For those that might be interested, I have through considerable effort figured out how to tweak these devices into allowing the display of color video and images beyond sepia.

[There is a steady tap tap tap, like a claw on metal.]

Which I would demonstrate, save that this is a physical change to the device and requires me to put in several very small items to function. Thus if you have interest in seeing each other in color, I can be found at the Second Time's The Charm shop, which sells these communicators, for the next several days. Make an appointment. As I am generous, I will not charge for my considerable time and efforts in this, though I will not refuse donations. You will have to turn your device over to me for a bell or so, there's no way around it. If you refuse, you may purchase another, I can update that one, and you may turn in your old one for recycling.

Technically I can't refuse anyone who asks for my aid. But if you are rude, violent, or otherwise not on good behavior something unpleasant may happen to your device while my talons are in its guts. Try to at least feign civility.

[OOC: The first watch update is here, IN LIVING COLOR. Lahabrea absolutely must get his hands on a watch in order to upgrade it. While this interaction can be handwaved!! you may also come visit Lahabrea and have it done in person for delicious CR! He won't refuse anyone, and he'll take into account rude people at least making an effort at being polite. Upgrades are freeeee! Make an appointment (in this thread or inboxes or etc I don't mind~) and come get your color upgrade!

Although he didn't mention it in this notice, he's willing to teach others how to do this as well, so other people can do upgrades! If you're interested, find an excuse to ask him! I welcome any and all assistance; the more hands I get the faster I can do future upgrades too!]

[ Meanwhile, Reno doesn't put much thought into what arrogance he spews. Though if his words were to be brought back to him, he wouldn't back off from a challenge. Right now, he simply sees an opportunity— to bite into a skillset few possess. Especially few of the Mirrorbound kind; to network with someone capable to figure it out by themselves.

Knowledge and connections, two things that matter the most when in a new place. Granted, after so many months, it's hard to consider it "new". But it's still not his own. ]

Then I'll head over there! [ He gives the clerk a tiniest salute and skulks around into given direction. Mr. Lahabrea, huh? That spares some of the introductions and is better than the 'username'. ]

Yo— I'm here for the upgrade [ The harpy drawls a casual greeting. Not making a move to take the enchanted goggles off his face ] Are you nocturnal? It's pretty late to keep working.

[It's possibly even a lucrative venture; just because Lahabrea's working without charge doesn't mean others have to! Sooner or later surely he'll run out of patience or interest, having the skills to manage it in other hands was nothing but a clever idea.

When it's clear that the harpy is here for upgrades and not for a new case or charms or fancy new straps, Lahabrea beckons lightly with one hand.]

I am not, but my sleeping schedule is ... fairly flexible.

[The setup he has now is slightly different from what he's been presenting others with; Reno said he was interested in learning, not merely dropping a watch off and leaving, so he's set out more tools, an opened watch, and several other smaller objects that are probably useful in some fashion.

There's a long moment of consideration before he pulls from under the table a small box, which he sets out.]

There are claw caps in this box. Talons are useful tools, no reason to not employ them. If you have any instincts related to thievery or hoarding, pray advise me of it before I bring out anything which may tempt them.

[It doesn't sound targeted, not really, more a blanket concern that anyone would be subject to.]
