So I’ve been working on this for a few days to get my mind off sooooo many things.

[Anakin holds up his prosthetic arm and presses what must be a small button. Strings of LED lights following what would be muscle lines light up. They are red at first. He presses a button again and the lights start to change colors, rotating through the color spectrum.]

And I have this setting-

[Another press of the button and the lights flash in a pattern.]

And one more thing.

[He presses a different button and then he moves his arm. Every time he moves the arm or hand, the prosthetic makes robot noises.]

I’m ready for my next rave.

Sorry, that's what I meant with my last response.

Yes, I can do it, if you supply the parts.

[serpentinthegarden]

Oh...

[ He blinked awkwardly at the screen. ]

I thought you were making a joke --... the whole one-handed... thing...

[ Anthony cleared his throat as his rambling only seemed to make things worse. Moving on then! ]

Yea, I can do that. I have a guy who can get the parts. Should be too difficult for a taillight kit.

[darkforcerising]

I was, but I was also saying I could do it.

Let me know when you have the parts and I'll text you my address.

[serpentinthegarden]

Will do. Should be a few days to to get the right parts in.

[ A beat. ]

So... why did you chose to go disco on your arm?

[darkforcerising]

Disco is like the seventies.

This is EDM scene decor.

[serpentinthegarden]

Course it is.

[ Whatever the kids were calling it these days... ]

Still you have to admit most people wouldn't have thought to add lights to their arm.

[darkforcerising]

Most people don't have a prosthetic arm.

[serpentinthegarden]

Granted.

But if they did I doubt they would have come up with a DIY light show.

[darkforcerising]

I used to build and race motorcycles. Can't do that right now. Needed to get my tinkering fix somewhere, somehow. Work with what you've got and all that.

[serpentinthegarden]

You were on the racing circuit? Private or professional?

[ Oh how his smile did brighten. ]

I did a spot of racing, cars mostly, but I had a partner who did all of the tinkering.

[darkforcerising]

Pro. Until I joined the Air Force.

What kind of cars did you race?

[serpentinthegarden]

Amateur circuit. I drove whatever junkyard beast my friend could get running.

[darkforcerising]

Nice. Maybe someday I'll drive again. Don't really need to in NYC, tho.

[serpentinthegarden]

You don't need to, but it is fun. It would be hard to keep a car in the city. Just finding a parking space, woo! I don't know how people manage it.

Course... a big classic silver deal would be so tempting.
