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.]

Well... I sure hope she did, darlin'. That means all her stuff went with her. Goat included.

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

Argh! I was hoping she still left her goat so I can have so many adventures with it!

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Uh. Well, yeah, sorry to break the bad news...?

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

It's okay! I guess I'll find a new animal I can really really want and eventually get. Do you have any cool pets?! [ .... She wants your pets, hhhhhh. B) Especially if they do something exciting! ]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Nope, sorry. Someone else might?

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

Can you give me any names that I can check up on later?!

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Um, none off the top of my head, sorry.

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

Geez, are you some kind of shut in or something?

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

Uh, no? I just don't keep track of people's pets.

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

That's weird. You'd think you'd notice really unusual animals!!

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

There's a lotta things in Mayfield that are unusual to me. And to be fair, somethin' that's unusual to you might not be to me.

[ Silence. Nena is not quite sure how to counter this logic.

But then she thinks again. ]

So you've never seen a monkey, or a fire-breathing dog, or a cat that can make itself invisible or anything that's unusual like that?!

[ .....She can't possibly fail now! ]

[techno-mancer.livejournal.com]

No, no, 'n' no. But, uh, I'll let ya know when I see 'em? There, ah, some talkin' ponies around I think...

[partytoastess.livejournal.com]

Oh! Yeah! Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy! I'm already friends with them!
