152 Howls: What's next?

[coyote_walking]

This has been a very strange month. The dreams, the murders on the boats and now all the doubles.

Even more strangely, I haven't been cursed this month, which makes me worry about what might be coming. Of course, it means I've had time to finish the VW Bug I was working on if anyone is interested in it - or has a suggestion on what I should attempt next.

Oh, I'm being grateful for my luck so far, trust me!

How are you doing, Penny?

[anunluckypenny]

I'm good! Recovering from being around a way prettier and smarter me for the weekend, trying to manage the Centers...

Speaking of, I wanted to ask you something about the Youth Center, since it's yours, too?

[coyote_walking]

Oh, come on, I can't imagine someone much prettier and smarter than you already are.

Sure, well, technically, I guess it's mine, too, but you really do all the hard stuff. What did you want to ask?

[anunluckypenny]

Mercy... that's sweet, but there're a lot of people out there who are both. Especially on the smart front.

[Which is actually true and not just insecurity or modesty talking.]

Still! I was just wondering if you minded if I hired on a few extra people? Maybe someone to spend more time at the Youth Center than I can? I just lost a bunch of people and need the help.

[coyote_walking]

Just don't sell yourself short, okay?

And sure, hire whoever you want. The magic shop's doing really well, so I can chip in more towards that.

[anunluckypenny]

Since you asked... okay.

Great! You don't need to do anything that'll threaten the magic shop, though; we're doing pretty well. You'd be surprised by the donations we get.

[coyote_walking]

Don't worry, as I said, the shop's doing really well too. Just let me know what you need and I can give you the money.

And I've done a lot of extra baking, so I'll be sending that over as well.

[anunluckypenny]

You're the best, Mercy. I'll get back to you after I've gone over a few things.

Have I mentioned that you're the best?

[coyote_walking]

Hardly the best. I leave you to do all the hard work, don't I?

[anunluckypenny]

Hey, it's my job. You have your mechanics and stuff to take care of.

[coyote_walking]

Yeah, well, I still feel guilty about dumping it all on you.

[anunluckypenny]

Don't, okay? I love it.

[coyote_walking]

Well, then, if you're happy, I'm happy!
