Where: Tabby's apartment
What: Ash has sent Tabby a letter


A letter sat in Tabby's mail box, slightly crumpled, and waited for her to get home.

It was a letter from Ash who was out chasing Stefan and had been for two weeks now.

The letter reads:

A guy's gotta work, don't ya know?

[info]hound_dawg
Who: Lloyd & Tabby
When: Early afternoon
Where: Thorpe's
What: Job hunting




Lloyd was parked on a bench, wolfing down a burger when he spotted the ‘Help Wanted’ sign in the window of the garage. He’d driven into town for supplies and something immediate to fill his growling stomach. Waking up to the smell of blood had done nothing for his sense of calm, but it had kicked in his appetite.

He dusted crumbs off his shirt as he crossed the street. Money would be a good thing, and working on cars? Piece of cake. He’d never met an engine he couldn’t make sit up and do tricks. Better to get a job now than in a few days time when the new moon made his eyes change.

Lloyd came to the garage door and squinted, peering into the darker interior. "Hey, anyone around?"

Who: Max & Tabby.
When: Morning.
Where: Thorpe's.
What: Max comes seeking a few answers from Tabby.


Being Mysteria born and raised herself, as well as having been in the same grade as Tabby in school, Max knew all about the tragedy that had been in Tabby's life. In fact, knowing about the Thorpe family was the reason Max was walking into the garage, not to have her car fixed, but to ask Tabby a few things. The dreams of those in town weren't getting any better. In fact, they were getting worse. Max had ran into that being again in someone's dream and this time she had caught just a glimpse.

"Tabby," Max called out as she stepped out of the cold and into the slightly warmer garage.

Dino

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and Open
When: Closing time
Where: Outside Thorpes
What: Tabby thinks she sees him again


Tabby turned around as she put her keys back in to her bag and looked up and stared at the end of the road. “Dino?” She gasped softly. She looked stepped forward once. She couldn’t see clearly. But something made her heart leap in to her throat. The way he was stood, he looked like her long lost brother.

She stepped forward carefully. “Dino?” She asked and felt as though her legs were about to buckle beneath her as he waved back at her. “Dino!” She shouted in joy and rushed up towards him. However as she got closer he turned around the corner. She followed and stopped dead in her tracks.

He wasn’t there. She rubbed at her head and glanced around again. “Am I going mad?”

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and OTA
When: mid morning
Where: Thorpes
What: Tabby's suffering from the cold


Tabby collapsed to the ground in the garage with a yelp and a clatter, the contents of her arms scattering across the floor. She panted as the pain in her shoulder and hip stabbed through to her. Taking deep breaths she attempted to stand on her own but sunk back to the floor cursing. She probably shouldn't have come today but she couldn't loose another days business. The garage had what heating on that she could afford but it was so cold her old injuries and bad bones just seized up on her. The pins permanently inside of her were freezing to the core. She wondered how long she'd be knelt on the ground for until either she could push herself up or she got some help.

She hated feeling like this, like she was an old woman at times. It worried her beyond words as to how bad she would be when arthritis kicked in. There were times she couldn't walk because of the pain and the winter was hell. She'd migrate, down to Florida. Probably why all old folk end up there. She tried again to pushed herself up off of the cold concrete floor which was not helping her limbs. "Stupid body." She grumbled as she didn't have the strength in her on arm she could move.

Going mad?

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and Open
When: 6pm
Where: Outside Thorpes
What: Tabby thinks she's seeing things


Brakes went screeching to a halt and Tabby paused for a few seconds to gather herself. After taking a few moments to think she leapt out of her car, "Oh god, oh god oh god." She mumbled to herself, "Please don't have hit them, please don't have hit them!" She moaned as she looked underneath her car and all around. She blinked and rubbed the back of her neck. She couldn't have hit whoever had run across the front of her car. They must have rushed off. She put a hand to her chest to try and calm her heart and kicked the tyre of her truck as her heart raced and images and emotions of her crash when younger flashed in front of her eyes, she hated having to brake like that.

