18 Howls: Accidental Video Post
Aug. 30th, 2009 04:39 pmViewers can see a pair of legs sticking out from under a partially constructed VW Bug. Occasionally, as Mercy struggles with a particularly recalcitrant part, someone might see her shirt ride up enough to expose the coyote tattoo low on her abdomen.
After a while there's a loud sound of something breaking off, the sound of a heavy wrench hitting flesh, and a flurry of mechanic's power words as Mercy pulls herself out from under the car, shaking her rapidly bruising hand.
Damn!
She moves out of frame for a moment, then returns to sit by the car, holding a bottle of ice cold water against her hand.
Guess that's a sign I need to take a break.
Her eyes drift up to the network device and she laughs as she reaches for it.
Oh geez. Of course it would have to be on. Nice, City.
And the video clicks off.

Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 09:44 pm (UTC)But I've had worse.
Thanks. I'm still missing a ton of parts, but I have enough to work with for the moment.

Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 09:48 pm (UTC)Finding parts here must be pretty hard. I know a few people get them from the underground.

Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 09:50 pm (UTC)Kyle arranged for these. I'll have to figure out how to get more.
no subject
Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 10:03 pm (UTC)Ask him again? Or I'm sure Thomas could figure out a way.
no subject
Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 10:06 pm (UTC)I suppose I could ask him, but he just got me Medea and I don't want to give him anything else he can kind of hold over me. You know, 'I'll do this for you if you stop seeing Thomas' or whatever.
Thomas... You think?
no subject
Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 10:33 pm (UTC)He'd seriously do that? I'm sorry.
I'd guess he probably could if he could find them. I doubt the Underground would be dangerous for him, it isn't that bad for me. Or I know a guy, Remy, who might know where to get things.
no subject
Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 10:36 pm (UTC)I don't know. But he said some things in a post that made me wonder. And just in general he does too much for me. I like to pull my own weight.
Remy, yeah, actually, I think he might have been the one Kyle hired to get this stuff.

Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 10:40 pm (UTC)That must be a bit awkward. I hope that wasn't a reason he did that.
You could try asking Remy yourself sometime. Or if you can find someone that knows where to find them in the Underground I could go. I spend sometime down there.

Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 10:43 pm (UTC)I don't know. He's a good guy and I love him dearly. I just don't get why he's so wigged out about Thomas.
Maybe I will. Gotta save up a bit more money first anyway.
no subject
Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 11:23 pm (UTC)He has a reason to be cautious based just on what Thomas is, but not to refuse to acknowledge any other perspective but his own. But you can be cautious and still give someone a fair chance.
Being able to pay is a good thing.

Date: Sunday, August 30th, 2009 11:26 pm (UTC)Yes, I understand the caution. I'm cautious too. In face, Thomas and I did a little experiment and it turns out that in coyote form I'm one heck of a lot faster then he is, so if I get spooked... I change and bolt and he can't catch me. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure any of his mind powers won't work on coyotes. And not that I've noticed any of them anyway.
Yeah, I'm pretty independent. I like to pay my own way.

Date: Monday, August 31st, 2009 12:22 am (UTC)I've never really gotten why so many females think it's weird for a female to be a mechanic. I only had one close female friend back home. Here I think I've seriously pissed off at least one female.

Date: Monday, August 31st, 2009 12:25 am (UTC)Maybe because they're mostly men and it's a pretty dirty job? Can't have nice nails and smooth skin when you're a mechanic.
