Cleanest street corner ever [Wednesday afternoon]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

What else was a greaser to do on a Wednesday afternon but lounge against a building with a comb and fix his ducktail? There wasn't a malt shop with a jukebox anywhere! Cade had looked (well, looked in a way that made it very obvious that he didn't care, of course. That's why he had a leather jacket on, too, to prove how much he didn't care. Just like everyone else with a ducktail and a leather jacket).

So outdoor haircare it was as he hummed the Big Bopper's latest hit under his breath and checked his reflection periodically in the reflection off of the building's window.

[OOC: Come! Have a conversation, wake up black and white tomorrow!]

Mercy was heading to the bookstore to pick up some new reading material when she saw - no, that absolutely couldn't be - was that Cade?

She almost walked past, sure that she must be mistaken, but the scent was the same so she stopped, looking him over carefully. "Cade?"

"Looking good, doll," Cade said with a little grin.

[OOC: Ugh, stupid timezones. About to head to bed. SP=love?]

[walkswithcoyote]

"Doll?" She couldn't help side-eyeing him a little. "Um... what's with the color change?"


[OOC: Stupid timezones and stupid work! SP is always love!]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"What change?" Cade asked, confused.

[walkswithcoyote]

"You're just... not quite looking like yourself," Mercy said. "And I've never seen your hair quite like... that."

"Pretty hip, huh?" Cade replied proudly, whipping out his comb and fixing it again.

[walkswithcoyote]

"Hip... Well..." She gave in to whatever weirdness Fandom was apparently afflicting her (never expecting she'd wake up the same way tomorrow) and nodded. "Yes, totally hip."

Cade grinned before deciding that smiling wasn't greaser enough. "What're you doing out here?"

[walkswithcoyote]

"I was going to the bookstore," she said. "I could use some new reading material. What are you up to? Other than just hanging around looking, um, 'hip'."



[You saw nothing!]

"Just takin' five before I go back to working on my bike," Cade said.

The bike that was...somewhere.

[walkswithcoyote]

Her eyes lit up. "You have a bike? I love those!"

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"It's a Harley," Cade said, grinning back.

[walkswithcoyote]

"You never told me about this before," she said with a smile. "I'd have been begging you for a ride."

"You like to go fast, baby?" Cade replied, arching his eyebrows.

Like...kissing on the first date? Cade was network television badass.

Mercy gave him an odd look. "Um... actually, yes. Crashed Bran's Porsche, back when I lived in Aspen Creek, but it was wild while it lasted."

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"A Porsche?" Cade whistled.

[walkswithcoyote]

"Yeah. Boy, did I get in trouble for that," she said, "But it was worth it."
