10th Fix

[Phone: filtered from NPCs:]

Hey, guys! Just wanted to let ya'll know that the forge in my yard has been ready to go. It ain't much, but it does the trick. Not too bad for a guy who's never even seen one outside of a Renaissance Fair if I do say so myself! Thing is, I've never built anythin' like swords or whatever before. Computers and electronics are more my thing. So's there anyone out there who does? I collected some scrap metal from cars and such around here to use. Be glad we're in the 50s, when cars were actually still made outta metal. We can start meltin' 'em down and stuff, but I dunno what to make the hilts or whatever out of, or... well, anythin' else about aswords. I hate to say it, but I'm a little stumped on where to go from here.


[Action:
Quinn's been in a great mood ever since he got the courage to open up his latest regain. It's one of his favorite guilty pleasures, mostly because through his technomancy, iPads are fun to talk to. He can be found walking around town with it, sitting with it at the diner, or in the high school faculty break room... however, he doesn't even need to touch it to have it do anything. Apps and images zoom by without him needing to move a muscle, thanks to his ability. He looks positively tickled to have this thing back. And he's so absorbed in it, he might not hear you talking to him at first, or he might walk right into you. It's a good thing he's so tall, so you can see him coming...]

Can you make clank parts as well?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Good question. I mean, can we modify some of the steel I have? Or do ya need to melt 'em down completely and use molds or whatever?

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

Mostly, I need springs, actually. If you can make springs and gears, then modifying things to make the casings will be very simple.

In the faculty breakroom

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, party guy. What's that?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[It takes him a moment to realize someone just said something to him.]

Oh, hey. It's a computer I just got sent from home! Cool, huh?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

It's so small!

[Hello I am from the 80's and thus have never seen an iPad before]

Forgive me if I'm interrupting anything, but what is that?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[Oooh he forgot about all the new-- wait, Quinn, someone's talking to you.]

Hey, Lion. It's an iPad. Just got it sent back from home. Not exactly top of my list of things I'd like back, but it's still pretty fun.

[beamiracle.livejournal.com]

An iPad, is it...

[Leans over a little to look at it.] I've never seen anything like it before. It looks quite interesting.

Facility Break Room

[Your friendly sociopathic AI/Science teacher doesn't notice you as she is rather busy putting up a poster (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090804095832/half-life/en/images/3/37/Aperture_poster003a2.png) in the break room.

In fact you're most likely going to walk right into her.]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey there was some music on this computer too, maybe he can-- SLAM. Sorry, GLaDOS, but he ends up running right into you.

Naturally, since it's her, he's now terrified.]

Wh-whoa! Hey. Um. Sorry 'bout that. Really.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[Glances over at him.]

You should be more careful where you're walking.

[Her voice is clipped but she's rather distracted as she grabs her poster before it falls on the ground.]

[Kay's sitting in the next booth over at the diner. She is now peering over Quinn's shoulder, looking at the iPad.]

Hey, is that what I think it is?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't hear her at first, but then he shakes his head and sees Kay taking a peek.]

An iPad? Yep! Just got it sent back to me.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I always wanted one, but I never had enough money.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

If Cid were here, he'd be able to make anything. I probably should've listened to him more when he was going on about that kind of thing . . .

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I could use a guy like that. I'm pretty good at buildin' stuff, but usually I got more access to parts and references back home.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

I think building is probably a little easier than throwing stuff in a fire and trying to make it into something useful.

Oh, yeah! That reminds me. I got a magic knife back a while ago.

[You've walked into Death. Now wearing his usual black robe.]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

[STARING

KINDA SORTA TERRIFIED.

Quinn's seen him around the school before, but has avoided him like the plague.]

Oh oh man I'm so sorry dude I shoula been lookin' where I was goin' it was really stupid of me.

[likescats.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. He's totally used to this reaction.]

THAT'S QUITE ALRIGHT.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

If you find someone who knows how to make swords I think I know someone who would be thrilled.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I figured! I heard so many people on the phone lines askin' about 'em. Now I just gotta find someone who knows. There's gotta be!

[sveariket.livejournal.com]

'm can help.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

I figured I could count on you, man! Stop by sometime when you're free, we can start drawin' up some plans or somethin'.
