Owner Pose
Mercy Thompson It's late in the morning a couple days after Johnny showed up. Mercy's in the kitchen making coffee. And yawning. She was out late the night before and when she got home at about 3 in the am and went straight to bed. "You awake over there," she asks in the direction of the couch. She didn't go in, just in case Johnny wasn't ready for company.
Johnny Blaze Johnny is yawning on the couch, standing up. Oh...turns out he sleeps shirtless for some reason. But his musculature is exposed and when Mercy calls over to him, he smiles. "Your voice might put me back to sleep, angel." he flirts casually in a very barely-awake voice.

"Yeah, I'm awake. Good morning, by the by." Johnny stretches casually, inviting her over. "Come on in if you want." it is her house! he just lives with her.
Mercy Thompson Mercy hands over the coffee she poured for him. "Nice abs." She parks herself on a stool at the breakfast bar. "Glad you slept well." She yawns and sips coffee herself. "Guess who I met last night."
Johnny Blaze "Nice ass." Johnny retorts to her with a bit of a grin, walking up to the breakfast bar as he rubs his head. Spirit was still bothering him, apparently. "Thanks. What time did you come back?" he seemed to notice that she was gone at some point. "Uhhmmm...I don't know, enlighten me."
Mercy Thompson "You're relentless you know," MErcy says. She sounds like she might be amused but she's not awake enough to really show it. "ABout three am," she says. "No guesses? I was heading past Gotham to the auto auction in Trenton. There was a l... car broken down by the side of the road." She sips more coffee. "There's a couple clues."
Johnny Blaze Johnny smiles. "Hey, what can I say?" He gestures to her beauty "Work of art." then he sits down, rubbing his forehead. "What on earth are you doing awake at 3am?" given, Johnny doesn't have a whole lot of room to talk. But he does grin at her. "Car broken down by the side of the road huh? What were some of the clues and were they related to our killer-eyed friend from the other day?
Mercy Thompson She shakes her head. "Nothing to do with creepy on the harley," Mercy says. "One more clue. The car was a lamborghini. I was up at 3am driving home after getting my car back."
Johnny Blaze Johnny just blinks now, as if he was confused, before he ponders it a little deeper. "Hmm...was the guy rich?" Johnny asks, resting on his cheek on his fist as he looked at her, curious as to what she's talking about.
Mercy Thompson Mercy sighs. "Really? You are the most unimaginative.... FIne. Bruce Wayne. He blew out a hose on his Lamborghini. I couldn't fix it, not having any spare lambo hoses in the trunk. So I gave him the rabbit and waited for teh tow truck. He brought the rabbit back about 2am, and I drove home. " She finishes her coffee and goes for more.
Johnny Blaze "Bruce Wayne? Billionaire playboy?" Johnny simply sips his coffee then as he chuckles. "Sorry, I play guessing games before and it tends to not work out in my favor." he gives her a playful wink before he shrugs! "He made you wait until 2am to bring the rabbit back? Well, I heard he was kinda a jerk. How was he in the flesh?"
Mercy Thompson "Bruce Wayne," Mercy confirms, sitting back down with her refilled coffee. "Actually he was nice, and I volunteered." She looks a little guilty actually. "Practically forced him to take the car...and I figured if I was there when he got back with it he'd feel sorrier and pay me better. He handed me five hundred just to get his car back to his... house doesn't fit. Wayne Manor." She yawns. "so 3 am getting home. I missed the auction, but," she shrugs. "It'll be there next month."
Johnny Blaze Johnny ahhhs very softly as he listens. "Well, I mean...I kinda don't doubt that you get insistent when helping people." he grins, moving to the kitchen. "Whatcha feeling like in terms of food?" Of course, then she mentions the auction. "Well, I have a surprise for you, so I wouldn't weep over that too much. Win some you lose some, right?"
Mercy Thompson Mercy gives Johnny a wary look when he mentions surprise. "The last surprise I got from you was nearly burning down the garage.... But breakfast? Pancakes I think. Plain or blueberry?" She gets up and goes around the bar into the kitchen area and starts getting out stuff. "So what's the surprise?"
Johnny Blaze Johnny chuckles. "That's because I tried to make a goddamn omelet and you startled me." He chuckles, before he starts pulling out the pancakes. "Do you have an actual preference or do you trust me enough to choose which pancake you want?" he smiles. "Well, if I told you, that'd be a pretty shitty surprise, don't you think?"
Mercy Thompson A sigh escapes and Mercy starts making up blueberry pancakes. "So when do I get this surprise," she asks. "And should I wear body armor and go armed? Go as a coyote with the werewolf pack for back up?"
Johnny Blaze Johnny laughs. "Why do you always think my 'surprise' always ends up being 'I caught a mythological mosnter for you! notice me!'" of course, he exaggerates because he enjoys messing with Mercy a bit. "It's a calm, very nice, beautiful surprise. Nothing will explode in the making of this video alright?" he chuckles, moving by Mercy to grab some glasses for orange juice, coffee, or milk. Though he will try to press his hands into her sides to try and tickle her.
Mercy Thompson Mercy squeaks when tickled, "Ack! stop!" She squirms and swats at him. "This -will- get you evicted..." She's very ticklish. She turns and threatens him with the batter covered spoon.
Johnny Blaze Johnny just laughs! "Oh really?" and his hands move for her sides and even the side of her neck to see where she was ticklish, being playful with her even as she threatens him with pancake batter. Though he does try and keep distance from her weapon of choice.
Mercy Thompson Mercy squirms a little more, then her patience runs out and the battered spoon flicks across Johnny's face, battering his eyes. An elbow moves, blocking one of his hands. She stops herself before a knee lifts for a strike and a foot stomp. "Stop, already."
Johnny Blaze Johnny laughs as he tries to wipe the batter from his eyes before he takes the elbow and the knee and the foot stomp! Though it doesn't really hurt Johnny thanks to his durability, he gets the message. "Ow, ow, OW! Okay, okay!" he laughs, moving away as he wipes batter from his eyes.
Mercy Thompson Mercy shakes the spoon at him again and goes back to making the pancakes. "Tickling me will get you in trouble," she tells him. "So... when do I get this surprise?'
Johnny Blaze "Apparently...." Johnny laughs before he smiles, reaching for herh and. "Here, close your eyes. You can go back to the pancakes in a second." and if she accepted, he'll lead her to the neihgboring lot, sitting right there all pristine? It's the car she was interested in refurbishing and making it look all pretty again. "Surprise. I managed to shake the seller down to about 1.5 thousand. Good price, I think. Even suggested some parts we could use to make it live again."
Mercy Thompson Mercy's expression is wary, but she closes her eyes and lets him lead her out. She ooohs, seeing the car. "Johnny...." he gets a real hug for his efforts. "Johnny, I dont know what to say. Thank you!" She starts toward the car, then stops..."Breakfast first, then I'll start on it," she nods at the car. She starts back toward the garage apartment, and the kitchen and pancakes. "I'm sorry for the foot stomp," she tells him as she walks back up to cook breakfast. Apparently not for pancake battering him though.
