23rd Fix

[technohippie]

[Quinn hasn't been himself lately. The fallout event was rough on him, and he keeps losing friends lately. Finding April droned - seemingly for good - really stung. He seems to drift into space a lot, but if you ask him if anything is wrong, he gives you his usual grin and says he's totally cool. He spends a lot of time mindlessly playing video games in his garage.

And look! Something has come in the mail for Quinn Hatch today. Curious as to what they could be sending him, he's excited to open it. Mayfield has returned a lot cool stuff to him, but instead what does he find? A case of cigarettes. To the guy who's trying to quit. And has been failing miserably.

Well, Mayfield has won this battle. Anyone living in or passing by 339 Brady Lane today will find Quinn sitting on the porch steps, a box of Newports lying next to him, and a cigarette popped in his mouth. The nicotine doesn't seem to be helping much though. He looks a bit miserable. No sense covering it up now, he figures.]

[Phone call filtered from drones:]

Um. Hey guys. Hope you're all doin' better. I just wanted to let y'all know that April Sinclair seems to be droned for good. So, uh, if ya know her and see her, don't be too shocked. Sorry to drop bad news, but...

[Feeling awkward, Quinn just hangs up.]

[Her run-ins with Daniel were rare enough that he had slipped her mind, especially now that she was having trouble keeping her thoughts in order thanks to the damage from the Thundaga spell. It had left her with worse short-term memory than usual and seizures to boot, though the latter were mercifully rare. The memory problems, however? Were chronic and irritating.]

Yeah, I wouldn't suggest that either, in a place like this you practically need constant vigilance.

[She cracks a rare--if sad--smile, her tail spasming as it wags.]

Nah, I'll just live with it. Want me to bake something?

"Doesn't mean it's not still fun on occasion." [He gives her a wink.]

"Only if you're feeling up to it. I don't want you to run yourself down on something like that."
