I know what you did last New Tick
Who: Billy Loomis, OTA
What: Arm Practice
Where: The Agrii Ship
When: During New Tick Part Two
Warnings: Billy Loomis
It took a frustrating amount of coordination to line the digits of his new arm up with the button to start with, and now Billy was working on maintaining the pressure needed to actually push the damn thing so he could 'enjoy' some protein paste. He wanted to hurl the damn bowl held in his good hand against the wall, but if he didn't learn the basics of making this prosthetic work then he was never going to be able to use his other gifts. And he very much wanted to make use of them.
He was doing all right when the pressure shifted, arm jolting against the machine and falling to the floor, rolling away while Billy kicked the base of the machine in frustration.
"...Can you hand me that?" he asked tensely.

What would Shiro do?
He shifted one of his crutches so he could bend down to pick it up. Then, held it out.
"I gotta hand it to you... you seem to be handling this pretty well."
Did he go there? Oh, he did. Probably not the best idea, and he was not Shiro. His delivery likely needed work.

"Funny. Haven't heard those ones before."

"Sorry... just a thing, I guess. My brother makes bad puns like that about his own arm. He's better at it." Keith was willing to admit when he was bad at something. In fact, he tended to say he was bad at things more often than not unless it was something he was absolutely sure he was good at.
"So, uh... need... need some help?" He stopped himself from asking if the guy needed a hand. Besides, Keith might be on crutches, but he could at least push a button.

"Just trying to get used to using this thing," Billy said, finally getting it back in place. He spared a short glance at the crutches, and though he knew very well why he was on them, he arched a brow, giving them a short nod. "What happened?"
no subject
"I'm guessing you heard about the fire in the Green section," he said. It wasn't like Leo had kept quiet about it, yelling over the network like he had. "One of the beams from the roof of that building came down on my leg."
But turnabout was fair play, yeah? He nodded back, indicating the guy's arm.
"What about you?"
no subject
Following the gaze, he supplied, "I got bit. During the whole zombie thing. Didn't wanna turn into one of those things, so..." Well, the end of that is pretty much evident, isn't it?
no subject
"Yeah, that makes sense..." he said. "I didn't think that kind of thing actually worked... like, it was just a thing in TV shows."

"Will you stop fucking around," he hissed, cheeks faintly hot. He didn't like how dependent this left him.

"Anyone could make a burger better than that," he grumbled, shaking his head. "No, I'm just trying to practice with this thing. I can't press a button with the thing yet, how am I supposed to do anything else?"
