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.]

[Swords you say? This is relevant to his interests.]

Are you free now, by any chance? I would very much like to speak with you on the matter of forging weapons.

Swords are lame.

You know what you should really make? Magic rods. If you do it right, anyone can pick them up and cast magic with 'em.

I can help you design them, if you give me a model to work off of. If you're willing to do the forging yourself then I won't bother with that part.

I can't help you with swords in particular, but if you could make clank parts for me, I can start designing something that will work -properly- to defend us.

[Guess who's made his way to your house, Quinn? It's the blue-haired bartender you chatted up awhile ago! You see, you said the magic word: 'swords'. And now, here he is.]

Hey. You said you wanted someone who knows swords?

What 'bout battleaxes?

I may need to use your forge in the future, for my machines. To that end, I'll provide assistance if it's needed; the Kaiser can do a lot of heavy lifting if he needs to.

[In your garage, watchin' you pull stuff apart.] I wonder how many swords you can make if you melted down every car in town?
