Sky Sector Catch-All: May

[wrathfulkhan]

Characters: Everyone!
Date: Throughout May
Location: The brand spanking new Sky Sector
Situation: Moving in, getting settled...housewarming parties?
Warnings/Rating: None anticipated. Please don't blow the new houses up. We just built them!

The Palace of Landed Sky has been largely demolished, and a good section of the land has been repurposed as Foreigner housing, should they choose to move into the new dwellings. But there's not just housing - there are shops and artisans and a space that may become part of the university. The new sector of the city is abuzz with possibilities.

"Rebellion," Jackie repeated, looking at the sword. He was a little surprised when Vergil offered him the hilt, and, feeling a little foolish, like this was a trap, he grasped it.

Wow. Heavy sword. "This thing ain't light," he said with a laugh, trying to heft it. He wasn't any huge weakling, but he was unused to wielding a weapon like that - or really, anything bigger than a knife.

[walkthedarkpath]

"Yes." he didn't offer an explaination of the name. The joke of his father was the great rebel of the demon world. Or even that he is a demon himself. This was a first meeting after all. Showing another guy your sword was taboo enough.

"A claymore is never light. You grow used to the weight in time." He spoke, waiting for Jackie to hand it back. He was out of touch again, and as much as he would deny it. It as nice to talk to someone.

[jinzhong]

Jackie wasn't going to try and keep wielding it, as cool as it was; the claymore was heavy, way heavier than swords looked in movies.

"Thanks, man, that's really cool," he said, passing the sword back to Vergil. "I'm not gonna try and get used to the weight today, though."

[walkthedarkpath]

Taking the sword back, Vergil placed it back down with ease. Turning back, to lead Jackie out.

"If you are ever curious to learn to use a sword and come across one, I could teach you proper technique."

He offered opening the door again.

[jinzhong]

"Heh. Maybe I'll take you up on that," Jackie said, following Vergil to the door.

"See you later, I guess."

[walkthedarkpath]

"I would not object to that. Before you go." He spoke once the door was open, one hand holding it open. "Where are you from originally?" Vergil was curious not only of his voice, but if the worlds for everyone originally had places that were the same.

"Huh? Old Prosperity," Jackie said, before catching himself when he realized most people wouldn't know what that meant. "Hong Kong. Comin' to Keeliai was the first time I'd ever left."

[walkthedarkpath]

"Interesting, I have never heard it called that before. Hong Kong yes, but not Old Prosperity."

He leaned in the doorway now. "I'm a bit curious as to the realities of the worlds we all hail from if your curious of me asking."

[jinzhong]

"It was the project I grew up in, in North Point. Back where I'm from, just 'Old Prosperity' was all I needed to say, heh," Jackie said. "You ever been? To Hong Kong, I mean."

[walkthedarkpath]

"In passing yes, I traveled often to trace the trail of my father. It's a long story. But yes, I have passed through. It seems over crowded but all in all a city one could find adventure in." He spoke looking at Jackie, as if resizing him up after the word 'project'.

[jinzhong]

Hey, man, don't go ragging on him just 'cause he's from the projects.

"I never wanted to leave. Didn't think I needed to see anything else, you know? Though I guess it would have been nice to visit Wei in America," he admitted.

[walkthedarkpath]

Nope, for once he's not. Its less judging and more impressed. Projects kids tend to be a tougher breed.

"It is always good to travel." He spoke before adding. "The sense of home is always important but traveling expands ones view. Shows you things a closed mind could not have. Thats just an idle observation."

[jinzhong]

Jackie snorted a little, smirking. "Yeah, well. I'm a pretty long way from Old Prosperity now, huh?" Keeliai was similar, and yet so different than the world that he'd known. He wasn't quite sure which he liked better, in point of fact. He missed home still, a lot, but home hadn't quite been home since Winston's disastrous wedding. Then things had really started to go down the tubes.

If he could have the option to go back now, he was pretty sure he wouldn't.

[walkthedarkpath]

"A fine point." He spoke shaking his head in amusement. "Some time you should tell me about Hong Kong. I would like to hear about it from someone who knows the city." He stepped out closing the door. Hes still gotta go back to the water district for more.

[jinzhong]

"Yeah, totally, man, anytime," he said. "I'm in the Midnight Hotel a lot, so if you wanna find me, ask Anton. He knows where I'm at."
