coming out of his eyes almost. Viden, however, was hunched over his table. "So... Yeah... If you go bad, I can release the foam remotely, stopping you, literally, cold, also literally. Ow..."

"Well then.." Viden began, pushing off of his table to crack his back back into place. "That's about it." He popped open a drawer in his desk and pulled a few things, keys, wallet, eye drops, and then a second key, just by itself. Viden threw the key to him. "Here, you can work on your bike, wash up, make a sandwich, whatever, when you leave, lock up behind you, and you can keep the key. You can come in at the dead of night that way, since you aren't supposed to be seen coming in here..." Viden contemplated about how this whole situation came to be as he walked over to his garage door. Because he could tell...? That Raven was a good guy, that was. Viden sttod by the rules that resided in the family, no soul modification tech, but this was definitely a different case. Raven didn't have a choice, either bound himself to a mountain and waste away, or be around people and give everyone around him a rough fourth of a chance to survive. Viden knew the choice he would make. It made him slightly grateful the Naomi brought him around. No way in hell you would have seen Viden climbing mountains anytime soon. If it weren't for her, Raven would have probably still been up on that damn volcano, probably getting mentally worse and finding a way to turn kishin. The pale man shuddered at the thought. Viden was certainly doing something right, helping Raven. Wouldn't really matter to his family, though. Some of them were looking for ways to get him off the family record since his rebellion in his childhood. If they found out, he'd be gone. "I'm going to go do some errands, you don't go die before now and when I see you next, okay?" Raven, holding the key in his normal hand, looked at it, then gripped it tightly. "Understood." Viden paused at his garage door, then turned to Raven. "Understood? I'm not your C.O. kid. See you round."
