From Jackie's once over, there wasn't anything else she could detect wrong with it. Just a little extra cleaning once the new capacitor's set and she'd be ready to give it a little test drive. "'Holy' huh? Well if that means you're a lot more approachable than you would have been, then I guess all for the better." She waved her hand dismissively. "There were a few stuck-up angels in my time. Forgive the tiny bias." She turned towards Orogo. "I see. But are you all the same element, or are you guys a guardian of the elements style with each having different domains?"

"Take it for a spin, I don't see any other problem immediately.", Bastet has passed the deck back to Jackie, stopping the video she was watching and changing channels to see if there was any action movie being aired. And once found, she'd leave at that channel. "Basically, my blood could burn demons and vampires. Now it doesn't. The magical composition has changed.", she made no mention on the bias, mostly because she has seen what stuck-up people have been doing to demons, vampires, and the like.

"Our essence was somehow attuned to the mountains, so from Earth we came. Perhaps if another fragment of our essence exist we might be able to change some more... As for sister, she has the interesting ability to summon air serpents she controls, but those have no mind of their own.", Orogo gave the exposure to the fact.

"Whoa. I mean, I guess a big plus for that happening would be you can safely date vampires and demons. And without worrying if its your red day, eh?" With a cheeky grin she fired off some finger guns before slowly assembling her deck with the finesse of an amateur mechanic and the confidence of an F1 pit stop worker. She was careful of course, knowing fully that the deck was built for rough handling. "Hmm, I see, you've got a thing for serpents, don't you, Bas?" She scurried over to a free socket and plugged the deck in. She pushed the power and the deck lit up. "Okay, looking good." She sat back down and flicked a few of the switches and tested the launchpad she mounted onto it. "Nice! Amazing! Perfect! Bri-Bri-Bri-Brilliant! Yeaaaahhhh!" came the sounds of different voices sampled and programmed into the device. With a wide grin, she looked at Bastet. "It's perfect." She flicked some more switches over and the buttons now played synthetic sounds that were prominent in her music. Another combination and it played piano sounds. "Everything seems to be in order. The levels work as they should, the buttons flash as programmed, and the sound packs are all intact. Which means problem solved!" "Wah hoo!"

"Oh, you reading me, eh?", Bastet gave quite the mischievous smirk, while Orogo had a more smug expression. "Why wouldn't I? My father was an alien lizardman, I have a winged serpent tattooed on my back, and my wind manipulation worked the way Orogo explained since I was little. It's like I was made to become a serpent or something.", and still internally she entertained the idea of having the lower body of a serpent, obviously eyeing Jackie's.

Orogo eyed the deck curiously, as it produced notes and voice samples. "I heard sis mention something before about how some things retains data, either via memory or battery. Maybe that is why nothing was lost.", he gave slow nods and watched Bastet give the finishing touches on the desk fan.

"Just a hunch," she'd coyly say. Bastet wasn't hiding the fact that she was looking at Jackie's body, and the naga just grinned. Yeah, she had that effect on people. "You have to let me know when you can turn into a danger noodle so I can teach you the most important things any serpentine-bodied individual should know." She turned off the deck and unplugged it. "Oh yeah, now that this thing's back in operation, want to go with me to the club downtown this Friday? Got a gig there, and I'm kind of trying to avoid a regular there, and with you acting as my date, he might stay at bay, at least for the night."

"I will do so, yes.", Bastet knew such skills could come in handy, specially since she would have a hard time moving with a different body. Jackie's offer was surprising and honestly amused Orogo more than Bastet, to the point that he said ahead of time "We'd love to!", to which she gently booped the earth serpent. "Well... Orogo said it, we'd love to. Plus we have nothing to do Friday night.", Bastet admited, blushing a little bit.

She grinned and gave them a thumbs up. "I knew you guys wouldn't let me down! Alright, it's a date then! I'll come over around 7-ish. Eat light. Just enough to last a few hours because they'll be having a buffet backstage, and they never skimp on that, especially since the owner has a special friend coming for a visit. Oh, and you didn't hear that from me." Jackie winked and did a final look-around for anything she might have forgot to plop back into the deck. "Wait, that makes me wonder, do you and your brothers eat, Orogo?"

"Gotcha, didn't hear it from you and to eat just enough to keep my energy for a few hours. E.Z.", Bastet got it narrowed down. Jackie's question didn't take long to be answered by Orogo: "We don't need to eat, since we borrow Bastet's energy all the time. Even then, it's usually so little she can keep all 8 of us around doing our own thing for a long time. And even then, we do eat and drink regularly because 1. helps us cut down on energy drain and 2. we miss having the pleasures of the living, such as eating and drinking to our heart's content."

"I get it, Bastet's like a battery for you guys then. I thought as much, kind of like the majority of the witches' familiars. Or, well, the ones I know from DCA at least. "Well anyway, don't be shy in helping yourself with the food and drinks then." Jackie tucked her deck under her arm and stood up. "Well, I suppose I'll get going now. Don't want to distract you with your own repair job. Oh and I'm sure I've said this before, but feel free to drop by my room if you guys want to hang. No need to call ahead of time either."

"If that is how witches' familiars works, then yes! Just like that!", Orogo knew nearly nothing of witches, but if the Orochi Brothers were like Familiars, then perhaps... "I'm sure we will.", Bastet chuckled, "Alright then, Jackie. I will be sure to drop by your room soon or later and can hardly wait for Friday. Take care then.", Bastet tested the fan to see how well it was working now... Silent and strong, just as if it was new.
