Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-33426474-20171203201002/@comment-30014014-20171203223654

So, Jaden, holding his bag over his shoulder, a heavy one at that, stares motionlessly at the imps giving eyes to Timmy, the poor lad terrified out of his mind. His stare drifts from the pair to the devil, too busy puffing her cheeks in a poutting display to notice the tired man's gaze. Only the demon, clad in a somewhat modest attire paid attention to his watch, the same watch turning over to her.

Looking into his eyes, she could gather exactly what he was to say.

"Tsss...I'm too tired to deal with this. Whatever mess you got in, Timmy, you're on your own this time. I'm going to bed".

Timmy's eyes widen with terror, desperately trying to utter the S.O.S.. The devil and imp, dumbfounded at Jaden's words are left without retort, wandering what kind of day must have spoiled him to this point. Once again, only the demon seemed to 'understand'. Regardless, he walks just as she gets up, follwing with cautious steps as he vanishes in a corner of the house.

She turns to the same corner, seeing a far door slightly opened. Pushing it slowly to gain access, she sees the man hunched down on his black bag, taking out scores of munitions, a semi-automatic, a bullet-proof, a gas mask, a helmet and a I.D card, all of which he proceeds to stack around his room.

Seemingly out of nowhere, she phases in, sitting on his bed, directly in his line of sight, holding his disassembled rifle.

"Not even a spot on this weapon. You sure know how to keep your things maintained".

Jaden continues to take his things away, even the weapon from her hands with a blank gaze. Obviously the man was too tired to bother reacting as a blue-honred demon sat mere centimeters from him.

"If you want to do anything with me, get it over with. Otherwise, get off, I'm going to sleep".

The demon puts her chin on her fist, pondering. He did give her the right to do whatever, which was her intention, but what would be the fun in aggravating someone who she wanted to share a life with. No, that would be detrimental in the long run. Instead...

"So tell me, how goes your hunt for the Night Stalker?"

The man stops packing his things. That phrase certainly struck a cord in him. Too bad he quickly resumes his affair after but a few seconds.

"If you have to ask me that, then you know the anser to that".

"I see. DIdn't think you of all people would have such a hard time getting a grasp on your bounty..."

She stops speaking as he had finished already, putting a sheet on himself on his bed, ready to sleep. Weight presses on his waist over the sheets, with the same demon sitting on him, making sure he'd see her. Cue in the blank stare.

"The fact that you take so long to do anything with me is telling me you're not here for that, so move over".

"Oh no, this is what I and they are in for, especially after your friend in the living room kept boasting how strong you are. But, I would rather get to know the man I'll be spending time with, I have a proposition".

Jaden sighs. Trying to speak his way out of a demon's grasp, as he knew, was borerline impossible. He'd take it if it meant he could sleep already, rather than risk a night of debate.

"Fine".

"That man you're searchign for, he seems to be giving you and your teammates no end of trouble. It's saddening to see the life squeezed out of you as you waste away your free time trying to get a lead on that individual. So, here's my proposition: I go out and get my hands on this man".

"Ok, what's the cost to me?"

The demon feints a outrage, though a corner of her eyes display genuine disbelief at his choice of words Times had changed, but the perception of certain monsters had yet to be buried to the past.

"Well, you see, I live next state to this one. Since we'll be getting to know each other better, I'd prefer not having to get my gals all the way back. Believe it or not, we also dislike 10-hour trips".

Jaden expresses serious doubts about her getting this man out of his hiding spot, but this idn't look like a gamble with too much to lose. After all, if she wanted to do the dirty with him, she'd have already done it.

"Sure, go ahead. Not like I've had better chances".

One of his hand reaches out to shake her, in agreement. The corner of her lips shapes into a smile, not intendent on losing a fine bet like this. Her silky azur palm joins his, the two wavering down and up.

~Get spacing, now~

WIth that said, she disappears, as well as the twin imps and the devil into a veil of powder and smoke. Jaden, with no energy to even bother about their whereabouts, quickly slumbers to sleep.

The next day, he wakes up, staring into his watch spilling 6:00am. First thing he does is clad himself in his gear. Uniform, bullet-proof, helmet, gas mask hanging on his neck, I.D card, boots, the full kit. His next step, the restroom. His usual cleaning, especially his teeth, that he relentlessly brushes for 2 minutes. Well, half of that, for a knock on his door occurs. Well aware of the fact that he forgot to untie Timmy from his chair, he goes for the door, cutting the ropes from the bound man at the same time. He sprints to the bathroom, wanting to take a leak forever.

Jaden opens the door, presented to a man kneeled down, tied everywhere. Tears streamed down his cheeks in heavy fashion, shaking more wildly than an autumn leaf about to fall off the tree. By his side, the same azur demon with an obtuse grin on her face, squeezing her hold on her quarry's shoulder. Jaden raises an eyebrow, mostly at the ball of socks lodged in his mouth.

"A socket gag?"

The demo shrugs, keeping her grin of victory beaming down her face.

"He wouldn't stop crying. Poor thing's better at dishing out his horrendous acts than taking them".

Jaden pulls his tooth brush out of his mouth, spitting the paste and chuckling a bit at her remarks.

"Aren't they all?"

She chuckles at this statement, once again tightening her grip on the tied man's shoulder, aggravating his panic.

"So, now that he's under arrest, wouldn't you think it's time to uphold your part of the bargain?"

Sending a pager message to his department, he scotts over, hand spreading to the insides.

"Go right ahead".

"Very well~

Letting go of the capture man's shoulder, she goes to clutch Jaden's arms.

"I know a delicious brunch restaurant not far from here, how about a coffee?~

Jaden, taken a bit by her sudden approach, broadcasts his hand to his uniform.

"You know I was about to leave in a few seconds, right?"

"I know..."

The same demon had a hand on his pager, typing on it like a keyboard before handing it back to him. A notice bells on the surface, spraying a message: You get a week off! Jaden raises and eyebrow just as she continues to ramble.

"They make coffees of every flavors, can you believe that? I even got a mint flavored drink~

"What did you ask for?"

"Ohh, a day off! I mean, It'd be a waste to disallow you to rest, right? The gentleman on the other side seemed to agree with me. Which means I have you all to myself now~

"Right...well, better go get changed then. For that...date".

~I'll be waiting~

Wavering her fingers around, she makes an alluring see-you-later as he walks back to his room, presented with yet another oddity: Timmy was once more bound to a chair, this time with the devil looking earnestly into his eyes. A smirk decirates her face as the imps lean on his shoulders.

~You hear that, handsome? We're going to be very close from now on~

"MMhhhhhh! Mmmhhhh!!!"

Timmy turns his eyes to Jaden, who this time had a faint grin on his face. Crossing his arms, he leaves the man once again to his fate.

"Sorry man, I gotta uphold my end of the bargain. See you later!"

Timmy's muffled screams intensify, to no avail as Jaden comes out of his room moment later, in a lightly dressed, meeting the woman behind the door, leaving him with three hungry lasses...
