technohippieAfter talking with Sanguinius, and realizing that his one-year Mayfield anniversary is around the corner, Quinn's had enough sitting on his ass doing nothing, watching his friends get hurt or droned for good.
But what can he do? His technological talents were no good here, a sort of reverse obsolescence. He wasn't physically strong - anything but. Stick-thin, 9 years as a smoker, and has barely ever exercised in his life. That, and he abhorred violence, and was a coward to top it off. What could he do?
It was time to change all that! He had to become a better person. Time to shape up, Quinn Hatch!
For the next few days Quinn will be up to the following things:
[1) Quitting smoking, going cold turkey. It's not the best way to do it, especially when you have a 2-packs-a-day habit. At home and at school, he'll be noticeably, uncharacteristically irritable. That ever-present cigarette not being in his mouth might be a clue to the observant.]
Okay, today in class, everyone's just gonna sit quietly and... read. Or somethin'. Whatever ya want, so long as it's quiet. Sound good?
[2) Jogging through the neighborhood. No, it's not a joke. Well okay, maybe it is, because it's pathetic. He's trying really hard, but he gets about two blocks before he's leaning against a lamp post, wheezing and sweating.]
This is... bullshit, man. People seriously... do this... every damn day? For miles?
[3) The garage doors of 339 Brady Lane are open as always, the space Quinn has converted into his hang out and shop. The giant TV is currently playing a movie. It's Cloverfield to anyone who knows it; to anyone else it's a shaky camera movie involving monsters and a lot of screaming, stupid people. Quinn only has it on for background noise, though. He's got parts strewn all over the table, as he's dismantled dozens of appliances and machinery. He's currently standing in front of his laptop, doing inventory on what he has. Feel free to stop in.]
[4)Speaking of laptops, in the mail Quinn gets his next regain - his first ever computer, given to him when he was only 8 years old, right after his technomancy powers came to be. Baffled as to why Mayfield would send him this, of all things, he gets a good laugh at it. You might come across him in the garage, playing around with it, smiling the whole while.]

Action - 3
Date: 2011-09-15 04:18 pm (UTC)[He's also just as heavily armed as he has been ever since the Milkman took over as Chief of Police, with both his shotgun and his sidearm.]
[But as he crosses in front of 339 Brady Lane, the sounds of a movie playing from the garage make him slow down and listen. In fact, judging from the quality of the audio, someone's watching a movie made in—for Balin at least—recent years. Cloverfield didn't come out before the Bane invaded, though, so he doesn't recognize the film for what it is.]
[Nevertheless, it's enough to make Balin approach the garage and poke his head in with curiosity—then look absolutely shocked to see the modern electronics in there.]
Holy shit they were right!
[... yeah. Really shocked.]

Date: 2011-09-15 04:27 pm (UTC)[Then Balin realizes that Quinn's talking to him. And looks a little startled.]
Uh—oh, hey! Sorry, just—holy shit, how did you get all this?!
[Coherent thoughts, what are those?]

Date: 2011-09-15 04:32 pm (UTC)[Logical conclusion, of course. Hey Quinn, don't mind if Balin starts poking around in your garage looking at everything you've regained.]
... Okay, you're from some time near me, I get that much. What year was it for you when Mayfield dragged your ass in here?

Date: 2011-09-15 05:00 pm (UTC)[He doesn't mind at all. In fact, his mood is turning around, having a visitor from his time.]
Yeah? I'm from 2010. What about you?

Date: 2011-09-15 05:02 pm (UTC)[He stands up a bit straighter now, taking a deep breath. His hand reflexively goes to his pocket - but there's no cigarettes there. He sighs.]

[And here's your first clue that something's off about your fellow modern man, Quinn: He picks up the iPad, studying it curiously like he's never seen one before.]
... Apple made a bigger iPhone? When'd'at happen?

Date: 2011-09-15 05:54 pm (UTC)When he sees he has a visitor, he gives her a tired smile. He's used to people stopping by to take a peek; it's something he hopes for.]
Hey there.

So this is where we woulda been if'a Bane didn't hit ...
