Mercy Thompson has posed:
The 25th has come and gone in a blur of gifts, and trees. Mercy spent the week in Montana with her old pack, and flew back early in the morning. Or, hours ago. It's still dark outside, though Mercy has the lights on, and door to her home area locked. The bay doors are though, open. Which is, well, a good thing given she runs a garage. Shaking her head, Mercy slides to her feeet and shuffles to the kitchen. Snagging her phone on the way through, she texts Joseph she's home from Montana. Mercy is looking through the fridge debating what to cook, she brought home food from her pack, and that runs the gamut from meats to cake, and Mercy's looking over the box with amusement.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller will text back, he will be over in just a few. He actually walks, as he is carrying a large wrapped rectangular package and a few on top of it. He does not live to far away at least. He will call out "Hey hon, I'm here." He says after setting the gifts down.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy's out of her living area and cleaning the garage with a fervor. Going home to her pack's always cheered her up. She even told them about Jo. Admittedly, now half a pack of werewolves, or well....all of them, gave Mercy the interrogation routine, then decided they liked Jo well enough to not beat a path to New York and scare him off. Werewolves, territorial things. Mercy's as much a thing of theirs as their actual things. Oh, the josy of being a coyote in a pack of wolves. Shaking her head, Mercy sets the rag down and opens the door to the office. Ooh. Gifts. She was so busy cleaning, she didn't notice them before. Now she does. What, did he get her a shipping crate?

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller smiles and opens his arms to her "Hey babe." He grins at her, and says "Got you a few things for ya, missed you." He tells her. the big man has missed her, and may have went and busted up a few drug dealers to help pay for her presents.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy wraps her arms around Jo, stepping up on her toes and stepping off the ground. "You did what?" she asks and looks amused. "I was in Montana with my pack. Good news. They like you. Bad news. They wanna interrogate you" Mercy says with a laugh. "So you got an invite to Montana. Four feet of snow, and wolves, and I got to cook Christmas dinner. I didn't even poison anyone" Mercy adds with a wink as she looks up to kiss Joseph. "You didn't hurt t those dealers too bad, right babe?" she asks, half teasing...haalf concerned.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller smiles and kisses her holding her off the ground, and says "Well, I think I will be ok, and we can ride up sometime. I got you a few things, and thought you might like them." He rubs her back as he lets her back to her feet.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"A few things? I got you not being torn apart by a wolf pack Oh and I got you a few things too" Mercy nods bringing gifts out to him. All wrapped, with postmarks from places like Missoula, Spokane, Boise, and so forth. Apparently she went all over with her pack. She grins, setting cards down as ercy laughs. "I told them to get you a few gifts. There's more" Mercy says, "Each wolf got you a gift. From silly, to....useful and smart" she adds, sitting on the floor with a grin, after spreading out a towel so she's not sitting on oil, dust, and so forth.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller will move the bog present close to Mercy to let her open it, as he moves to sit beside her "Well may have to see how resistant I am to claws and biting before we go just to be on the safe side." This is the big one." He teases https://www.obsessedgarage.com/collections/sonic-tools-s15-toolboxes/products/sonic-tools-empty-s15-toolbox-14-drawers-black

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy opens the big package and peers. "Oh, sweet!" she says with a grin and carefully opens the box. Taking the first tool out, she treats it with reverence. renches are sacred. Mercy knows this. She looks through the box again, and slides Jo's gifts to him. Atop the pile is a small box, the sort of box that'd have a camera or something in it. It's postmarked from Montana. Mercy knows what it is....cufflinks and a pendant. She picked it out while on vacation with her pack.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller will take his time to open it, not trying to tear the paper, she may have notices he does take his time with fragile or easily messed up things. He opens it, and smiles, as he looks at it. He puts the pendant on and asks "Marking your territory?" He jokes with her a bit and slides another box to her. This one about half the size of the other one, and inside are suede buffalo skin seat covers for the Vanagon

