Mercy Thompson has posed:
Today, Mercy Thompson, mechanic and coyote walker is tinkering with the engine from a Beetle on a workbench. She's got it down to parts and is rebuilding it. Hey, it'll go into a project Bug and get sold. She's not got any cars in her shop currently. The merchant navy candidates, the Opel GT and her Rabbit both drained of all their fluids and both outside.

Mercy's had quite enough of sailing her cars home...

Ivory has posed:
    And another of the cars she made could soon be heard outside, the engne of a VW Bus. An engine that doesn't get to run a lot usually, as it takes residence in the garage of some appartment building. At the steering wheel is Ivory, but as she parks the car, they get out to the workshop, waving. "Hey!"

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
Driving down the stret, Duncan slows as he nears the garage. He's not driving a VW really. Instead he sits behind the wheel of a white, convertible Mustang late model. He parks at the edge of the street and gets out of the car. Since it seems the owner already has a customer he waits for the time being.

Ivory has posed:
    "My car needs a look under the hood. As in, the sound it makes is odd and you better look at it so nothing goes wrong. And possibly an oil change. Not that I drive it a lot, but it needs to run." Ivory explains as they point to the van outside. "Up for that?"

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"You broke that bus?" Mercy asks, "Alright I can take a look, and there's a Mustang" she says looking over. Not German, but...it's a car, and she can look over it. There's the faint oil trails from her Opel GT and Rabbit, both of which are thankfully not flooding her shop. Instead she looks to Ivory. "What's wrong with the engine, you let it sit for to long?" she asks, then waves over to the Mustang. "Be right with you" she calls over.

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     A polite nod is returned to Mercy when she indicates his presence. He waits patiently and checks his phone. Not the latest and greatest, but he does at least have a smart phone. Apparently he isn't too worried about the next big think. He frowns at something he reads and sweeps his finger across the screen twice.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy nods, "Bring the bus on in" she says. Which is as good as 'I can take a look', and to the Mustang and Duncan, Mercy looks over. "You need anything?" she calls. "I can fit you in my garaage and check your muscle car over"

Slow day, Mercy. Slow day.

Ivory has posed:
Ivory shrugs as they enter the workshop fully. "It's just sounding odd... no idea what's off with it. I mean..." That's when Mercy takes that look at them "Eh, I don't normally drive a lor. I live in New York, the public transport is amazing. I only need it when I leave town. Which is not that often." they anser with a shrug, looking over to Duncan and giving hin a nod.

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     Duncan puts the phone into his pocket for a moment and looks back to Mercy. He stands up and moves a little closer to talk easier,"Not for me." he replies,"I passed a young couple a mile back that has a Jetta smoking. I was coming this way and know nothing about who the tow services are in the area. I think they are newer than I am." He shrugs,"Regardless I told them I'd stop on my way past here to see if you knew a tow service that could bring them here."

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy looks over Duncan and nods. "Sure, I can" she offers, looking from the Mustang to her shop. Curse these overalls having no pockets!

Ivory has posed:
    "And my car? You'll look into it?" Ivory requests, eying Mercy carefully. "But if you want to take care of those stranded ones first, I can leave the keys..."

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     Mission more or less accomplished, Duncan produces a business card and on the back he scrawls the names of the couple, the color and make of the car, and the cross street adress where they are sitting waiting for help. He offers the card towards Mercy and nods politely,"Thank you." If she turns the card over she will see if has the logo of Noel and MacLeod Antique in Vancouver. Propreitor Duncan MacLeod and his numbers is also on the card. He nods to Ivory as well since he gets it that she needs taken care of too.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"I can sort the bus out and call a tow truck" Mercy offers diplomatically. As in. First come, first served. She does flip the card over and notes the number. Hey, if anything, shee's hunting for a spot to put that card. It stays in her hand for now as she's looking to Ivory then nods. As if saying bring the bus in.

Ivory has posed:
Ivory nods as she moves to get back into her car, to drive it to the garage door, the engine hammering from the oil not haven taken well to the time it spent sitting. "So, here it is... where to park?"

Duncan MacLeod has posed:
     Good deed of the day done, Duncan turns and starts towards the Mustang again,"Have a good day." Duncan offers to the pair and goes around to open the door on the Mustang and get inside. It starts up easy and he pauses only to check on a message from his phone.
