124 Howls: Loss and Hugs

[coyote_walking]

Derek's gone too now. This is getting... really hard to cope with.

I've got a bunch of errands to run and later I think I might go for a run. A real one.



[Feel free to run into and hug Mercy anywhere throughout the City or at the magic shop. Or, if you'd like to run into a coyote in the woods later, just put that in your tag.]

[Penny is out and about and generally running around like a very busy chicken with its head cut off (as usual). She catches sight of Mercy--she has only seen her on the network--and goes to introduce herself in person.

Before she can get an introduction in, she finds herself giving Mercy a hug.]

[Mercy hugged her back, a little surprised, but she was cursed herself, too.]

Hi. Penny, right?

Yep, I'm Penny--and that wasn't exactly how I meant to say hello. Mercy?

Re: action;

[coyote_walking]

Yes, that's me. Nice to actually meet you in person.

[anunluckypenny]

The same to you. Oh--and I promise I'm not usually quite so touchy-feely. Curse. You know how it is.

Re: action;

[coyote_walking]

Trust me, I understand. I'm not usually like this either.

[anunluckypenny]

Good! Great! Then this totally isn't awkward.

[Actually, it kind of is.]

How're you doing?

Re: action;

[coyote_walking]

Well, it kind of is, actually. But since we both understand curses we can forgive each other and laugh about it later, right?

action;

[anunluckypenny]

Right.

[Crap, and now there's more hugging.]

Maybe I should go? Talk to you later?

Re: action;

Probably a good idea before we hug ourselves silly!
