23rd Fix

Dec 03, 2011 23:27

[Quinn hasn't been himself lately. The fallout event was rough on him, and he keeps losing friends lately. Finding April droned - seemingly for good - really stung. He seems to drift into space a lot, but if you ask him if anything is wrong, he gives you his usual grin and says he's totally cool. He spends a lot of time mindlessly playing video ( Read more... )

[ Sometime after Quinn's phone call, Jolt pulls up in the driveway. He looks a little forlorn, even for a car. ]

... Hey Quinn.

techno_mancer December 4 2011, 04:45:37 UTC

Hey man. Ya been doin' okay?

electrowhipit December 4 2011, 04:48:12 UTC

... As okay as can be expected. [ don't mind him if he transforms and kind of sits in the driveway with a sad little robot sigh ]

I'm gonna miss her.

techno_mancer December 4 2011, 16:04:47 UTC

Me too, buddy, me too. I have a hard time holdin' on to friends in this town.

...I'd offer ya a cigarette, but I don't think there's much point in that.

[ She stops by, checking on Quinn. ]

Hey, hon.

[ Not mentioning the cigarette, except to sit upwind of him. ]

techno_mancer December 4 2011, 16:01:32 UTC

[He's not even going to bother hiding it. He gives her a momentary smile, though.] Hey darlin'. What's new?

ooeeooahah December 4 2011, 22:17:27 UTC

More trauma, more stuff from home.

[ She nods at the packs beside him. ]

Not a brand they sell, yet.

techno_mancer December 5 2011, 03:14:45 UTC

Yeah. Same here. Mayfield just sent me these. Guess they're tryin' to tell me somethin'.

[Someone is getting some use out of her armour today. Walking over. Hey Quinn.]

techno_mancer December 4 2011, 18:00:42 UTC

[Don't mind while he gawks for a second. Maybe he's hallucinating. This is crazy.]

...Hi?

likeahex December 4 2011, 18:14:22 UTC

Hey.

What are you so miserable about?

[Yup, that voice might sound a bit familiar]

techno_mancer December 5 2011, 03:11:27 UTC

I... Tex?

[Oh. That call. That wasn't very good. Poor Quinn... How long had it been since she had seen him? Too long.

Which is why a bit later in the day, she comes up to 339 Brady Lane with a soft and concerned smile on her face.]

Hey, Quinn. I thought I'd come by to see how you're doing. After... you know. Everything.

techno_mancer December 4 2011, 17:59:36 UTC

[His initial response was to hide the cigarette, but he takes it out of his mouth, looks at it, and then pops it back in. No sense covering it.]

Hey there darlin'. Ah, well, ya know. Mayfield bein' Mayfield and all that. I'm still kickin'. How're you holding up?

duck_duck_laser December 4 2011, 22:37:01 UTC

Here I thought you were supposed to be quitting.

[She only meant to tease him a little, saying it. Her eyes were sad, even as she smiled.]

I'm as well as can be expected. Mayfield, and all. I think we're all entitled to a little vice, after.... that last thing.

Is it okay if I sit?

techno_mancer December 5 2011, 03:16:51 UTC

Yeah, that was before nuclear fallout, 'n' then my brand from home showin' up in the mail. [He smiles, a bit embarrassed.]

'Course. Plenty of room.
