It's been a while, city of light. I apologise for my extended absense... due to a few... Problems which I don't want to go in to right now I haven't had time to keep up.

Anything I should be knowing right about now?

I've managed to find a... stable place to live. It's not the best place, but it's fitting, I think. Though I think people visiting the church won't like me in the bell tower. But, their problem, I suppose.

I suppose I didn't lose that fight... everything aches, though. I really need to pick my fights better.

What've I missed?

Is on temporary leave while I fix him. It also appears that I am being insulted.

How droll.

((OOC notice: Regardless of the result of the fight, Jackie is mashed up. The Darkness is going to be busy repairing his body, and in this time will act through him.))

I'm going to be fighting Michael relatively soon. I doubt it will solve the problem, but with any luck, it will knock some sense into the angst-angel.

I threatened to kill/harm/injure/maim a lot of people recently...

I'm not going to apologise, but I will say not to ignore them or push it. I'm feeling better now, in a tangent.

I've been... letting myself fall into old habits- and it's getting diffficult to keep control of my actions. Sorry to anyone who I seem to be acting angry or strange... hopefully it's just passing.

((OOC note: Since Jackie has been angry at a few people, and gotten into an unecassary fight, the darkness is influencing him more heavily. Sorry to anyone I piss off with his taunting. I'll also put a few random italics in to make the talking seem more... awkward. It's supposed to be that way, so don't worry.))

I didn't expect to open up so quickly. I feel stupid for it, I suppose- but it's always a laugh now and then.

And shinigami, huh? They could turn out to be more interesting than I thought they would. Especially that 'Captain' one...

Is what this place is full of. For better or worse would be a different question... but it's good to see so many people not set on money, or whether the next drug shipment will make it.

I could get to like it here.

This is far away from where I'm supposed to be. I've done a lot of stupid things before, but gettin' lost isn't one of em'... It doesn't look like it led me here. But, I have been surprised before...
