Jude sighed into the air, leaning against the building where strapping young men went in to get jobs, handing over their flimsy paper degrees. He himself was waiting for the Boss. Not the boss of the building, of course. There wasn't really a boss in the building. No, he was...a special sort of boss. He controlled most of the menial jobs in Lordight. The jobs you didn't really hear the graduates from colleges talk about. Shoveling coal, Fishing, Shoeing horses. Anything easy, that didn't require going to highschool, or papers.
Jude bit his lip thoughtfully, and took out a cigarette, smoking it while he waited and glancing inside. He waved his hand slightly, and a small fire that had no heat started inside the building. An illusion. It was so real that you could smell the smoke. People started running out, swallowing their screams, and Jude chuckled. Inside, a few water mages were throwing hexes at the fire, getting everything wet.
He let the illusion remain for awhile longer and then let it go out.

A strapping white haired man dressed black slacks and a long black pea coat was walking down the street. It was Zimri! He was humming a tune to himself his hands in his pockets Zimri had made quite a name for himself lately what with his clothing line, the modeling, and his hospital/ bloodbank there was hardely anyone who didn't know his name.
As he walked he happened to look across the street where he saw a guy look into a building and with a wave of his hand set a fire inside. but something was different about the fire. Zimr i made his way across the street to address the younger man. though he didnt look to much younger, probably almost the same age. "You are lucky i'm not a cop." He jested in a serious tone . though a smirk on his face.

Jude grinned back at Zimri through his cigarette, pulled it out of his mouth, and blew smoke into the man's face. "Oh yeh? I'd say you're lucky I'm no' a cop." he told him with a mellow voice, his eyes amused. He wasn't positioning himself in a particularly friendly stance, but it wasn't hostile either. Curious, perhaps. "Th'cops usually don't mess with me, friend." he told him with a quiet chuckle and put the cigarette back in his mouth, this time blowing the smoke a different direction. "Except that one bloke...been caught a few times by th'man named Asher. " Jude shook his head, glancing back in the window where people were coming back in wearily, and the secretary was yelling at the boy who had tried to put out the fire with too much water.
She sent the boy outside, and he dragged his feet when he walked. Jude flicked his cigarette away, glanced at Zimri and whistled at the boy, "Oy, kid! I go' a job for you." The boy turned back cautiously and looked around before coming over, "What--what kind of job?" he asked a little nervously. It was common knowledge that agents of The Boss wandered around looking for potential drop outs.
"Th' good kind. With Mr... ahhh..." he glanced at Zimri, measuring him out, "Mr. Henderson, here. He was lookin' for a good kid with some skills to help 'im out. Isn't that right, Mr. Henderson?" he asked, looking at the other man mischeviously. The student beamed at Zimri, "You do, sir? Really? I'm very well quallified, I just ran into a bit of trouble inside the building--"

Zimri just stood there with a hand on his hip as he shook his head, a small smile on his face. oh this guy. Well he had better play it off. He looked to the new kid. He folded his arms and stood tall. He cleared his throat. "Yes I have a job here for you. You looked like you were capable. Now here is what i want you to do." He beckoned him over and whispered in his ears the instructions.
After that he patted the boy on his back and stood straight. "remember to leave a note for Mr. henderson you will recieve your payment!" (he is paying him a good amount of money, like an equivalent of 200 dollars. I dont know the monetary value and its worth for this thing.) He turned back to Jude. "Sorry 'bout that little intrusion he looked like he needed a job you know? say you are hanging around here, do you need a job? turns out Mr. Henderson is hiring."
(ZImri told the kid to go find asher and tell him about what Jude did and to sneak around the building to get jude by surprise, and on Zimri's signal freeze him. lol)

((XDDD OMG HAHAHAA))
Jude whistled as the boy rushed off happily, "Didn't expect you to handle tha' one well." he said with a grin, spitting out the stub of his cigarette and stepping on it. "Sure I need a job. Depends what kind of job, though. I'm not a very concentrated sort of person." he told him with a shrug, and stretched. It was true, Jude had no aim in life, and meandered from here to there, trying different things, or doing nothing, if apathy overtook him. "I was going to wait for th'Boss to give me one bu' I guess I can do whatevah you want. Bit of a handy man, in that respect." he said, amazed that the man still stuck around. He was a pretty sort of man, and vaguely familiar, as if Jude has seen his face somewhere before. Where he was from escaped him, though, and he didn't particularly care either.
---
Asher glared at a freshly graffittied wall, this time a naked redhead woman, and spat at the ground. Stupid freaking walls kept popping up all over the city with drawings on them, and people were starting to complain. He didn't mind them himself, just getting yelled at from his boss for not catching the man who kept doing them. Asher sighed, frustrated, and glanced around for clues. Besides cigarette butts, various spray cans with no fingerpints on them, and the little insignia on the corner of the drawing (a circle with a dot in the middle, and a line going down from there), he had nothing. And it wasn't like it was his job to catch the man, since he most obviously did it at night...
But the night police rarely payed attention to their duties. He had been about to leave the scene when a boy came rushing over, looking overbright and panting. "You need anything?" Asher asked gruffly, looking at the boy up and down. Probably not a fight, he looked too excited.

