As anyone who was savvy with the needs when living among the crooked bastards that made up the vast majority of the Scum, Mordecai knew that the alleys and backstreets made excellent escape routes, whether one was running from law enforcement, one's victims or fellow criminals. The mercantile areas were a spot that Mordecai was quite fond of when to came to making himself disappear, and he was most appreciative that, at the completion of his most recent job, he happened to be in that part of town. Clutching what was to be his token for proof of his successful assassination, Mordecai stuffed his victim's cufflinks into the pocket of his black, pinstriped slacks. From the other pocket he withrew a small tin of a sort of polishing grease and a handkerchief. Gathering a little bit on one part of the rag, he rubbed the translucent stuff onto his robotic arm, neatly removing nearly any and all traces of striking anything. All of the minor scuffs and scratches disappeared, and by the time he was done, the plates could almost be used as a sort of mirror, they shone with such luster.<br/><br/>Mordecai stepped into the dusty hustle and bustle of the marketplace, thinking of what to do. His client wouldn't be back in London for at least a week, and so he decided there was little else than to wait. There were a few things that he could do in the meantime, and one was to continue working on making more gadgets to help him on his next assignments. The only problem was, he was running low on materials, and therefore went about to look for some.<br/><br/>It was then that he happened upon a stall with a few people gathered around, the shopkeeper peddling out robotic pets. Though he was certain that he would have been able to just push his way to the front of them all and demand the parts he needed through intimidation, he considered himself better than that, and waited in the back of the group; his arm would mark him for the dirtbag he was made out to be, and decided it would also be in his best interests to show patience and not draw any more attention than his mechanical limb already would.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
