The mechanics' workshop has been established by Winry and was used by Kaylee and Wes as well. When the first chibis appeared in camp he already had his own desk in there and after Kaylee left, he more or less moved into the workshop.
When I asked the last time I didn't get the impression that many campers use the workshop as excessively as he does, only pop by randomly. As Wesley basically lives there (he only goes to Boys' #4 to sleep), I took the liberty to make a l33t MS-Paint sketch of its interiors.
( Fear MS Paint, for it is mighty ) It would be great if you could drop me a comment here if you think that a mechanic's workshop is something your character would hang out at regularly, because then I can assume he or she isn't a stranger to Wes. And of course the map is by no means final: If your character wants his own desk / shelve / box, please tell me and I'll change the map accordingly.
Map details
Wes built the
additional storage room himself to store the supplies he uses for trade and current projects. This is the only part of the mechanic's workshop that is locked when Wes is not there. Really only the stuff he bought himself or found himself, hence everything that was not so easy to get for him is in there. Everything else is in the workshop, unlocked, for everyone to use.
There are free supplies in the
supply shelves in the store, basic stuff like scrap metal, lightbulbs, nails, etc. All the tools and machines lying around on the
workbenches or hanging on the
metal walls are free to use as well. I'm not a mechanic, so I can't give you a detailled list, just assume whatever your chara needs to build a mechanic flying broomstick or whatever is available. Wes takes care of the tools and machines, they are always well oiled, cleaned and maintained.
Wes' own
desk usually hosts his computer and blueprints of whatever project he is working on. There's a box underneath for Momo with some of her toys and notebooks, also two dishes with her food and water.
Things you can get in the workshopWes spends his time in the workshop building minor and major things, either for his own pleasure or for somebody in camp. He trades stuff he builds for goods from the camp store as he doesn't have any money. Wes' technology at home is very advanced and he creates and invents things there all the time, so I just assume that today's technology is basically lego bricks for him.
Of course his supply is very limited (he collects pieces of destroyed laptops and orders parts from the camp store), so he won't be able to build your chara a superweapon or rocket boots or an own nuclear reactor. If you need something built bigger for plot purposes you can always ask though and we can figure something out (there was for example a holodeck in camp once for a limited time).
What he
can do is
- repairing laptops, cell phones (for camp-intern usage), gaming consoles, etc.
- build gadgets like USB sticks, simple hi-fi equipment and general technical accessoires. Stuff he constructed / is constructing for camp included a film projector, lighting equipment for a stage, a hibernation docking station for baby!Tachikoma, an LCD tennis game and a coffee bot.
- If you want to play this out, just poke me - but you don't have to, if you don't want to. I just assume small trades are going on all the time so Wes can get things from the camp store posts and that means people can also just assume they got e. g. their iPod repaired in the workshop.
