Hey everyone. Now that things are hopefully quiet again, I have some news for ya'll. I know I ain't the only one with some computer stuff here. Besides my laptop and iPad, I just got some servers back from home. Those along with Ruri's crazy futuristic super computer should be enough to get us all networked together! Now, if ya don't wanna, I understand, cuz ya have some sensitive materials ya don't wanna share on your machine. It won't be full access anyway, ya only have to share what ya want! So if you're interested, lemme know, and we'll get to work on it. I wanna see how many people we've got to work with. And if ya get a computer in the future, just gimme a call and we'll get ya hooked up. My name's Quinn.

[Never mind that he could use his technomancy to easily access whatever he wanted on your computer. OH WELL. He won't mention that part.]

---

[Action: Quinn about town! You might find him in the following places:

- He's standing outside the barber shop, wondering if he should get a haircut. He hasn't had one since getting to Mayfield, and that ponytail is well past his shoulders now.

- At the department store, looking over the appliances and talking to them. Yep. You might find him talking to the display models (so long as they're plugged in/have batteries). He'll have them in his hands and will be talking quietly and pleasantly to them. Mostly he's looking for anything he might be able to disassemble and use for spare parts, but making some new friends is always nice.

- Later that night, he's at the tavern, having a few drinks and talking to anyone and everyone at the bar. He's been a bit lonely lately, and he wants to make some new friends! Or just get laid. He might be hitting on you. Yes, you.
Anyone.]

Good mornin', Mayfield. This is just your friendly reminder that I'm closin' the Prom Queen 'n' King ballots tomorrow night. Make sure ya hit up the box either in my classroom or my garage before then, if ya haven't already!

So, how go things for this otherwise? My thoughts are that we probably need more food, now that it seems most of the town's turnin' up for this thing. And how goes the decoration committee? And ya'll got your fancy clothes ready too, I hope. Even I'm turnin' up in a tux, so ya'll got no excuse!

[There's a brief pause. Quinn doesn't have a date yet, and in the last few weeks, nearly half of his friends in town have been droned for what looks to be for good. Talk about a bummer. There's a quiet, uncharacteristic sigh on his end before he speaks again, cheerful as ever.]

Hey, anyone still need a date to this thing? If ya can believe it, yours truly is still available. Cyuss, what about you? April, you're comin' to this thing, right? I ain't against the idea of a blind date, either! Get back to me.

[Phone call: filtered from the usual NPCs:]

Hey hey, Mayfield! I have a proposition I know ya'll can't resist. See, I work at the high school, and I've heard all the drone kids whisperin' about prom comin' up. 'Cept, if ya ask me, a prom fulla drones sounds about the lamest and creepiest thing ever. So I'm gonna hold our own prom without 'em! Shouldn't he too hard to keep 'em all outta our hair for one night, right? Oh yeah, for those of ya'll who come from places that don't have it, the prom is a big formal dance that high schools usually have in the spring. Usually they're pretty lame, but I know we can make it awesome.

I'm gonna use the school gym, and make it Friday the twenty-ninth. And it ain't just for high school students. Anyone can come! But I ain't lettin' ya in if you ain't dressed formally. Don't tell me ya got nothin' to wear - there's plenty of shops and people who make clothes in this town. It's still the prom, so I'm expectin' ya to all look good!

Now, I got music covered. I've got my DJ stuff, laptop fulla music, and speakers. So we're good there. What I'm gonna need is people to help with set-up and food, makin' decorations. Ya know, tables 'n' chairs, makin' the place look good, and then a nice li'l prom dinner. Drinks 'n' things, too.

What ya'll think? Sound good? I know ya'll can never have enough parties in this depressing place, so let's do this! Get the word out, cuz I wanna see as many people as possible there too. Let's see... we'll need a theme, too. And a vote for prom king and queen - I can do that at the school. Let me hear your ideas, guys!

[Phone: Call filtered from drones/NPCs:]

Mornin', everyone! Seems like we got our latest flock of new people floodin' in. First, my apologies ya gotta be stuck in this place. Second, I can fill ya in on some of the details if no one hasn't yet. Third, and this one's for everyone, I'm hostin' a party this Saturday night at my place! It's for Valentine's Day, but it's also a good time for all the newbies to have a meet 'n' greet. Get to know your neighbors. All ages, too!

My name's Quinn, and I'm at 339 Brady. Party starts at 8, and there's gonna be live music so get ready to dance! Oh yeah, it's BYOB too, but we should hopefully have enough for everyone. No dress code either. Wear whatever ya like!

[Action: In Quinn's homeroom class a few days ago, he was instructed by school administration to hand out some career surveys to the class. He turned them all in once the kids gave them back, only to have them returned by the admins a few days later, assigning everyone generic Mayfield jobs like mechanic or teacher; most of the girls even got "housewife".

He looks them over while at his desk, frowning at them, before balling them all up and tossing them into the trash.]


Well that was a waste of time. Sorry, guys. How about ya tell me what it is ya wanna do for a living once ya get outta here? Or that ya do already, since half of ya'll ain't kids anyway. I know none of us wanna be Mayfield drones the rest of our lives!

