[[Aaron is at his job at the bowling alley. The job is pretty boring. Put balls away, buffing balls, pull up the bumpers for your kids (or you if you are that bad), clean up, re-rack pins, and much of the same. Still, Aaron will sneak off now and then and try to fix a lane problem or ball return before the drone mechanic gets to it. Hopefully he doesn't get caught!

So many things could happen at a bowling alley.


A) You need help finding shoes, a ball you can use or some other set up for the lanes and Aaron is attendant on call.

B) Need to order a beer or some fries? Aaron is taking his shift behind the counter.

C) Maybe the lane is screwy, maybe Aaron will help you out instead of making you wait for the drone.

D) He's in the back alley throwing out trash. What are you doing in the back alley anyways!?

E) Harass him while he is on the job, say hi or just blame him for something.

F) Catch him on his way home in uniform, exhausted and with a few scrapes from his extra work.

Ah! Wait! Show me how you did that!

[Most drones don't have Welsh accents. Nor wave at you so enthusiastically.]

[[No, they don't. He blinks.]]

"Oh. OH! Sorry! Um... yeah. I can show you.

I'm Aaron by the way."

[[Trying to hide the fact he thought you were a drone.]]

"Are you new around here?"

[He laughs at that.] New? Oh goodness no! I've been in town for... a bit. Longer than I care to have been. Granted, this is my first week at this job! Pleasure to meet you, Aaron, I'm Cynric.

"Nice to meet you Cynric. I'm still kind of new to town. Also my first week at this job but some of it is more my speed.

Word of advice, jamming random things into machines tend to make the problem worse.

Now let's open up a ball return on a lane that doesn't have people playing."

[[He seemed in a far better mood now that he realizes he has a non drone coworker.]]

Bowling was quite different in my time! I wasn't sure how these machines worked. thought it might have gotten jammed up.

Oh, sounds like a good idea. [He'll trot after you to then open lane.]

[[It was a strange way to do it, even for Aaron, but the mechanisms weren't unfamiliar. Showing his coworker how it works.]]

"I don't know how easy these are to break but I bet their a pain to fix."

Date: 2010-12-08 01:52 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
Possibly. But fixing them is the fun part!

[He raptly watches you.]

Seems like you've got quite the knack for this sort of thing, eh?

"I agree but I don't think the drones do."

[[Aaron smiles a bit at that though.]]

"I was learning on cars, it's very different but it gives you an idea of where to start on other things. If you can take it apart, you can probably learn how to put it back together."

Date: 2010-12-08 02:29 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
Oh, cars! Goodness, I love the cars. Hope one day I'll get to learn how to drive one!

Oh, I have to agree. I love trying to figure out how things work. [Too bad he can never figure out how to put them back together.]

From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
"Hey, I could teach you sometime. They aren't that hard after a bit."

[[Aaron didn't know what he would be getting himself into.]]

"Then we'll get along pretty well I think."

From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
Really?! That would be wonderful! [Though part of you wonders if he'll be able to see over the steering wheel.]

It sounds like it. This job just gets better and better!

"I'm glad you enjoy it. It's kinda boring for me. No offense or anything."

From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
Are you joking? This place is great! There's so many... so many things in here.

[He turns on the electric hand dryer as an example. AMAZING.]

As much as I'd rather go back home, I do enjoy everything I've seen about the future so far.

Date: 2010-12-09 04:37 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
"Wait, this is your future too?

How far back are you from?""

From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
Yes! I came here from 1901.

Date: 2010-12-10 11:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
"1901? Wow. Not the oldest I've heard of so far but that's got to be strange for you."

Date: 2010-12-11 12:16 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
It is, but in a good way. It's really exciting! All this futuristic stuff is amazing. I look forward to having it at home.

"That's the spirit. Though, from what I can tell, old people don't like new stuff."

Date: 2010-12-11 12:41 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
Really? Because I am very old, and I love it!

Date: 2010-12-11 12:45 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
"You're not that old. Or wait, how long did people live in 1901?"

[[Derp, derp, derp.]]

Date: 2010-12-11 12:49 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
Oh, but I am! I just don't look the part.

Ah, I don't know? Do people live longer now?

From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
"I just heard that better medicine upped the life span. People live to be almost 100 back home."

From: [identity profile] dodo-master.livejournal.com
That's very impressive! But I'm much older than that even. That's the fault of magic, though.