"Damned flashback cr-" She blinked looking out along the street. "Dino?" She whispered to herself. "Dino!?" She shouted and the figure ran away. She followed on foot for a while before she decided she had just been seeing things. She rubbed the back of her neck and walked towards the car and Thorpes slowly. "Y'know...I think I'm going mad." She said rubbing her hand over her heart.

Simple date?

[info]of__life
Who: Ash and Tabby
When: 12pm Onwards
Where: Thorpes, on the road and a hotel in devil's lake
What: Ash is going to surprise Tabby with a romanitc getaway


Ash had been very busy this morning, he had bought some nice clothes, because he really didn't have any. He had rented a car, the bikes would not have them arriving in nice clothes like they left, got them a hotel with a whole two stars and bought flowers! Okay they were cheap flowers but they were pretty and he was poor! More so now he'd payed for this date.

But he figured it was worth it because they'd not actually been out on a date, or really out at all, and he wanted to surprise her and show her a good time!

He stopped the car just around the corner from Thorpes. Yes he knew she wouldn't be ready now, but then it wouldn't be a surprise! Plus he knew she was getting changed here so she had to have her clothes for the evening! Bwahahahaha!

He got out of the car and brushed his jacket, he looked strange in a nice pale blue shirt - but no tie that was just wrong - and black soft jacket and black pants with shiny shoes! But didn't look half bad, just a little odd. He picked up the flowers and walked into the garage, when he spotted Tabby and relised she hadn't noticed him yet he coughed politly and held the flowers in front of him.

I am not your rolling wheels, I am the highway...

[info]dark_firebrand
Who: Tyson and Tabby
When: Afternoon
Where: Thorpes
What: Tabby needs a mechanic, and Ty needs a job.




Tyson didn't go back to Miles' place directly after school, instead wandering the streets of Mysteria, thinking. He'd found something out the previous day which made him feel obligated to stay in Mysteria, and he was ambivalent about that. Conflicted. A part of him wanted to leave, a part of him wanted to stay, but no matter what he wanted to do, he would stay. He had to, no matter what it cost him.

He did know one thing for sure though, he wasn't going to let himself become indebted to Miles. Depending on people made you beholden to them, gave them power over you, and that was something he just wasn't willing to allow. His usual line of work, burglary, was obviously a bad idea in a town so small as this one, so when his eye fell on the "Now Hiring" sign in the mechanic's workshop, he stopped in his tracks. He could do that, he'd worked in a chop-shop for a while, so he could pretty much pull apart cars and put them back together in his sleep.

Heading into the garage, he approached the mechanic, whose legs he could see sticking out from under a vehicle. Bending down to look under the car so he could get a look at the mechanic, he was slightly surprised to see the person lying on the creeper was a woman rather than the man he'd expected. It didn't much matter to him though.

"Hey," He addressed the mechanic briefly to get her attention, "I'm here about the job."

Getting a look at the job she was doing, Ty reached into to her toolbox, selected the next tool she was going to need, and offered it to her.

Who: Ash, Tabby, Tyler (NPC)
When: early evening
Where: Ash's place
What: Ash gets a surprise as he is forced to take care of his son for a while without warning and Tabby is just shocked.


Ash sat down on the sofa and handed Tabby and sandwhich, they had gotten his place pretty clean and tidy today so that was good. It would never stay that way! Plus it highlighted that it was quite a shaby apartment in the first place. "So i was thinking, I have Saturday off work, do you wanna do something?"

the sparkly it burns!

[info]of__life
Who: Ash, Red, Tabby and Stefan
When: Afternoon
Where: Ash's place
What: Red comes to visit her favourite cousin and scares off his brother


Ash was sat on the sofa with Tabby, they had been busy today they had cleaned his place and restocked his cupboards, okay so he didn't know what you did with half of it. But Tabby assured him that she did. He had had to move his concious brother out of the way several times too, he just got in the way.

Stefan was currently sat on the floor clinging to a bottle of gin while muttering about the soppy annoying people.

Neither of them knew the peace was about to be disturbed.

Candy Boy!!

[info]genes_genie_tm
Who: Taini, Tabby and Ly
When: morning
Where: Close to Thorpes Garage
What: Taini spots Candy Boy!


