Oh, this was good. This was very good. He was so excited that she could practically taste it. Why hadn't she thought of this? Excitable craftsmen proud about their work and excited for a passion project. He would actually be thrilled about the parts themselves. She was certain that was a necessary step to really make the flavor last, judging by the sorts of things Jean kept around.
His excitement was infectious, too. As he explained each individual thing, she couldn't help getting excited about how it would turn out. This really was a one of a kind project. And the look on Jean's face when she pulled it off! Well. Actually that would probably be really underwhelming, because he'd never understand how much work it was, but still. It'd be worth it for the told-you-so alone. Not to mention the personal satisfaction at having reverse-engineered his bullshit so well when he refused to just explain it to her.
"These are all great ideas!" Bree agreed enthusiastically. "Honestly, this is for a house where the most technologically advanced thing in the whole building is the bidet, so I really do want the aesthetic to match. I want it to look like, no more high tech than an old radio. No clear sides to show off all the blinky insides. If we can do some kind of internal cooling system to minimize the use of any noise-making fans and the need for it to be open to the air, even better."
"As for what he's going to be using it for... honestly? Probably remarkably little. Games, maybe, but probably nothing super high end. I want it to be high end anyway, though, so it'll last a long time before I have to repeat this goddamn process with new parts. Money isn't really a big issue, as you saw, so the best bullshit we can buy and make. I want him to be playing Bejeweled 2050 on this fucking thing in thirty years if he wants."
That much money would definitely get him set up in a new place, but she was cautious about sending him out with it, because he was clearly an idiot and would get mugged. "Here, let me get you my tablet and you can get started with ideas and notes, if you want," she said, kneeling down to reach under her window seat, which was hollow underneath and just covered with a curtain. It was nicer than hanging out under her bed at night. The whole thing under there was luxe as hell.
She handed him the tablet. "Let me make a few calls. I don't think there's any openings at my mom's place, but she might have some ideas for vampire-free residencies."
