Something there is that doesn't love a wall

Oct 17, 2010 00:42

WHO: Victor and Molly
WHAT: Carpentry and conversation
WHERE: Paradise Motel
WHEN: Saturday afternoon
WARNINGS: they are totally not licensed contractors
SUMMARY: Victor ran down to NM to see to Gert, who turned out to not need his help at all. So he's taking the opportunity to hang with his favorite mutant and make himself useful.

But what the hell, let's make one anyway )

If there was one good thing that could be said about the past few weeks, it was that all of the bad things that happened convinced Angel, Yuugao and her to move out of the motels and into a place of their own, and the Warren-sized hole in their wall, just meant that they could leave that specific room sooner rather than later.

"I got this," She smiled and stepped forward, holding the drywall in place and waited for Victor to do what he needed to do.

"I'm sorry that you missed Gert. She didn't seem to want to spend any time here at all... Not that I can blame her." Molly was a little disappointed that she didn't get to see Gert for longer than just one evening, but afteer everything that had been happening in Truth or Consequences lately, she really didn't blame her for leaving.

"How long do you think you'll be staying?"

Vic begins nailing the wallboard to the studs.

"Yeah, me too. I don't think she likes me - we got off on a weird foot. And the whole thing with just...getting zapped here, probably really rattled her, you know?"

Being free to do this with his power instead of a hammer is nice. A few more nails and hey look, it's a wall. He steps back.

"I dunno, Molly, a few days? Just long enough till you're sick of me. Anything you wanna do?"

She frowns slightly at that. "I don't think that she doesn't like you, she's just... More like old Gert that the way she was before she, uh... And I don't think that she met you before now either, since she remembers everything differently."

Once the wall was secured, she steps back and dusts off her hands, smiling at Vic a little. "Our Gert didn't like it when her future self came and told us about you, so maybe she doesn't know how to feel since we're all different from who she knows?"

She thinks for a moment, looking pretty pleased that he'd be here for a little while, especially since Gert had just up and left, and she really didn't get to see all of them that much anymore. "You'd never leave then... I haven't really done that much around here, and I don't really know what there is to do. Maybe Dazzler will perform sometime soon."

He shakes dust out of his shirt and starts putting the borrowed tools away. Damn, it had been a long time since he'd just hung out and relaxed, was he forgetting how? He scratches his head.

"Hmm. We could just wander around town, get ice cream. Throw rocks at clouds? There's gotta be something."

"You still into Dazzler? Pixie's all -- uh, there's this X-kid who's all berserk about her, might be fun to get together with her sometime."
