17th Fix
[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.

Oh. Heh. Ya know, it's guy problems this time. I never usually have problems with the guys. [He shakes his head.] This whole truth-spillin' thing made me shove my foot so far down my throat, it's a wonder I'm still standin'.
no subject
Anyway.
[She waves a hand as if to clear the air.]
This is not about me running my mouth off. So please feel free to stop me if I get started. Let's focus on you for a bit. And you might be surprised, but you wouldn't be the first guy I've had a talk like this with.
Okay, so you totally shot your mouth off, and you can't change that. Everybody's been doing it, so at least you're not alone. So, the key thing to do is to at least stand by what you said. It might not've come out the way you wanted it to, but it's out where the other person can think it over. So, how did it go?
no subject
I dunno. It was pretty bad. It came out way different than I meant, I think. Except I did mean it or I wouldn't've said it, right?
[He sighs, taking off his glasses to rub his eyes.] Insteada sayin' "I like you, Cyuss, let's go out sometime again" or somethin', I pretty much told him that I really really just wanna sleep with him.
no subject
Okay, I can see how that might've gone better, yeah. [She reaches up to scratch where her ears used to be, feeling a phantom itch.]
How'd he take it? If he didn't completely flip out you can still make the offer, you know.
no subject
He responded by telling me he was still a virgin and then he knocked over a fence. Could have gone better.
... Shit. If you ever meet him, don't tell him I told you that.
no subject
[She huffs with a grin.]
Wolf's honor, won't say a thing. Hopefully. Can't make any promises right now. But! He might've just knocked down the fence because he was so flustered he didn't know how else to handle it. Shonen hero types are kind of like that.
no subject
I dunno if he counts as one of those, technically, but he's got a hell of a temper, and he was a knight, so I guess it's close.
no subject
Well, aside from punching out the fence, did he really seem mad? I think you should try to talk it out with him instead of running away.
no subject
...
He did say he had thought about the same thing at least. So. 'S a good sign. Maybe. Had I not, ya know, ruined it.
no subject
So did he say he was going to punch you?
[She's arching a heavy eyebrow as she studies him carefully.]
no subject
…Man. I am such an idiot.
no subject
So, what's the plan now, ace?
no subject
no subject
But do what you'd like, it's your decision in the end either way.

Whatever works for you.