It was another day in Mysteria. Another rather dull and unassuming day of her life as a genie. Her chat with Ben had actually really helped her. She didn’t have any family now, of course she didn’t, they perished so long ago. But she did have Casey and she did have some friends. She was just really scared about being free. It had been something she had craved so long now I was within reach and tangible she was terrified of the prospect of being alone. She needed to talk to Casey and find out what would happen to her afterwards when she was free. She also needed to ask if he would wish for some things she needed to exist afterwards.

She went for a walk to clear her head. She liked to do that. She found herself walking towards Thorpes and spotted that familiar cart stuck out from the door. She smiled thinking of the sweet boy. She walked over and popped her head around the door and spotted his butt up in the air as he was searching underneath a workbench. “Hey Candy Boy.” She purred to him.

Surprise!

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby, Ash and Stefan
When: Late evening
Where: Replace with location.
What: Replace with summary.


Tabby knocked on Ash’s door and waited for it to open, in her hands she had a bag full of food and another bag full of cleaning stuff. She was sick and tired of the state of Ash’s place. Honestly, wasn’t cleanliness next to godliness? Then again god and angels apparently were two separate things. She tapped on the door again and rocked her head humming to herself.

What was taking him so long? She let out a sigh, he was in wasn’t he? It was his day off! He usually spent it sleeping. She didn’t understand how he didn’t get a belly on him, he never seemed to exercise beyond anything energetic with her. It must be the fact he was an angel.

She knocked for the third time.

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby, Ash and OTA
When: just before midnight and on
Where: The Last Round
What: Tabby finally arrives in a fair mood and goes to find Ash to cheer herself up!

Tabby walked in and threw her coat on to the pile in the corner on top of a spare table and chuckled as she looked around at the costumes of all the people. Everyone looked in high spirits as it was just a few minutes before midnight. She had to find Ash quickly otherwise someone else would get him for a midnight kiss.

Her jaw dropped a little when she saw his outfit and covered her mouth to halt a chuckle, “Oh lord…bad angel.” She muttered to herself. That outfit left nothing to the imagination. Even though she had seen it all before it was still enough to cause a soft blush to her cheeks.

She walked forward and bumped herself in to Ash and waited for him to turn around to see her in a red, black and white Pit stop Girl outfit. It was quite revealing. Though she was a little self conscious about her scars so she had pulled on a pair of pantyhose that were skin colour underneath her hot pants so you couldn’t see them, or notice the scarring from her accident. She unzipped her top a little to show off her cleavage some more smeared the grease some more, looking up waiting for Ash to spot her.

The end is nigh, but I did it my way - the wrong way

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and Open
When: 9am
Where: Thorpes Garage
What: Tabby has finally been allowed back in and doesn’t know what is going to happen now without another mechanic

The police had been in and done all they could on the concrete shop floor where Rhys had been found dead. Thankfully there hadn’t been much blood to wash away and all the evidence had been taken. She knew though that it was going to end up a Cold Case. She opened the door and stepped in and pressed the button to open the main garage door. As it whirred open her eyes drifted towards the spot she had found her friend.

A selfish haze was washing over her though. She had to carry on some how but she didn’t know how she could run the place on her own. Well, she did know how she could run it, in to the ground. She looked as the doors opened fully. Then she stood staring down at the spot where Rhys had been. Sweet Rhys. She sighed softly. This was the end now, wasn’t it?

burn baby burn

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and Cassie(NPC)
When: Late night
Where: Streets of Mysteria
What: Tabby brings her sisters life to a conclusion Rhys death spurring her on

It had been a day of utter heartache for Tabby. She had lost a good friend and she knew who had taken him! The police were looking at it as a robbery, that Rhys had been attacked with what looked like a screw driver. Twice to the neck as well as being thrown around a little, they assumed there had been a struggle. Of course an investigation was going to have to take place but Tabby had been inconsolable when she had discovered him. But as the day had gone on, she had just become angry. Bitter and twisted. She wanted to make Cassie suffer for this one. She had to find her and she had to finish this. Tonight!

