The Business World. (Nightkill, Elena and Jack)

"I have cooperated often with the United States government in my past." Nightkill said. "They will always deny it, of course, and I do not blame them. However, they are hypocrites and will actively enlist the aid of someone they condemn. As are most people." Nightkill sighed. "That is a basic flaw of humanity, and one that disappoints me." He read her annoyed expression, and smiled, though it appeared odd and mildly disturbing on his face. "I realize you are irritated with me and Jack, Elena, but it will do you no good to attempt to kill us, or abandon us. I have been fighting since before you were born."

"I commend you on noticing the lack of metal, Jack. This will aid us in discovering the intentions of these aliens, if it is aliens." he said musingly. "Perhaps it is dwarves. They have an obsession with metal, and need it to fend off the elves. But it doesn't seem to be their style. If it were them, then it would be likely that no humans would have disappeared, or that people would even notice the metal being gone. So aliens seems to be a more likely explanation." he said, thinking aloud.

Jack looked between Elena and Nightkill as they semi bickered about the government and whatever caused this. He stayed silent throughout, not finding the need to input his own shaky opinion on this even. It could be aliens, it could be monsters, it could be whatever. Either way, it was doing no good and had to be stopped. He sighed, waiting for the two of them to calm back down, maybe they would get somewhere then. They then both turned their attentions to him and his observation, though one was decidingly more hostile than the other. He nodded at the two, vaguely listening to Nightkill ramble about elves and such as he watched Elena head off towards the Police station.

"Perhaps we should go to the rendezvous first?" he said quietly to Nightkill, pointing his cane towards the steadily retreating figure of Elena. "The other members of this expedition may have a bit more to say on this matter." With that, he picked his case back up, following Elena. As he did so, he pulled his hat down further. This place creeped him out to say the least. He had felt like he was being watched since they crashed on the roof, though he didn't say anything about it. No need to add more panic to this already messy scenario. No need at all.

(Since SeaCove ended(?), I'm ending this topic with a short post. Leaving it on a slight cliffhanger in case SeaCove does restart.)

The group reached the Police HQ, where they sat and waited. Nightkill looked around at his team, and chuckled. "Let's prepare for what's happening next." he said. "Whatever it may be. Hopefully the other heroes and villains, or whatever they might be, may have ideas for what is going on." he said, looking at the green sky. "And we can solve this mystery. Aliens, dwarves, elves, crazed superhumans...whatever it is, we will work together, and we will be prepared." he said. He was quite curious about what was truly here. That would matter, especially it were aliens. What technological miracles would they have? What would he learn?

"We will be ready."
