It had only been a couple days since Jesse woke up in this strange city. At first, he wondered if this was the afterlife, what with all the weird magic and strange looking folks wandering all over the place. He didn’t mind it too much. Having spent so many years in Blackwatch, Jesse had learned to get used to being surrounded by oddballs. As long as he had a little whiskey to calm the nerves, and his peacekeeper hanging at his hip, there was nothing to worry about.
And so, after much deliberation, Jesse decided that it was time to explore this place, starting with his very own apartment. His roommate was out. He still hadn’t had a chance to get acquainted with her, but there was still plenty of time for that. Instead of waiting around, Jesse strolled down the hallways of the small apartment complex. It still seemed a little empty, though he’d definitely heard someone yelling a few doors down the night before, and what seemed like footsteps coming from upstairs.
Jesse eventually found himself on the first floor, where he spotted a boy standing in front of the directory. Jesse could already tell this kid wasn’t a local. He didn’t have that weird... almost magical feeling that the others did. As weird as the kid looked, he seemed relatively normal. Jesse approached cautiously, slowly lifting up a hand.
“Hey there, kiddo... Y’look a little lost. You from round these parts? Need help findin’ yer ma?”
