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.

For Tsubomi

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.

Sparks knows suspicious behavior when he sees it. And it wouldn't be unlike Biggs to hold out the information from Sparks that he's assigned some Heroes into trailing some criminals. Those two never really got along. So, when he spots a shadowy figure trailing someone - an armored, armed figure - he decides to cut that figure off at the pass. Suddenly, between Jack and the next roof is a marshal on his rocket steed.

He narrowed his eyes at the figure, trying to figure out who it was.

"So. Hi there."

Action

Yuffie enjoyed hanging out on roof tops in the middle of the night. Tonight she was just eating a snack with her legs dangling off the side of the building. Her eyes glanced around when she saw a shadow jump towards her, her expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion.

“What the hell are you doing?”

It was really obvious who it was, even if Yuffie didn’t know Jack all that well….

Here is one person who does not recognize Jack from the start. Ramza is on street level, on the night patrol, when he spots the dark figure leaping from roof to roof. He guesses it is not one of Kidd's assassins; they rarely allow themselves to be spotted.

It is tricky, keeping up with the rapidly moving mystery person, while trying to find a way up to the roof. Ramza does not have the aid of job skills, so he runs along on the ground level until he finds a low enough building with a high enough stack of crates for him to use.

When he finally makes it to the roof, his heart is beating a little fast and his breaths come in quiet pants.

"Halt!" he cries out, in his best police voice. Who knows, maybe one day, it will actually even work.

Jack wasn't the only one on the rooftop. It had long been the domain of the city's Assassins, not to mention anyone who happened to be working on their ninja jobs. In this case, Kidd was back in tune with that job again for the first time in months. Illusionist still needed work but it felt good to have her physical skills amplified again.

However, while the rooftops were no stranger to Heroic foot traffic, the mask that he was wearing set off signals in her mind as he skulked around. The coat certainly looked familiar but she didn't want to take any chances. Between her two jobs she was able to keep pace with Jack, even with his long leaps, and she was able to do so with far more stealth besides.

And if it looked like he was up to no good she would be ready to intercept him.
