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

[theendiswherewestartfrom]

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.

Although he has the skills to traverse the rooftops, Jack isn't used to being followed up here, so he doesn't spot Kidd's approach. Besides, he's far too caught up in the thrill of what he can do now. Dragoon, as it turns out, is fun.

He pauses on a familiar rooftop, one that he has been to before, towards the edge of the city. There's fewer people on the streets out here, and he seems to be watching someone in particular. He stops, casts the Archer skill Aim, increasing his eyesight acuity.

He waits for minutes, trying to keep himself hidden by a smokestack, watching movement on the street level. If Kidd stops watching Jack, and keeps an eye out for what he's looking at, there is definitely someone inside that butcher's shop, but all the lights are off.

The rooftop is familiar to Kidd as well, having spent a good deal of time running around the rooftops ever since her arrival. The best way to learn the layout of a place is to see it from above. While this part of town isn't a particularly crime ridden one, it is far away from the main drags and the prying eyes and that means softer targets.

The hooded man is suspicious, but Kidd finds herself torn in observing him. On the one hand she can't quite judge anyone for using a hood while sneaking around the rooftops, and for all she knows he could be something much like her own brothers for this world. On the other hand it remains suspicious nonetheless.

Keeping an eye on him, she also watches the streets below, trying to see what he might be targeting or waiting for. She catches the movement a few seconds after he does, alert but lacking the powers enhancing his vision. A smile creeps across her face as the pieces fall into place.

It looks like this is about to get interesting.
