"I mean I said that but thinking about it, it might be nice if I had someone to complain to who had all the problems I have. And uh, maybe you could figure out some outfits that would actually look good on me. You're a fashionable, uh, lady." he blinks as the dragon changes again.

"Sorry Sam, I guess all the shifting can be a little confusing? Sylvess doesn't like staying out much. There's a lot of places that aren't dragon-sized, and people tend to gawk at him because dragons." People tend to gawk at Lucy because she wears ridiculous outfits. There's no way that dress of hers is comfortable! "I dunno if I'm all that fashionable, Sam. I just found something that worked and rolled with it. But I'm sure we can play dress-up later and figure out something that works for you. A lot of it really is just the confidence thing though. It's much easier to look good to others if you like how you look. We can work on it later, okay? Now c'mon!" She grabs for his hand to try and drag him off towards the base. Enough talking! It's time for action! And then talking to other people!Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Cassidy laughs, nudging Charity right back. "Do I know any good bars, she says, like I'm a runner not worth my bullets. Most of the ones over in inside are crap, but there's a couple that are worth your time. There's Trog's, which has good stuff but..." She wobbles her hand a little.

Kirk just happens to be nearby, so why not answer the door. He does just that, pulling the door open to look at the two. "You've reached Merc." Provided they look like they got to the right place, he'll make way for them to get out of the cold.

Fade doesn't change in expression as allways.
"I see." He replies "I will improve those skills then. But I guess my other case might rise up to be a problem. You may remember the eclips a year or more ago? Some of my shadows went wild in that time and i was able to pin down their locations. I recently met a leader of Vigil and came to tell him about it.

[MERC Lobby]
As it turns out, in the lobby behind the door is the diminutive leader of MERC himself. When he saw Sam approach with someone he didn't recognize, he thought it might be a client or prospective new employee. There's a female wolf with him, accompanied by two very young cubs.

Sam smiles at the cubs and has to restrain himself from giggling. He has been growled at by wolf mothers before and knows not to approach them.

Re: MERC XVIII: Affordable Misdeeds and Friendly Canines

First impressions can count for a lot. It's probably a good idea to convince Dipsnig that she's a capable, competent-
Nope, too late, Lucy has been distracted by the wolves. She barely notices what Dipsnig and Sam are saying as she's pulled inexorably towards the wolves, crouching down slightly as she approaches the presumably-mother-wolf. "Sam! You didn't tell me there were tame wolves here!" She offers a hand towards the wolf to sniff, "Hello there. Can I say hi to your little cubs?"
...
Oh right! She's meant to be getting a license or something! "O-oh, yes, hello there Mister Razortooth, sir! Are these your wolves?"Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Re: MERC XVIII: Affordable Misdeeds and Friendly Canines
[Dipsnig's Office]
Dipsnig looks at Fade, raising his eyebrow as one of his ears perks up.
"Not particularly, no. Why did you go to Vigil with this instead of telling me about it?"
[MERC Lobby]
The young wolves are both curious and wary of the odd-smelling big person, while their mother steps forward, sniffing at Lucy while at the same time staying between her and her cubs protectively.
Dipsnig's expression is meanwhile impassive. He's used to people gushing over his wolves, and it's not like he planned to have those two here. But the squirmy little pups got out of the beast pens.
"Those are mine, yes. This is Kralk, and her two cubs who don't have names yet," he says before getting to business. "A license is easy enough to get. We just need your name and contact information."My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

"Uh, yeah, what Sam said. I guess I'm sort of his roomie now? I dunno, something like that." Hoping Kralk is convinced that she's a nice enough person from her smell, Lucy tries to gently stroke her with one hand and cautiously, perhaps a little optimistically reaches down with her other hand to see if the cubs feel brave enough to come have a sniff.
Of course if Kralk objects to anything, she'll back off.

Kralk is stroked, but unfortunately with her pups so young and away from their pen, she's very protective of them and won't let Lucy come near. Even though the cubs look like they'd want her to.

"Oh, sorry Kralk, I understand. They are quite young, aren't they? I like to think I'd be taking good care of them too if I were in your paws." Lucy smiles at the wolf, apparently determined to keep pretending they're having a conversation for as long as she can.
Oh, but Sam wants a demonstration, right? "Uh, yeah, sure! I can do that."
Lucy takes a few steps back and peers intently at Dipsnig, rubbing her chin thoughtfully as she takes a reeeeal good look at him.
...
It's remarkably quick when it happens as Lucy abruptly shifts in size and shape, shrinking down as he takes on the guise of MERC's leader, clothes and all. Being a bit of a rushed job, there's a few things that are slightly off, the colours perhaps aren't exactly spot-on, the jawline isn't quite right, but it's a remarkably good on-the-spot impersonation of Dipsnig. Take a few paces back, put them side by side and you'd be hard-pressed to tell them apart! "Well?" Again, Dipsnig will be able to pick up on a slight difference in tone, but the voice is pretty close too. "What do you think?"Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Dipsnig's eyes narrow and his ears perk up as Lucy takes his shape. Kralk growls in confusion as a replica of her master shows up, and the pups whimper quietly.

Oop, let's not upset the wolves! the duplicate-Dipsnig swiftly shifts back to Lucy. "Sorry Kralk!"
Hopefully that's enough to calm them down, right? Probably not, but oh well.
"Well, I can only shift into person-y forms, so I'm not one of the fancy ones who could turn into a wolf and confuse poor Kralk and her pups even more. But I'm quite precise with my shifts, especially if I can take a little more time on it than I did there. More sorta quality over forms over quantity of forms, I guess?" Lucy shrugs, hopefully that explanation works for Dipsnig.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Dipsnig knows when someone is doing their best not to give him a straight answer, but he decides to let it slide. This doesn't seem like a secret that he needs to dredge up.
"Fair enough, I suppose. If Sam is finished with the paperwork, we can issue your license."

Corvus gestures for Willa to enter first. His hardy physiology means the cold doesn't bother him as much. He doesn't know what Kirk looks like, so his recognition of the MERC lieutenant isn't going to register unless Willa says something first He'll simply nod at the man as he follows Willa inside.

Electra shrugs.
"I couldn't help getting my fingers a bit wet. I thought my armor's gloves would provide some shielding, but I guess their sensory connection must've passed the effect on. They're numb, but they don't hurt.

"Peculiar. I'm already pulling overtime right now, but I should probably have a look at that once you done your diagnosis. It appears to be carrying a faint magical aura, and it might just get worse if we don't do anything about it."

Lucy peers at the form and nods. Looks good to her!
She's never filled out a form in her life so she has no idea what counts as a "good form" but it definitely looks good. Yup. No way Sam just sold her soul away or anything.
"Aww, I think I spooked the wolves a bit, Dipsnig.
