[honestly, it's a pretty nice night. not too hot, not too cold. the city line is looking relatively clean-- and the sounds of life below are kind of comforting. especially given the normal silence of Tokyo-F.

Jason's lowering his hood, and pulling off his mask as he approaches the edge of the roof beside you.]

Not bad.

[selfpreservationist]

[raven's long coat is fluttering in the wind as he stands there, surveying the city skyline. his gaze eventually lands on jay, looking him up and down, very obviously proprietary]

... no, not bad at all.

[mind_blown]

[look, he's very obviously wearing clothes that are clinging to his muscles. it's fair. but when he hears Raven, his head inclines back towards him, and his stance shifts enough to turn partways towards him.]

Didn't think you'd make it up here, but looks like I was wrong.

[he glances him over]

[selfpreservationist]

[raven's wearing this getup at present, because it's the only one with a coat that can flutter dramatically]

I have my ways. You were right; the view is... breathtaking.

[mind_blown]

It's my favorite one.

[finally, he peels off the domino mask-- surprise. it was jason the whole time.]

And you're above it all up here.

[he finally steps towards him.]

[selfpreservationist]

[~surprise~

raven notices him coming closer out of the corner of his eye, and his lip curls into a not-so-subtle smirk]

There are other ways of making a man feel like he's on top of the world... but this one is certainly effective.

[mind_blown]

[it's the biggest surprise. but still, he tucks his mask into his jacket pocket and regards him levelly,]

So, you still going for the villain bit?

Because I'm 50-50 on if I should have a problem with that.

[softlyfalling]

[ she's dressed head-to-toe in practical black, the breeze causing some hair to escape her braid, and turns her head when he speaks—she's standing a little bit back from the edge to look at the scenery, as if a little leery of the height. ]

There's so much of it...

[mind_blown]

Yeah. And we're above it all-- the best kinda view you can get.

[he does turn slightly away from the scenery to look at her, but he doesn't move away from the edge. his jacket and hair waft in the wind-- and his shirt is very, very obviously clinging to his muscles. compared to her black, his red is bight and stands out against the lighting of the city.

the domino mask blocks his blue eyes, though.]

[softlyfalling]

Mm... definitely good view, it's true.

[ she says, looking sideways at him, and not at the city at all,

and then, a little self-consciously, brushes some hair back out of her face, tucking it back behind her ear. ]

...what's the mask for? I hope I didn't miss something about the dress code.

[mind_blown]

It's for the whole secret identity. Can't have all the crazies knowing who I am-- or maybe it's the normal guys. Would hate to get approached on the street about every old problem that can come up.

[he offers a mild shrug.]

What about the black?

[he will move closer to her]

[softlyfalling]

Mm... old habit, maybe?

[ she looks up at the sky briefly, expression a little distant, before glancing back at him. ]

I'm used to trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. Similar reason, you could say. And, anyway, it's practical...

...surely you can take that off here, though.

[mind_blown]

[he peels the mask off a moment after she states it, tucking it into one of the hidden compartments in his hood.]

Here? Sure. For you.

[tenebraecious]

[in something white and flowing, toes right up against the edge of the building with her hands tucked behind her as she considers the lights and the noise and the life. not looking back at the comment]

What is?

[mind_blown]

[the life-- it's the thing he misses the most. having problems that could be immediately accessed and fixed. people that could be-- maybe not helped, but the idea was there. he glances over at her.]

It's a pretty quiet night. Could be a lot worse.

[tenebraecious]

[glancing towards him when she speaks]

You could be called away to some danger?

[and back to the sight]

It is peaceful. I am glad for it.

[mind_blown]

You've got it in one.

[he offers a small shrug.]

I kinda miss it.

[tenebraecious]

It is unfamiliar to me, but I can see the appeal.

[easily turning around to come down off the ledge, holding a hand out to him]

Shall we? Unless you think it time for another lesson.

[mind_blown]

[he considers her for a moment.]

You mean like a lesson in falling?

[the most important of lessons, as he takes her hand.]

[rollyourluck]

[ outfit has changed to something like this as he looks out at the scenary, though he does turn his head to look at jason as he comes up ]

No, definitely not bad.

[mind_blown]

When'd you get up here?

Thought this was gonna be a private viewing.

[rollyourluck]

You want me to leave?

[mind_blown]

I'll graciously allow you to stay, this time.

How's that sound?

[rollyourluck]

How kind of you! I'll take you up on that offer.

[mind_blown]

I didn't take you for a rooftops kinda guy.

[you know it's fine, they can stand together looking over all the city.]
