[Jack appears on the network. It looks as if he isn't aware he's being filmed at first; he glances around him nervously, his eyes darting from place to place.]

So-- right. You guys don't got no newsies, yeah? But I'm grown outta that business anyway, so I figure, I'll do somethin' else anyway.

[And now he focuses on the camera. His eyes are a little sunken in; his cheekbones jut out sharply from his face. The entire effect is unpleasant; he looks like he hasn't slept or eaten in quite some time. Carefully, each movement deliberate, he takes a cigarette out of his pocket; his gaze focuses on that as he speaks.]

I draw pictures. Real good, if I do say so myself. Do paints, too. You want your picture done? You want your wall painted? Maybe you're in theater, you want some sets done, or maybe you want somebody to put a, a, a mural on your wall. If it's somethin' to do with art, I can do it. I don't give a damn what it is. I'll paint you and your stupid girlfriend if you want, 's long as you pay me. Name's Jack Kelly.

[He nods sharply, once, and lights up the cigarette.]

An' in personal business, a couple thin's: this gun's good an' all, but I'm in the knives business, meself. Anybody sellin' any good blades? I don't mean no stores, all right, I ain't lookin' for no directions to no weapons shops. I'm talkin' about the good stuff, the stuff you get on the streets. I don't got much money yet, but like I said, I got a few skills I can exchange.

An' speakin' o' them: I hear I got some roommates. Miss, uh, Galadriel and some guy named Guy? Well, I ain't gonna be in at all. Not for sleepin', anyway. So don't trouble yourself with that, when you don't see me come in.

[A deliberate pause. He exhales a lungful of smoke and watches it drift upwards before adding:]

Asano Rin. I got a bone to pick with you, and I think you know why.
highhealplz: they look reaaaaaally nice with this coif (smile | i'm wearing slotted pumps)

[ He glances back again, and the smile warms. ]

Then I'm sorry, too. I can say that the pain never quite goes away, but you do learn to live around it.
highhealplz: just to get a cool hat. (talk | so then i ground for 87 hours)

I can do it for others. There are a few restrictions, including how the target died and how long they've been dead, but there's that. And the Initiative's technology can revive Transports, as well.
highhealplz: oh wait i did and it's FUCKING GREAT (angst | should've got safety wall)

It's not under their control. The way it's described, their machine reaches out and fixes on whatever it can grab.

According to who?

[ He's curious, but he'll let that go. ]

Well, apparently there's someone— or something— that disagrees.

Who are my roommates, do you mean?

That depends. Do you know Mahdi or Haruka?
highhealplz: i mean, seriously, that's a whole 500 zeny (consider | walk to izlude or take kafra?)

[personal profile] highhealplz 2013-06-10 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Mahdi might bake the best cookies in Exsilium. But Haruka... [ he shrugs a little. ] You might be lucky to ever see her in person. I'm only half convinced she even exists.
