8th Fix

[Phone: Call filtered from drones/NPCs:]

Mornin', everyone! Seems like we got our latest flock of new people floodin' in. First, my apologies ya gotta be stuck in this place. Second, I can fill ya in on some of the details if no one hasn't yet. Third, and this one's for everyone, I'm hostin' a party this Saturday night at my place! It's for Valentine's Day, but it's also a good time for all the newbies to have a meet 'n' greet. Get to know your neighbors. All ages, too!

My name's Quinn, and I'm at 339 Brady. Party starts at 8, and there's gonna be live music so get ready to dance! Oh yeah, it's BYOB too, but we should hopefully have enough for everyone. No dress code either. Wear whatever ya like!

[Action: In Quinn's homeroom class a few days ago, he was instructed by school administration to hand out some career surveys to the class. He turned them all in once the kids gave them back, only to have them returned by the admins a few days later, assigning everyone generic Mayfield jobs like mechanic or teacher; most of the girls even got "housewife".

He looks them over while at his desk, frowning at them, before balling them all up and tossing them into the trash.]

Well that was a waste of time. Sorry, guys. How about ya tell me what it is ya wanna do for a living once ya get outta here? Or that ya do already, since half of ya'll ain't kids anyway. I know none of us wanna be Mayfield drones the rest of our lives!

"Classified"? Where's the fun in that?

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... well, it's not really classified, but you'd probably think badly of me if I said it...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

It'd take a whole hell of a lot to shock me, kiddo.

...

... *is that an appraising look she's giving you, or is she just giving her usual blank look*

... if you promise you won't tell anybody else...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Your secret's safe with me!

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... I've caused various forms of conflict on other worlds... for the purpose of strengthening them...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Wow, sounds pretty heavy. Did ya like doin' stuff like that?

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... ...

... I suppose I enjoyed it sometimes...? ... but it's not my favorite thing to do...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Ok then, if ya could have any job in the universe ya wanted, what would it be?

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... I don't really want any one particular job, I'd just like to travel and see the various forms of technology...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me. I'd do something like that! Or just travel in general. Bein' stuck in the one town for so long is makin' me claustrophobic.

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... I don't like the town itself much, but some people around here regain some interesting technology...

...

... though, if I had the chance, I'd like to look into the fabric of this universe to see how it works...

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Man, that's so true! The people here and their awesome. And they bring along some cool stuff.

...How ya plan on doin' somethin' like that.

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... I have the tools to do so on my ship... but I'm not sure if it's possible... Mayfield was able to neutralize my powers, after all...

what was that sentence i typed up there, idek. sorry!

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I hardly doubt they're eager to give back cool stuff like that. Too bad though, sounds awesome!

I-it's fine if it's "there" instead of "their" ^^;;;

[has-a-name.livejournal.com]

... yes...

... and if they did give something that could do that, they'd reduce its power...
