Perfect. He was just what Akabane was looking for: fresh meat. With his ever-present smile, the taller man strolled up to the newcomer, voice quizzical and polite as he spoke.

"You seem to be rather agitated. Is there a problem I could assist you with?"

[cutswitha_j]

"Oh?" That definitely peaked his interest. "I have encountered a few recovery services in my line of work, although I have never come across you before."

[jaganjackass]

"Could say the same for you," was the short reply. "What's your name?" Though he'd run across transporters while on the job as well, Ban couldn't remember running into this guy - though something at the back of his mind said he might have heard of him.

Akabane paused and turned around. If he was going to introduce himself, he might as well do it properly rather than with his back facing the man.

"My name is Kuroudo Akabane, although my coworkers refer to me more by my nickname, Doctor Jackal."

[jaganjackass]

"Heh. So you're Jackal." It made sense - Ban had heard the name and reputation before, but never seen the man for himself. He nodded, seemingly unimpressed. "You've got quite the rep."

[cutswitha_j]

"Oh?" Akabane lifted a hand to tilt the brim of his fedora up, eyes cracked open. "I must say I'm quite honored. I didn't expect for others to know me here."

[jaganjackass]

"Small world." He motioned down the hall. "How much further till we hit the shop?"

[cutswitha_j]

"Indeed." Giving Ban another look, Akabane turned and and continued down the hallway. "It shall not be too much longer."

[jaganjackass]

Silence. Then. "How many people did you off before you got caught?"

[cutswitha_j]

"I wonder..." Akabane hummed to himself. "There have been so many opponents I have cut down that I have lost count. And what of yourself? As a retriever, surely you must have had your own series of encounters."

[jaganjackass]

"I did. But that wasn't what got me thrown in here - not initially, anyway. And I didn't kill anyone on the job."

[cutswitha_j]

"Then what was it? Ah, but how absentminded of me. I should be asking for your name before I inquire as to your crimes."

[jaganjackass]

A raised eyebrow. "Ban Midou. Three different charges. Only two related to work."

[cutswitha_j]

"Oh? If the murder charge was the only one not related to work, I can only imagine what crimes you did perform on the job."
