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...]

[[Shudder. Hate.]]

I tolerated using them precisely once...

They're out best bet, really. I figure we can practically farm 'em like I've been doin' with the bumpers. It's pretty much a never-endin' supply.

Electricity is terrible, though. It's banned in my world, and I can't wait to get away from it.

What, seriously? Why? Man, ya'd hate my world then. I mean, it's pretty much like this place, but way in the future. I'm from 2010.

I'm from 2010 as well, but it's not like this at all. Nor were the fifties like this. After Tesla's demonstrations, it's clear that electricity's only practical application is as a death ray.

Wow, we come from exceedingly different places. But I can tell ya, ya'll didn't give Tesla enough credit. I guess that's neither here nor there. Electricity's what we got, and electricity's what I know.

I hate the stuff. It's horrible to work with.

Well good luck gettin' steam in this place, darlin'. Though, I bet if ya make some kinda wood furance, it'd work. There's plenty of that 'round here.

I prefer to work with pure clockwork. It's not as heavy duty, but...finesse outpaces brute strength anyway.

Then we best get to work on some gear molds then! You're welcome anytime, darlin'.

....Thank you. I...

Please don't call me that. [[And it sounds like she's ready to burst into tears.]]

[Anyone who's talked to Quinn would notice he calls most girls this - Theta is not an exception to this. However, any negative reaction to it is usually annoyance, not crying.]

Whoa, whoa, kiddo. I-- don't mean anythin' by it?

My...Darling still hasn't snapped out of it...

Oh, ya mean-- sorry to hear it. Didn't mean to hit a sore spot there. [Honerstly, he barely realizes he calls people that.]

......Do...you know how long someone stays droned before they snap out of it...if it's looking to be a long time?

[[She really, really doesn't want an honest answer. She wants Albedo back.]]

I wish I knew. I hear people can come back at any time, right? So don't lose hope.

No...I...have to keep holding on...

This town is fulla surprises. Ya never know when they might turn back up.

Hey, I know it must be tough, but that ain't true at all.

[[She laughs ruefully, and it doesn't sound entirely sane.]]

I've always been better than the rest...but I've been brought back down to level...

Only if ya let 'em. Keep your chin up, I know ya can!

I... If you say so. [[Sigh. Still battling tears.]]
