technohippie[Thanks to being at stage three, Quinn really messed stuff up with his best friend in town. He's wrestling with a lot of feelings that a chill and in-control guy like him never deals with normally, and still being under the secret-blurting effect, really wants to get this off his chest to someone. The problem is that he doesn't know who to go to, and he doesn't really want to start blurting out more secrets and ruining more friendships today. Oh, but he really does want to talk, doesn't he? Thanks, Mayfield.
What Quinn will be up to:
A) In the garage at home, doors open, playing with all his electronics as usual. There's music playing, but it's not blaring this time. The ashtray on his table is overflowing with cigarette butts. Quinn's just making himself look busy, tinkering around with no real goal in mind. He'll be using his technomancy, talking to his electronics about his problems, but they don't really get it.
B) He'll be stopping in to check on his buddy Scott Pilgrim, who, from the last call he made, sounded pretty bad off. Knock knock at 2242 Stevens Road.
C) Out at the grocery store, restocking on cigarettes. And maybe some beer. And keeping his head town to hopefully avoid people! Quinn looking nervous and worried is pretty unusual to anyone who knows him.
D) At night, Quinn's at the park, laying at the grass and looking up at the stars. His laptop is next to him, and he has his headphones phones on and a cigarette in his mouth. This is his best idea on how to shut off both the world and his mind for awhile, but that doesn't prevent anyone from approaching him.

Date: 2011-07-18 09:19 pm (UTC)Er, anyway, I basically blurted out something about my past that I've never really told anybody before over the phones... b-but I've been okay despite that. Now I'm just trying to make sure I don't blurt out anything else. [She gives a sheepish smile and laugh as she rubs the back of her neck.]

Settling down with a nice mage boy isn't an option in your family yet? or a couple of mages to settle in with?

But...if you try anything or if I find out something happened to her and you're responsible... I don't think Caroline will mind if I introduce you to a good friend of mine. His name is 'deadly nuerotoxin' and he just loves meeting new people.

Date: 2011-07-18 11:12 pm (UTC)Daddy's just been worried that I haven't brought anybody home to meet them in... a while.
[ She frowns. ]
Last one I introduced to the family was... six years ago? Has it been that long?

no subject
Date: 2011-07-18 11:19 pm (UTC)...She's who I used to be before my mind was shoved into a computer. Now that I remember her she likes to act as my conscience.

Date: 2011-07-19 01:43 am (UTC)Ha, my family's more surprised when I do bring someone home. Cuz I mean, pretty much everyone breaks up with me fast so I don't usually-- Nng. [GODDAMNIT MAYFIELD.]

Would you say that this friend of yours is any different from your other lovers in the past?
