[ the journal falls open to the midnighter's voice, low and growling. ]

--othing better to do with my time, so I actually might check up on you in a few days. Or weeks. Or months. And believe me, if you think a broken leg and a couple of cracked ribs is anything to cry over, wait until you see what I do to--

[ he pauses. and squints. the sound of someone whimpering faintly in the background can be heard before the journal is picked up. ]

Fucking thing.

[ and he shuts it.

after finishing his conversation with he pleasant townsperson, the midnighter is off again. the night is still young, and he's sure to find something else to do or someone else to hit in this tiny godforsaken city. he's all over; on rooftops, in alleyways, in a bar for a short while... who wants to run into a vigilante on the job? ]


[ ooc; open post! we'll assume that any replies over he journal are coming like, hours later, when he's back at the castle. feel free to run into him anyway in the city royale, doing anything: beating up a random thug or sitting on a rooftop or whatever. ]

action; /takes all the tags

[solar_absorber]

[Apollo is crouched down on a nearby roof, looking down on the scene. He watches silently, enjoying seeing Midnighter in action even though it's up against a less then threatening opponent. When it's over and Midnighter starts moving to leave, Apollo slowly stands up, purposely making noise.]

Exciting night?

YEEEEEEEEEEEE

[deminuit]

[ like he didn't know you were there, sweetheart. he leaves the would-be rapist slumped on the ground, and quickly makes his way up to the roof. ]

Hardly.

[solar_absorber]

[He walks over towards Midnighter and wraps his arms around his shoulders.]

Kind of takes you back to our years on the run, huh? Thieves, rapists, and drug dealers. It's hard to go back to dealing with small fry after the things we've faced. [Hard for you in particular, is implied but left unsaid.]

[deminuit]

[ he closes his eyes, and leans into it briefly. it's true; god knows he's tired of going easy on the petty criminals in this city. ]

That may be. But it needs to be done, so I do it.

[solar_absorber]

[He smiles softly.]

How about you take the rest of the night off? It's been pretty quiet.

To this man

[pacificate]

[ A chuckle. ] Doesn't that sound familiar.

to this man

[deminuit]

[ he arches his brow at the journal. ]

Which end are you used to being on?

action??

[amiable]

[ Because Uru was probably on her way back home after a quick run to the store to get food and is hearing... things that are creeping her out!!

So she stops halfway down the sidewalk, looking around. ]

action c:

[deminuit]

[ the creepy sound was probably the unpleasant crack of someone's arm breaking, and the snivelling that comes after.

seconds later, the midnighter walks out of the alleyway, and his eyes immediately fall on uru. ]

midnighter why you gotta be so scary

[amiable]

[ She doesn't budge an inch, rooted to the spot. Even when she realizes it's Midnighter, she can't stop her heart from racing. What the hell did he just do. ]

O-Oh! It's... you.

oops ;;

[deminuit]

[ inwardly, he sighs a little, and slings his nightstick over his shoulder. he knows what he looks like. just ignore the sounds coming from the alley, uru. ]

It's me. It's also pretty late. [ he eyes her bags. ] Late night snack?

Dictated

[helljumper]

[Oh wait hey, that voice. He knows that voice. Sup, masked man.]

I forgot how friendly you were.

yes that!!

[deminuit]

[ rookehhh. he never forgets a voice. ]

I'm nothing if not consistent.

:3

[helljumper]

Not a bad trait to have, but I don't think your new friend is going to appreciate it.

[Then a considering pause, before he'll mentally shrug and continue.] What exactly did he do, anyway?

[deminuit]

[ truthfully: ] Nothing. He didn't get the chance.

[optimystic]

[guess who stayed out at her favorite burger place for way too long? Aaaaand it's now late at night, boo. But the fun part of that is, Maya gets to enjoy walking home in the dark with the mostly empty streets of the city.

And what's a girl to do when she has city streets all to herself?

Stop by the fountain, take off her shoes, and splash around in in for a while :3 she might not spot patrolling vigilante justice right away, but he can notice her... being dumb asdgah]

yeee

[deminuit]

[ osusoifu maya.

he does indeed notice her, from the darkness of an alleyway. he would just go on his merry way, but he did just catch two would be muggers around this area... it's not the safest place, at the moment.

he approaches. ]

You'll probably give yourself a cold.

[optimystic]

[asdlkgha;ldsh! she jumps when she hears a sudden voice, and turns around to see.......

A SUPERHERO asdghasld;gh????]

Don't worry, I'm immune to colds! [sadlgkhasd *^*] And enough about me, who are you? Are you a superhero?

[deminuit]

Enough about you? You said six words about you. [ /DEFLECTS, and he walks closer. ] Aren't you a little old for this?

dictated;

[goldencirclet]

...why are you hurting people?

dictated;

[deminuit]

[ ......... goku no ;a;

his answer is a simple one. ]

Those people were bad.

[goldencirclet]

How were they bad?

[Worried, here.]

[deminuit]

[ well, the midnighter won't lie to him. ]

They could have been worse. But they tried to hurt people.

maybe just ... pretend this isn't here? fff

[spiritusaequitas]

[well, now, THAT'S certainly gotten his attention. he marks the page for later, to see if he can't figure out who it might be]

aaaaaand done. ;D

[deminuit]

[ stalk away, mr. macmanus. ]
