A.

[For as much as he had been trying to keep the truth about his leg a secret, it didn’t take Jae-Ha long to start regularly soaring through the skies. He’s doing it now, using occasional rooftops as points to bounce up higher again, eyes scanning the ground for anyone suspicious or outright wanted.

That includes, of course, any fugitives.

Anyone might catch him soaring and dropping out of the sky behind those on that list of wanted fugitives, or digging around until he finds particular associates and tries to corner them, as well. Maybe you’re just there as he drops down to look for an associate of the shady man, or maybe you see him corner one right in front of you. Or, maybe you’re a fugitive yourself, and you weren’t expecting a man with green hair to drop out of the sky and land behind you.]

Hey there! [Especially with such a friendly greeting.]

B.

[When he’s not actively chasing down leads, Jae-Ha can be found anywhere. Bars, the streets, flirting with women, shopping at the market… It’s easy to find his leads when surrounded by people, he finds. Today, he’s managed to rent an erhu (or something like it) and is performing a melancholy sounding song on the streets of Olympia.

He might look relaxed, eyes closing from time to time to feel the music, but whether people are donating to him to pay off this rental or not, he’s keeping his ears open for any information. If anyone lingers long enough, he’ll speak up, just wondering if he’s been caught or if the person just happens to be a fan.]

Have I captured your interest?

C. (WILDCARD)

[And of course, Jae-Ha will be all over the place getting into everything, so I’m down for any scenarios anyone wants to set up! If you’d like to work something out like a personalized prompt, please hit me up via PM or zeloser to work something out! I’ll be posting closed prompts in the comments!]

[meinwaifu]

[Oh, he knew it was there. He didn't think Jae-ha invited him out for drinks for his particular company, much as he's been joking otherwise.]

...if you think the only thing I've been doing is apprehending small-time criminals for a few bits of silver, you've sorely underestimated me. For all that my whimsical nature might lead you to assume otherwise, I can assure you, I've been taking this very seriously.

[He's no scientist, no. But he knew information networks, following rumors to their source, and utilizing whatever resources he could get his hands on. He even took up a position in the Institute knowing he'd have the chance to be closest to the source for if and when a cure is found.]

[This was personal for him for more than one reason--]

My younger brother has fallen ill as well, after all.

[razzledazzles]

I'm sorry.

[That he's sick, that he underestimated him? Maybe both.] Then let me change that just slightly. Let's share whatever information we gather with one another. If we do that, we have a better chance, don't we?

With those little devices they gave us, it seems like we can send each other information in no time at all.

[meinwaifu]

[Aside from a soft hm at the apology, he doesn't particularly acknowledge it. He hadn't mentioned it before for a reason, but as long as Jae-ha isn't asking any further, it shouldn't be an issue.]

Those terms sound agreeable enough to me. Ah, but does this mean you come from a world lacking in such technology? It's rather common back in my world.

[He reaches down to start digging out his phone... which is apparently taking more concentration than is should -- honestly, it's like only his body is drunk or something. But soon he pulls out a pink flip phone -- clearly different from the one given by the Natha, and with a rather ridiculous amount of colorful keychains attached to it.]

Shall we exchange contact information, then?

[razzledazzles]

Ah? I have to do that?

[Everyone before has just texted him, but then... his username is Jae-Ha. And he probably showed them his phone thing... Which he is now pulling out of his robe.] How? Where's that? You're right, there's nothing like this where I'm from.

[meinwaifu]

Hahah, but of course! Would you send someone a letter without knowing their address? Digital mail works in much the same way! Or magic mail, in this case.

[He opens his phone and gestures for Jae-ha to do the same, pointing out the right screen to him for finding his username, entering another person's (his is mephychan!), sending a message... how thoughtful!!]

[But no, all of this was a distraction so he could quietly snap a picture of Jae-ha on his own phone and send it to him in a message. u got mail.]

[razzledazzles]

W-when did you—

[That's not his good side!! He stares down at his phone, taking way too long to reply with Could you at least warn me? - Jae-Ha

He's an old man, truly. And a little drunk, so that doesn't help.]

Now, I can just reply to you here each time, right? How did you do that, by the way?

[meinwaifu]

[He snorts back a laugh when he gets Jae-ha's message--] Are you sure you're only 25? You text like a senior citizen.

