6th Fix

[technohippie]

[Today was a good day for Mr. Quinn Hatch. Not only was his technomancy waiting for him under the tree this morning, but there was a package on the porch for him as well. It contained a totally bitchin' turntable set inside! Quinn is positively giddy with these, and as a result today you'll find him:

A) In the garage, rocking the neighborhood out. He had his music laptop returned to him last time, and he has it hooked up to his turntable. He's gotten some vinyls from the record store too. So you'll be hearing all different kinds of music coming from his house today. He's having an absolute blast in there.

B) In the different stores, and around his house and the town, talking to various appliances and machinery. Yes, talking. Quinn can communicate with them with his powers, and now that he has them back, he has some catching up to do. He's cheerfully chatting up toasters, cars, lampposts, his computer, anything. Yes, he knows how strange this looks, but he also doesn't give a damn.]

[Watches Quinn cahtting it up with a car. HE KNEW THAT THESE THINGS WEREN'T JUST THINGS.]

I'd be glad to fix your transmission, but I ain't sure who owns ya, so... [Uh oh, he's being watched again. He waves.]

Hey, man! Don't mind me. I promise I ain't goin' crazy or anything.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

Y' can talk t' them. [He just guesses that it is like Norway's trolls, that just won't talk to him or Denmark.]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Any kinda machine, really. I've been without it for so long now while here. I'm so glad they gave it back!

What does 't say?

[It is some kind of part of being a Nordic nation, regarding the strangest things as normal.]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[Magic's a pretty normal thing in Quinn's life too.]

Most things I talked to 'round here are pretty content! I wonder if they act droned just like the people do... This car has a transmission problem though, that its owner's ignorin'. I could fix it, but it ain't my car, ya know?

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

Y' can ask th'm.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[B-But that would requite *effort*!] Naw, that's okay. I gotta worry 'bout my own stuff before I can go fixin' other people's.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

[That would make it a better deed by default.]

Y' said 't 's content.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, most things I talk to so far are. But the town wouldn't have mechanics if things didn't break down.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

T' keep up appearanc's?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I guess. Ya'd think if Mayfield wanted to be "perfect" they'd never break down. But then there'd be no use for mechanics 'n' all.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

Or doct'rs.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Ha, right? I bet that's the worst! Maybe I shouldn't complain about my job, then.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

What 's 't?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I'm a high school teacher. Not too fond of it, but I guess it could be worse.

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

's a lot of read'ng?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

It's a lot of work in general. A lot of work I ain't fond of, or used to but, like I said, could be worse!

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

...agr'd.

[He doesn't like the "job" that the town gave to him, either. He'd rather do something productive.]
