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.]

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

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

[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.
