17th Fix

Jul 15, 2011 08:31

[Thanks to being at stage three, Quinn really messed stuff up with his best friend in town. He's wrestling with a lot of feelings that a chill and in-control guy like him never deals with normally, and still being under the secret-blurting effect, really wants to get this off his chest to someone. The problem is that he doesn't know who to go to ( Read more... )

well this is awkward, hnnng, machines will console me, event: speak up

[Ruri opens the door and nods to Quinn with a bag over her shoulder]

"Hello Quinn."

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 15:25:41 UTC

Oh, hey Ruri. Um. How ya holdin' up? I'm here to check on your crazy not-dad.

"I'm all right. I was about to head out to Miss GLaDOS' home and go over repair work with her. Scott has locked himself in the bathroom."

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 19:15:30 UTC

Yeah, I heard his phone call. I was wonderin' if he came to his senses yet.

[April is also at the store, just stocking up on stuff and trying to keep herself busy. She blinks when she spots Quinn looking nervous and worried and she frowns in concern.]

... Quinn?

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 15:24:48 UTC

Oh, hey there April. How're you? Not blurting out crap like mostly everyone else, right?

evers_hacker July 15 2011, 16:28:37 UTC

[April just huffs and pouts at that, cause guess who is stage 3-4.]

I have, since earlier I blurted out how- [She quickly covers her mouth and mumbles for a moment before uncovering it again.]

... Anyway, are you okay? You look kinda, um, nervous.

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 16:59:58 UTC

Uh. Basically? I don't wanna do what you almost just did. I've done enough damage already this week.

[Mart approaches the garage door and knocks]

Hey dude!

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 15:23:56 UTC

'Sup, Mart. How ya been? [He's currently messing with his turntables, making sure it's in perfect working order.]

jaws5sonofjaws July 15 2011, 15:27:04 UTC

[Mart's in stage 2]

Feeling okay.

Lotta weird stuff going on around as usual... I was wondering if I could we could watch JAWS or something to get our midns of things?

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 15:33:26 UTC

Tell me about it. I guess I'm glad I don't have a ton of dark secrets to blurt out. Just a couple of stupid ones.

Man, that's a great idea. Lemme get it all set up. Have a seat.

[ Ilsa walks up the driveway, stopping at the door. She will wait there on the threshold until Quinn invites her in. ]

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 19:22:27 UTC

[He's absorbed in his non-work, but will see her there after a minute two.]

Oh, hey there. What's up?

ooeeooahah July 15 2011, 21:16:51 UTC

I... nnn... are you too busy for playing some instrumentals?

[ She's a little nervous, and seems to be trying to not talk. ]

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 22:41:54 UTC

[Resting his hand on the laptop for a quick moment, it'll change to something lighter.]

Ya look like ya wanna talk but don't wanna talk. I know the feeling.

[It's the noise that lures her out, and she sticks her head out into the garage with an instinctive snuffling. She recoils at the smell of cigarettes, but presses on anyway, padding over to see what the blazes he's doing with all that stuff. Too bad she can still hear better than most people.]

So, girl problems or guy problems?

[Because if there's anything she's had to deal with lots of for her friends back home, it's relationship drama. Mika crosses her arms over her chest and leans her hip against a shelf.

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 22:32:56 UTC

[He was having what sounded like a one-sided conversation with his DJ turntables when he hears Mika come in.]

Oh. Heh. Ya know, it's guy problems this time. I never usually have problems with the guys. [He shakes his head.] This whole truth-spillin' thing made me shove my foot so far down my throat, it's a wonder I'm still standin'.

notlikethemovie July 15 2011, 22:41:43 UTC

Well, everybody has a bad day, and you're not the only one. Hell, I spilled my whole awful sob story on my poor coworker earlier and nearly told her she was from a video game franchise, how horrible would that have been? Still, I think I might've shellshocked her a bit with the rest.

Anyway.

[She waves a hand as if to clear the air.]

This is not about me running my mouth off. So please feel free to stop me if I get started. Let's focus on you for a bit. And you might be surprised, but you wouldn't be the first guy I've had a talk like this with.

Okay, so you totally shot your mouth off, and you can't change that. Everybody's been doing it, so at least you're not alone. So, the key thing to do is to at least stand by what you said. It might not've come out the way you wanted it to, but it's out where the other person can think it over. So, how did it go?

techno_mancer July 15 2011, 22:48:10 UTC

Video game, huh? Wouldn't be the first I've met 'round here. And cartoon. And movie. And comics. Ya get used to that after awhile. But you're right, none of us wanna say this stuff like this, the town is makin' us do it.

I dunno. It was pretty bad. It came out way different than I meant, I think. Except I did mean it or I wouldn't've said it, right?

[He sighs, taking off his glasses to rub his eyes.] Insteada sayin' "I like you, Cyuss, let's go out sometime again" or somethin', I pretty much told him that I really really just wanna sleep with him.
