22nd Fix

[techno_mancer]

[Quinn has spent the last few days helping his roommate get back on her feet after some jackass called Black Mage hit her with a lightning spell. He's also spent the last few weeks tucked away in his garage all the time, tinkering around, watching movies or playing music. He's not sure if drowning himself in his possessions is making his

[April had heard his phone call, and so confusion and curiosity tells her to go to his house to see what all the fuss is about.

So now there's one redhead peering into your garage, Quinn.]

Hey, what's going on?

[techno_mancer]

[He looks up from the pile of games, grinning.] Hey there, darlin'. Up for some games?

[evers_hacker]

Games? Ah, sure. [Now she's gonna walk closer and take a look at the game collection.]

[techno_mancer]

[Mostly it includes fighting games, FPSs and survival horror stuff.] They got these where you're from? 'S always hard to tell who's got what.

[imjustpicky]

[Picky had overheard the call, and was only clear on two things. This guy had gotten his "games" back, and he was really, really happy about it. Controllers were involved, so it HAD to have been video games, right? Yes?

He was all over this.

So there's picky, over at the house on Brady Lane, edging his way up the driveway and really hoping he's not intruding, but really curious as to what's getting set up...]

[techno_mancer]

[Music pumps from a computer and a set of killer speakers as Quinn sits looking fondly through the collection of games, smiling. Some are being set aside on the couch next to him. He's pretty engrossed in it, so he hasn't noticed his visitor yet.

[imjustpicky]

[Something this awesome is kind of intmidating. Picky is sure that there's a really high chance he'll be shouted at and told to go away because he's too little and not cool enough... but he has to try. So after much effort, he edges his way up to the couch.]

Uh, hey.

...

You're the guy who called out and said he had games?

[techno_mancer]

[Quinn looks up.] Oh! Ya snuck up on me there, man. Guess I'm busy reminicin'. Yeah, that was me. Interested in playin'?

[worstdmever]

[Ryo peeks into the garage at some point in the afternoon.]

Er, excuse me. I believe someone on the phone mentioned something about games?

[techno_mancer]

Oh? Yeah man, that was me! Come on in. Just got it all set up.

[godisachild]

[Pokey isn't really sure what the hell a X-Box is, but he knows that games were mentioned.

So yeah, he's just coming on in when he hears that call.]

So what games?

[techno_mancer]

Hey! I got a bunch. Mostly multiplayer shooters 'n' stuff. But I got two controllers, too, so we're good.

[godisachild]

Awesome.

[Blood and violence? Yes please. Pokey will just love that.

But he looks at the console with utter confusion for a moment, before putting a poker face on. He doesn't want to look like an idiot or that he doesn't understand technology, after all. It's just...weird looking.]

...How do you play it? I mean, where do the cartridges even go?

[techno_mancer]

Oh, that's right. You're an SNES-era kid. Cartridges are for handheld stuff only, in my time. Games are on CDs now, or ya... Well it might take more effort to explain downloadin' them than it's worth.

[You're having a wireless controller tossed at you as pops in a copy of Halo 3.]
