OPEN - In the middle of the night
Who: Matt (playing the Devil of Hell's Kitchen Hadriel's Pantry?) and OPEN
What: Old habits die hard. Matt is hopping around the rooftops and backstreets of the city
Where: Honestly, anywhere -- from the city straight to the tunnels
When: Now, but encompassing various days/nights in the near future
Warnings: Matt's stupid "disguise" fashion sense. And PARKOUR!!!
[Matt has settled in, more or less, to his apartment, gotten the general layout of the city down. Very nearly even found a routine -- exploring, gathering supplies, going back to his new "home" and going through his mental notes, of what he knows and what he doesn't know.
But walking around the streets, cane in hand, doesn't give him everything he needs to know. And he may have sworn off his other life as Daredevil back in New York, but doesn't this count as an extenuating circumstance? Well, that's the justification he's using.
He's dressed all in black, pants, a long sleeve shirt, thick gloves, and a black knit cap pulled down over his eyes, the bridge of his nose, so only the lower half of his face shows.]
[Option A - City Streets]
[It's after dusk, but Matt does make his way along the streets, sticking to less-traveled ways. But that doesn't mean he won't run into someone else out and about in the evening hours.
In fact, it's Matt's luck that he may wind up dropping down from the rooftop, landing soundless -- right in front of some poor unsuspecting person.]
[Option B - Rooftops]
[Most of the time though, Matt spends his time above the city, darting around from one building to another. If he happens to run into anyone up here, well, that will catch his interest for certain, and Matt will approach.
Trying to come across as not a threat -- despite being a masked man all in black.] ...nice night for getting out... [He's bad at casual conversation in these situations. Usually he sticks to punching when he's wearing the mask.]
[Option C - In or Near The Tunnels]
[And since he was warned against the tunnels, Matt is definitely going to check those out. Yeah yeah, monsters. He knows.
Of course, he does have to make it past the outskirts of the city first. Maybe someone catches him before he can make it out that far.
Or maybe someone else is exploring, and may feel a hand on their arm and a low whisper,] Careful. There's something up that way... [Just a friendly alert that here be monsters.]
[Option D - Wild Card]
[Or catch him basically anywhere else.]

no subject
[And that is honest too, and not just because he's grateful she's volunteered to keep his secret before he could even ask her.]
Thank you. In this place, it may be different in the end. But for now, I'm grateful for the discretion.
[He laughs though.] Good?
no subject
[she can tell that he's being honest, but she worries about what he'll think of her when he gets more details about her past. a lot of it isn't pretty]
[she nods] You were masked. I assume you wouldn't be unless you had a good reason to be.
[she smiles] Of course it's good. Where I'm from, men are expected to be able to fight and fight well to protect his home, his House, the ones he cares for. I'm glad to hear that you can, too.
no subject
[Matt informs her, offering a smile.] Our past doesn't have to define the road we're taking now.
[It shapes it, of course, but choices still matter. He needs to believe that after some of his own past mistakes.
He ducks his head once more.]
My dad never wanted me to fight. That's what he did for a living. A boxer, you know? He wanted me to make my way through life with my brain instead of my fists.
no subject
[she smiles back, looking relieved] I suppose it doesn't. And I have been quite literally brought from the dead? I--would like to think that means I have new opportunities to perhaps not be as heedless as I was in my past life.
[Marg largely wants a clean slate. she's mostly accepted that she'll never be able to go back to Westeros, so that means building a life here or with someone else
she finds his apparent shyness endearing]
Sometimes, life doesn't quite work out the way we'd like it to. But if it helps, I think you're very smart.
no subject
[And it is. He's already confessed some of his worst, and she hasn't turned him away. That, he thinks, is a good sign.
He can sense her relief, the change in her posture, seated as the are. He reaches to set a hand on hers once more.]
You're alive here, that means the path you follow is up to you. I think so anyway.
[One step at a time. One choice at a time. He laughs, almost sheepishly at the compliment though.] Well. I get by anyway.
no subject
[she's not going to turn him away, she likes him too much to do so. and given the weirdness she experienced in life, very little is shocking to her anymore
when he takes her hand, she finds herself blushing like a maiden again. she likes the way it feels when he does things like that. she likes it a lot]
I hope I choose a good one, this time. I would like to think that I'm wiser now than I was before I died. I'm ambitious. [small laugh] I think I'll always be ambitious. But perhaps I can channel that into--better things this time around.
[she smiles] Well, you're a lawyer. From the way you described it, it doesn't sound like a career for the dull.
