[The Darklings are out with everyone's favorite mobster tonight. It sounds like they're going somewhere. It also sounds like these aren't your normal imp-like Darklings. They sound....bigger. Meaner.]

It's good to be back in business, boss.

Yeah, for a while we thought you'd never come around.

[Jackie is strangely quiet. There's a sound like a

[This was not a good week. Jackie (the Weapon) was out of it, people were screaming and crying and hallucinating on the networks, and Death the Kid did not like it. It was too much like home, like the Insanity Wavelength that permeated the air, like the all-consuming madness of Fear and Knowledge and Power (and Order). Right now, he's out of the apartment because he has to be, because he's on some little errand that's less important than he's making it out to be.

He is armed, but they're man-made guns, nothing like his Demon Pistols.

He's alert, but the lack of Soul Perception is unsettling, and he's not quite used to his sixth sense being blind.]

Kid.

[SUDDENLY JACKIE IS BEHIND YOU.]

[~Quicklog~]

[symmetryguns]

[Kid doesn't, shouldn't startle easily, but he wasn't expecting to hear a vaguely familiar voice from where no one had been standing. He turns quickly to face the man, and manages to match a name with the face.]

Jackie.

[This was Nill's father, and while they might not be on the best of terms, the man wouldn't hurt him.]

[~Quicklog~]

[theforceoncrack]

[He didn't have to be standing there before. He came from the shadows. The shadows that may or may not be...whispering?]

Pretty late for you to be up, huh?

[He does not look happy, mainly because he is being bothered by those silly fish things a well.

Then hearing this? Yes, the Enki is upset..]

Jackie-san. Where are you?

[theforceoncrack]

[He looks into the screen, and gives it a cool smile.]

Hey.

Re: [Video]

[of_wild_clay]

Hello.

...

Jackie who are you speaking with?

[theforceoncrack]

Just the guys.

[Action/Commentlog... thing]

[givenomercy]

[Lazarevic was on his way to help with these towers that needed to be put up, not to help people mind you. To learn more about this place and the people, the Scientists. Being ignorant wouldn't help him at all, so he had to play along to a degree to learn what he needed to.

So he'll be trudging through the streets, double barreled shot gun in hand. A shame he's pretty much down to his last couple shots on it.]

[Action/Commentlog... thing]

[theforceoncrack]

Pretty big gun you got there, kid.

[This is leading into a compensation joke.]

[Action/Commentlog... thing]

[givenomercy]

[The voice and comment catch him off guard, which pisses him off to begin with. But being called a KID. Lazarevic was not impressed. He'll turn towards the voice, said big gun held up in a offensive stance.]

This 'kid' is in no mood to be made a mockery, if you have nothing better to do I could show you how well I handle this 'big gun'. [A sneer.]

[Action/Commentlog... thing]

[theforceoncrack]

Hey, don't get your panties in a twist, big guy. [This guy was just waiting to explode. He'd have fun ripping him apart. Jackie raises his hands in a gesture of surrender, but his smile is mocking.]

...:D?

[always_on_duty]

[Gadget is up a bit later than he should be, but with everyone going crazy, he's needed out here more than ever, at least according to him. Technically, he's "patrolling", but he's not doing a very observant job at it. He never does, really.]

[theforceoncrack]

[Even if he was paying attention he might not notice Jackie and the Darklings. They're hidden, sticking to the shadows, where they can rule uninterrupted.

Of course, sometimes you need to step into the light to lure someone in.]

Inspector. Hey.

:3

[always_on_duty]

[He jolts and turns -- oh, it's just Nill's daddy. Gadget's relief is evident and he raises one hand in a casual wave. He trusts this guy, and doesn't notice anything untoward going on.]

Hi, Mr. Jackie!

killing or hurting or what? XD

[theforceoncrack]

[Oh, man, it's almost better this way. To have everyone trust him, because he's been a good boy for so long, so why shouldn't they? It's too easy.]

You're not out lookin' for trouble this late at night, are ya?

{Voice; English}

[dontcallmegol]

I beg to differ. {Talking to the darklings and sounding pretty stern.}

[theforceoncrack]

Something wrong, kid?

[Hi Ace. Hi. HI.]

[dontcallmegol]

People need emotions and identity. Besides, I got something better than the darkness.

Me.

[theforceoncrack]

Don't mean to break your heart, Ace, but you've still got the wrong parts.

[No comment on the emotions and identity....]