Zimri shrugged as he shifted his wieght to his right leg and put his hands in his coat pocket. He watched Jude with an interested smile. "Oh I have a hodge-podge of jobs to choose from, ranging from easy to hard, Id even offer to train you in the harder ones. And i pay good." Zimri stuck his hand out, "I'm Zimri. Zimri Archealus. And i'm sure i could find a job suited to your..talents." Zimri had a grin on his face, mentally sizing him up, what else could he do? he remembered there were reports of illusionary graffiti popping up, maybe this was the guy.
----------------------
The boy had to lean over to catch his breath. HE looked up to Asher. "Sir! A tall white haired man, his name was mr. henderson told me to find you, said that he wanted to file a report about an illusionest setting illusions in the bureau of employment, but that you need to sneak around the back so the guy wouldnt suspect you coming!" he then turned and beckoned for asher to follow.

"Zimri the model?" he asked with a condecending sneer on his face, "I thought I'd seen your face somewhere--" he paused to spread his hands out, "On a builboard! Charming! Simply charming! Enthralling, even!" he said in a girly voice, batting his eyes at the white haired man and grinning shortly afterwards. "No,really! What a profession! Is that what you'll be hiring me for? What will I learn--" he paused, as if shocked at this new thought, "Wait, I know! How to POSE! Or how to smile just right! Oh, the possibilities!"
Jude let a little giggle escape his chest, and he winked at the man good naturedly, "I'm afraid my face isn't sculpted finely enough for that sort of work."
---
Asher gaped at the boy blankly for a second, and then swore, "I just put him in the cell last week!" he growled furiously. That man was always causing trouble. "Lead the way, boy. I'd love to get my hands on that little fool again." The last time he had barely caught the illusionist because he'd almost chased the wrong one, and he'd exhausted himself using magic to catch the man.
Asher had had to come to work the next day, and he was not happy that Jude was the cause of all his aches and pains.

Zimri nodded as he chuckled and shook his head a little., yes he knew that this would be coming, no matter, it was alright. He shifted his weight to the other side. "yes I'm Zimri the model. though im not just a model, i do own and manage a hospital, oh and that delicate little blood shop for vampires. I have other jobs besides Modeling. THough even if your face wasnt sculpted right you could fix it up a little with your power. But no im not recruiting you to be a model. Thank you for the sentiments though, no matter how fake they were."
---------------------
The boy led Asher to an alley where he held his finger up to be quiet. as they snuck down the alley. the boy had used his water as a makeshift mirror to see around the corner and await the signal. HE turned back to nod to Asher., who he had already explained about ZImri giving a signal to freeze jude.

Jude snorted, "'s what you get for letting people take pretty pictures of you." he said in a bored voice, quickly losing interest in the white haired man. "I don't suppose you'll be /telling/ me what these jobs are? Or were you expecting me to accept on the spot?" he asked sarcastically, glancing around edgily. His toes were moving back and forth now as he became more restless. "I won't be giving away any of my blood, either." he added as an after thought, glancing behind him, at the sky, biting his nails. He ignored the feeling that he was doing something rather stupid by simply standing there, not wanting to seem foolish despite everything.
---
Asher, meanwhile, was grinning like a maniac. He'd finally have the b.astard! The look on his face--- priceless! Absolutely priceless!

ZImri just smiled and nodded. "Yeah I suppose so, and no i dont expect you to give blood. the blood is mostly from me anyways.Well the thing is i could use help anywhere, i am just trying to think of a good job for you." Zimri folded his arms again in thought, and moved his hand up to his mouth, placing his thumb between his teeth and biting down with a sharpened tooth, drawing blood. THE SIGNAL!
-----------------
the boy tapped Asher's arm that was the signal! he had to get him!

Asher was off like a bullet, throwing his hand forward and freezing Jude, who had looked behind just then and caught sight of him. The policeman staggered, releasing the freeze (he had forgotten he'd /just/ tired himself out freezing somebody the night before), and Jude was off like a bullet, with Asher in chase.
Or...sort of. In fact, Jude had made their surroundings look like he'd just run off, making himself invisible in the process. He glared at Zimri, pulled a fist back, and hit him in the stomach, making the man double over as the airwas knocked out of him. "You b.astard." came Jude's voice from above, and then he was /really/ off. There were seven more of him running around the city now, and Asher had allready given up when he realized that he wasn't actually chasing Jude (the fake had gone through a car without stopping).
There was no catching him now...he'd get him tomorrow. Meanwhile, Jude shook his head, meandering around the streets until he found one of the Boss's agents, and asked for a job, keeping a weary eye out for police, or a certain white haired man.

Zimri laughed a little as he got up to his feet. he watched Asher with the shake of his head, he needed to get his stamina up. HE breathed steadily for a few seconds as he leaned against the wall. HE brushed off his coat and looked to the kid who he had told to get asher. "You did good kid. Here." Zimri handed him a wad of money before walking off. He needed to find Izarus.
