[As opposed to her more...domestic and at-home pursuits, Bella is actually outside during this particular network video. More than that, she's grimy, covered in grease and oil, with her hair in a messy ponytail and smudges on her face and clothes.

The reason for this becomes clear as she flips the feed to reveal her beloved '63 Chevy pick-up truck. It's...definitely seen better days, even more so because it's covered in the bloody residue from one of the blood blisters around town bursting.

Flipping the image back to her grim face, Bella looks deadly serious.] I don't know if anyone else had like...cars or bikes come with them, but if you have any experience or...any ideas on how to get blood out of an engine, that'd be great.

[Quietly, to the car:] You're not quitting on me, not after all this time...

[ he's missed it too, actually. ]

It's a '67 Impala. Wanna see?

[ He can go outside and show on video. ]

[kroenleinia]

[Her eyes light up.] Yeah, definitely! If, uh, that's cool with you.

[venatoris]

Absolutely. One second.

[ Give him a minute to go outside and pull the cover from his car, then step back so he can show off his gleaming black car. ]

Aint she a beaut?

[kroenleinia]

[Bella lets out a low, impressed whistle.] That's beautiful. The cover's a good idea too.

[venatoris]

[ He looks pleased, like he's being praised himself. Which, you know. He kinda is, cause the number of times he's had to restore her himself is countless. ]

Yeah, especially with those blood blisters busting. Where are you? I can come see what I can do about the blood in the engine. If it's something beyond me, we can call Wanda. She's excellent.

[kroenleinia]

I'm in Gaze -- if it's not too far, that'd be awesome. [Bella lets out a heavy sigh.] At this point I'll take any help I can get.

[venatoris]

Nah, no trouble. That's what the little creepy lamps are for, right?

[ Then again, he'll take any excuse to drive his car, so. ]
