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 1

[getsciencedone]

[Looking around the tree.]

What are you hiding from now?

[techno_mancer]

[UGH GOD. Of all the people.]

Who said I'm hidin'?

[getsciencedone]

Oh, so you're just lurking around trees for fun then?

[techno_mancer]

...Maybe.

[getsciencedone]

You have a very strange version of fun.

[techno_mancer]

Just havin' a smoke is all.

[getsciencedone]

Do people really enjoy poisoning their bodies with toxins like that?

[techno_mancer]

In this case? I guess I do. I'm tryin' to quit, but it ain't easy.

[getsciencedone]

Withdrawal....Yes, I suppose that would be difficult.

[She....is well familiar with the idea of addiction.]

[techno_mancer]

Yeah, and this place gettin' hectic ain't a help either. [He finishes his cigarette, tosses it down and stamps it out.] But I've cut down, at least.

[getsciencedone]

Why are you quitting now?

[techno_mancer]

Tryin' to get in shape, if I can.

[getsciencedone]

Did something bring that on?

[techno_mancer]

Maybe ya've noticed how often stuff here tries to kill us?

[getsciencedone]

It's been doing that for quite some time if you hadn't noticed.

[techno_mancer]

Yeah, I know. That's why I figure it's high time I stop hidin' in a corner every time it happens 'n' maybe get in shape, know how to defend myself.
