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...]

Well I could, but drones hardly notice they're gone.

Refresh my memory - are they entirely magically powered, or do you use some sort of power source?

Buncha redneck fire mages? I think ya can guess.

They're clockworks. I can use steam power, but I don't think it's practical here.

....WHAT IS A COMPUTER?

Well, maybe, but it ain't like cars can't function without the bumper. But get this. Drone dad sees the bumper's gone. He takes the car to the mechanics and gets it replaced. So basically we can just farm car parts all we want to make swords!

Oh! It's a machine. Does lots of stuff. This one, especially. What do ya like?

...IS THERE AN IMP IN THERE?

...I LIKE CATS.

Imp? N-No, it's kinda like, mechanical? There's a battery.


Cats? Oh, good! I got that. [Luckily for Death, Quinn had the video he showed Kay earlier in there of a kitten riding a tortoise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjZqZWbmXK4).]

Check it out! It's uh, kinda like the televisions here!

[Whiles Sweden does not approve of these methods, he isn't hypocrite enough to scold the other for it any further, so he just shrugs, notices that the phone does not convey that motion, and answers:]

Nobod' investigates?

NO MAGIC THEN?

It'll wash all the gunk and gore and stuff off. Definitely cleaner than otherwise.

Gettin' another racket and a net shouldn't be too hard to get here though. Then you'll be all ready for spring!

Sweet! What kinda food?

Mostly did stuff for my family. Finances, keepin' their sorry butts outta trouble, travelin'... not bad, really. They're mages, ya see. Fire mages for the most part, so they're always in trouble.

Not if ya do it right, man! Mayfield's on auto-pilot for little stuff like that. So long as ya don't go around doin' it in broad daylight, and takin' 'em from every car in the neighborhood, ya should be fine.

Ramen and chinese food.

So you're one of those magic people? How does that work? Do you have to kill another wizard to get your powers? Did you have a tower?

From: [identity profile] techno-mancer.livejournal.com
I guess I was thinkin' about, like, ya explodin' monsters like water balloons.

Sadly no, classy as it is. What's your opinion on car batteries?

[[Shudder. Hate.]]

I tolerated using them precisely once...

I use magic to do stuff with it, but that's something entirely different. Usually you just use your finger to just go through the menus and stuff, but, um...

[He gives Death a sheepish look. It's not going to work with skeleton hands.]
