15th Fix

[technohippie]

[Quinn knows he can't hide in Cyuss's house forever. Eventually, he has to go back to work or he'll get droned into doing it, which is the last thing he wants to happen, next to being brutally murdered like most of the town has been. Luckily, he didn't get a letter, but that doesn't make him feel much better. He knows that friends of his out there are dead or going crazy and there's nothing he can do about it.

Quinn manages to drag himself to school, and seeing a meager amount of non-drones amongst the staff and classes, he's not sure what to do.]

Um. Let's just call this a free study period, okay? Just take it easy.

So... How is everyone holding up?

[On the way home, he'll be make a quick stop for food and cigarettes. He'll be walking hastily back to Cyuss's house, but you're free to stop him along the way.]

-And in the 50's, no one gave a fuck if you lit up in doors. Jotaro strikes a match and puffs vigorously.-

Fucking town had me smoking again after being clean for twenty years...

Damn. It's got me goin' from a pack a day to three. I dunno how much it's actually helpin'.

[stardust-legacy.livejournal.com]

Not a lot, to be honest.

Did ya get one of those letters? I didn't, but it ain't stoppin' me from bein' a nervous wreck.

...Actually, ya don't have to answer that if ya don't want. If ya do, the less people who know, the better, right?

[stardust-legacy.livejournal.com]

I don't intend to do anything with it, regardless.

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Good, good. At least ya seem to be holdin' it together better than most folks. But I don't think much ever bothers you, from what I've seen.

[Quinn smirks a bit.] Case in point. Man, I wish I had nerves of steel. I ain't so good dealin' with this place sometimes.

[stardust-legacy.livejournal.com]

No one should be. Anyone who takes this kind of thing in stride is probably someone you don't want to be around.

I guess ya have a point. Lotta crazy people in this town. Otherwise, people'd still be alive...
