LAWYER I ► devil's avocado...vate..

[Things are getting heated up in both Olympia and Wyver as the month goes on. Matt's been going back and forth between the two (and getting met with more and more contention), and can be found amongst each respective populace, usually in the middle of debates]

[And by middle of debates, I mean he's trying to mediate them. Rather than take one side or the other, Matt speaks passionately about keeping the peace (getting booed in the process), holding up the truce, and for Wyver and Olympia to trust each other. He's met with a lot of arguing from both sides, usually ganging up on him, and things get a little more heated from the populace's end as he insists that despite each faction's flaws and misgivings, the only way to work through it is together. The crowd's against him, but--- somehow, despite being blind, he notices your presence, a fellow refugee. Whether you're actively part of the belief or just passing by and have no desire to be roped into it, Matt calls out towards you in a loud, clear, voice:]

Excuse me! [Probably, he heard you walking or talking. Either way, he's dragging you into it] What do you think? Do you live here?

LAWYER II ► just like highschool debate;

[In Wyver, it looks like the debates are reaching the point of loud altercations and outright fisticuffs, especially to refugees who favor Olympia or any sort of Olympia defenders. And Matt, like usual, is in the thick of it. This time, though, his attempts to placate are doing nothing but riling up Wyvernians further, and when a passing Olympian and Wyvernian get into actual fist fight, the blind man, idiot that he is, tries to get in the thick of it]

Hold on, there's no need to--

[This doesn't work out so great for him. At once, one of the debaters is shoving aside, ripping away his cane. Matt can't exactly break out the Daredevil skillset in such a densely populated spot, so he's basically forced to take the hit -- he tries again to calm them down, and gets kicked and shoved to the ground for his trouble]

[You've got the bad -- or good, maybe -- luck of passing through around this time, and the pair of dark glasses clatter next to your feet while the cane rolls off to the side of you. And apparently, beating up a blind man was a perfect way to vent their frustrations, as they return to arguing while Matt fumbles on the ground for his things]

I'm so sorry --- [People keep walking by, not really caring that he's struggling on the ground and just stepping around him] Have you seen my glasses?

[You could help, or not.]

DAREDEVIL I ► more like daredumbass;

[In the open world, people are struggling in their own rights. Sure, they may not be facing Olympian or Wyvernian prejudice, in a sense, but they're open to attack in more than one sense and some of them are really struggling. So, a man in black scouts out, guiding the families, fending off attackers -- searching for medical supplies. You can catch him in the act in any of these scenarios and help or hinder him, or maybe you're out here for your own reasons and want nothing to do with this masked weirdo.]

[Regardless, the hostile wildlife chitters and shuffles around in the night, and a pack of Vlix see you and mark you as easy prey. Whether or not you need the help, this douchebag will suddenly flip in, punching one square in the beak then flipping it over to another one. He growls at you in what sounds like a bad Batman impression:]

It isn't safe. Get back to one of the cities.

DAREDEVIL II ► electric boogaloo;

[If you venture to the Edrathe Ruins, mount or no mount, you may notice you're not alone. A masked man in all black is making his way in, no torch, no nothing. How can he see? It's a mystery.]

[He seems to notice your presence just fine, on the other hand, as he holds up a hand to gesture for you to be quiet, as the faint rumbling starts up.]

Do you hear that? It's further away every time it starts.

[How spooky.]

WILDCARD;

[Matt will be around the openlands, Wyver, and Olympia as himself and also as Daredevil, trying to keep the peace and help people! If none of these prompts work for you OR if you want to do a quests, hit me up by PM and I can write you a custom starter!! I love quests]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Majima dressed for the dark himself. His old dress pants aren't exactly stealth ready, but paired with the black shirt he wore, he blends in pretty easily with the night. The cherry tip of his cigarette blows that cover, but they aren't exactly in danger yet.

He scoffs as Matt moves forward and picks up his pace to match him. Fine-- he can focus.]

So how many weapons deals have you sat in on? Without breakin' it up.

[It's the most revealing hint about his background he's dropped since he woke up here, and he offers it as a loaded sort of olive branch. He didn't intend to find out Matt went out and beat people up at night; he may as well volunteer a few secrets of his own.]

None. [It's honest. It's part of the reason he wanted Majima along --- he could tell the other man had expertise. Inside information Matt wouldn't]

But I'm guessing you have more experience than I do.

[He doesn't sound accusatory, at least] And I want to make sure they're going into the right hands. You agree, don't you?

[Or, at least, he seems to believe Majima does]

Hey, now what gave you that idea? Not a brain fever this time, I hope.

[Majima scoffs. First lawyer he's met that wasn't crooked, then. Or did being a vigilante count as crooked?]

I've run security a few times. It's up to the bosses to do all the dick wavin'.

[He takes a long drag on his cigarette. The only time he ever bought guns himself ended poorly, and he never even fired a shot.]

Surprised you think there's any right hands at all. [Or that Majima has the right to discern them.] But yeah. The Cage is shady as fuck, but they ain't dumb enough to start a war.

You seem like you have more experience than I do. [That's all he really gives on that front. How mysterious]

[But, on the topic of right or wrong hands:]

There isn't. But I think actually destroying the weapons on this job wouldn't end well for anyone. And it's not like destroying a handful of guns will stop the mass production or the crime.

[But yeah--- he agrees on that front] The Cage is anti-war. That's enough for now. Tell me more about what you've seen while we head there.

[Majima snorts.]

Don't gotta be so cagey with the guy who saved you from fallin' in the toilet.

[As for the matter at hand, he grunts softly.]

The explosion wouldn't be too subtle, either. Though I'm guessin' they've got swords and shit like that here, too. People only had them as decoration back home.

[Not that it always stayed that way. The knife in his pocket is proof of that.]

Dunno what to tell you. I was yakuza. They don't leave Japan for much.
