5th Fix

[The phone picks up, but there's a few moments of shuffling and the moving of things as Quinn drags the phone to the garage. Sadly no one has told him he can filter his calls.]

Hey guys! It's come to my attention that some folks 'round here like usin' swords. While I ain't the fightin' type, I can tell why ya'd want somethin' like that around, 'specially if ya ain't used to guns or whatever.

So, I've decided that I'm gonna build somethin' like a forge! I figure, the only thing we got in Mayfield in the way of scrap metal is cars, right? So, we've got access to a lot of steel and chrome and such. We can probably make some lightweight, tough swords for ya'll! Like katanas, I guess.

Here's where ya'll come in. While I can build a whole lotta stuff, swords are new to me. I'm lookin' for someone who knows stuff like how to design 'em. Get the weight and size right, stuff I can use for the hilts, things like that! Computers are my specialty really, but I do pretty good buildin' other stuff too. So if you're interested, ya can call me back, but it's probably better if ya just come over to the garage at 339 Brady Lane, cuz that's where I'll be. If ya got any spare metal or whatever, bring that along. I'm not expecting payment, but some company, some supplies or maybe even some snacks or somethin' would be great! Thanks, guys.

[If you stop by, Quinn will be merrily dismantling parts in his garage, his laptop set up and playing music like usual - but at an acceptable volume level this time.]

Actually we got plenty of steel, thanks to the cars and this town's lovely way it regenerates stuff! That should be no problem.

Archer huh? Archer who knows swords. Got it. [He chuckles.]

That's true, but even then the steel of the 1950's is junk compared to modern day steel.

I'm not actually much of an archer. It's just something I know how to do.

We gotta make do. And heck, these 50s cars are pretty tough! Be glad we got stuck in an era where they're still made of metal and not fiberglass, or we wouldn't be able to do this at all.

True enough. I wouldn't know much about it, being born only a few decades later, but the materials here still aren't as developed as they will be in a couple more decades. They couldn't have picked a better time period for us to get trapped in I guess.

What year ya from, man? Ya sound like ya got here from around my time - 2010.
