[This post appears to be accidental...since Jackie is lounging out a little ways away from his comm. Around him you can spot a few strange imps, also lounging around. They're in the middle of a conversation....]

...nother year older, huh, boss?

Gotta tell ya. We weren't sure you'd make it!

Yeah, that's right. So pay up, Moe.

{A snicker from the pirate. Curious, those things. Your darkness powers intrigue him.}

You're getting old Jackie.

[theforceoncrack]

[ /wiggles eyebrows]

I know. 's horrible. Twenty-seven.

[dontcallmegol]

{You sly devil you, such a flirt~♥}

S'not so bad, most pirates are lucky to see that age. {We all know Ace was lucky enough to reach 21 here in the Disco.}

[theforceoncrack]

[SDKGGSJKG WGKTREHK YTDLGSBTHKJSAJFMMFKSD]

Yeah. Most mobsters, too.

[dontcallmegol]

{ 8) I love it when you do that. So hot bb~ Nnngh~ }

Well, happy birthday in any case.

Y'know, one of these days you should introduce me to your little friends Jackie. {As much as he was uncertain about Jackie's powers, it made him all the more curious. He wanted to learn about this 'darkness'. All the better to know how to fight it should he have to. He promised after all didn't he? A flame, a flicker of light in the darkness.}

[ /BEATS]

Thanks, Ace.

You wanna meet them, huh? [He remembers too. Seems like a long time ago. But....]

Sounds like I'm putting on a show for GG tonight, if you wanna come along.

[dontcallmegol]

{I came.}

Yeah, I've only seen glimpses of'em over this thing. Hell, I don't think I've seen what you can do with that Darkness of yours Jackie. Not through a proper demonstration. {Cause he does remember you restraining him during the chip madness.}

GG? Sounds great.

[theforceoncrack]

Well, the list is pretty extensive, actually...providing I got off my ass and stopped being a lazy bum about it -

That's what I'm talking about, boss!

We ain't had real fun in -

[Jackie turns the feed off before they can continue. Ha ha.]

[dontcallmegol]

I've got a jist of what it could be capable of at least. But seeing it in action is something else.

{He pauses to listen to your boys and snickers some as you cut them off.}

I look forward to it.

[theforceoncrack]

[After the Darklings have shut up he turns it back on.]

See you after dark?

[dontcallmegol]

Absolutely.

((OOC: Commentlog? even if it's incredibly backdated??))

COMMENTLOG!

[theforceoncrack]

[INDEED IT IS A COMMENTLOG. AFTER DARK IN THE BACK OF HORTON, JACKIE AWAITS! His face is just barely lit with the glow from a cigarette. And there's something weird going on in the shadows around him.]

COMMENTLOG!

[dontcallmegol]

{Ace walked around the Horton building nonchalantly, hands shoved deep in his pockets. This setting didn't seem to raise any flags for him, even if it should. He sauntered through the shadow toward that dimly lit face, smirking softly and eying the darkness around the man. He may appear calm, but he was alert, knowing damn well what toying with darkness was like. He learned his lesson once. But Jackie was his friend, he trusted his control.

Just a raise of his hand.} Yo.

COMMENTLOG!

[theforceoncrack]

[They're the sort of people who look relaxed even when they're walking into a gunfight. It's a talent that mobsters and pirates share, apparently. Jackie lets out a long drag of smoke.]

Hey, kid. [His eyes slide just a bit to the left, where there may or may not be more eyes peeking out at them from the gloom. They wink out. Back to Ace.]

Seem to remember you seeing some of this already.

COMMENTLOG!

[dontcallmegol]

Mn, to an extent. Can't really say I got a good look at your abilities considering I really wasn't of right mind for it.

{He paused a few paces from the man, keeping himself in the lamp light and tilting his head slightly as those beady little eyes seemed to wink out. Hiding are we?}

I never told you why I was so fascinated with your powers did I?

COMMENTLOG!

[theforceoncrack]

Because I'm a fascinating guy?

[he is not gay. seriously.]
