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.]

[Also there so she doesn't get droned. She walks into the class room. She looks...really tired.]

Oh good you're still alive.

[Which she shouldn't care about at all, but someones feeling a little more....human today.]

Did you not get a letter either?

[He blinks at her a moment, confused. Those are strange words coming from GLaDOS.]

Ah, no, thankfully I didn't. Still doesn't mean I ain't sick to my stomach about this whole thing.

[She nods.]

A....friend of mine....from home got one.

[Ahaha...Caroline is loud today.]

...the lunatic is probably enjoying this.

[But never without snark.]

Friend from home...?

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Yes. She's a test subject there.

She's also mute and a murderer, but I'd like to think she's put the later behind her by now.

The town really isn't helping with that.

[Test subject? Does she mean...?]

Ah, yeah, well... the town don't ever help with much.

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

[She nods.]

A shame.

Oh well, I don't have to worry about her so much now that we've stopped trying to kill each other all the time.

[Best relationship ever.]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Ah.

Yeah, that's always good.

[God this is so awkward, which is a feeling Quinn is not accustomed to dealing with.]

[getsciencedone.livejournal.com]

Yes. It really is.

[She looks over at him.]

Well I'd better get back to my class.

Goodbye Quinn.

[Totally normal.]

[He watches her walk away, still mildly stupefied.]

Right... Take it easy.
