Room 524: Saturday Morning [11-12-11]

[walkswithcoyote]

Once she'd dealt with the pesky following machine baby thing, Mercy had gone back to the room where she'd woken up. Everything here was so big and confusing. There was definitely a better way to handle this.

Which was why in no time at all she was only a small lump of coyote pup, slithering backwards out of a pile of clothes.

She scratched her ear to get rid of the last tingles from the change, shook herself, and got ready to head off to explore all the exciting places and smells in this place.


[Mostly establishy, but open should the roommate want to notice her or someone be stopping by.]

Billy was still hungover from Thursday night - at least, that's how he felt - so he was still curled up in bed when Mercy came back. He peeked out from under the covers to see her, and was surprised to find himself looking at an adorable pup instead. "Uh, hey there. How are you doing?" he asked cautiously.

[walkswithcoyote]

Billy!

Coyote!Mercy wriggled and yipped happily and made a valiant, if not quite successful, effort to leap up onto his bed.

Hang on. One more try and a scrabble up the last bit and she could lick at his cheek.

[selfhelphero]

Okay, it was kind of hard to feel crappy when you were getting licked by a weetiny animal. "Hey, that tickles!" he said, snickering a little. "No eating me, please."

[walkswithcoyote]

Oh please. It's not like she was a werewolf and might forget herself.

Besides he was too big.

She yipped at him to try and explain this, then licked his cheek again.

[selfhelphero]

"Okay, I guess I'm safe." Billy reached back to give her a little scratch behind the ears. "So, where did you come from?"

[walkswithcoyote]

Big Mercy would probably have some 'splainin' to do on Monday, but Little Coyote!Mercy was just happy to have a friend to play with.

she made a sort of rumbling happy sound in her throat and snuggled into his touch happily, closing her eyes in bliss.

Didn't he already know where she came from?

[selfhelphero]

Obviously, Billy had to keep scratching if she was going to make those noises. After a few moments, he looked at the empty bed, and then back at the pup. "Waaait a sec. Mercy?" he said uncertainly. She was awfully tiny in her current form to be her.

[walkswithcoyote]

He recognized her! Her eyes opened and she wriggled and yipped excitedly.

Yes! She was Mercy. Just, well, in wee tiny form.

[selfhelphero]

"Oh, wow, okay," he said, giving her some extra scritches, which hopefully wouldn't be awkward when she was a person again. "Are you hungry? And, I mean, are you okay?"

[walkswithcoyote]

No more awkward than having to explain the whole, 'hi, yes, I turn into a coyote' thing.

She rolled over, legs up, closed her eyes, and burped, then hopped back up and wagged her tail at him, hoping he'd understand that she was quite full and content.

[selfhelphero]

Billy laughed, giving her tail a playful tug. "Okay, I guess that answers that. I should have known you could take care of yourself. Is there anything you do need?"

[walkswithcoyote]

She closed her eyes and shoved her head under his hand again, rumbling happily.

[selfhelphero]

"Ah. Well, you're in luck, because I think I can help with that," he said, petting her gently and scratching her again. This wasn't quite in the roommate handbook, but it seemed to be okay for now.

[walkswithcoyote]

Mercy sighed happily and just snuggled in for a while. But as wonderful as all this was, she was a curious little thing and she'd come in here and shifted so she could go exploring more easily.

She wriggled out from under his hand and hopped down from the bed, trotting to the door and turning back to look at him. Did he want to come? There were lots of interesting smells and places hat needed checking out.
