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.

[Phone]

Sure, I'll take some cards.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Sweet! First customer.

So, any jobs you got in mind for me?

[guitarslaying.livejournal.com]

Jobs?

Naw. I can solve my own problems.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

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!

[Looking at the card. And back to Mart. And then back to the card, and then back to Mart.

Clearly, she's got her doubts about this.]

[trueguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Action!

Lan Fan is, by now, at least comfortable to speak to Mart without any type of hesitance or awkward pausing thanks to the various misadventures they've had! Even if this talking hasn't been all too recent, the memories certainly are strong.

This... however is a tad silly for Lan Fan. She doesn't actually need this. ]

I already know who you are. I do not need any of this, Mart!

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[C'mon, isn't this a face you can trust?

See; awesome picture.]

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, but this way you can call me whenever there's danger and stuff.

[noluckduck]

[Nnnnot convinced.]

Badass. You're callin' yourself badass.
