plus i think drag competitions let you lip sync so i wouldn't have to try to sing
[At least being a drag king would get her a hobby that doesn't involve dead bodies?]
[Or possibly "being a druid". She's unclear on how much the history is accurate there. He hasn't said anything about it, but it's not like she knows much about druids. Maybe they don't talk about it a lot.]
oh i KNOW proper lab supplies get so expensive! when i need money i normally just do surgery for people who don't want to go to doctors that ask questions about why they need surgery but if you want to pursue new career paths then i support you!! ^-^
[Sex work is a valid life choice and she's not here to judge.]
[Belatedly, as the thought occurs to her:]
don't worry about paying me for anything, though! i summoned you so it would be silly to ask you to pay rent
[Mercy's rent is honestly pretty minimal. Partially because she lives in an apartment building that could be kindly described as a fucking bomb site, partially because her landlord would honestly rather not talk to her whenever he can avoid it.]
you already support me a lot! like keeping me from dying in the war or teaching me about interesting things or that time i told the social worker you were a temporary legal guardian so she didn't have to come visit me anymore
[It says a lot about how badly this woman wanted to not be involved with this situation anymore that she was willing to pretend Merlin was a responsible adult.]
you can just do fun things because they're fun! ^-^
[It's more than her actual parents did. Keeping her alive on a day to day basis is an achievement that belongs entirely to Charity, with additional support from Mercy's own ability to heal herself.]
that doesn't sound right but i've only had sisters so i guess i can't dispute it??? oh! speaking of fun: where are you and why is there a drag queen??
[Only took them three completely different conversation topics to finally get around to asking.]
i'm glad you're having a nice night! i just want to know in case you need an alibi later you know i'm bad at lying :< so if i need to tell people or police officers that you were somewhere else i need time to practice it in advance pls
["Questionable" raises... well, questions. But he's a Servant, and while the legends are pretty vague on what Merlin died from- or if he died at all- she's pretty sure it wasn't poison. He'll survive the bar.]

call me if anyone ends up in serious medical distress i'm going to be up late tonight studying anyway

Nakajima Atsushi | Bungou to Alchemist
2. One of my students just wrote an essay on how ninjas, like drug addicts, must realize they need help before they can get better... I gave it an A+.
3. I know it is almost summer when the students in my night class start showing up drunk.
4. She actually was beyond drunk, but she for some reason kept calling herself a demigod and made me drive her to a bookstore.
