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.

"You would have very long business cards." Yuffie grinned at him.

She laughed at his gesture but looped her arm through his anyway. She might have exaggerated the motion a little too much but she doesn't care. "With you? Anywhere." Her tone was light and teasing.

"The question is..." Her grin pulled a little wider. "You think you can keep up?"

This. This is what Jack has been needing. He laughs along, and winks at Yuffie. "There's more than one way to find out." Teasing right back, he'll keep this casual.

His other arm reaches out to point towards the south part of the city. "I was headed that way. Well, really, because there's some good roofs to explore over there. But if anything's happening, it'll be further from the center of town."

He's interested to see how Yuffie is going to traverse the rooftops, since he's never picked up Ninja or Thief or any of the more agile jobs, before this.

Yuffie slipped from his arm with her grin still in place. Their current perch didn't afford a great pathway to where they were heading and Yuffie is going to remedy that. She turns around as if to flash her stunning smile at Jack and then vanishes in a puff of dark purple smoke. She reappears on the rooftop across the street, her feet easily walking the rooftops edge as she calls over to Jack.

"Hurry up slowpoke!"

She turned and made her way to the next rooftop. Yuffie has done this a lot and she moves with the skill of someone who's used to traversing through thick treetops. Her legs push up off the ground and she easily twists her weight, landing lightly on the next building.

She'll have to pick up some speed if Jack wants to see her truly impressive moves but she also doesn't want to leave him behind.
