The amount of people that it took to screw this figurative lightbulb was astounding. The simple fact that Neovia had no electricity and this proverb meant nothing to its citizens didn't make it any less true.
First it started with Melchnoir's simple need for a computer. Simple enough if he lived anywhere else /but/ Neovia. Of course he moved here for the atmosphere, yet the inconvenience of perpetually living in the 1800s came with its flaws. So Melchnior ended up spending a good half hour explaining electric to Phurinces and asking if he knew anyone who he could talk to.
Unfortunately he didn't; but he gave him the description of a young mutated ixi and a vague "You'll know who it is."
Melchnior spent the better half of his day wandering town looking for a little green head. He finally spotted the disfigured face pressed up to the window of the local bakery.
He awkwardly tapped the kid's shoulder, "Um, do you know Phurinces?"
The kid jumped in surprise, "Huh? Whatchya doin' tappin' people on the shoulda? Ya know I could a cut ya!"
Melchinor shuffled sheepishly, "Well... sorry..."
"Yea ya should be! Now what was it ya needed?"
"I was just wondering if you knew Phurinces? Ya know, reddish suit and top hat? Kinda ghosty?" Melchinor motioned at himself as if he were the one wearing a suit and top hat.
"That fuckin apple guy? Yea I've met him once or twice."
"Oh good," Melchnior gave an uneasy smile,"He told me you might happen to know where I might find a computer."
