JAWS 12: SHARP THREADS

[jaws5sonofjaws]

ACTION:

[Mart is walking door to door or down the streets with a number of business cards which read "MART VINEYARD: (BADASS) HERO FOR HIRE!" which feature a phone number crossed out, a new one drawn in for Mayfield, and a smiling picture of himself. He'll attempt to hand them out to you or any passerbyers and staple them to any posts.

Also, Mart has regained a black tank top with this symbol emblazoned upon it: http://symboldictionary.net/?p=1080]

PHONE:

Hey, so I got back a bunch of cards for when I was Hero-ing for Hire, and I realized: why not do it here? So I'm offering my services as a young, outstanding metahuman to any of you who need them!

You got problems? And I will solve them! Possibly with my teeth.

Then... why do you want my business cards?

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Well it's free, right?

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the cards are free.

Marketing myself and all that.

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Yeah. So it's free.

So gimme.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Okay!

I'll be right over!

[Later you can hear Mart knocking on your door, cards in hand]

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

[And she'll answer the door, wearing a newly-regained bunny girl suit.]

'Bout time. Gimme gimme!

[Aaaaaand she'll just try and take the cards out of your hand now.]

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Whoa hey wow damn.

She'll have nabbed the card he was holding out.]

Wow! Yeah, sure take it. You know who to call now.

Nice costume you got there...

But uh, why do you want my card so much anyhow?

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

I just needed it.

[In fact, she'll be using it to clean under her fingernails right now.]

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

... you seriously just gonna disrespect me like this?

[She seriously is.]

I could be giving that card to someone who could hire me to kick some ass.

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Just because you can kick someone's ass doesn't mean you're any less of a pussy.

[God Mart, why'd you have to go back to being such an unbearable asshole? You were cool during Nukefield when you didn't have your powers to fall back on.]

Also, you may want to take the "hero" bit off. Someone could sue you for false advertising.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Mart sighs. He was letting things go to his head again.]

Okay... I guess I haven't really learned my lesson as much as I should've since the yearbook and stuff.

But I do want to offer my powers to try and help people for a change.

Also... that playboy costume is really distracting...

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

But you're charging for it?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting some extra cash any way you can but getting paid for what a hero does and still calling yourself a hero seems kinda dickish.

What no it isn't. It's totally respectable.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Look, it's just the way things are settled back home. And I'm just a private contractor, the big guns charge huge amounts of cash 'cuz they work for corporations or the government.

And seeing how worthless money here is, I might as well charge for just snacks or food... kinda how I used to when I was a little kid.

And it's definitely... [looks at her in the bunny suit again real quick like] respectable like.

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Eh. That the way you do things, then whatever kid.

Damn right it's respectable like. It's a family heirloom.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Finally, some approval.

And family heirloom huh? So, who'd that belong to then in your family?

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah keep it in your shorts Billy Badass.

My aunt. And her mom before her, so I guess my grandma. Which is weird as hell to think about.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Wow.

Uh, yeah, kinda weird.

But you look great in it!
