Bentley nodded mutely, watching her back as she turned and left. Arachne could likely feel his gaze still on her until she left his sight.

--

As Arachne reached the office she felt their air grow a hint cooler. The office itself was already locked, but a light inside seeped under the door. Signifying that someone was inside the camera room.

As Bentley got ready for his shift, someone walked up to him. "Excuse me? You're that guard that takes care of the intruders, aren't you? Any chance I could pull you aside for a minute? Promise it won't take too long."

The guard turned his head slowly, the rest of his figure following the movement. Their gaze already began to furrow slightly as he met their eyes..

"I am.. What do you want from me? I already have a schedule from the boss so I'm not.. gonna do nothin extra..."

[jainnnnn]

He shifted his weight, giving Arachne a more intense once over for a moment before sighing.

"I.. guess so." His shoulders relaxed slightly, leaving the room quiet for a moment. He ran a hand over his face with a deliberate breath inwards.

"Stop by the cams office and tell Simon you have someone coming before you leave. Nathan is out for the day."

As Bentley got ready for his shift, someone walked up to him. "Excuse me? You're that guard that takes care of the intruders, aren't you? Any chance I could pull you aside for a minute? Promise it won't take too long."

"I am.. What do you want from me? I already have a schedule from the boss so I'm not.. gonna do nothin extra..."

[jainnnnn]

His gaze unfocused briefly.. Flitting to one side before once more meeting her.

"Tonight.. Did you clear that with Nathan..? "

As Bentley got ready for his shift, someone walked up to him. "Excuse me? You're that guard that takes care of the intruders, aren't you? Any chance I could pull you aside for a minute? Promise it won't take too long."

"Oh! I can teach you some knife tricks! No big deal! "

Jay flipped out his knife with a small twirl to demonstrate, he seemed more than happy to accept the other as a student of sorts.

"I'll stick with ya for a while, since these alleyways can be dangerous for a kid like you!"

[Jay toyed with the pocket knife in his grasp as he walked, humming to himself as he looked for a victim. He thought he looked rather cool, despite still being a dork about it all. He was a criminal now! Action! Robbing people blind! The whole thing!

His steps slowed as he started to look for a good target.. Someone who looked to have cash and would give it up at a little threatening. ]

Though Jay would seem conspicuous to anyone smart enough to know what a knife could mean in this city, it didn't catch the eye of many people...

Except for one.

A young teen in a disheveled but loved sweater passed by Jay without much thought, but as they saw that a roadblock cut off their usual route, they were forced to turn around. That was then they saw the pocket knife's glint, and curiosity quickly got the better of them.

They quietly followed behind, making sure to be as sneaky as possible.

[jainnnnn]

He looked down at the other, his chest fluttering slightly as he brought his breathing to normal levels after the slight scare.

"That's dangerous! You could've gotten.. You think my knife tricks are cool-?"

As they rushed after Jay, the door opened easily and they ran headfirst into the older mugger's back. He gave a short yelp and jumped away from them, fumbling with his jacket and dropping his knife with a dull clattering on the wooden floor..

"Who.. Who are you?! I don't have anything valu.."

He paused, taking in that a kid had bumped into him instead of someone much scarier..

"Oh it's just a kid..."

He sounded rather relieved, his shoulders relaxing a little as he quickly snatched up his knife again.

Jay continued onwards cheerfully, until he came to a small door at the back end of the alleyway and entered. It was left unlocked..

[Jay laughed to himself, standing up straighter and pocketing the change he'd stolen. He seemed pleased with himself, rambling to no one in particular. ]

"Boss'll be proud'a me, got some cash today! Good thing that pushover still takes this route-"

[He began humming again as he traveled further down the alleyway. ]

[Jay turned down an alleyway, until he ran into someone, a good enough target for his plots. ]

"Hey! Hands up-"

[He pulled the knife on the unsuspecting object head, startling them into raising their hands meekly. ]

"I.. I don't know what you want! I don't have much.."

[Upon closer inspection the odd object head's skin appeared to be metal.. And his head's plastic Tomogatchi casing was taped together with a few well placed pieces of duct tape.. ]

"Just give me the cash and we won't have to do anything.. harsh."

[Jay stuck his hands into the robot's pockets, pulling out a few coins and a dollar.. ]

"Good! You're free to go, I'll be behind you until you leave the alleyway!! So don't try a-anything!!"

[The other quickly walked out of the alleyway while Jay pocketed the knife and allowed himself to punch quickly into his other hand as he shook slightly. ]

[MJ shivered a little and leaned into the contact, purring softly at the sensation.. ]

*Mary had dragged in what seemed to be a corpse. *

[MJ had been laying on the couch, flipping through a small magazine before she sat up at Mary's arrival.. ]

Mary.. Mary darling, what in the world did you bring back?

[jainnnnn]

[The nails on her hands seemed to grow for a moment, before her wings seemed to grow out slightly.. She seemed comfortable.. ]

[jainnnnn]

[Without anyone moving, Buccal's couch was closer to the other. She could at least do that for the woman.. ]

*Mary had dragged in what seemed to be a corpse. *

[MJ had been laying on the couch, flipping through a small magazine before she sat up at Mary's arrival.. ]

Mary.. Mary darling, what in the world did you bring back?

[jainnnnn]

No darling, you should let Buccal rest.. You should always ask first too dear.

[Her wings folded behind her.. ]

[MJ had been laying on the couch, flipping through a small magazine before she sat up at Mary's arrival.. ]

Mary.. Mary darling, what in the world did you bring back?

[jainnnnn]

You can help Mary when you're healed Buccal..

[She certainly didn't know teeth.. She knew anatomy. ]

[MJ watched intently, her gaze falling on Buccal warningly. ]

[jainnnnn]

[MJ slid off of Mary's side, retreating to her couch to watch over the two of them.. Just in case anything happened. ]
