10th Fix

[Phone: filtered from NPCs:]Hey, guys! Just wanted to let ya'll know that the forge in my yard has been ready to go. It ain't much, but it does the trick. Not too bad for a guy who's never even seen one outside of a Renaissance Fair if I do say so myself! Thing is, I've never built anythin' like swords or whatever before. Computers and

[ergaleomancer]

Can you make clank parts as well?

[techno_mancer]

Good question. I mean, can we modify some of the steel I have? Or do ya need to melt 'em down completely and use molds or whatever?

[ergaleomancer]

Mostly, I need springs, actually. If you can make springs and gears, then modifying things to make the casings will be very simple.

[techno_mancer]

Think ya can help me make some molds, then? I bet we can at least make some gears. Springs sounds tougher, but I'll work on it.

In the faculty breakroom

[nomammano]

Oh hey, party guy. What's that?

[techno_mancer]

[It takes him a moment to realize someone just said something to him.]

Oh, hey. It's a computer I just got sent from home! Cool, huh?

[nomammano]

It's so small!

[techno_mancer]

Yep! It ain't even the smallest... What year are ya from?

Faculty break room

[beamiracle]

[Hello I am from the 80's and thus have never seen an iPad before]

Forgive me if I'm interrupting anything, but what is that?

[techno_mancer]

[Oooh he forgot about all the new-- wait, Quinn, someone's talking to you.]

Hey, Lion. It's an iPad. Just got it sent back from home. Not exactly top of my list of things I'd like back, but it's still pretty fun.

[beamiracle]

An iPad, is it...

[Leans over a little to look at it.] I've never seen anything like it before. It looks quite interesting.

[techno_mancer]

Yep! It's a computer. To be honest, I don't have a whole lotta use for it, but it's fun. Especially here in Mayfielld I can't do much with it. Can't get any new apps or anythin' for it here. Glad I loaded it up before I got whisked away!

Facility Break Room

[getsciencedone]

[Your friendly sociopathic AI/Science teacher doesn't notice you as she is rather busy putting up a poster in the break room.

In fact you're most likely going to walk right into her.]

[techno_mancer]

[Oh hey there was some music on this computer too, maybe he can-- SLAM. Sorry, GLaDOS, but he ends up running right into you.

Naturally, since it's her, he's now terrified.]

Wh-whoa! Hey. Um. Sorry 'bout that. Really.

[getsciencedone]

[Glances over at him.]

You should be more careful where you're walking.

[Her voice is clipped but she's rather distracted as she grabs her poster before it falls on the ground.]

[techno_mancer]

Yeah, sorry. Was distracted.

[He takes a look at the poster. O-Oh god why are you hanging that up *here*?]

...Where'd ya get that?

[thief_of_truth]

[Kay's sitting in the next booth over at the diner. She is now peering over Quinn's shoulder, looking at the iPad.]

Hey, is that what I think it is?

[techno_mancer]

[He doesn't hear her at first, but then he shakes his head and sees Kay taking a peek.]

An iPad? Yep! Just got it sent back to me.

[thief_of_truth]

I always wanted one, but I never had enough money.

[techno_mancer]

It's not too useful in Mayfield, but I loaded it up, mostly with books. I'm glad I did, since it's not like I can download anythin' here for it.
