Night Tour(Open)

During the few months of Zarakc's time in Jump City, there had been something that managed to catch his eye quite often as he moved above the city. Months earlier, the Titan's Tower would have caught been this something, with its endless vigil of the city. For now though, it was the observatory towards the far reaches of the city that intrigued him. 

It was late, after a large portion of the city retired for the night. The lights from the nightlife of the city were distant from this location, the moon and the stars supplying the light in the area. Zarakc made his way towards the entrance to the observatory, finding the location to be a certainly acceptable place for watching over the city whilst still feeling somewhat secluded from it as well, should one be looking for such a combination. 

He peered up at the dome that he had previously seen from so far away in the past before approaching the door to the facility and pushing it open, the door giving a resistant squeal from its aged hinges. As he made his way into the entrance, his footsteps could be easily heard throughout the area, it being rather devoid of sound sans the ever distant sound of the city's nightlife. Looking about curiously, he made his way to the centre, eyeing the various systems that were setup and curiously still functioning. He glanced about them curiously for a small portion of time before deciding to proceed along with his self-guide tour.

Transitioning his attention to the telescope, he grew quite curious about this whole place, wondering why such a facility would be seemingly deserted despite the appearance of working to some degree. He decided to not really put more thought into that ordeal, he knew little about the city and those in it to begin with so, he certainly wasn't going to figure out some mystery about this place being abandoned. Standing beneath the telescope now, he adjusted his gaze up through the open dome, now looking out at the night sky, enjoying the view.

Zarakc was preoccupied looking up at the sky when the couple came into the observatory, being a little too distracted to hear the door creak. As they made their way towards the telescope, the sounds of their footsteps could be heard, but Zarakc didn't quite notice it yet before he heard Jason as he approached.

"Hmmm?" Zarakc merely responded with initially as he turned around, seeing Jason's figure approach with someone else in the background. It was odd seeming, running into people here, though perhaps others were as attracted to this place as he was. "I did not expect anyone else either. Is this place yours?" He inquired, wondering if this facility belonged to the person he was now conversing with as he glanced back at Katey before looking back at Jason.

"It is a better view of the sky than the other areas around here." Zarakc commented as he looked back up at the easily visible stars for a moment before looking back to the couple as Jason spoke to him again. "I'm not used to being in company, but I don't mind it. Feel free." He replied in a straightforward manner, he was a little unsure as to why he was asked if they could use the telescope, but he quickly dismissed the thought.


"Do you two come here often?" Zarakc asked as he slowly moved about the outer perimeter of the room, his glance gazed upwards at the large telescope. With what Jason had said thus far, it sounded like there was a chance this was a possible haunt of his and the girl's.

"Certainly seems like a nice place to visit often. Me? I was just curious about this place. I kept seeing it throughout the area and just decided to visit it." Zarakc replied as he stopped circling the room as Jason approached him, putting his hands behind his back.

"Zarakc." Zarakc simply replied with a soft nod of his head as he looked at Jason's outstretched hand for a moment before looking back up at him, seeming a little puzzled. "Does that mean something?" He questioned, referring to Jason's outstretched hand, his voice expressing his mild confusion. He looked back at Jason's hand for a moment before looking back up at Jason, his own hands kept behind his back for the time being.

(My apology for the delayed reply, my body and I decided to fight the last two days and I certainly wasn't winning)

Zarakc watched Jason as he began to explain what the gesture with his hand had meant. He nodded in acknowledgment, just another thing to learn when actually interacting with people opposed to his usual observing from afar.

"Ah, well I can't say I'm all to familiar with introductions." Zarakc would reply in a frank manner, after all, Jason was the first person he had met with during his time in Jump City and he hadn't exactly been watching people to pick up on all their mannerisms. He looked towards the entrance of the observatory as there were sounds of someone coming in. Not exactly sure what the current situation was, he glanced over at Jason and Katey and saw them hiding behind one of the machines.

Figuring it was better to follow suit instead of questioning the action, Zarakc did just that and hid behind one of the machines on the opposite side of the room. He watched as the cop entered he room with his flashlight and gun, silently ducking back behind the machine to avoid being seen. Looking over to where Jason and Katey were, he seemed to be interested in Jason's preference in how to handle the situation. It was most likely the case that he would have a better idea on how to handle the situation.

OT: No problem at all. 

Zarakc peered at the ball inside Jason's hand, figuring it would serve as the distraction to let them all slip past the cop. He nodded enough so that Jason could see it from across the room, ready to take flight whenever they were ready to. As the ball smacked into the far wall and distracted the cop, he waited for Jason and Katey to make their way towards the entrance before he stole out from behind the machine and made towards the exit along with them. If all things went well they could all be out of here and not have to worry about any confrontation with the officer. If things didn't exactly go all that well, at least he had a few ways he could disengage from the officer if it came to that.

Zarakc shook his head at the sound of the door's hinges letting out the loud creak that was all too easily heard throughout the observatory. It seemed quite an oversight for all of them to have overlooked that rather important factor in their escape. No matter now, something was certainly going to have to be done about the cop at this point if they wanted to get away.

"Just get ready to run." Zarakc whispered back to Jason as Zarakc took in a deep breath and faced towards where the cop would be coming from. He brought his hands back to one of his sides and waited until the cop appeared. As soon as the cop appeared in his sight, he would thrust both of his hands forward, summoning a powerful surge of wind to start from behind him and plow into the officer, planning on knocking him back and hopefully delaying him enough for them to make a getaway.

Once the surge of wind had connected with the officer, Zarakc had turned around and ran outside of the observatory, soon after Jason had made it out as well. He peered over at the police cruiser as Jason took note of it and began to freeze over the tires to the vehicle, rendering it unable to be used for the time being.

"Someone like you, what do you mean? Zarakc questioned Jason in a curious tone, sounding rather invested in the answer to his inquiry, not exactly knowing what Jason had meant by the statement. There was a possible chance that Jason would know something about him. Though Zarakc certainly didn't know how likely that chance was, the phrasing Jason used sounded as though it was a possibility. So for the time being, he kept pace with Jason as they fled the scene, intent on doing so until he had an answer.
