( 02 ) video → day 131

[ He'd only stepped out in hopes of finding something useful to do, or perhaps a way back to his own district. The safe house was nice, but it was making Jackson entirely too restless. Of course, he hadn't anticipated stepping out to find the streets just as dark as the night before.

He quickly turns on his feed, intent of finding out if there's been any answers found about this. ]

Is it getting stronger? [ His face is hard to make out because of the darkness until he flicks on the flashlight in his hand and a faint halo of light surrounds him. ] I mean, whatever this is because right now, it doesn't exactly look like nine in the morning. And if any of those things are still around —

[ He stops in his tracks, sure that he's heard something. There's an unsure look before his hand drops to his side and the video shows the flashlight jumping around erratically as he tries to see around him. The video times out after a few seconds. ]

. . .

[ When the video starts again, Jackson's running pretty fast and all that can be seen is bits and pieces of things flying past, sucked into some unknown force. He lifts his hand and his face is seen briefly and he's shouting something, though the wind makes it hard to hear too clearly: ]

What the fuck— [ It's all he manages to utter before a shroudy, dark mist starts wrapping it self around him. Anyone familiar with it should know it as the Darkness slowly possessing him and turning him into a Taken oops. ]

[ ooc: taking both network replies and actionspam! He'll probably only reply via network if they message him after the first bit of video. Otherwise they're welcome to run into him as a Taken until Derek and the others show up to kill him. /o/ ]

[ This is the first Scott has seen of Jackson here since he arrived. And what is Jackson doing? Getting his ass in trouble. Big surprise.

He and Jackson may not be friends, but the video is still horrible to watch. It's like watching a horror movie, except it's real and the boy who's running for dear life isn't an actor, he's someone Scott has been trying to protect back home even though he knows he'll never get a thank you. There's nothing Scott can do to stop what's happening. It always frustrates him when he can't protect those around him. He feels like he's let them down even though it's not his fault.

The very last image of Jackson is worrying to say the least, but maybe it's not too late. If Jackson is still alive and injured, Scott can move him to a safe place. He just needs to know Jackson's location... If only his heightened senses were as strong as they were back home, it would make this so much easier. ]

Jackson, if you're watching this, tell me where you are.

[ It takes a few minutes for Jackson to reply because he's still trying to make sure that the sounds he heard weren't really another group of monsters just waiting to attack. Once he's somewhat sure that things are okay, he checks the bracelet and well, isn't this just what he needed to see.

Only you know, not. ]

Why am I not surprised you've found your way here too, McCall?

[ Scott won't be getting a big surprised look because frankly, he was expecting him to show up any minute after he talked to Allison and all things considered, there's bigger worries on his mind. Jackson will just be narrowing his eyes at the video, frowning as much as ever. ]

It must be fate. [ Scott has to smile a little at how disgruntled Jackson looks to see him.

But then he's back to looking serious. ] What are you doing? Haven't you heard of safety in numbers?

Try some really stupid gods who can't be bothered to give a shit. [ yep, still disgruntled.

and he doesn't need you to babysit him!!! ] I'm just trying to get back to my room. I'll be fine. Not that it's any of your business.
