“Eep!” Shinko was slightly surprised when the siren popped up, glancing up at it before looking down at the Repairman.

“Uh… we didn’t accidentally make a crack already, did we?” she asked with a sheepish smile.

As it turned out, Crystal was currently chatting up with Belial at the Akuma Cafe about Belial’s old flames.

“…you might have,” the Repairman mused, after taking a quick moment to figure out where the problem was. He smiled cheerfully.

“Guess now’s as good a time as any, huh?” he said, making his way towards Akuma Cafe, cart in tow.

She rolled her eyes. “Believe me when I say, I think they appreciate
the interruption. When I first got here, everyone was asking me
questions about who I was, where I came from, what I was created for…
makes a Toon girl feel a bit existential, ya know?”

Shinko let out
a small sigh before giving the Repairman a small smile. “Trust me,
they’ll be interested in you. And when you do finally swing by, I’ll try
my best to catch up to you as soon as I can so I can show you around!”

“Existential, huh?” he echoed. “Heh…Something tells me I’ll be there a few times, then!”

He winked at Shinko.

“…Better not hear of you intentionally breaking the Wall for lil’ ol’ me, though!” he joked. In truth, he wouldn’t have minded so much, just the one time.

Speaking of the Wall, his siren light suddenly popped up like the last surviving mole in an arcade. Apparently the Repairman was needed somewhere.

-random hug from Shinko! –

“–!” exclaimed the Repairman as he was suddenly pulled into an embrace. His eyes swiveled until he saw a familiar face.

“Oh, hey Shinko!” he said, hugging the girl in return. “How’s the new world treatin’ ya?”

“Oh, I can believe it,” he chuckled. Any kind of “hub” for someone’s creations was bound to be at least a little meta. Still, he was surprised that he only visited the one time. Or was he just not paying attention again…?

He snapped out of this line of thought as Shinko told more about the town. It actually sounded pretty nice from what he had heard.

“I have a feeling I’ll be going there sometime pretty soon,” he nodded, “so I’ll have to do that then… But will you know if I’m there? Is it a small enough town that you’d just know?”

Shinko pouted a bit, tapping at her non-existent chin.

“Well, it’s small…ish. But I think I can ask a few people to be on the lookout for you. They can text me if they spot you. Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch you if you visit! I mean, it’s not hard to miss a hard-working ink blob!” she giggled.

“Heh, yeah,” the Repairman chuckled. He felt a small bit of pride swell within him. He was hard to miss…Years ago, he would have prided himself on a lack of presence…how times changed!

He looked back up at Shinko.

“Well, I wouldn’t want to mess up everyone else’s workflow,” he said, uncertainly. Given his track record, that was likely to happen anyway, but still, he felt he should at least try to prevent that.
