4th Fix

[techno_mancer]

[Quinn Hatch is, by nature, a people person. A party person. Mayfield is way too quiet and boring for his tastes, not to mention that he's a bit lonely and homesick. Working as a teacher has kept him busier than he thought it would, and the daily grind tough on him. Today though, he's calling out to chillax! You may find him

[Friendly ....XD Right.]

What do you want?

[techno_mancer]

[He slides in next to you!] Hey there! What's this place got good to drink?

[likeahex]

Nothing.

[Takes a drink from her glass.]

Everything here tastes like crap.

[Also, go away.]

[techno_mancer]

Yeah, so I noticed. What's up with that? Are they trying to make everyone here miserable?

[getsciencedone]

[You probably shouldn't have broken into this garage. Really. But since you did. Well there is a red dot looking around and you'll hear a rather "familiar" voice. You might want to move before that laser sight locks onto you Quinn, and the bullets start.]

[techno_mancer]

[WHAT

WHAT

OH GOD

The gangly, drunk mess of a human being is scrambling for dear life back out of the garage.]

Ohshitohshit!

[getsciencedone]

Is anyone there?

Could you come over here?

[Don't you want to say hi? The little turret is lonely...also still searching.]

[techno_mancer]

[Hiding behind a trash can, and he's so close to the door! Sneaking is not easy for someone who's 6'8". Damnit. He'll try to distract it though, and throw the can's lid in the opposite direction.]

[Theta's already been scavenging the drones' cars for parts, and when she finds someone else doing the same, she scowls.]

What parts are you after? If it's ventilation systems, I'm going to be rather cross. [She has a little radio flyer wagon filled with pieces, and she's looking to get more.]

[techno_mancer]

Oh. Hey. Ventilation? Naw, I'm takin' whatever I can get at this point, I just started collectin'.

[ergaleomancer]

Well you can have what you like behind me, then, but I need the ventilation systems, fans, and hoses, as well as a few other parts. It's important, and I can't afford to share.

[techno_mancer]

Cool! Thanks a bunch! I don't think I'll need anythin' like that yet anyway. Can I ask what you're buildin'?

[April was doing her usual thing of walking around town when the sound of loud, not-1950s music catches her attention. Tech-geek senses tingling, she goes to investigate and will be peering into the garage while blinking in amazement. Ohgod there's modern technology here squeee!]

[techno_mancer]

[He's a bit absorbed in his work, so he doesn't notice you at first. Once he turns around, he will. He attempts to say something over the music, then decides it's probably easier to turn it down a bit.]

Hey there! What's up?

[evers_hacker]

Ah, hi! Umm, I-I'm just wondering, what's that? [Nods to the stereo system. She has a vague idea, but she doesn't see this sort of tech back home much and it's vastly different from what she's seeing in front of her.]

[techno_mancer]

That? That is one of my gorgeous laptops and a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers. This is part of my music set up from home. The town sent it back to me last week!

[ A very tall woman stumbles over from her spot on some nearby grass, where she was just cloud-gazing, until being rudely awoken by the noise! ]

Hey! I'm tryin' to sleep here! Why's it so loud?!

[ Sleeping, in the middle of the day. Yeah. ]

[techno_mancer]

[He blinks at you for a moment, then taps a button on the laptop, cutting the music off.]

What was that?

[rivercrossed]

I said, heeeeey! I'm tryin' to sleep! Jeez!

[techno_mancer]

Oh yeah? Sorry man. I thought most people in this town would be up and about by 1:00. [He shrugs. It's a sarcastic reply, he's being honest.]

I dunno, I feel like it helps me forget I'm stuck in this miserable town. Crankin' up the tunes like that I mean.
