2nd Fix

[Quinn was warned he might be given a job here, and lo and behold, he was. But apparently he was a teacher, something he knew nothing about. Sure, calculus he could do, but teaching? High schoolers? Well, it couldn't be so hard, he thought

I'm from Los Angeles in the year 2019. My name's Kay Faraday! Though, uh, you probably have me down as Kay Crawford.

[techno_mancer]

2019 huh? So you're 9 years ahead of me. What's the future like? Any flyin' cars yet?

[thief_of_truth]

Sorry to disappoint you.

[techno_mancer]

Hey, come on, that was a joke! So what's LA like then? I've been there a few times. It's like its own planet, that city.

[thief_of_truth]

It's pretty nice, I guess. I've lived there my whole life, so I don't really have much to compare it to, y'know?

[techno_mancer]

You should travel more when you get home! There's a whole world out there ya gotta see.

...you can skip North Carolina though. I can attest that ya ain't missin' much there. That's why I travel as much as possible!

[thief_of_truth]

North Carolina, huh? Yeah, sounds pretty boring. And if I ever get outta here, I'm gonna go everywhere!

[techno_mancer]

As well ya should! Personally? I can't wait to get back to the beach. I had a tripped to Aruba all planned for this winter before I got dropped in here.

[thief_of_truth]

Wow, Aruba! You must be pretty rich, huh?

[techno_mancer]

"Comfortable" is a nicer term for it. So is "deservin' of the break from my family". Trust me, I earn it!

[thief_of_truth]

Still, though, that sounds pretty cool. What do you do back in your world?

[techno_mancer]

Ah, well that's a little complicated, ya see? But mostly, I help out my family with whatever they need, mostly finances and stuff like that.

[thief_of_truth]

So you're a freelance accountant?

[techno_mancer]

[He laughs.] Accountant, technician, liason... I'm a man of many talents.

[thief_of_truth]

Sounds like it!
