[Phone call filtered from NPCs/drones:]

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.

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!

[The phone picks up, but there's a few moments of shuffling and the moving of things as Quinn drags the phone to the garage. Sadly no one has told him he can filter his calls.]

Hey guys! It's come to my attention that some folks 'round here like usin' swords. While I ain't the fightin' type, I can tell why ya'd want somethin' like that around, 'specially if ya ain't used to guns or whatever.

So, I've decided that I'm gonna build somethin' like a forge! I figure, the only thing we got in Mayfield in the way of scrap metal is cars, right? So, we've got access to a lot of steel and chrome and such. We can probably make some lightweight, tough swords for ya'll! Like katanas, I guess.

Here's where ya'll come in. While I can build a whole lotta stuff, swords are new to me. I'm lookin' for someone who knows stuff like how to design 'em. Get the weight and size right, stuff I can use for the hilts, things like that! Computers are my specialty really, but I do pretty good buildin' other stuff too. So if you're interested, ya can call me back, but it's probably better if ya just come over to the garage at 339 Brady Lane, cuz that's where I'll be. If ya got any spare metal or whatever, bring that along. I'm not expecting payment, but some company, some supplies or maybe even some snacks or somethin' would be great! Thanks, guys.

[If you stop by, Quinn will be merrily dismantling parts in his garage, his laptop set up and playing music like usual - but at an acceptable volume level this time.]