[Phone call! Filtered from drones:]

Sup, everybody! Ya know, Valentine's Day's comin' up on us. And while I know Mayfield probably has some sorta fun-ruining thing in mind for us, that doesn't mean we can't celebrate anyway! So I plan on havin' a party here at my place on Brady Lane. Featuring yours truly as DJ, and my bro Scotty with his band with a live performance! 'S a matter of fact, I think he's still holdin' auditions for that. Ya'll can be ready by February fourteenth, right?

Oh, and don't worry if ya don't have a date. This is for everyone! Maybe you'll meet someone there. Speakin' of, ~ladies and gents~, I wouldn't mind havin' a date myself, if anyone's interested! [He laughs.]

If ya'll have any ideas for this party, let me know. Let's make this one for the record books!

--

[Action! In school!

Quinn gets sick of teaching high school calculus all too often, and is way more interested in his students than teaching. After all, you're people who come from all over time and space! And on occasion, video games, movies, books... Who needs math when he can talk to you about where you're from?]


So, class! We just had Christmas, New Year's and now Valentine's Day is around the bend. Ya'll have these holidays where you're from? How do ya celebrate 'em? Or do ya have other holiday entirely? Tell me about 'em!

[Today was a good day for Mr. Quinn Hatch. Not only was his technomancy waiting for him under the tree this morning, but there was a package on the porch for him as well. It contained a totally bitchin' turntable set inside! Quinn is positively giddy with these, and as a result today you'll find him:

A) In the garage, rocking the neighborhood out. He had his music laptop returned to him last time, and he has it hooked up to his turntable. He's gotten some vinyls from the record store too. So you'll be hearing all different kinds of music coming from his house today. He's having an absolute blast in there.

B) In the different stores, and around his house and the town, talking to various appliances and machinery. Yes, talking. Quinn can communicate with them with his powers, and now that he has them back, he has some catching up to do. He's cheerfully chatting up toasters, cars, lampposts, his computer, anything. Yes, he knows how strange this looks, but he also doesn't give a damn.]

[Quinn Hatch is, by nature, a people person. A party person. Mayfield is way too quiet and boring for his tastes, not to mention that he's a bit lonely and homesick. Working as a teacher has kept him busier than he thought it would, and the daily grind tough on him. Today though, he's calling out to chillax! You may find him:

1. Working in his garage on Brady Lane. From within, his regained laptop and stereo system are set up and are positively BLARING music at a drone-unacceptable level. He looks quite content though, working on something in there with some newly-acquired tools. The music is all different kinds - rock, metal, dance, rap, Quinn listens to it all. Come rock out/find out what he's doing/complain?

2. Later in the evening at the tavern. He doesn't want to drink alone, and you look like a good-looking friendly stranger! Look out, because he's sitting down next to you. If you're nice enough he might even buy you a drink.

3. Later that evening, stealing car parts. That might be your car he's harvesting. Whoops! He was meaning to get drones' cars, but who can tell in the dark, or after you've had a few too many. Double-whoops. But as far as he knows, it's the best and really only way to collect what he needs to build things.

[Quinn's still trying to get used to a "normal" day-to-day life in Mayfield... and just can't. This wholesome 1950s living is about the exact opposite of what he's used to. He's getting a bit stir-crazy. And now it's Halloween! His favorite holiday! Someone's got to be doing something, he hoped...]


H-Hey! Uh, I know I'm new and all here, and things were just kinda, shall we say, "hectic" in town, but don't tell me none of ya'll are havin' a Halloween party? Someone is, right? Talk about a waste... we should be partyin' it up. Time to kick back and have some fun after all that, ya know?


[Not exactly sure what to do with himself, Quinn will be sitting on his front porch handing out candy. He'll be dressed in an angel costume, because he thought it was kind of funny. He looks a bit mopey though. He doesn't remember the last time he's had a Halloween this lame, and he was starting to miss his family back home.]

[Quinn was warned he might be given a job here, and lo and behold, he was. But apparently he was a teacher, something he knew nothing about. Sure, calculus he could do, but teaching? High schoolers? Well, it couldn't be so hard, he thought.

However, your dear new teacher is just a bit distracted. He was still getting used to life in the 1950s with a fake family, and without his technomancy. Trying to adjust to a "normal" life. No, this wasn't normal, this was weird!

Into your classroom walks an incredibly tall and skinny man, making an attempt to look professional. But his shirt's untucked and his tie is loose, and he's wearing sunglasses.]


Ah. Hey guys. I'm, ah, Mr. Hatch. I mean Quinn. Forget that "Mister" stuff. Sooooo. Whatcha know about calculus then? Ya know what? Screw calculus, for today at least. Not like I figured out this lesson plan yet... Obviously I'm new here, but from what I'm told, you guys come from all over the universe. Universes? Whatever. So, where ya'll from? What's it like there? What do you do there? It's gotta be more interestin' than this place!

[He'll go around the classes and expect answers out of everyone!

Also throughout the day, Quinn will be introducing himself to his fellow teachers. Can he say hi to you?]
