[ Goes with this, which was posted the day before. In theory.]

[Asch does his best to ignore the dampness, tugging the hood further down over his head. A cloak hangs limply across his shoulders, obscuring his red hair and hiding the sword he carries on his person. Asch lets out a soft breath and looks out over the city from the peak of the so-

[Jin was mildly interested when he read the notice; Attempts to leak away all the hideousness of this shithole. Without even a milisecond of postponing, Jin was going to show himself at the said place. His seriousness in this? Over 9000.

Just around two minutes after the exact time, Jin arrived in the tower. Quickly, he scanned around for the... Yap, that man-in-hood, he assume.]

You're the one who posted this?

[claim_my_place]

[Asch studies Jin from beneath his hood. On time, and from the way this guy moves with purpose, he appears to mean business. The redhead can respect that.]

[Asch inclines his head briefly in response to the question.]

I did.

[ofyukianesa]

[Jin may or may not let out a relieved sigh. At least he found the person sooner than anything.]

Fill me in.

[This seems so rushed, even for himself. But we all know what priority is.]

[claim_my_place]

No one's making much headway in this city. Even those of us who've been kept here for months know little more than they did when they first arrived.

By cooperating as a small unit, spreading out, and sharing any information that's uncovered, there's a stronger likelihood of getting to the bottom of things and finding a way out.

[ofyukianesa]

[Jin might narrow his eyes a bit at Asch's words. This guy in front of him... Is no amateur is this. +0,01 respect.]

I agree. So what's your first plan?

[claim_my_place]

"Know your enemy and know the terrain."

Observing the locals more closely since they're not about to agree to an audience; I've heard some interesting stories about some of them.

Also exploring the borders of the city for anything unusual. There's a lot of forest and mountain area that I doubt anyone's spent much time in.

[ofyukianesa]

[A nod of understanding at Asch's speech]

Interesting stories? Mind explain it a bit further?

[claim_my_place]

Normally you can't tell one from another - they have no distinguishing features. But there are at least several with unique attributes.

One person claims she followed a local woman who then proceeded to turn a doorknob into ice so she couldn't be followed.

[ofyukianesa]

[Ice, eh? Now that's interesting... Because every ice melts, counting Jin's Drives as well.]

You got any info about that woman? Her name, or where she lives, for starters?

[claim_my_place]

The local woman was seen wandering the estates in the Golden District.

[But if Jin meant the contact information of his source, he's out of luck.]

[ofyukianesa]

That info is enough.

[A brief pause.]

Minus your identity. Who are you?

[claim_my_place]

That's something I'd prefer not to disclose.

[ofyukianesa]

[Tch, figures.]

Then how should we communicate with each other should someone found something? Seal?

[claim_my_place]

[Nothing personal.]

Not directly. We'll develop a code.

If something comes up, talk about the weather over the Seals and I'll locate you.

[ofyukianesa]

...Very well, I agree to the terms. Is there anything else I should know?

[claim_my_place]

[Have a curt nod of confirmation.]

No. Nothing that I'm currently aware of.
