Snippet #1845937

Jax's eyes slowly opened as the nudging of his shoulder woke him from his sleep. The wound on his stomach had almost healed, leaving was just appeared to be a small cut by this point. When he removed his hand from the wound his hand was covered in blood, which he quickly shoved into his pocket to hide from the person who had approached him. He nodded to the person and stood up. "Yeah, I'm fine. Some asshole tried to rob me about an hour ago. I guess Elysium's as dangerous as they say." Jax didn't want to reveal too much information. The last thing he wanted was someone questioning him out of curiosity, delaying his investigation even further.

He had arrived in Elysium only three days ago and at the behest of Umbra. He really didn't know what he was supposed to be looking for, but it found him instead. As far as he knows there are two of them, one who uses chains, and one who uses a knife. There faces and bodies where hidden under their shroud, making it impossible to ascertain their origin. Jax did know one thing for sure, they weren't human. He had almost been sold on the idea of it being 'followers' of the Black that destroyed Umbra's world. If that is the case however, this enemy is far stronger than he is ready to face.

He came out of his thoughts and put out his left hand, keeping his right in his pocket. "I'm Jax. I'm new to this city and I was wondering if you know of any good, cheap places I could stay at? Thankfully, he didn't make off with my wallet so I am able to pay." What are you doing? We should move on as quickly as possible. She didn't get it, but sleeping on whatever bard board box or home they could break into wasn't doing it for Jax anymore. It was presumptuous of him to assume that this person was a citizen of Elysium. But, with only 150 bucks to his name, his choices were limited.
