Animal Within ~ Nova's Diary

Entry One

Note: Events will be more detailed here as not only is this being written from Nova's POV but as I will actually have time to think things over and won't be as worried about keeping up with the chat.

The Meeting:

*the handwriting is not only messy, but also shaky. As if the author was writing in a moving vehicle*

When me and Divakar got to the meeting there was a crowd. I was kind of worried there wouldn't be a need for the two of us. It was a hot day, and I was hot. I hoped whoever was hosting this had water.

I noticed cops near by and gave Divakar a look. He nodded. The siblings shared a look, and with it a thought.

'Be on guard.'

We managed to push our way into the crowd, close enough to hear. As I bumped into someone I skillfully slipped a hand into their pocket. Feeling something that I guessed to be a necklace, I quickly shoved it in my own pocket before anyone could notice.

"Hello. My, my, all these new faces. All of you coming here I'm assuming cause of my flyer?" A man in a fancy suit said. He was sitting on the red truck, and I assumed he was the one in charge.

I also noted that he looked like he'd have something expensive in his pockets.

Divakar gave her a glance.

'We sure we want to do this?'

I nodded. I needed to prove this to him. I was ready.

The man cleared his throat. "I am a simple man, my name is Joker Ace and I am here looking for skilled individuals for a certain job. After the job is done, I have much bigger plans. And If you trust me enough after the job, perhaps you will be a part of these plans.

A officer, one who looked rather important, scoffed and laughed. "You won't find skilled individuals here," he shouted, making fun of the citizens. His squad laughed but the well dressed man seemed unbothered.

Divakar quickly put a hand on my shoulder, holding me back from going to maim the guy right then and there.

Someone sporting a dragon mask came out of the truck. They seemed to survey the group before relaxing a bit. Another masked person followed them and calmly looked over the crowd.

"Alright, so we made it here. Now what?" Someone spoke out, in the crowd.

"This job is a well paying one, those who come with me and help me will be paid well. Trust me, I'm a man of my word. You might be thinking 'why depend on me?' I have no name. No fame. Well that is true, but I am a man of action." Joker carried on.

The officer spoke out again. "I doubt your even a man!" His patrol laughed again.

Joker continued, smiling softy. "I'll prove to you my capabilities."

He held up a button and pushed it.

The silence was deafening. Then, a loud boom came from no where.

A statue, I'm guessing an important one, blew up.

Well, wasn't this exciting.

The important officer stood up, and pushed his way through the crowd. "What did you do!"

Joker pulled out a pistol.

Bang!

I watched, slightly terrified as the officer hit the ground. If he wasn't already dead, he wouldn't be alive much longer.

Suddenly the patrol started firing at us, and I had to dodge a bullet.

Joker laughed, "if you want to accept the job, hurry, hurry! And enter Big Red! This truck, we are taking off!" He yelled over the gun fire.
