The door opens with a melodic chime, and the cool darkness of the city melts into warmth and the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread. He approaches the counter, where an elderly lady lights up at the sight of him.
"Well, if it isn't the young man with the cat mask!" she exclaims.
She smiles at him. "My, my--it's been quite a while since I've seen you!"
He gives a small laugh.
"Has it been that long?"
"My--well, yes, it feels like. You used to come here almost every week, after all. Don't tell me you found a new bakery!"
"I could never replace this one."
Her smile is as sweet as her cookies. "Oh, you flatter me!" she laughs, waving a hand at him. "Anyway, what would you have today?"
He glances at the glass display of cakes, bright confectionaries glowing in light. "Can you get me six of those strawberry shortcakes?"
"Six, my dear?"
"My brother loves them," he explains, laughter in his voice. "He told me to take your entire stock... But let's just say you had six, okay?"
She smiles and begins to carefully place the shortcakes into a box. "My my, of course..."
There's a small, comfortable silence, and she looks up at him.
He doesn't reply, and she continues, still smiling.
"I think this is the longest conversation we've ever had by a milestone... And you were always so shy before, too, just ordering your bread and going your merry way."
She holds the box out to him with gentle hands.
"Everything bright for you, dearie?"
His voice comes out of the mask, clear and smooth.
Kraatz works as what s called a “treasure hunter” of NGC. In reality, this means that he works for the government to steal information and valuables from private organizations. His job is done via missions, though he often goes to the HQ (location unknown to public) to train.
Facts about his new job and lifestyle:
As stated, he goes under the alias “Wings” when working.
While his work is not illegal, you can bet it’s extremely shady.
His job is secret and generally unknown to the public. He has only told Cabe and Sven of it, both of who were made to promise not to tell anyone. He is not allowed to talk about it.
Kraatz has very little qualms about whether his work is ethical.
His outfit is almost entirely black to make it difficult to see him when he’s outdoors (remember that the city is always dark).
The only areas where he skin shows in his outfit are around his knuckles so that he can use his claws.
The back of his shirt has tight slits so that he can use his wings. His cape also has a hole in it for this purpose.
He has been prohibited from using his blood powers when not working.
He is NOT required to kill for his missions, though it is advised when spotted. So far he has a kill count of zero and is managing by using his blood to tranquilize targets.
So far he has been very successful at his job thanks to his powers, and he is well liked by his boss and co-workers.
Cabe: We moved! And by that I don’t mean we moved blogs or anything; we LITERALLY moved!
C: With Kraatz’s new job n’ all we figured it’d be better for us to live in the hidden district, which is also where I work!
C: We’re mostly unpacked now, right before the new year~ how exciting!
C: We’ll still visit the working district a lot though so it’s not like we’ll disappear.
Kraatz: ... Feel free to visit if you find us.
If your OC is friends with Kraatz, he gave your oc a black umbrella with a pattern of the sky inside of it .As said by him, “No one should be without an umbrella!”
If your OC is friends with Cabe, he gave them like 400 condoms. “You’re welcome.”
