Summary: Mercy trips over something
Status: Complete
Mercedes was not accustomed in the least to having nothing to do for days at a time. She had days off, yes, but this was going on weeks of nothing. No trips, no animals to tend to. No surgeries. No ... anything. There were people to chat with, and games to play, movies to watch, but it was wearing on her without a purpose.
She'd made a few friends, though it was awkward since most of the population was a good ten years younger than her -- at least -- or significantly older than her. She was starting to feel like the odd man out, and that, too, was wearing on her. Nothing about this place bred positivity, so she could certainly see why negativity ran rampant.
As she strolled along, one sandal-clad foot caught on something protruding from the ground. She grunted as she stumbled, the heels of her hands barking against the dirt before she peered down to see what it was. Rotating to face it, she dug at the dirt a little with her hands until she revealed ... buried treasure!
So, all right, it was probably just armor, but wasn't that like treasure now? The dirt was certainly softer than the rest of the places she'd wandered, and she shook her head as she dug and pushed it away. She revealed a curve of metal and decided she was probably onto something with that. Rising, she wandered into the hardware store and poked around until she found a trowel. Well, it wasn't idea, but it would do.
Roaming back out, Mercy started to whistle as she dropped to her knees and started to attempt to unbury what she assumed was a bear's helmet.
