[ 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

[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?

To this man

[pacificate]

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

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. ]

Dictated

[helljumper]

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

I forgot how friendly you were.

[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]

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.

to this man

[deminuit]

[ he arches his brow at the journal. ]

Which end are you used to being on?

dictated;

[goldencirclet]

...why are you hurting people?

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. ]

yes that!!

[deminuit]

[ rookehhh. he never forgets a voice. ]

I'm nothing if not consistent.

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.

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.

dictated;

[deminuit]

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

his answer is a simple one. ]

Those people were bad.

[goldencirclet]

How were they bad?

[Worried, here.]

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?

[deminuit]

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

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

[goldencirclet]

Oh.

...doesn't that make you bad too, if you hurt them?

:'(

[amiable]

[ It's always the dudes in the trench coats freaking her out.

Her head tilts, like she's trying to comprehend the question until her gaze falls to the bags in her hands. She blinks, now returning to reality. ]

I ran out of some things!

[ Whoever it is writhing in pain is really distracting her. ]

W-Who's there?

fffff

[deminuit]

[ he throws an irritated glance behind him. shut up, already. the thug raises his voice a little, but the midnighter talks over him. ]

No one important. Come on, you should get out of here.

1/2

[amiable]

[ UNSUREUNSUREUNSUREUNSURE... ]

[deminuit]

No. It makes me the person who stopped them.

[amiable]

D-Did you beat up someone from the town?!

[deminuit]

[ he nods his head towards a more lighted area. ]

No answers yet. Come on.

[goldencirclet]

Oh, okay.

[amiable]

We can't just leave someone out here! [ Actually, she doesn't really know how this works. She's never walked in on the middle of vigilante business. ]
