(TKTM) You Never Know Who People Are Online

Well, alright then. Front door. Well. No surprise, really. Mandy was a pretty direct kind of girl.

Right, then.

He reached into his pack, and pulled out his lineman's set and clipped it onto a belt loop of his khakis.

Then, he proceeded to the front door.

[Snarlequin]

Uuuuuuugh. Now would be a perfect time to have that Telepathy going.

He rubs his hand down his face and turns to the guy with a pained expression. "Dude, we were looking for some... privacy" He gestures, a little wildly between Mandy and himself. Dude, dude, you know what I'm saying right? "Look if I give you a fifty will you let us... you know."

Mandy had begun to open her mouth in response to the newcomer, before simply shooting a look to Auto. "Let us what?" she inquired sharply, looking suitably irritable. The expression was not unfamiliar to her. "What do you think this is exactly?" the woman sniped at Auto, suitably the furious 'girlfriend' or whatever they wanted to think she was. "You know what? I can't even... I can't believe you sometimes, you know?" Get rid of the worker? Enjoy the simple, righteous fury of a woman. How to drive a man out of a room? ... she had this.

"You know how much pain I'm in when I'm fucking bleeding from my vagina, you prick, then you decide we're gonna go out - even though I said I wasn't feeling well - and now we're going to what? You wanna go cramming your dick up in what's essentially a murder scene? You really that into making today a shitty day?" And then came the tears, rampant and easy as though she'd been holding them back for ages as her gaze shot at the man who had intruded.

"Please just... we'll be out of here in a minute," she stated over a hiccuped sob as she shot a look back to Autolycus. "I'm not sure I want to let this asshole anywhere near my apartment."

Oh sweet.

All units, distraction in progress.

He slid on by, heading for his A/V closet. Too easy, yo. He'd have to buy The Newlyweds a... roll of paper towels, apparently.

Auto rocks back, as if slapped when Mandy drops into her tirade.

Okay, this isn't what he came up with but he can work with it. He's flexible.

dropping Sense Life and Body Control, no spell contagion penalty

He raises his hands and steps away from the damsel in distress. Let prince charming whisk her away, or at least up to the target's apartment. Mandy's a big girl, she can take care of herself. Nothing wrong with giving her a little help though. Also he didn't particularly like Prince Charming. Dude should spend less time getting into other people's business and more time bathing.

When he's at the door, he looks back at prince charming and reaches up into the Stone Book and pulls down an all purpose hex. It slithers around him, crawls up his nose and digs into his brain, wrecking havoc with his chemistry. Enjoy the low testosterone and manic depression, buddy. It's petty, a little cruel and about as magically subtle as a bull in a china shop, but it's going to make it easier for Mandy to work on her own.

Once outside, he looks for a nearby spot for him to shed his fake face while Mandy deals with her hot mess.

It took him a few. Because stone age.

He'd read about these. Maybe seen a picture. Whatever. Tape, disc, they all worked the same. More importantly? Use the same pretty pointy-icon-things.

First thing? Unscrew the feed. RG-6 coax, removed. Cameras begone! Abracadabra, yo. Next? Rewind the tape. Fifteen minutes. Handy, that big LED counter thing. Then start recording again. Get your snow on.

Last thing? Take a look at the telephone wiring. Sharpie time. Write the date, neatly now, on the punchdown block. Like you did something.

Ready? Go.
