[Phone call: filtered from the usual NPCs:]

Hey hey, Mayfield! I have a proposition I know ya'll can't resist. See, I work at the high school, and I've heard all the drone kids whisperin' about prom comin' up. 'Cept, if ya ask me, a prom fulla drones sounds about the lamest and creepiest thing ever. So I'm gonna hold our own prom without 'em

[politerudeness]

... Please tell me more about this... "prom".

[techno_mancer]

Whatcha wanna know?

[godisachild]

Lame.

[techno_mancer]

No one's forcin' ya into goin', kid.

[godisachild]

Still doesn't change the fact proms are lame.

[techno_mancer]

So is rainin' on everyone else's parade.

[inababanchou]

Prom? This sounds interesting. Count me in.

[techno_mancer]

Excellent. Spread the word, man! Let's get the place filled up.

[inababanchou]

What dances will we be performing?

[techno_mancer]

Well, whatever ya want, I guess. I've got a huge collection of stuff. Rock music, pop, dance, electronica... Hell, if ya guys wanted to waltz or square dance or somethin', I got that too.

What's with you and parties? Isn't hanging out at a school kinda lame?

[techno_mancer]

I love a good party. Can't have enough of 'em.

I'd rather a different venue, yeah, but we don't have too many options for holdin' that many people. Plus, there's a stage there for my equipment and the other musicians, and plenty of dance floor space this way.

[striped_biceps]

It sounds kinda like something I've been to back home. [Quinn is talking to a celebrity, for serious.]

It sounds like a lot of work, though. Need any heavy lifting done?

[techno_mancer]

I usually work a lot of 'em as a DJ. Just a side thing, for fun.

It can be, but it's worth it. And I sure will, man. I'll have to get my equipment to the gym, and get the tables 'n' all in there.

[towertrapped]

Prom? What's a...prom?

[techno_mancer]

Sorta like a fancy dress party. Usually it's for high school students, but I don't wanna leave anyone out.

[towertrapped]

Oh, dancing? Really?

[ She sounds pretty excited. Granted, she knows close to knowing about modern dance... Or techno music. ]

And there's a king and queen too?

[techno_mancer]

Yep! All kinds too. I have a pretty big collection.

People will vote on a prom king and queen. I figure I'll set up a vote next week at the school or somethin'.
