[Balin's doing his usual physical training routine today, jogging through Mayfield's residential streets. He's wearing his AFS PT uniform, but there's another big tear across the stomach where it had been damaged again, this time by Keine. He doesn't look too happy about it.]
[He's also just as heavily armed as he has been ever since the Milkman took over as Chief of Police, with both his shotgun and his sidearm.]
[But as he crosses in front of 339 Brady Lane, the sounds of a movie playing from the garage make him slow down and listen. In fact, judging from the quality of the audio, someone's watching a movie made in-for Balin at least-recent years. Cloverfield didn't come out before the Bane invaded, though, so he doesn't recognize the film for what it is.]
[Nevertheless, it's enough to make Balin approach the garage and poke his head in with curiosity-then look absolutely shocked to see the modern electronics in there.]
[Quinn's garage is a modern oasis in a 50s desert. Besides the 60-inch TV playing a movie from a laptop, there's also an iPad, a small rack of servers, a shelf of DVDs and even a DJ mix table. Quinn looks up at Balin, blinking in confusion.]
[Quinn grins a little.] Stay here long enough, and Mayfield will start moving you in piece by piece. All this stuff's shown up in the mail since I got here.
(Miss Pauling's decided to check out some of the other neighborhoods around. And is so happens that she happened to be around Brady Street. Being from the late 1960s (an alternate version of the late 1960s, with futuristic weaponry, but still the 1960s no less), she stops for awhile to observe Quinn's garage. She doesn't exactly want to intrude, so she won't speak up unless she's spoken to. Feel free to start the ball rolling with her. And if Quinn happens to know Team Fortress 2, then he can start fourth-walling her.)
[Quinn does know TF2, but only from playing the game, so Ms. Pauling won't ping on his nerd radar. But any mention of the RED or BLUs will; he's met RED Sniper before, too.
When he sees he has a visitor, he gives her a tired smile. He's used to people stopping by to take a peek; it's something he hopes for.]
[ Ilsa has been walking the circuit again (no she's not patrolling, whatever would give you that idea?) when she finds Quinn looking like he's not doing so well. ]
Quinn? Hon, what's the matter?
[ She's doing the sneaky quick checkup, managing to get his pulse and check his eyes while scanning his emotional state. The things you learn in an ER rotation.... ]

Are you all right Quinn? I'd offer to get a doctor here, but most of them seem incompetent or insane.

Holy shit they were right!
[... yeah. Really shocked.]

Huh? Who was right?

[Then Balin realizes that Quinn's talking to him. And looks a little startled.]
Uh-oh, hey! Sorry, just-holy shit, how did you get all this?!
[Coherent thoughts, what are those?]

Hey there.

Hi. Sorry, I was just looking around. You've got a lot of interesting technology in here. I'm guessing that you're from the future?

From Mayfield's future, yeah. 2010.

Hey dude!

Yeah, I... I just started this joggin' thing, so...

Trying to exercise. Gotcha. Looks like you could use a break, how much have you been running?
Not gonna lie, but the super powers and stuff kinda give me an unfair advantage in that sort of thing.
I can run all around town without breaking a sweat.
But I'm better in the ocean... I can swim for miles, man.

Yeah, I... kinda didn't draw... those kinda powers in the... magic lottery. [He smirks.]

H-Hey, I'm okay. Just... tryin' to get some... exercise.

[ She also notices he doesn't smell as heavily of cigarettes. ]
Try some fast walking, getting up to a couple of miles, before you try to run it.
