The Inexplicable Exploits of the Dork Corps

Part XI - This Gets No Pun its Hella Angsty

(I know I'm literally the main character in this but I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT WRITES HERE OKAY? But I have no clue how to write Fire and Kat anyway.)

    "Why can't she do this herself?"

     "Whatever Nems, just help me get whats on our list before Fire and Shat do."

     "Don't call me Nems." Carter gave a quick grin and Nemesis rolled her eyes. She snatched away the piece of legal paper from Carters hands and looked down the length of it, squinting to make out the messy graphite scrawl, "Umm... gul nuts, volesate."

     "What?"

     "Th-thats what it says." She bit down on her lip and hung her head, holding the sheet of yellow paper out to the boy beside her, "Just read it." Carter raised an eyebrow but took the paper anyway.

     "Lug nuts, love seat, some two by fours, four brooms, soldering iron, rubber chair feet, and... and a six foot diameter piece of circular plywood. What the heck is this even for?"

     "How should I know? Maybe Fire and Shat's list makes more sense than ours."

ITS THE CIIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIINE. AND IT BREAAAAAKS US AAAAAAAALL

     "What the heck is this for?"

     "H-how should I kn-know?"

    "Well, at least Kat included a helpful little picture, I don't know how we'd find anything in this market otherwise." Fire spun in a circle with her arms held wide to illustrate her point. The market around her bustled with life, brightly colored flags and awnings whipped through the air, giant spherical lanterns gave out huge rays of light as they bobbed on sticks through the crowd. Vendors hawked their wares, a wide variety of items ranging from complex looking mechanical arms, to knobby looking yellow fruits, wow they looked surprisingly good, maybe after they got everything on the list they could pick some up for the team.

     "W-what should we g-get first?"

     "We need, silver solder, seven hyper coolant energy pumps... what the heck? Anyway... Monitor, miniture particle accelerator, two high speed motors, three arduinos, and a uranium quad sealed battery."

     "What-"

     "I said, silver solder, seve-"

     "No no no. I mean, what is that?"

     "That must be the arduinos. Lets go." Fire grabbed Shat by the wrist and dragged them to the colorful stall. Fire pointed to the circuit board, flashed three fingers and slid over a bronze card with various runes inscribed in its surface. The man... woman... person- no, being manning the stall sandwiched the card between two glowing circles, as it stamping it, and handed Fire the card back along with the three circuit boards in a paper-like bag. Fire grinned as Shat asked,

     "What was that?"

     "Universal credits. Kat rigged up an infinite supply."

*Inspired by when me and my friends actually tried to make a hover platform by the way*

     "Got 'em!" Carter yelled pulling his hands out from a slightly wilted cardboard box, hands full of small metal bolts.

     "Perfect!" Nemesis chimed, striking an item from the list with a flourishing pen stroke.

     "You missed."
