Jack’s eyes widened when Tobias shoved him into a wall and knocked the breath out of him, and for a moment he was scared that he had been following the wrong person. But-- no. No, it was undoubtedly Tobias who was cutting off Jack’s air. Jack’s fingers scraped over rough brick and he was torn between struggling to keep his plasmids in check, and struggling to breathe against the pressure on his throat.

And then Tobias began to change, and Jack let ice coat his fist unrestrained.

“What-- wh-what--” He held up both hands as a barrier between himself and the inhuman being in front of him. The inhuman being who was Tobias, his-- friend.

Jack’s eyes were narrowed and wild and his ice was spreading rapidly over his forearm. Still, he made no move to attack Tobias. Jack was scared and confused, but he still wanted so desperately to trust the one person with whom he had connected since his return to the surface.

“What was that?” His tone was sharp and unfriendly. Awkward was an understatement. “You’re spliced? Or-- or something? What the hell?”

jack has such a backwards understanding of the arkham squad tho...

he thinks @hellfire-hitman​ is a good, wise friend-in-the-making who will be nice to be around

he thinks @bundleofnerves​ is some kind of mad scientist and that he needs to adopt that ghoul to save it from carter’s evil sciencey ways

and he thinks @yxgsothoth​ is a very nice and very normal human :)

“Oh!” Delighted, he knelt by the dog and lavished it with attention.

Jack didn’t think he liked the man-- he had seen how the stranger had looked at the dog-- but he smiled politely up at him anyway. “She sure is cute, isn’t she? Do you know if she belongs to anyone? ...Since she isn’t yours, I mean.”

It had been somewhat difficult, readjusting to life on the surface. Everything Jack had thought he had known about this world had been falsified, implanted in his mind, tailored to fit Fontaine’s agenda. He couldn’t trust a single memory of life before Rapture, and it made it difficult to blend into the masses and pretend that this was all routine.

Maybe that was why, when he caught sight of a man whose skin was stained with markings that reminded Jack of his own little tattoos, he stopped in his tracks and simply watched the man for a few moments. The stranger stood out against the drab backdrop of the rest of “normal” society, and Jack felt an almost warmth for this fellow outlier.

Jack rubbed absently at the chain tattoo on his left wrist and, after a moment’s hesitation, approached the other man. His little girls had been making new connections here on the surface, and it was time for Jack to start making those connections, too.

“Those are interesting.” Jack gestured vaguely at the man’s tattoos, feeling like a fool. He hated talking, especially when he ended up saying something this stupid and awkward.

Still. Nothing ventured, and all that.

😃?

😃 For a general headcanon of our muses 

Marigold didn’t really intend on becoming so close with Tobias when they first met–she has a tendency to just be open and friendly to people when it suits her fancy.  But she decided to stay friends with Tobias because, despite his pretty much evil nature, he never expected her to be anything other than what she was. 

He understood her trauma and never expected her to simply ‘get over it’ and she appreciated having someone who cared about her.  He’s like a big brother to her and has been one of her closest friends for years, which is why she is so loyal to him, because despite how he treats everyone else he has been nothing but kind to her.

(However, that isn’t to say she will just let him treat others however he wants–if he treats some cruelly and it ticks her off, she will tell him.  She knows that he’s dangerous and could easily kill her, but she isn’t afraid of him.  She just knows how to usually talk to him in a way that keeps him from getting ticked at her.)

Headcanon Questions 

✘: What are your muses pet peeves? 

One of Michael’s biggest pet peeves is when people don’t take him seriously. He feels that he is a very reasonable person who gives his opinions when he knows enough about a topic to have them, and otherwise defers to those with a better understanding of whatever the topic is. He feels that he only really pushes his ideas when he’s right about them, and when people ignore that or dismiss his strongly-held opinions it makes him very frustrated and upset.

🍕: What’s your muses favourite food? 

Michael really likes good, well-seasoned medium-rare steak. He doesn’t have it very often.
