I really hope this page makes sense. If it does, you're probably wincing a little...

At least Mercy seems to be okay for now. A little self-defense training seems to have helped.

Our girl can handle herself. This one got the drop on her.

Thought for a moment she was going all Molly Millions on homeboy here... just repeating something I said to a certain spud-slinger, but Mercy carries a razor blade on her person, doesn't she?

(Probably with her smokes.)
Professor Etheric 26th Apr 2016, 11:51 PM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
Well, she may or may not have a razor blade (probably does), but the Molly Millions analogy is more appropriate. Those things are stylish AND effective in a case like this.

Eye see what you did there.

Your pun catches my eye much like Mercy just caught the unidentified goon's eye just here. *shakes fist in impotent rage*

Eye know, right?
anonymous coward 27th Apr 2016, 3:28 AM edit delete reply
And this is why controlling an opponent's limbs is much more important than controlling their centre of mass to prevent them from fighting. The choice of tactics and hold he used suggests that the bigger guy was expecting the other guy to start beating Mercy before she could do this. Poor assumptions kill... or sometimes do worse than just kill.
Professor Etheric 27th Apr 2016, 10:35 AM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
Yep. Because all she used was basic self-defense moves.

not being a fighter myself, I had to do some research here. This particular series of moves seemed the simplest and most brutal while not going over the top. Much like an investigator like Mercy would know (well, that and street brawling, as evidenced by her earlier use of brass knuckles).

Hoho! I like all the blurry effects!

Thanks! I felt like they give a good idea of "action".

This page reminds me of my water polo playing days...

It sounds like you had some rough water polo days...

Mercy is just a name.

You can tell so much with a hand and some wrinkles...that should help him forget about some of the eye pain.
Professor Etheric 27th Apr 2016, 3:09 PM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
Yes, I'm sure the eye pain is out of his mind. Distant hopes of having kids, on the other hand...

Ouch, indeed!

It is a common superstition that black cats are bringing bad luck...
Professor Etheric 27th Apr 2016, 3:09 PM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
It is indeed. And Mercy may very well BE a black cat of sorts...
anonymous coward 27th Apr 2016, 6:54 PM edit delete reply
Maybe I just haven't noticed, but I don't think you've shown firm evidence of Mercy having feline characteristics yet. She doesn't seem like the type to wear the ears and tail in full fetish pervert style either. I'm not at all convinced there's anything feline about her.
Delta-v 28th Apr 2016, 2:17 AM edit delete reply
How about her "touch me at your peril" attitude? :)
anonymous coward 28th Apr 2016, 10:59 AM edit delete reply
Eh, you could argue it's a start but there's plenty of humans like that who aren't the least bit feline. Needs moar argument.

Duuuude. ...that's gotta hurt xD

He started it! XD
Delta-v 28th Apr 2016, 2:20 AM edit delete reply
Okay, so you probably had this page already queued up when I posted about wincing.

Nice deadpan response--you really did fool me. ^^
Professor Etheric 28th Apr 2016, 2:44 AM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
I DID have this ready at that time. However, the point remains. You were probably right. Being a pacifist myself, I don't go around throwing punches, especially after temporarily blinding people. I suppose I shoulda done a bit more homework on that one.

This one, I DID do my homework! :D

That nail looks lethal, man. Kind of makes me think I should grow my nails out a bit, maybe paint them black... just so I can be as cool as Mercy!
Professor Etheric 8th May 2016, 12:22 AM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
*gasp*

Even if you are joking, even CONSIDERING that someone might want to emulate Mercy is... I'm... I'm stunned.
junoro 8th May 2016, 1:41 AM edit delete reply

But...she's so cool! Do you know how rad it would be to have those shades and nails???? SO RAD.
Professor Etheric 8th May 2016, 10:50 AM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
Thank you!

Yeah, she IS pretty rad, isn't she? :)

And that's why us chicks keep such long nails.
;-)
Professor Etheric 10th May 2016, 11:22 PM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
I always suspected as much... XD

(It seemed to me that Mercy NOT using the nails I have so carefully showed her to have might be a wasted opportunity.)

Hahaha when I think she would use a magic spell or something, here come a bar fight techniques XD luv it
Professor Etheric 8th Oct 2018, 7:49 PM edit delete reply
Professor Etheric
Barroom tricks were more expedient in this case. :)
