[This place was starting to get to him. Weeks of talking to people who didn't know shit, weeks of looking for a way out that didn't exist. For now he was still laying low, playing the good butcher's assistant, still chatting up the vacant-eyed natives in the vain hope one of them would slip. He might as well be talking to corpses

I may be able to lend a hand.

[skokie_quartet]

You will? Oh that's great. I appreciate it, I really do. I can get most of the smaller stuff, but the couch and the dresser are gonna be a pain in the ass. This is the kinda thing you'd call a mover or something for. Only I don't think this place has movers. And I don't think I'd trust 'em if they did anyway.

Oh! And I'm Verbal, sorry. Probably should have said that before I started talking your ear off, yeah?

[dynamic_may_lee]

Well, if it's a strong arm you need, I'm your gal! You see...

I AM THE FLASHING STAR OF TEAM KOREA AND STAR STUDENT OF OUR NATION'S HERO, KIM KAPHWAN! I AM THE BURNING SPIRIT THAT IGNITES THE FLAME OF HOPE AND FIGHTS EVIL WITH HER OWN TWO FEET!

I AM A WARRIOR THAT FIGHTS FOR TRUTH!
JUSTICE!
AND THE KOREAN WAY!

I AM THE ONE AND ONLY DYNAMIC MAY LEE~!!!!

[There is a moment of silence on the other end as Verbal shakes his head to get the ringing out of his right ear. Ow. Loud. When his voice comes back, it sounds a bit startled, and a bit more bemused.]

Uh...wow! That's pretty impressive. Seriously, that's...wow. I kinda wish I had some uh...some ninjas or something for you to fight off for me, but uh...I just have the couch. It's really good to meet you, May Lee? Is it okay if I call you May Lee?

[Walking by, Tifa sees him in the garage. He's probably seen her pass by before, looking forlorn. This time she decides to speak to him.]

Clearing stuff out?

[skokie_quartet]

[He looks up and gives her a friendly smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. As he leans on the broom, it's rather obvious why he made the call. His left leg is sharply twisted, and his left arm hangs limply from his shoulder.]

Heh. Kind of the opposite, actually. The bedroom keeps getting broken into by whoever runs this joint. Maybe in here they'll leave me alone.

[He gives a jerk of his head, indicating the interior of the garage.]

[heartofheaven]

[She smiles back, one hand going to her other arm.]

I don't suppose you've seen a sword in the house? A really big one?

[skokie_quartet]

[He shakes his head, his smile turning sympathetic.]

Can't say that I have, sorry. There's a carving knife or two in the kitchen, but I'm guessing that's not really what you're looking for. Was it your sword?

[Gabriel appears as Verbal is in the garage, doing whatever he does in the garage at this hour whilst moving things.]

You said you could use a hand. What about two?

[Friendly smirk.]
