[Phone call filtered from NPCs]

So, I'm comin' up on a whole year here in Mayfield... Do I get a cake or somethin'?

Oh right, homecoming! Once again I'll be glad to be your DJ. Now that I got my servers back, I got even more tunes for your dancing pleasure.

[There's a slight pause.] This also means I'll be lookin' for a date. If any

Action 2

[likeahex]

[She notices the really out of place guy as she walks in. Tex meanwhile, looks right at home.]

Lost?

[techno_mancer]

[He's looking over the boxing equipment now, looking unsure of it.]

Uh, a little. Guess it's easy to tell, huh.

[likeahex]

Well you look like you've never seen a punching bag before, so I'm going to say yes.

[techno_mancer]

Hey, come on now, I've seen Rocky 1 through 5, ya know!

Action 2

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri sees Quinn, but stays where she is by the pool. Its probably too cold for her to be swimming but she doesn't seem to care. HOWEVER, the sound system/PA of the rec center will fuzz out for a second then cheesy 1980's sports training montage music will start playing. Loudly.]

[techno_mancer]

[~RISIN' UP, STRAIGHT TO THE TOP, GOT THE GUTS, GOT THE GLORYYYYY~

Quinn looks around, confused for a second before he just busts out luaghing.]

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri nods from the pool]

You looked like you were too far out of your element.

[techno_mancer]

I am, darlin', that's easy to tell. I don't even know where to start, so inspiration's always good. Maybe the pool ain't a bad idea.

Action 1

[cuttlefidget]

[Quinn, are you trying to smoke ~in secret~ behind the pet store? TOO BAD THERE IS A DANIEL HERE TO NOTICE.

It's okay. He's taking a smoke break too, though the pipe carved like an octopus is probably a little more classy than a cigarette. Just saying.]

Oh! Hi, Quinn.

[techno_mancer]

[EEP NO--Oh it's Daniel. Daniel doesn't know he's supposed to be quitting.]

Hey, man! What's up? Whoa, hell of a pipe ya got there.

[cuttlefidget]

[Yep! This cuttlefish is completely oblivious.]

Oh! Uh, thank you. It was a gift.

[From Cyril. Who's dead now probably.

Whoops.]

I mean, I never would have gone for one this flashy normally.

[techno_mancer]

Well, I figured it didn't come from Mayfield.

[He nods his head towards the shop.] You work here?

Action 1 - park

[ooeeooahah]

[ the thing about being sneaky with smoke is that is is incredibly difficult to hide. Quinn finds the last third of his cigarette taken away while he's checking the other direction. And how the heck did Ilsa sneak up him in the park like that? ]

[techno_mancer]

[He stops dead, looking pretty sorry for himself.]

Um. Hi.

[ooeeooahah]

Hon, how many packs a day were you smoking before?

[techno_mancer]

...Two. I kinda lost my resolve after Zombie Apocalypse 1950-X.

Action 1

[getsciencedone]

[Looking around the tree.]

What are you hiding from now?

[techno_mancer]

[UGH GOD. Of all the people.]

Who said I'm hidin'?

[getsciencedone]

Oh, so you're just lurking around trees for fun then?

[techno_mancer]

...Maybe.
