29th Fix

[technohippie]

[Action A: Do you live at 339 Brady Lane? Are you passing by on the street somewhere nearby? Then you're in for a surprise.

You see, Balin asked Quinn for a favor of the technological variety. With not much else to occupy his time, he got right to it, but now it's testing time.

Housemates might find themselves stepping on triggers hidden under rugs that suddenly cause a mine to EXPLODE.... with confetti. Quinn's a pacifist as it is, and it's not like he has a crazy vendetta against his friends. Outside, he'll be hiding in the garage with a remote in his hands, waiting for someone to pass by his hidden "mines" to set them off. Victims outside will be treated to attacks of confetti, water, or even glitter. And some giggling from inside the garage, where the lanky technomancer sits with the remote in one hand and a beer in the other. You might just have a few words for him, huh?]

[Jeanne was merely walking by when she got hit by a confetti bomb.

You do realize, this means war.

And by that, making a rush for the front door.]

[technohippie]

[Uh oh. She looks pissed. Good thing he's not in the house but in the garage. Too bad the garage door is wide open. Too bad Quinn is 6'8" and hiding isn't an easy thing to do... but he's going to try and slip behind his couch a bit...]

[burnbabyburn19]

[Jeanne meanwhile will be banging on the front door in a blind fury. Fortunately, she's nowhere near strong enough to break it down herself. But still

scary angry.]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa hasn't been around in a while, so she has no idea how Quinn has been spending his time. She's carrying what looks like a briefcase in one hand and a smallish box under the other arm.

When she gets hit with the water mine, she yelps, and moves to protect the cases rather than herself. ]

[technohippie]

[Oops. Better fess up. He pokes his head out of the garage.]

Gotcha.

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Oh.

Raz has found them, all right.

And now he's doing experiments, that is, he's telekinetically floating several of them into a bunch in the living room, where he will soon detonate the world's most epic party bomb.]

[technohippie]

[One hasn't gone off in awhile... Time to check on them. Except now, Quinn can't find them. What's the deal?]

[party_hard]

[The pink pony walking by got hit by a confetti bomb!

And she thinks it is the most awesome thing EVER. She's doesn't seem to be able to stand up properly, she's laughing so hard.]

[technohippie]

[A pink pony. Well that's unexpected. Kinda. This IS Mayfield. Quinn will get up and come out to the driveway.]

I take it ya approve?

[theboytwin]

[.....he is now covered in glitter. Doesn't takes long to figure out where to look. Have a passive faced man looking at you. Really?]

I don't suppose you have anything to do with this?

[technohippie]

[SPARKLY JOHAN. Is there anything greater in this universe? Quinn can't stop chuckling.]

Nope. I'm innocent.

[technologic]

[April was just walking on by when she finds herself being water bombed.

Cue her giving the garage a flat look as she wrings water out of her shirt.]

[technohippie]

[snickersnicker]

Surprise!

[swineprince]

[Eb is, of course, entirely unsuspecting. He's got a tupperware of brownies with him today as he passes by on the way to school. When he is suddenly glitter bombed, he drops the brownies, lets out a yelp, and accidentally sends a bolt of electricity to the device.]

[technohippie]

[Quinn looks down at the remote in his hand. With his technomancy, the remote has just told him that the mine has been shorted out.

Blinkblink. Did that kid just do what he thinks he did?]

Hey... um.. Gotcha?

[truffulacide]

[now that Once-ler has his guitar back, he's been feeling much more comfortable with spending time at the park; at least now he'll have something to occupy his time with. he's on his way home after one such afternoon jam, instrument slung over his shoulder, when he steps on a mine.

if you've ever wanted to see a grown man covered in glitter flail and shriek, it's your lucky day. there's plenty of both to go around.]

[technohippie]

[Okay, he can't help it. He laughs out loud at first, only to slap his hand over his mouth a moment or two later. This is Mayfield, after all, and he should expect people to be a bit jumpy, so he'll explain... while still laughing.]

Hey man, it's okay! It's harmless!

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart walks toward the house, shrugging off any confetti or water blown his way. He's got something on his mind...]

Yo Quinn!

Where are you?

[technohippie]

[He's in the garage, blinking at Mart who's now covered in confetti and doesn't seem to care.]

...Yo?

[relic_hunter]

[He was going about the town, minding his own business, not bothering anyone... when he was suddenly soaked.]

What...?

[technohippie]

[There's some chuckling from the garage nearby.]

Gotcha. Sorry, man.

[queenoffangaia]

[ Just barely managing to sidestep that water. Maya tilt her head to the side with a smile perched on her lips. ]

I see that you are enjoying yourself.

[technohippie]

[Quinn gives her a little wave from the garage.]

Just a bit. Nice dodge!

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP!

[walking_nuke]

[Just earlier, Balin put in a phone call to Quinn asking whether or not he was free to discuss something in person. Fifteen minutes later, and Balin just got confetti'd as he walked up toward the driveway.]

—Holy shit!

[A moment after the cloud of confetti's already blown all over him, Balin drops backward onto the ground, as if trying to get out of someone's field of fire. Of course, had that been a real Claymore, he would have been so very dead.]

[Check out the look Balin's face, with his glasses and body armor all covered in confetti. It's a Kodak moment!]

/Wayne's World handwavy motion

[technohippie]

[Quinn can't help but laugh a bit.] Ya know, I almost didn't do this, thinkin' it might be a bad idea to do this to a soldier-type. But, hey, guess what. They work!
