18th Fix

[technohippie]

[This morning, a very large package arrived on the porch of 339 Brady Lane with Quinn's name on it. He looks at it for a moment, but the wonder doesn't last long - he knows exactly what it is. Gleefully, he skips off into the garage and runs back out with a hammer to pry the huge box apart. Inside is a massive flat screen TV, 60 inches long. Anyone inside the house or nearby can see this, and hear him exclaim with you upon seeing it. You might even find him just standing there with his hand on it, silently, happily.


Later, in the garage, you'll find him with it all set up, a few more chairs added for viewing pleasure, the laptop hooked in and playing movies. If he's not watching anything, you might find him just standing there with his hand on it, silent and smiling. This would probably look creepy to anyone who doesn't know he can talk to machines.]


[PHONE CALL: open, filtered from drones:]

Hey! Anyone out there interested in watchin' some movies, we can finally move off my dinky laptop and watch 'em on a WAY better screen! And I got a better collection by far, anyway. 339 Brady Lane - bring a chair and some popcorn, and come any time. I'll be out here all day.




Um. Hey. Look, I have no idea if ya even wanna talk to me, but I'd like the chance, if I could. I'll be in the garage, as usual, if ya do.

W-wait, you've got a laptop, a screen, and movies? What kind of movies?

[Mart was coming by expecting to just see some movies off of Quinn's laptop.

Now, he is gonna watch in style seeing that mother of all TVs]

Holy.

You got Frank's 2000" TV?

[She is so there. So after getting the required items, she approaches Quinn with a grin.] Hey, Quinn!

"Quinn. If you'd like to share resources again, perhaps we can set your television and computer into the holoprojectors Omoikane has and make a larger screen."

[This drags her out of her hiding place after her traumatic experience coming home from work.]

The hell is going on out here?

[Raz has just been

for like an hour.

It's as big as he is how can this be.]

[Tarvek taps cautiously at the door of the garage. He's got a chair, and a bouquet of foil containers of Jiffy-Pop. He also has only the beginnings of an idea how all this works, or what it means. He's from a very different culture and he's just beginning to catch on to TV and movies. But communing with machines? No problem. He's a techno-mage in his own right, if only beginning to get back his skills.]

Hi? Um -- Ilsa Higa says I have to come on over. She thinks I'll really like this. [He lifts the shimmery Jiffy-Pop cluster.] She told me that the popcorn would be a better gift than the wine I was going to bring. But... I can bring wine, too, if you want.

[His next lines blend mild jealousy with honest, real curiosity and a yen to share a friendship. He adores Ilsa...] So. Ilsa says you're a friend...She really seems to like you...

[Spots TV, finally...]

Whoa. WHOA! That's... it's really... That's BIG!

I asked Ilsa, by the way, but she said to ask you. What's a "Spielberg"?

(yea) like a boss

...So you got a bigger movie watching thing?

Uh, sure, I can stop by.
