Preamble! )

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.]

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!
