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
But that is not a reaction he's expecting.]
...everyone? I didn't realize it was a trend.
[Who knew.] Sorry. You all right?
[He can be polite as a masked man, when there's not an immediate fight on hand.]
no subject
[Okay, just terminally dramatic.]
What's with the outfit, Batman?
no subject
[But uh. The outfit. Well. His lips press into a wry smile.] All us roof jumpers are wearing it. New fall style.
[A pause and he adds,] Or an old one.
no subject
Was that a pun?
no subject
Might have been. I won't tell if you won't.
no subject
[Although she doesn't even know who this guy is, so there's not much fun in it.]
What are you doing, anyway? Planning a heist?
no subject
Believe it or not, I'm on the other side of the law.
[Team good guy.]
no subject
[He certainly doesn't look like a cop.]
no subject
[So yeah. The latter of those things.]
Which I realize is not exactly on the strictly legal side of things.
[He realizes that clearly, given that he's a lawyer, but you know. Details.]
no subject
Half the shit I do isn't strictly legal. You should get like, an actual mask though. That must suck to see through.
no subject
Yeah. I've got something better back home, but I didn't have the right outfit on when I got dragged to this place.
[And because he's curious.] What sort of shit is half the shit you do?
no subject
[She pauses, not sure where to start.]
Do you have magic where you're from?
no subject
[Things have been changing a lot. Changing fast. And Matt doesn't now what to call some of what happens in his world anymore. The Hand, the Chaste. What some people he's known have been capable of.]
no subject
[She draws the word out thoughtfully, then shrugs. He's probably got enough of a basis that she doesn't need to explain.]
Magic is all over the place in my world. If you cast a spell and screw up, or there's a ghost hanging out in your apartment, or you need to get rid of some cursed necklace or something, you can do it officially or through the guilds. A lot of people don't want to get arrested or have their shit confiscated, so they call someone like my boss. Then me and my friends go in and deal with it and don't get paid nearly enough. But it's fun.
no subject
[Magic fixers, making problems go away without involving the authorities? All right. Matt thinks he understands -- as much as he can, given that magic is definitely not in his wheelhouse.]
Most of the people I meet here seem to be from places where magic is more real than not.
no subject
[She's got enough to deal with.]
Have you caught any bad guys yet?
no subject
[Hell's Kitchen is almost never quiet. Ever.]
no subject
[She perks up, grinning.]
Where?
no subject
Hell's Kitchen. [So out it comes, and because he can't help being curious himself.] You?
no subject
[She says it teasingly.]
I grew up in Williamsburg. Are vigilantes a thing in Hell's Kitchen or something?
no subject
[A laugh and a shrug of his shoulders.] Back home they called me the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. Though I can't say I'm entirely unique.
no subject
God, do you know how fucking high rents are in Williamsburg now?
[But vigilantism is more interesting than that, right?]
Why do they call you that?
no subject
[Lucky in that it'd be unpleasant for anyone who could actually see to live in, given the never-ending light show.]
I suppose the newspapers had to call me something. Headlines need to grab attention.
no subject
[Something about the way she says it hints at the fact that she thinks it's dramatic in a cool way.]
Uh, I'm Kyna. Nice to meet you.
