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?

In the faculty breakroom

Oh hey, party guy. What's that?

Faculty break room

[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?

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.]

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?

[identity profile] ergaleomancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly, I need springs, actually. If you can make springs and gears, then modifying things to make the casings will be very simple.

[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?

[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?

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.

[identity profile] nomammano.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It's so small!

[identity profile] beamiracle.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
An iPad, is it...

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

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I always wanted one, but I never had enough money.

[identity profile] prodigious-mage.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
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 . . .

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.]

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep! It ain't even the smallest... What year are ya from?

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Think ya can help me make some molds, then? I bet we can at least make some gears. Springs sounds tougher, but I'll work on it.

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep! It's a computer. To be honest, I don't have a whole lotta use for it, but it's fun. Especially here in Mayfielld I can't do much with it. Can't get any new apps or anythin' for it here. Glad I loaded it up before I got whisked away!

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sorry. Was distracted.

[He takes a look at the poster. O-Oh god why are you hanging that up *here*?]


...Where'd ya get that?

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not too useful in Mayfield, but I loaded it up, mostly with books. I'm glad I did, since it's not like I can download anythin' here for it.

[identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The town gave some back to me. I thought I'd put them up. I thought it might be "Motivational".

Besides, we're always looking for new people.

[identity profile] nomammano.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
2008.

[identity profile] beamiracle.livejournal.com 2011-02-25 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
A computer? It's so small...

Well, you must be happy to have it, then.
