"Huh, that sounds interesting?"

"I had a robot to keep track of things for me, which helped a lot."

"Seems handy."

"Yeah, I miss it. I wouldn't be able to upgrade it anymore but I think it'd probably still work for a pretty long time without maintenance, if I could get home."

"There are some heads up displays you could probably get by with?"

"I guess that'd be worth looking into if I were expecting to go into combat but I think either Nikki was or I have brought with me a balance disorder which I was solving with tinkertech at home so I really shouldn't get into combat situations here."

"Huh, that sounds unfortunate - I wonder if there's an esper who can fix that."

"I wouldn't know. Probably there are biotinkers who can but the only biotinker I knew was a pharma guy and it was not his core competency."

"I think there's an esper who can probably handle it? It's totally pretty much impossible to get an appointment with them unless you have something extremely serious, but if you need to be healed to run dungeons I think that'd bump you to the top of the waiting list."

"I don't feel nearly oriented enough to the situation to promise to run dungeons! Either the situation of dungeons or the situation of being in a new body with a new power! Besides, if enough of my previous body was found it should still have all the implants in it, and I was strictly non-bio, so the implants will work the same way if I dig them out of there and stick them in here, I'll be fine to balance like a normal person if I ever get to go home."

"Makes sense. What sort of things did the pharma tinker do?"

"He patched people up when we got hurt - legit healing powers are vanishingly rare but powers that can be turned in that direction there's a fair few - and he made a bunch of things that would let him and other people react faster or fight through pain or whatever. Called himself Miracle Max after the character in the Princess Bride."

"Huh, no disease cures?"

"Nothing you could mass-produce. Counters to biotinker villains sure."

"That's a really frustrating limitation on inventing powers."

"Wasn't the most fun, yeah."

Eventually Lucien remembers that they were going to order pizza and people should settle on toppings.

"I have no idea if my food tastes will have changed. At least before I was a pepperoni girl."

"Neither of us eats pepperoni, unfortunately."

"Whatever you're having is probably fine if it's not pineapple."

"Aw!" 

In that case they will end up with mushrooms on half and a variety of vegetables on the other half. And also a garlicy bread side.

Lorica tentatively reports after trying a slice of each half that her tastes are at least basically similar.

"Sounds easier that way."

"What? I would definitely want to try a new tongue." Lia says, barely flirting at all.
