I am looking for work.
I used to sell wares. I can also clean and organize and lift heavy things. [ she should probably clarify she has no superhuman strength but she wants a job so. ]
It needs to pay.


LOCKED to Jesse
I made cookies. Do you want to try them?

[Excellent]

Sure can, just need the parts. You need something?

[wolfchild]

[ let's start with the least violent first. ]

armor. what sort can you make?

text;

[nobrainer]

Leather or metal, depending on what I can scrounge up 
for materials. Maybe something fancier if I can find
the basic shell to work from. Any preference?

[wolfchild]

i have no coin to pay you

text;

[nobrainer]

Maybe we can trade a favor for it?

text;

[wolfchild]

what would you want

Re: text;

[nobrainer]

I don't know yet, maybe just keep me in mind. I could 
probably use some help if/when I set my shop up?

text;

[wolfchild]

all right
you will let me know?

[ she expects him to forget. ]

text;

[nobrainer]

I will. But first we need to get you some armor, 
right? Will any kind do?

[He will not forget. Unless he incurs even more head trauma, because he is a head trauma magnet. Then he might forget.]

[wolfchild]

any you can get
do you know of any that will hold up against guns

text;

[nobrainer]

Some better than others, yes. If that's what you're
worried about I'll see what I can do.

We'll need to meet first, I need to get some idea 
of your size.

[wolfchild]

In front of the Hold? Say an hour?

[ somewhere super public during daytime in other words. if there's a giant grey wolf skulking around, her brother is a tad overprotective and a lot untrusting. ]

text;

[nobrainer]

That's fine.

I'm Matthias, by the way.

[wolfchild]

Cat. How will I know you?

[nobrainer]

I'll have a blue halo over my head, 
that should make me stick out.

See you in an hour, Cat.

[action spam ok?]

action forever!

[wolfchild]

[ in a pink raincoat, the girl is prompt and searching for something blue. she had squinted at the word halo wondering if he meant what she thought he did and finally just shrugged. surely blue would stand out.

sitting on the steps, she chews her lip as she waits, keeping an eye out on everyone. even if they're not who she looks for, she still likes to observe and see what she can learn. one never knows when it may come in handy. ]

action forever!

[nobrainer]

[When Matt arrives he's coming from the city, not the Hold, and sure enough there's a little blue halo floating about six inches above his head. He's also wearing combat armor (minus the helmet, of course) and carrying both a tactical military backpack on his back and a duffel bag in hand. There's also a sniper rifle slung over one shoulder.]

[He doesn't have the slightest idea who he's looking for, however, only that their name is Cat. People come and go from the Hold, and there's a girl in a pink raincoat, but... she can't be the one asking for armor, can she?]

[wolfchild]

[ she's starting to regret coming without nymeria. the girl takes a deep breath and affixes cat's face and as cat approaches him. ]

You Mat-thias? [ she stumbles a little over the pronunciation. ]

[nobrainer]

[...okay maybe she can be. Despite the multitude of things that are odd about his appearance (there's also a thin red scar running horizontally across his entire forehead did I mention that?), he isn't looking particularly menacing at the moment. Mostly just dubious.]

Ah...just "Matt" is fine. You're Cat?

[wolfchild]

Yes.

[ pro: she's small so not much material needed. con: growing child will outgrow it in no time. ]

[nobrainer]

[He's seriously about to ask what in the world a little girl needs armor for, because even grown men have mother hen streaks once in a while, when he realizes what a stupid question it is. They've been brought here to fight a war, haven't they? Better to ask why the Initiative saw fit to bring a girl to the fight than to ask why she feels the need to protect herself.]

Okay. Give me a second.

[He sets the duffel bag down, crouches down beside it, and proceeds to root through the contents of the bag. There's a LOT of crap in this bag. Bottles, syringes, rolls of duct tape... finally he pulls out a length of string he managed to scrounge up before coming to find Cat. It'll have to do for a measuring tape for now.]

Mind if I get a couple of quick measurements?

[wolfchild]

[ she gives him a look. ]

That's you asked me out here for, isn't it?

[nobrainer]

[He gives her a confused look.]

Well... yes. I said I needed to get an idea of your size, didn't I? Do you want it to fit?

[wolfchild]

[ she rolls her eyes. ]

Yes. Will you hurry?

[nobrainer]

Uh, sure.

[Look at this guy, being bossed around by a little girl. This is sad, Matt, just sad.]

[He holds the string up to measure her shoulders, then her arms stretched out fully at her sides. When it comes time to measure around her chest, however, he'll hand the string off to her and let her do that part herself. Because reasons.]
