Chokes and sputters as the pinball machine goes up in smoke in his face again.
"Why always when I'm playing?! All I did was try to play my extra ball!"

Good job. |
"It's not a bug!" Jarylan says quickly, moving to get his tools and go back to work on the pinball machine, "Random pyrotechnics is an undocumented feature!"

Be thankful one of us was here to fix it. At least you won't lose your game...

So... it wasn't an accident you say... >_<

As are the occasions where the ball defies physics I take it?

"Ball defying physics?" He levers himself out from under the machine for a moment, thinking. "Hm."
Jarylan pulls himself back under the machine, and lets out a whoop. "Aha! I found the problem! I also found out where those gauss pistol parts went when I lost them..."

"I didn't use them. I lost them. Slight difference. I must have put them down there for some reason, perhaps after getting them out of the tool box. And then...forgot them I guess. The magnetics probably made the ball do all kinds of funny things."

After a bit, Jarylan pulls out from under the machine, and puts away all the parts and tools. He then stands up, adjusts his uniform jacket....
"'ey!" With a good smack to the side of the machine, it starts right up, having not even lost the score. Jarylan then wanders off to put the toolbox away.

Jarylan sighs the long suffering sigh of those whose great works are not appreciated. He bangs the machine again, and the rest of the seven burns to life, showing that it is indeed, not a one.
'Course, the score is now zero, but you can't have everything...

"Ok, thats it. I know when I'm beat."
Takes a stool at the bar
"Chi, whip me up a Nitro Class ERPPC, and a salt shaker will ya?"
Lays a 20 C-Bill note on the counter. Doesn't even flinch when the Pinball machine electroshocks SD as he grabs ahold of it after using his tamperbill.
