Within the city of Shibuya late at night rested the sounds of silence as most of its people were resting at this time. On top of one of Shibuya's many buildings was a shadowy figure who gazed out upon the city and flashed a dark grin as the figure eyeballed its next target. That figure was none other than the notorious Shadow Jackal of Inaba, a male who has been all over the news for eight years now. Equipped with his grappling hook and duffle bag, the raven-haired male proceeded to move on the rooftops, jumping each one as he moved closer towards his target. It was now or ever, the male thought. Once the Shadow Jackal believed he was close enough to the targeted building, he took out his grappling hook and fired at a vent. The second it was hooked to the vent, the male had it reel him in until he was on the other rooftop. Letting out a small chuckle, the Shadow Jackal moves to unhook his tool from the vent and begins to undo the screws with ease... it was finally time to start stealing the goods. Entering the vents was easy as well as locating the security room in which the male easily knocked out the guards and cameras to proceed. Seeing his targets (Some prized gems and priceless crown), the Shadow Jackal quickly snatches the items and tosses a calling card right where the crown was but one card wasn't going to be enough. Taking out some black spray cans, he quickly sprays his emblem everywhere near the crime scene and begins to make his exit. This outta scare everyone in Shibuya, he believed.
Outside the building was yet another thief but this one already appeared out of breath... perhaps he was rushing over to the museum? Whatever the case may be, the other male began to regain his breathing until he takes notice of the Shadow Jackal exiting the building. "What the fuck?!" shouted the skull-masked thief as his eyes watched the raven-haired male. Once the Shadow Jackal returned to the other building, he began to admire his work until he hears stomping close to him. Did someone spot him? Regardless, his gold hues look over at the other male and he gives an unamused look as the skull-masked thief speaks up. "Hey! What the f, man?! This was my spot!" The raven-haired male only raised a brow as he turned to face the other and gives a small shrug before responding, "Oh I'm sorry, Princess. I don't see your name here, kid. As far as I'm concerned, it's anymore's game... plus I made it here first so... go find somewhere else."
"Kid?! I am not a kid! I am a proud member of the infamous Phantom Thieves of Hearts!! I'm not someone to be messed with!" yelled the other thief as he held out his left hand, giving a glare that demanded the Shadow Jackal to hand back what was stolen. "Hand over that loot, asshole! I had my eye on it first!" The name of the skull-masked male's group didn't faze the raven-haired male... instead, he laughs before moving close to the other and leans in. He was quite the smug one. "Pretty sure you're younger than me, kid... second, your group doesn't ring a bell so I don't give a shit. Third, I found it first, not you... so you're shit out of luck." Without hesitation, the male snatches off the other thief's mask and backflips to gain distance between the two. The older male lets out a smug chuckle as he spins the mask in his gloved hands, "Never mess with the Shadow Jackal, kid. You want the loot so bad? You'll have to take it from me." The blonde couldn't believe what just happened and was completely caught off-guard by the older male's sudden move... but it pushed him off the edge too. The other thief's face was practically red from anger as he shouted at the Shadow Jackal, "You effn' bastard!! I need that!"
All of the sudden, the blonde takes out a bludgeon and begins to charge at the older male which causes the Shadow Jackal's eyes to widen. Not many choices were laid out for him as he wasn't looking forward to taking out his weapons so the older male takes out his cell phone and snaps a photo. Blackmail is the next best option, he thought. "You attack me and I can show the police this picture... pick your poison." The blonde quickly stops in his tracks as he felt his blood boiling... this male was making him beyond pissed and he wanted to knock the Shadow Jackal's head clean off but evidence was the last thing he wanted to be handed over to the police. "You blackmailing motherfucker!?! Don't play dirty like this!" The raven-haired male only smirks as he places the mask into his duffle bag, "Blackmailing to ensure my safety... nothing wrong there, kid. Now... your mask will be staying with me unless... you wish to bargain? I've got all the time in the world."
"NO! That's how I summon my Persona, dipshit! You can't take it!!" The blonde only groans loudly in frustration as he thinks through his options... seems like he can only play along until his mask was returned to him, "What you do want?!" The raven-haired male smirks as he thinks up an idea for the other male, "My home isn't too far from here and I need it cleaned up. I would have a maid come by but I rather not have a girl go through it. You do that, you'll get your mask back... and perhaps some of the items I stole as well.~" The blonde only felt his blood pressure go up more as he spat back at the other male, "Are you effn' serious?! I'm a thief! Not some damn maid!! You must be a fucking idiot if you think I'm going to go all Ms.Doubtfire on your house!!" That wasn't the response the Shadow Jackal wanted so he only huffs as he begins to walk away, "Then the mask stays with me. Good luck trying to summon your Persona without it." The other male starts to go after him slowly, trying to keep the other talking so he doesn't run off, "How about you keep the loot and I just get my mask back, huh?" The older male raises a slight brow and scoffs at the petty bargain, "And where's the fun in that, kid?" The Shadow Jackal yawns slightly as he slightly waves a hand as if to dismiss the younger male, "Why don't you go just run back to your little 'team'? I'll be taking my leave." With that, the Shadow Jackal begins jumping the rooftops back to the train station in order to hitch a ride back to Inaba.
Noticing how quick the other takes off, the blonde quickly chases after him and yells at him to stop as the blonde wasn't done chatting with him. By the time the raven-haired male reaches the train station, the cabin was all set to move so when the blonde lands on top of it, it begins to take off towards Inaba. Their heated argument begins to calm down as they start to talk about their leaders which lead to the blonde bringing up the idea of working together. With a soft nod, the Shadow Jackal gives out his code name which instantly catches the blonde's attention. "Shadow Jackal?! DUDE! My leader talked about you before! I think he said he ran into once or something like that...!" Hearing that caused the older male to rub the back of his head and lets out a quiet sigh as he hands the blonde's mask back, "My memories go every now and then but I'm sure I met him then... Guess I shouldn't be messing with you either if that's the case." The blonde's a bit taken back by the raven-haired male's gesture but gladly takes his mask back, quickly questioning why it was handed back. The older male explains how his actions were childish but quickly asks if the blonde could act as a representative of sorts towards of his team. The two reach a mutual agreement and the blonde finally decides to give out his code name, "By the way, I'm Skull."
"Skull... gotcha. Though, since it's just me and you... the name's Ishihara Keiki. Now... the base isn't too far from here. It's across from Junes." With that, Keiki proceeds to jump the rooftops yet again towards the base as Skull follows behind him, trying to keep up with the best of his abilities. "Well, I ain't tellin' you my real name yet. Sorry but you gotta earn that." Skull looks around the town and pouts slightly, shaking his head no, "Geez... this place looks so pitiful. Nothing like the city I'm from."
