[ Neil is... actually right around the pool where the symbol connected to Project Jump rests. Certainly doesn't look dressed for taking a swim. ]


Soooo... hey. Quick question.

Anyone else tried that stupid machine? It take any longer, shorter? No one's lost a limb or anything, right? Or ear, or pinkie, or...

[ He shakes his head. ]

Just. Y'know. Curious.

EDIT, SEVERAL HOURS LATER:

Sent my smaller robot. He's in one piece, and went pretty quick!

So you are saying I should try it, then.

[video/action]

[feastorfamine]

Yeah, sure, and I'll be waiting to chew you out.

[and a few hours later, Amy is at work, coming down to do one of the scheduled checks on the machine. Neil hasn't shown yet, and she's figured he was just bluffing]

[hotshots]

[ SUDDENLY! Project Jump activates! In an instant, what suddenly appears is...

...

A rolling orange ball, who is a little bit wet. ]

EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL! EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL!

[ Haro's eyes light up at the sight of Amy. ]

AMY, HELLO! AMY, HELLO!

[feastorfamine]

[Amy nearly jumps out of her skin when the device activates... and then stands there, gaping as Haro comes through and begins calling her name]

... Haro?! He sent you?!

[hotshots]

[ Haro bounces up and down and then... up into her arms. ]

SEND MESSAGE! SEND MESSAGE!

[ He wants you to call him, Amy. ]

[feastorfamine]

Oof!

[Amy gets the message, and takes out her cellphone, calling her brother... and once he picks up...]

Hey, good job. My better big brother showed up instead of you.

[hotshots]

Awesome!

[ At the sound of Neil's voice over Amy's cell phone, Haro's ears flap excitedly. ] LOCKON! LOCKON!

[feastorfamine]

...

So are you actually going to show up, or was I wasting my time earlier?

[hotshots]

[ He doesn't reply. Give it a few moments, and soon Project Jump activates again - this time depositing one Neil Dylandy out into the basement. He looks over himself for a moment, as if checking to make sure everything is indeed there. ]

Huh. It does work.

[feastorfamine]

[Amy just stares, wide-eyed for a moment, before shaking her head and forcing Haro into Neil's arms]

You really are the worst, you know that?!
