He Who Sees E's
J(eremy)
J had been enjoying his day so far, having departed into the bustling city of London to see the sights, taste the delicacies and maybe sniff out a clue or five on what was going on. In between hopping between various local hotspots, and various tourist attractions, he gradually figured out some of the more lively areas at night, and the general residential areas around them. Already he had gotten the info, as well as invitations, for no less than three house parties, four clubs, and a costume gala, the last one especially surprising him. Given all that though, he found himself pretty confident in his choice of current stake out position as night fell, eyes glinting in the low lights as he perched himself on the edge of a roof, gazing expectantly at the overarching area he internally proclaimed to be his current hunting grounds.
Suddenly, he perked up, faintly feeling that Rue had awoken. Taking one last glance around and noting that, not only was there no ominous fog, there was also an unexpectedly large amount of foot traffic for an area that fit the criteria of the usual hunting spots. With a hum, J quickly departed, crossing rooftops towards the general direction he felt Rue was going. He knew that she'd set a different area for their rendezvous spot, and given that wasn't the direction she was currently heading, meant that she had either found something, or was pulling a loose cannon move more befitting of him than her. Honestly, J felt a little proud about the influence he had on her, and his grin widened at the thought. Still, he continued on his way at a fairly leisurely pace, until he felt a jolt of shock and a modicum of fear surging through his connection with Rue, resulting in him pausing and standing stock still for a moment as he zeroed in at where exactly she was, eyes glimmering darkly.
If anyone had been gazing at the rooftop that J was standing on, one moment they'd see his figure standing there, and then within the span of a blink, he'd be gone, as if he was a specter that never existed in the first place.
For all the confidence that J had in Rue and her capabilities, he never thought she'd go out of her way to jump head first into the lion's den without him at least tangentially nearby. Well no, that was a lie. He very well knew that she was fully capable and willing to do such a thing, but he thought she also knew better than to tempt fate. Or maybe she was just confident that no matter what kind of situation she found herself in, he'd be inevitably right around the corner to clean it up and make sure she got out of it fine. Something to think about for later, he supposed.
Soon stepping out of the shadows of the tunnel, J stared blankly at the ice statue of the vampire-esque figure, his smile gaining a quizzical tinge to it that quickly shifted to dark amusement. Skipping over to the statue, he knocked on it a few times, and giggled in delight when he found that it wasn't frozen all the way through, just a strong outer layer. Peeking at the open maw, J hummed to himself and rubbed his chin as if contemplating something, before nodding to himself and reaching out to grab the frozen statue by the neck. At first nothing happened, but as his grip tightened and sparks of wavelength ran along the the ice, cracks started to form, and then in an explosion of noise in the quiet tunnel, the frozen man was freed in one sense of the word, but trapped in a whole 'nother one.
Cackling in delight as the man struggled in his grip, arms swinging weakly at him in an attempt to free himself as he snapped his jaw and hissed, J just tightened his grasp and sent a surge of his wavelength into the man, causing him to suddenly scream out in agony. "Hahaha, hoooo buddy, Ruey left me quite tha present, lemme tell ya! Never expected her ta leave me a whoooooole bloodsucker ta play with! Oh, but if only I had more time for ya... Hmm..." As he spoke, J continued to assault the man with his wavelength, and as he did so, the figures struggles continued to get weaker and weaker until soon enough he was limp in the multi-colored boy's grasp, still breathing and conscious, but clearly out of it. Snapping as if he was struck with an ingenious idea, J smiled broadly at his captive. "I know! I'll drag ya along for tha ride! Yeah, yeah! I still a whooooole ton a' questions ya gotta answer fer me on ya an' yer crew, an' ya won't cause me any problems, will ya?" Seeing the weak, barely coherent nod from the vampire-like figure, J exclaimed a delighted, "Great!" and took off in the direction he felt Rue heading towards, quite literally dragging along the captured fellow by the neck.
On his way over, J heard a hoarse scream echoing down the empty tunnels, and immediately knew what made Rue leave a perfectly good combatant and source of information behind, what with her bleeding heart and desire to help others. Shaking his head in fond amusement, J blitzed forward, determined to catch up with Rue before she made it to the source of the scream.
