Who: Grease Monkey / [personal profile] buildallthethings and OPEN, with a special prompt for Jason/[personal profile] robintohood
What: CATCH-ALL log for Grease Monkey and/or Fix-It All-Tow
When: Throughout the month of May
Where: Fix-It All-Tow, Central City


As the Confluence settles and the world goes back to what it considers 'normalcy' - for now, at least - the queue at Fix-It All-Tow never seems to end. Which is good - busy means business - and bad - because a certain unofficial 'mascot' is finding less and less time to mess around with xeir toys.

Sleeping through a portion of the day - part of the 'agreement' xey have with the owner involves staying out of sight as much as possible, and only working on vehicles after-hours or when it's otherwise not obvious that they not only employ a meta, but one who's probably toeing the line of 'old enough to actually be employed' - GM keeps to xeir loft or finds other ways to keep xemself busy. You might find xem watching some new building going up for a few minutes before getting bored and moving on, or maybe trying to hawk a piece or two of tech at a street 'vendor'. You know, the ones with the blankets.

Xey've at least got the timing down, more or less; sleeping through school hours means nobody questions why they aren't there in the first place. Outside of school hours, who cares about a scrungy meta as long as said meta goes out of their way to keep from bumping in to people or otherwise causing trouble?

And then the sun goes down, the lights go on, and Grease Monkey? Goes up.

At this point, unless xey're working on a car, xey can be spotted darting from rooftop to rooftop in search of mischief something interesting. Whether it's a fight outside a bar or a break-in in progress, GM tends not to interfere directly...but if things fall to the ground? That might catch xeir attention even more, waiting to see if there's a clean moment to either scavenge, or, well...

There's always a gadget or two to test out.