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy shakes her head. "I didn't mark my territory in that way" she says. "I haven't lifted my leg, yet. You really want me to do that?" she jokes and opens the box, studyin the seat covers. "Hey, those will work" she ads. There's more gifts for Jo. A jacket, with a pattern on the back. Lots of shapes and it's got an odd, abstract design. Undr that, there's more things too.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller smirks a bit and says "I think I prefer just having you rub against me a lot to get your sent on me." He grins at her, and says "Thought you might like those and can still be customized more, has extra leather in the bottom of it. He looks at the coat, and nots a bit smiling at it. "This is cool"

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller next present for Mercy is a bit smaller, as he slides it to her.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy snickers, "That's on four paws" she says with a nod and looks. pleased. "See, it's good. Picked it out in Missoula, bought it for you there" she shrugs and grins, looking over to the other presents. She unwraps the next one and notes what's in the box of tools. They got their places.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller smiles and will go through opening his presents, he does cuddle on Mercy and kisses her with each present "I need to go traveling with you and explore." He rubs her back

Mercy Thompson has posed:
The other presents vary in size, from a stuffed toy wolf, to one that just is an open invite to Montana. Oh, and a box of chocolate, and $500, too. Mercy's set the sculpture aside and digs through the gifts. She laughs, "Well we can go to Montana for Easter, right? Or New Year's, or...whenever's fine" she admits, her phone buzzing. "Hey, yeah I got your gift, no I'm home.....oh no, no, I'm good. I'm good though. Don't you dare bring that snow here. Okay, when?" Mercy asks with a look of pleased shock. "Alright, just rent something. West Harlem" Mercy adds and hangs up.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller 's brow raises a bit and says "A friend coming to visit?" He will ask, as he moves to pull her over to his lap for cuddles

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"Yes" Mercy adds and scoots over for cuddles. They are good. She smiles. "Yeah one of my pack's showing up" she says opening up a box of chocolates, picking one out with a grin. She nods and looks pleased at her choice with a smile. "I'm amazed none of your folks have dropped by yet though, what's up with that?" she asks.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller looks over, and says "I aint really for any folks any more hon." He rubs her back and says "Few friends from back home, but all my family are passed." He does not seem to bothered talking about it, a little sad perhaps, but seeming to be having made peace with it.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy nods, "Ah my folks are out in Montana, like I said" she offers. "They want to meet you though. It'll be interesting"

Yeah that's one word for it. Introduce Joseph to werewolves, why not. What could go wrong? Mercy's optimistic, and sassy, and she knows how to handle her wolves, too.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller smiles and says "There any place we can rent near them, so we have a place to crash while we are there?" He asks, not seeming bothered by the meeting.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"They'll let us use an empty house" mercy offers with a nod. "Trust me. I can get them to let us use one of their empty houses"

She's a point. So, she's able to swing it with wolves to let them both stay in an empty house.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller 's brow raises a bit and says "They rent houses out and have a few empty ones?"

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"No, no. More that they have houses that sit empty" Mercy adds with a smile. "See. Empty houses are just sitting unused. So, we can get a house" Mercy adds.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller hmmms and nods a bit to this and says "Will we need to take a generator or anything like that?" He askls her.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"Oh no no, it's powered. Small town. That's where I was. It's near the Cabinet Wilderness" Mercy offers between bites of chocolate. She looks amused, "Yeah the pack's got houses, it's a small town. So" she says with a grin. "I'm looking forward to this"

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller nods, a bit and says "Have you told them I am a mutant, and super strong?" He does not seem upset more curious about it.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy shrugs, "Werewolves are super strong, too.Just...not a mutant. Yeah I told them" Mercy says with a nod. "Oh, they know"

True, they do. Mercy made sure of it.

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller nods, and says "I think I might be stronger, but unless they are wanting to test, I aint planning on worrying about it." He will grins at her, and says "So when are you wanting to go hon?"

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy shrugs, "Whenever. I don't mind" she offers with a nod. "Just got to tell the wolves I'm coming there with you is all" she adds with a grin. "They're very territorial about their land. Can't just stroll in, you know?"

Overlord has posed:
Joseph Miller nods his head a bit to this and rubs her shoulders "Well i figure as long as I am with you, I will be ok.