Before night fall she had left the house with her toy from Mexico and gone off in to the streets trying to find where her sister would sleep through the day. Somewhere despicable. Somewhere surrounded by drug dealers and bars. She walked through the whole town trying to get in to the mid set of her sister. It wasn’t really luck that had her find her sister. Cassie had decided to come out and gloat. To rile Tabby. So as soon as darkness crawled over the town, Cassie had crawled out of her hole.
Hello my dearest weaker half. )

Blue Christmas

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and Open
When: 9:00am
Where: Thorpes Garage
What: there’s an ill feeling at Thorpes

Sitting on the work bench, thick trousers on, a strap on her leg and a heavy heart. It was too quiet now inside the garage. She’d tried. She really had tried to get Rhys to leave his flat. But in all honestly she couldn’t blame him for wanting to hide underneath his duvet forever. Seemed quite a good course with everything she knew. But it made her ache to see him so terrified of everything. He even seemed to be scared of her, or what she brought. The fact he knew about her crazy sister didn’t help her to calm him down. He seemed to be falling in to himself more and more. She saw him as much as she could, but now she had twice the work, well, if there was any work.

She looked around the garage, the little Christmas tree her and Rhys had put up only days ago just made her feel so blue. She sighed softly. Things were crumbling about her and she had very few people in her life to offer support.

She sighed again and did what she always did in this situation. Put on some cheerful music, focus on the good things that were happening in her life and delve in to her work. There was a car in the garage, at last, but it was only needing a tune up. Nothing major and nothing that would get Thorpes much money. She started to whistle. She was not going emo on peoples butts!

She needed to drum up some business.

well that was interesting

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and Ash
When: 4:00 am
Where: Ash’s place
What: Tabby says ‘hi’ to Ash and wonders how she ended up back at his

That had been a strange night. Well, morning really. Rubbing her face and thinking about how it had happened she wasn't really sure looking back.
She'd been out patrolling, making sure her sister wasn't anywhere to be seen. Her new toy on her hip. She remembered she needed to give Casey his present too. She shook her head getting back to her train of thought trying not to go off on a tangent again.
So, she was out patrolling. Just after 1 she had found herself close to The Last Round and she remembered the fun she had had with Ash and wanted to just say hi.
How had she gone from 'hi' to being rammed senseless against the wall in his Dining room? She really couldn't recall. It had all really been a blur. She looked down at her scattered clothing and various weapons that had been exposed. Although he wasn't asking questions yet. He was still asleep on the sofa. She was sat in the chair and shaking her head at the state of his apartment. It wasn't dirty just untidy.
She sighed as she caught sight of her dagger and various hunting equipment. She'd have gathered everything up and left if she could walk. She was quite sure her pelvis was broken in to about three pieces. She gave Ash a soft smile as he snorted in his sleep and rolled off of the couch. He was too big to sleep on that thing. She pulled the blanket around her shoulders and sighed softly.
She had just wanted to say 'hi'.

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby and Rhys
When: early morning
Where: Rhys apartment
What: Tabby goes to try and drag Rhys back out in to the world.

Once the light had returned and the eclipse was over, Rhys had basically run home with his tail between his legs. Much to Tabby’s protests. But she couldn’t really blame him. It had crept her out and scared the life out of her. But he’d been scared as soon as it went dark! She didn’t think it was pathetic. She thought it was adorable. Endearing.

But when she had gotten in to work this morning and he hadn’t been waiting with a cup of coffee for her, she had gotten worried.

It was probably loosing her money to not have the garage open. But Rhys was more important to her than the business.

So she knocked on his door and hoped for an answer.

Whats going on with the world today?

[info]mysterymechanic
Who: Tabby, Rhys and Open
When: 12:16
Where: Thorpe’s Garage
What: Work on a car that had gone in to a wall was halted by the eclipse.

Okay, maybe it was paranoia. But an eclipse that was not predicted and that had already lasted for six minutes was really beginning to worry her. Well worry was the wrong word. Scare her. Rigid. She grabbed the torches from the side and walked towards the little door at the side and shone it out in to the street seeing if she could spot anyone out there. When she didn’t see anyone she closed the door quickly and turned the flashlight off.

She walked back to the little office and sat down on the couch next to Rhys. She didn’t feel good about this!

He looked to the window then turned on the television to see if there was any new about this.
