technohippie: (but but!)

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.

No, that was her.

[And you know what is really creepy. There's a very strong hint of pride on her face and in her voice.]

Huh. I'll have to meet her someday, I guess.

You might.

[The smile is suddenly scary again.]

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.

[Damn it.....she's just going to tell you what she thinks of what you're-....]



...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.

[WHOA WHAT. Is that in the game somewhere oh god why does he never pay attention to plot] Wait, you mean-- You were a person at one time?! Just just a complete AI?

I'm sure there's plenty you don't know about me.

I like singing.

[Damn it. That was not supposed to slip out.......]

Ya know, I ain't surprised.

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2011-07-21 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Especially Opera.

.....You're not surprised?

[Only that last part was supposed to be said.]

There's a song at the end of the game. [He sighs. He wants to stop talking plz.]

[identity profile] getsciencedone.livejournal.com 2011-07-22 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What sort of song?
