melodiesoflife | Who Knows What Evil Lurks In The Hearts Of Men? [Open]

Who: Jack, Tsubomi, and You!
What: Jack and Tsubomi got carte blanche to go after criminals in Aqures Ixen for a Job quest.
When: After the return from the Lunar Gate quest, throughout the month of May.
Where: The rooftops and streets of Aqures Ixen.
Why: That's the question we're all asking ourselves.

Out from the night from the mist steps a figure...

No wait, wrong intro.

It just takes a minute, and you'll feel no pain...

Let's not, that goes bad places.

I am the terror that something something night?

Now you're way off.

What is for certain is that there is one more person prowling Aqures Ixen's rooftops. With the odd job combination of Dragoon and Archer, hiding his identity by dressing in all black light armor, a hood and mask for his face...

...and a really familiar World War II coat floofing over top of it all.

Jack, what the hell are you doing?

He's up here for a purpose instead of just brooding, for once, as he starts to lightly jump across the rooftops, following someone on ground level. There's a wide, excited smile behind that mask as he leaps the distance of an alley. Dragoon is turning out to be exactly as much fun as it looked.

So, if Biggs wants him to give back in a little service to the city in return for it? Fair's fair. Evil-doers beware.

This same assignment was given to another of the heroes, one that Jack doesn't think that he's met. But he knows more than people might expect about the Pretty Cure, thanks to discussions with Erika. He will definitely be surprised, and maybe dismayed, about the youth of the other Hero assigned to protect the streets.

Jack is perched on the edge of a rooftop, mask off, but hood still up and covering his head. The long Dragoon spear is tucked under one arm, safely away. It looks like he's balanced precariously, but the Job seems to be giving him more athleticism than he's used to.

"Hup! Geh, so heavy..."

Tsubomi wasn't used to this, at all. Even with her drawing on her Custom Job's power, using the Paladin Job and its armor and weaponry was still heavy on her quite-noodley frame. She came to a stop on the rooftop with Jack, the glistening armor of the Paladin and the more cutesy costume of her Cure Blossom self a massive contrast to Jack's dark and brooding outfit.

Of course, from the back, the figure doesn't seem familiar, which puts her on the defensive here. "You are...?"

Jack starts to turn around when he hears someone else up at this altitude. He can't hide his surprise at the girl's appearance, and he slowly reaches up to pull his hood down, give the girl a better look at him, and get a better view of her.

"Captain Jack Harkness." He puts the spear away along his back. "I'm another one of the Heroes of Light." He nods towards her heavy armor. "Paladin?" It's one of his top jobs, one that he doesn't unequip that often.

Tsubomi opened her mouth, then closed it momentarily. How should she introduce herself as. Despite his appearance, he DID say he was a Hero of Light, if that still meant anything... In the end, she figured out it was best not to hide things from others. At least to those she can feel she can trust.

"Tsubomi Hanasaki... Cure Blossom. And yes, I-it's the Paladin Job. I was asked to help watch over this town, so..."

Jack's eyebrows raise at the mention of Cure Blossom. "I've- heard about you." Wait, he should explain. "Ah, I mean, I'm not from your world. But, I talked to someone else who is. And she talked about you. Called you a hero, already, you'd already been doing this saving-the-world business. So, it's an honor to meet you."

Jack means it sincerely. He thinks he has an understanding of the Precure. The idea that power to protect your world could be granted to those who truly have the will.

Jack tries to smile. "Mind working with a partner on this one, then? I promise I can keep up." He taps the chest of his leather jerkin. "Dragoon and Archer."

There's two other people who Tsubomi knows who'd go that far. She'd have to have a talk with Erika again. But, he was a fellow hero and easily seemed nice. Letting out a breath and nodding, she replied. "Sure! I'm used to working with others, so this shouldn't be too hard at all, especially with those jobs!"

Jack breaks into an easy smile. "Good. I wasn't sure if you were used to working alone. I prefer a team anyway."

"You'd think this is an odd combination, but from up here, when I use the basic Archer skill?" Jack's hand briefly glows and he waves it in front of his eyes. Aim. "Now I can see the streets perfectly."

"Would you prefer to head back to street level, though?" Jack gestures towards her heavy Paladin armor.
