"Sounds like you've done plenty of work like this yourself. What do you like to make and modify?"

Aron chuckles. "Nah, man. New senior! But hey, I haven't even introduced myself!" He pulls the lad into a firm handshake. "Name's Aron. Aron Gunnarson. Transferring in from up country. Yours?"

Nora cracks a smile and raises an eyebrow. "A VHS tape? I'm not going to be killed in seven days by a Japanese ghost girl if I watch this, am I?"
She sobers and turns serious, taking the tape and putting it in her purse. She starts to gather up her cards. "I would like to learn from you, if you'd be so inclined."

Gabriel
"Drones, mostly. The occasional computer or game system mod. Sometimes I do stuff for Newvit High or take other commissions, but lately I've been practicing for the upcoming fighting game tourney."
Aron
"My country? I was born here, an- oh, you mean my name. I'm Fox."
Nora
"You're the fifth person to ask me that in the last few weeks. I don't particularly mind, I could let you run a few sessions as practice... but you'll find training under me more useful for growing your ability to sell your gift, rather than growing your gift itself," Mareena explains. She gestures to herself. "And I don't think the outfit would suit you... but you are welcome to work with me if you'd like."

"Fox! That's a pretty sick name, man." Aron nudges Fox on the shoulder playfully. "Listen, I need to get some last minute shopping done here for my first day at the school. Data stick for the ol' laptop and all. Mind stepping in there with me and letting me know if there's anything else I'll need real quick?"
Aron glances to the electronic store which Fox had been looking into, with a casual demeanour.

Nora shrugs. "I'll be honest, I don't particularly like the business aspect of fortune telling. But it would at least broaden my horizons and give me some practice, hm? Mind if I just stop by every now and then? I don't need a job, mind you- I have my internship at Vitcorp and full access to my own funds. But you are the first person I've ever met who... shares certain qualities with me, and I would just love to get to know you better. Kindred spirits and all that. I'm usually free most Saturdays."
Nora stands up.

Aron
"Um, I guess?" Fox says. "I need to pester Lisa about some stuff once she's done, though. Um... Data stick... And, uh, charger, maybe a mouse or something? I dunno, you'd be better off asking Lisa..."
Gabriel
The red-haired kid and the senior-looking one with hair that looks almost as crazy as yours come walking in together and head towards the laptop accessories.
Nora
"Goodbye, Nora. Stop by whenever you want some practice." She waves as you head out of her shop.
Nora and Mareena reached Relationship rank 2!

Aron smiles to himself -- seems he was worrying over nothing! This lad's got his head screwed on right.
"Thanks," he says as he walks in. "Hey, don't let me get between you and your own errands, yeah? If you get a chance to talk to Lisa just tap me on the shoulder and be on your way. Now let's see..."
He calmly looks over the USB sticks, not actually that concerned about what he gets. "...This one look good to you?" He holds up a random one from the shelf.

Well, guess I need a VHS player now... Do people really still use these things?
Nora gathers her things and leaves Mareena's hut, heading to the Electronics store to buy a VHS player.

Gabriel perks up at the mention of Newvit High School. "That's also the school I'm tranferring to. Are there any clubs there for electronics and programming?"

Gabriel
"You're a transfer student... That explains it. Yeah, we've got a computer club. A pretty awesome one."
Aron
"Um... Probably? I always just assumed the bigger numbers are better." Fox clearly does not know much about computers. "I mean I get that you only need so much, but it's not like it won't work from being too big?"

Gabriel
"Why I haven't seen you around before?" Lisa says. "If you're not a total newbie to the whole electronics thing I feel like I'd have at least bumped into you."

"I think we'll be bumping into each other a lot." Gabriel gives a sunny smile, with just a hint of smug mixed in. "So, when does the electronics club meet?"

Aron nods along with Fox's reasoning, seeming to like it. "Sure, 128 beats 64." He says decisively as he takes the most expensive piece. "Now..." He glances back and sees the conversation between Gabriel and Lisa looking like it's about to wrap up.
"I think you got someone to be pestering? I'll grab the rest of what ya' said and head out. Thanks, man, see ya' at school!"
