Mercy Thompson has posed:
It's a warm morning in Central Park and Mercy, in jogging clothes, is....unsurprisingly out for a jog. She's got a water bottle and snacks, and a crowd around her asking questions. "Well" she sayys, before leaping into a spiel on the history of New York city.

"Was it realy sold for fifty dollars?" one of the crowd, a teenager asks as Mercy's trying to jog here....trying, in vain, with n entourage of people shouting questions. Mercy picks up the pace and carries on jogging more. She's determined to get away, history degree be damned, she just wants a peaceful jog!

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy has a talk to give later today. But he hasn't changed into his clothes for that talk,b ut rather is in the park more casually, searching for something to eat. Hearing a talk, he carries three hot dogs as he watches Mercy. "Why the attention?" he just flat out asks.

Mercy Thompson has posed:
Mercy raises her palms. "No clue" she sighs, slowing her jog. "Just because I know about history doesn't make me a walking information booth does it?" she asks looking back to the crowd. "They ever heard of the internet?" Mercy muses with a laugh. "I mean, it's rude to just go up to a strangr and ombard them with questions"

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy has little trouble keeping up with her jogging, though it makes eating a little more difficult to be moving that much. "But it's not like you're.. do you look like a tour guide to them?"

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"Do i look like one to you? Jogging pants, sneakers, my hair's all mussed up" Mercy points out, "I'm no tour guide. They want that. Get a tour book. I" she adds between trides. "Am out for a jog. You know, answer one question, a million others show up"

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy snickers. "Very odd, very odd." Then she lets that last part slip. "Oh I see, you got... carried away, and then everyone pounced. Poor thing."

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"Oh no, no, I thought I'd help somebody. Turns out that was a mistake" Mercy adds jogging around a tree, "So what're you doing here?" she asks not taking her eyes off the path yet. She'd rather not faceplant in mid jog. It'd mess up her day all things considered.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy finishes one dog, and uses the now-free hand to point around. "It's New York City. Got to watch out for yourself. The tourists will eat you alive. I have a talk this afternoon, so I came in a little early to make sure I wouldn't get caught on a delayed train."

Mercy Thompson has posed:
"You'd think I'd know having lived here but....tourists are scary" Mercy says with a worried look to the group, like they're zombies that feast on knowledge. "I'm out early before starting work. Delayed trains are a fact of life here.it's wonder anyone gets anywhere on time at all some days" she points out with a smile.

Beast has posed:
Henry McCoy laughs. "Well, Mercy, now that I've gotten some food, I'd best go get back to my room for day, and change for the talk. Mind the tourists."
