Vat7k brain blerp - Hugo's prosthetic limb
I like brainstorming the idea of Hugo having either a prosthetic arm or leg that he's slowly upgraded himself. He's takes a lot of pride in his work on it. The metal could be more durable, but he keeps it lightweight to move faster. The joint pieces will disconnect when faced with immense force or pressure, which helps keep the more immovable peices from bending or getting permanently damaged. What sucks is that sometimes the prosthesis will burst like a fuckin beyblade when hit too hard. The guy even has a small built in compartment for Olivia, his robotic mouse, to live in. Varian legit believes Hugo just let's Olivia roam underneath the thiefs clothing, like Ratatouille, not realizing he has a prosthetic arm/leg she hides in for the first few weeks of knowing him.
Most people don't realize his limb is mechanic when they meet him. Yong finds out about it first when one of his experiments goes wrong, and Hugo tosses or kicks it out of the way before it explodes. He's a little too late so the blast ends up causing half the prosthesis to come off. Yong freaks out, but Hugo assures it's just a flesh wound. The two manage to put his limb back together, but not without Yong pleading to have Hugo let him add fireworks and additional gadgets to fight with. Hugo declines tho.
I'm a lover, not a fighter, he jokes, but honestly he doesn't like the idea of his prosthetic being made into some weapon.
One late night, Varian catches Hugo doing maintenance on his prosthesis while it's fully removed from his body. Hugo's surprised to see that the alchemist doesn't ask him any questions about it and goes straight to sleep. Funny enough, Varian just thought he was so sleep deprived, he was seeing things and decided he needed to go to bed immediately.
It isn't until the three end up going against some thugs, that Varian sees Hugo's limb come clean off when hit with a bat.
Varian is shook as he sees Yong quickly grab the appendage off the ground and wave it around shouting i got it! We can put it back! Like it's some kind of lego piece and gives him this look:
What do you mean it's fake?!
Goggles, you saw me fixing it two days ago!
I THOUGHT I WAS HALLUCINATING!!