[Not gonna clarify what he means tho.] Ah, and I just took a quick photo with the selfie camera! There's one located on both sides of the device, you see. And this one is designed specifically for taking self portraits!

[razzledazzles]

I don't know what you mean.

[Leave him alone?? Anyway, he's peering at his phone thing now, turning it this way and that to observe the buttons, and probably taking a couple of photos on accident before he realizes he can see his face on the screen.]

Incredible! [What is this witchcraft??] So this is called a self portrait, then? Or a photo?

[meinwaifu]

It's both, technically! Any picture created with a camera is called a photo.

[Considering he's had to help introduce modern human culture to his fellow demons on many occasions, especially thorough explanations like this aren't unfamiliar to him.]

Ah, but when taken in this manner by oneself, the colloquial term used is "selfie".

[razzledazzles]

I see!

[Despite being a grandpa when it comes to technology, it only takes him a few seconds to become an expert at the selfie. Now he's taking a bunch of himself looking sexy... This is more important than Mephisto's end of the deal?]

[meinwaifu]

[Well, it's not like Mephisto can hold up his end of the deal right now. So he just chuckles as Jae-ha works his selfie game, waiting for the perfect moment...]

[Aaand he photobombs.]

[razzledazzles]

You ruined that one.

[Except he's not going to delete it... He does know how, despite his elderly self.] How can you manage that when you can barely stand?

[meinwaifu]

Hmm? Because I'm not standing, of course!

[...]

[He's floating. Not very high, of course! But. Definitely floating behind Jae-ha.]

[razzledazzles]

Stop that, you're drawing attention to yourself. [He's just going to reach back and try to... push him lower.]

[meinwaifu]

Fufu, does that matter? I'm going to draw attention to myself either way!

[He'll be pushed back to earth though! Sitting back in his chair and swaaaying a little bit. Those drinks are just hitting him more and more tbh.]

Ah, unless of course-- feeling a bit shy? Strange, I didn't think you'd be the sort to shrink away from the attention of others!

[razzledazzles]

Hmm? Why is that? I only want positive attention, and I'm actually something of a loner.

[He is such a liar... Anyway, he pulls Mephisto's swaying a little closer.] Ahh, I really did go a little too far with all of this... I'm starting to feel it myself.

[meinwaifu]

Ohh? Giving in so soon?

[SAYS THE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DRUNK ONE]

[razzledazzles]

[He's draping his arm over his shoulder, leaning against him about as much as he's pulling him closer.]

You can't say anything like that when you were the first one long gone. You can't walk home like this.

[meinwaifu]

[Oh my, such closeness!! And yet despite his swaying, Mephisto doesn't directly lean back against him, letting Jae-ha take care of all that.]

Ah, I suppose not! Why, I might not even be able to find my home at this rate.

[Nnnnah, give him 20 or 30 minutes and he'll actually be sober again. And even then, all he's really gotta do is teleport to a nice spot to relax until sun-up.]

[razzledazzles]

I can't carry you home like this, either.

[He's feeling too good, he knows he won't have the proper control over his leg. It could end badly. He gives Mephisto a tiny little shake.] We may have to find a hotel.

[meinwaifu]

Ahh, no, I imagine that would end rather poorly!

[And it would be forever known as the drunken pogostick-dragon incident--]

...for you at least. I'd probably be fine.

[Just look how much ur boyfriend cares.]

[razzledazzles]

[Jae-Ha clicks his tongue like he's annoyed, but not too annoyed, letting his arm drop away from Mephisto so he can lean forward over the table, instead. He might as well enjoy this pretty drink a little more.]

You'd leave me like that? You really are cruel.

[meinwaifu]

Fufu, but would you have it any other way? You seemed to rather enjoy that side of me last time!

[u masochist]

[razzledazzles]

Haha, that's completely different! What I like is the inflicted pain, especially from someone strong like you.

[For horrible reasons he doesn't think about, but that's fine.] If I harm myself, it's not pleasurable at all.

[meinwaifu]

[Pls love urself, Jae-ha...]

My, it seems the two of us are quite the match.

[Aaand now's clearly the time for throwing subtly out the window. He leans in closer, reaching out his hand and gently running his fingertips under Jae-ha's chin. ven through his gloves, he should be able to feel the pointed ends of those nails of his.]

Now then... shall we take this somewhere more private? And then you can tell me all about just what sort of pleasurable things you'd enjoy from someone like me.
