Gettin' Branded {Ashling}

[Mercedes Rowe]

What a night? Mercedes was laughing at something Ashling said as they headed for the tattoo place. They both had had a lot to drink, and it wasn't the easy stuff. It was enough that Mercy stumbled over her feet a few times. But, man, it had been such a fun night.

She had become such great friends with the blonde next to her. They were more like family, which was not unusual to happen with werewolves. They formed packs and became tight. Still, Mercedes thought there was something more than that. She felt like Ashling had become like a sister or best friend to her.

Well, here they were, outside this oriental looking tattoo parlor. "Is this-" She hiccuped and covered her mouth. "-it?" It was an extremely odd looking tattoo parlor. She brought her hazel eyes up. Her long hair fell off of her shoulders, bringing a shot of cool air over her hot neck. The alcohol they had ingested earlier was making her sweat. She blinked lazily at the sign. "Well, I guess this is the place," she said, pointing up at the name.

The ground felt like it was moving beneath her feet and she stumbled again. She laughed as she stumbled too. She'd never felt this good. Ashling had some friends that could get shifters some really good stuff. It didn't wear off as quickly as most alcohol did for weres.

"I'm really gettin' branded.." She laughed, bumping her shoulder against Ashling's. "It's a good thing I won't remember this... What was that stuff again? We better remember the name of it." It really was. The doctor in her would have thought of the things they would need to do as far as tattoos went; the needles, ink, etc. It was better that they had gotten drunk prior, much better. She didn't have to think too deeply about it.

Her hand seemed to move in slow motion as it came to the handle of the shop door. Hell, if she didn't know any better she'd think it was laced with some sort of drug. Whatever it was, it was some really good stuff.

(fee...... Me so sorry. Ash's muse suddenly got stupid on me!! *bangs head* )

Drunk as a skunk in a bunk.

Yup, that is what she and her new sister, Mercy, were as they strolled along the street giggling like two fiends and acting twice as loopy. Every once in a while, one of them would stumble and the other would have to help them keep upright before repeating the same process a few feet down the road.

Thank god there were no police around. No doubt, they'd both have gotten arrested for public intoxication at the rate they were going.

What was it they were doing again anyways? OH YEAH!! Tattoos! They were on their way to get branded with marks that would make them blood sisters... or some such nonsense. Ash remembered commenting vaguely about swapping something to make them sister and some how.. tattoos had come up. Next thing she knew, there they were.. Stumbling down the road on their way to do the deed.

Then, suddenly, they were at the shop and eying the sign with bleary eyes. Vaguely she heard Mercy ask if this was the place and she thought she'd nodded but wasn't sure. Before she could blink, they were through the doors and standing inside a brightly lit room. Hiccuping a bit, she pulled out a flash and shook it randomly before beaming at her friend.


"Its Zoe's homemade stuff... not sure what it is.. "she drawled before looking around. "HELLO? ANYONE HOME? WE NEED TO GET BRANDED!!!"

Giggling suddenly, Ash flopped into a seat and took the cap off the bottle.

"You want some more, Mercy??"

((It's okay~))

The bright lights inside the tattoo shop was stabbing Mercy in the eyeballs. Her lids lowered, so that she was squinting as she looked around the place. Was the room spinning or was it just her?

"Zoe makes liquor too?" She stumbled over to the seat next to Ash, flopping down next to her. "OH! Looook!" She probably said that a little too loudly. She snatched up a couple of portfolios on the table in front of them. It had all sorts of photos and drawings of tattoos.

The portfolio opened and on her lip, she grinned at Ash. "Hell yes, I do!" She reached for the flask and tipped it back, taking a hearty swig. Some of it spill out of the corner of her mouth and she laughed, wiping up the remnants with the tips of her fingers.

Flipping through the portfolio, she suddenly squealed with excitement and pointed at a drawing. "We should get something like this!" It was a drawing of paw prints. "On our backs or hips, maybe even over our shoulders!"

It was perfect! Or she thought it was perfect, but she still needed to see what Ash thought about it. "What do you think?" She shoved the portfolio towards the other woman then reached for the flask again, but as she did she completely missed it. Her fingers hit air and she stared at her hand like it was possessed or something.

About that time a male came around the corner. "May I help you?" He wasn't littered with as many tattoos as she expected. Actually, he looked kind of normal.

"We are here to get branded!" She laughed, leaning against Ash.
