[Mercy looks like hell. Her face is a riot of blacks and reds in the bruise covering one half of her face. There's a cast on her left arm, a wrist brace on her right. She hasn't been to work in a few days, and all her phone calls have gone unanswered.

So, she has to do what she hates to do: Ask for help publicly.

And, her body language flat out says she doesn't want to do this.]

I need a bit of help moving tomorrow.

[Because she's not staying in the same house where she got the shit beat out of her. It took her a month to go back into her garage after she'd been assaulted there, back home.]

I also will have a spare room available for rent. I have two requirements in a room mate: Women only and they have to be comfortable with two cats and two dogs around the house.

[A pause.]

Also, I'd prefer no magic users, but that point is negotiable.

[She clicks off the feed, barely keeping the grimace of pain from her face.]

Afternoon is fine. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Anna was your roommate, right?

[vw_coyote]

[Sigh.]

She was, yes.

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm glad you are on your feet.

I'm not one to roll over, simply because a bigger dog takes exception to my existence.

[magnetic_magpie]

Nor am I.

I'll probably be opening the garage around the first of September. I'm pretty sure John will be joining me. It depends on how much business I can drum up.

[magnetic_magpie]

His boy Dean would probably join you too, if you get the business.

I haven't had the pleasure, but right now, I'm worried about being able to pay one, let alone two. I have a lot of competition here on the island.

Just a message I said I would pass on - no pressure.

Besides, given my powers, you'll be able to offer services like Darkness proofing at a far less cost than others.

[vw_coyote]

And you have your own work to do. I didn't expect you to be hanging around the garage a lot?

[She fully expected you just to ask for a share of the profits and then wander away. It's what she's used to.]

Once my project's finished, I won't be able to as much. But I can be around for special projects, if you need it.
