[The video crackles on and there's a somewhat familiar face that appears, though it appears somewhat bored. The username suggests that this is not Jacob Kane and instead someone that looks identical to him. Well, if he stopped attempting to look like a lazy college student, that is. When he speaks, it with a flat monotone that's devoid of any emotion.]

If there is anyone here who knows of the man named Jacob Kane, I would like to know his whereabouts as I've found something of his that I would like to return.

[He looks down briefly and something starts making almost angry hissing sounds, but it's muffled by something.]

Stop that. I know you can behave better than this. [He looks back up at the camera.] Dear brother, if you're receiving this, I found your shadow.

[aeterminus]

That's correct. We find those who haven't died when they're supposed to and kill them ourselves.

[He might have some pride over his job. Abel thinks it's the best job.]

[smokedout]

[Okay, that is the coolest fucking thing he's ever heard. That is way cooler than Cain made it sound.]

Got the feeling there's not gonna be much business for that here, you got plans for what you're gonna do here?

[aeterminus]

[Cain always undersells how cool being an Enforcer is because Cain will never be an Enforcer.]

I was given a job, but I'm sure I can find other ways to keep myself busy. Outside of looking after my brother, of course.

[smokedout]

I can probably offer you some side-jobs, if you get bored. But that depends on where you stand for shit like morality and laws.

[Dodger's given up on making himself not seem shady a long time ago. He's missing an eye and his face is covered in scars, it's much easier to just roll with it.]

[aeterminus]

You will find that on the nature of morality and laws, I truly do not care about them. As long as it is entertaining to me, I will do whatever jobs you are able to offer me.

[Abel doesn't judge on shadiness because he's super sketchy himself.]

[smokedout]

[Yep, it's official. Abel is his new hero in this city.]

Then I think we're in business - I can probably provide some supplies whenever you need them, if you start getting into dicey territory. I mostly work with cars and motorbikes, but I got a few connections for weaponry and less legal stuff - and mental suggestion drugs, if you find a use for them.

Or you know. You can always join Cain and I for dinner if you need an excuse to hang with me without getting the cops on your heels.

[He's still wearing a power suppression collar, so should he really be a trusted source of law-breaking equipment?]

[aeterminus]

I can supply myself with weaponry, as I can make my own or create them through my magic, but I may have need of a vehicle in the future.

[He needs a car to fix up so he can distract himself from not having a proper job.]

I may join the two of you, but do not be alarmed that I do not eat.

[smokedout]

More for us, I g- wait.

[Hold up.]

You can make guns with magic?

[?????????????????????????]

Can Cain do that?

[aeterminus]

I can, although I prefer using actual guns and only making bladed weapons with my magic.

[He tilts his head slightly at that.]

He cannot. He doesn't have access to this kind of magic.

[smokedout]

So, what, it's an Enforcer thing?

[Enforcers seem so fucking cool why did no one tell him!!]

You gotta show me that some time, that's fucking incredible.

[aeterminus]

It is, though most would use their powers for fireballs and the like instead of something useful.

[Because Cain does not truly understand how cool they are.]

I will do that for you. It will be good practice for me.

[smokedout]

Hey, don't knock fireballs - they can still do some kickass damage in the right hands.

[Like his hands. When he isn't stuck in a damn power suppression collar.]

Shit- I forgot to ask, you immortal like Cain is? Like, you can't get hurt?

[aeterminus]

The Enforcers who use their magic in that way tend to be newly deceased, so they aren't particularly skilled in that regard.

[The amount of damage baby Enforcers do is ridiculous because of this.]

No, I'm not immortal so much as I am a spirit who can make myself visible and tangible to those who cannot interact with ghosts.

[As if to prove that, Abel just sticks his hand through his own chest like it doesn't even exist for him.]
