[Phone call filtered from NPCs]

So, I'm comin' up on a whole year here in Mayfield... Do I get a cake or somethin'?

Oh right, homecoming! Once again I'll be glad to be your DJ. Now that I got my servers back, I got even more tunes for your dancing pleasure.

[There's a slight pause.] This also means I'll be lookin' for a date. If any

Action 2

[likeahex]

[She notices the really out of place guy as she walks in. Tex meanwhile, looks right at home.]

Lost?

[techno_mancer]

[He's looking over the boxing equipment now, looking unsure of it.]

Uh, a little. Guess it's easy to tell, huh.

[likeahex]

Well you look like you've never seen a punching bag before, so I'm going to say yes.

[techno_mancer]

Hey, come on now, I've seen Rocky 1 through 5, ya know!

[likeahex]

Ever been in a fight?

[techno_mancer]

Darlin', I'm gonna let ya answer that one for yourself. [He smirks a little, still looking a bit embarrassed.]

[likeahex]

Call me that again and you'll find yourself in one.

So what, did you just come by to stare at things?

[techno_mancer]

[He chuckles.] No offense, just a habit with me. So what do I call ya instead?

I came by to figure out what I should be doin' first.

[likeahex]

Tex.

Well that depends what your goal is.

[techno_mancer]

Quinn. Nice to meet ya.

Let's see. To be able to run ten feet without stoppin' to catch my breath. To be able to defend myself when things turn south here. To maybe get a little meat on these bones. Somethin' like that.

[likeahex]

Right.

[Looking him over. Yeah....kinda a wimp.]

Well. ....I could help you with that.

[techno_mancer]

Yeah? Ya definitely look in better shape than me. I don't even know where to start though. Whatcha recommend?

[likeahex]

I'm a Freelancer. I have to be.

Here's the deal. I'll help you get in shape. And you can owe me one.

[Doing things for free. What is that?]

[techno_mancer]

[Must resist making a crack about "owing" her one. He's pretty sure she could break him in two. He surpresses a grin.]

Alright. Though you're gonna have to let me know what it is I'd be owin' ya.

[likeahex]

[She could....and she would. Anyway, she just shrugs.]

I will. When I need it. Money's pretty much worthless here, but in the future, if I need help with something. You owe me one.

Deal?

[techno_mancer]

Well, if ya ever need any help with electronics or computers, I'm your guy. Deal.
