It's Film Noir see~

[badluckbabe]

Who: Jinx, Noir and Open to all
What: Film Noir has settled on the city
Where: The Digital Dive Bar
When: Sunday Evening



The world is made up of shades of black, white and grey.

Figuratively speaking, it's difficult at times to see where right and wrong lay as shadows of selfish motives and sinful opportunities present themselves and weaken even the most pure hearted. The shades of grey can lead them astray and turn you about till you can't even recognize yourself in the mirror anymore.

Also literally. As night fell upon the city the very color seemed to drain from the world and the clothing and lingo seemed to change to match.

The Digital Dive Bar was a seedy little joint on the north end of Terminal Tokyo, located in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty and adjacent to the Crest of Desire District.

It was the kind of shady bar where you could go to forget yourself for a few hours. Less reputable Digimon liked to gather here and drink away their problems. Some night this gathering of reprobates and rouges was downright cheery.

Tonight was not one of those nights.

A fog of cigar smoke filled the air above their heads as a crooked poker game was played out hour by hour with the chips gradually changing hands from one Mon to another. A vixen of a Renamon worked the bar flirting her way to tips and smoking from a long elegant cigarette holder. She wore a slinky black number that clung to her curves like so many men and mon would be happy to do behind closed doors.

"I can build just about anything. Maybe not like...a house, or something, but things that could be found useful, depending on what you want. Tools, carts, prosthetics of course..." He nodded to his leg, even though HE hadn't made the one he's using in the first place.

"Excellent. Then making me a weapon shouldn't be too difficult." She had had an idea in her head for awhile but it seemed luck would determine today was the day she take steps towards it.

"I need something versatile. Obviously nothing too heavy given my delicate figure~"

She leaned closer speaking in a flirtatious way while discussion a tool for fighting.

"I prefer being fast and accurate to make up for lack of force. But given the rules of this world...well a lady can never be too careful with so many cads and ruffian monsters about."

Hiccup leaned back slightly as she came closer, idly tracing his fingers along the rim of his glass. "A weapon...sounds like you'd benefit from a small, light club or a knife or something....or mace." Fearless snickered, rolling his eyes a little, to which Hiccup ignored and continued.

"I don't have the materials to build anything, though. You'd have to provide those."

[badluckbabe]

"You just tell me what you need and I'll fund it." Her eyes seemed to twinkle in anticipation.

"Of course I'll want it to be a bit more advanced then just a regular run of the mill knife or club. I could just buy one of those." She took half of the offered money and peeled it off the stack giving it to him.

"This will get you started. When you have some ideas put together, maybe some drawings come see me and we'll discuss further. Is this enough to help get your leg in order?" After all she couldn't expect quality out of him if he had trouble getting around.

Hiccup's eyes widen a little with surprise, but he takes the money offered to him without much hesitation. The money she'd given him was more than enough to repair his leg. He nodded slowly, "...Y-yes this....this is plenty. And don't worry, I'll think of something worth your while. I promise."

[badluckbabe]

She chuckled softly and then sighed, "I know you will. I can see it in your eyes."

She met his gaze again with those startling sharp catlike features.

"They're the eyes of someone who's suffered alot, but like a blade being forged all that pressure and heat has just made you stronger."

She wasn't entirely sure to be honest but it sounded like something that would encourage someone like him.

[trainsurdragons]

"U-uuhh...." He faltered, his grip tightening on the stack of bills in his hand. "....Th-Thank you. ....I think."

[badluckbabe]

She rose from the table and gave a playful wave.

"Don't keep me waiting handsome. I can't wait to see just what you can do~"

That earned him a few lecherous grins from around the bar as well as some curious female glances of admiration.
