[RL with Rose, the Bloody Hook in Kras City]

((Forward-dated to the very end of the alignment virus))

The Bloody Hook was, surprisingly enough, mostly a racers' bar. In the last year or so Jak had achieved quite a bit of fame on Kras City's racetracks, so he'd secured an out-of-the-way booth that people weren't likely to look into.

Of course, in Kras City, it was usually wise not to take an interest in anything shady in case the people involved decided to take an interest in you. Specifically in conjunction with the sharp objects that a lot of them seemed to be named after.

Jak was watching the door, waiting for Rose to arrive. He had a fairly good idea of what she'd look like from her icons, but he'd never met her in person, so he was watching carefully. Then again, anyone without the long, pointed ears that were common in Jak's world would probably be fairly conspicuous.

Rose grinned at the transformation, liking what she saw. "Nice trick. Can't wait to see it in action."

She leaned in a bit closer to get a better look at his face in the deem light. "You know," she said as she lifted a hand to lightly trace his jaw up to one of his ears. "You are much better looking in person."

Jak laughed. "Courtesy of the old Baron of Haven City. I was the only one who survived the Dark Warrior program." Being one of the line of Mar did amazing things. "Praxis was trying to create the ultimate weapon. Seems like I was a success."

He grinned at the compliment, taking hold of Rose's hand. "So," he said, "are you."

"A dark power huh?" Rose gave him a seductive smile. "That's something we both have in common."

Her smile turned into a smirk at his reply. "I know," she said, being coy with him. "Now tell me, now that we're here together, what shall we do?"

"Really... I suppose I'll have to ask for a demonstration sometime, won't I?" He returned the smile with one of his own.

Jak pretended to look thoughtful. "I don't know; did you have anything in mind?"

"And I'll be more then happy to show you," Rose said, really enjoying where this conversation might lead too.

"Oh I have some ideas," she moved a hand up his chest, feeling the muscles through his clothes. "But they all require come place more private."

"Hmm..." Jak's fingers trailed up her arm. "There are rooms upstairs. Not the cleanest in the world, but I doubt you're too picky about that. Perhaps we'll make use of them."

"I travel around a lot," Rose replied. "And you're right. I'm not very picky. Especially when there isn't much of a choice available." She leaned in and gave him a light kiss on the corner of his mouth to tease him a bit.

Jak smirked. She certainly didn't waste time.

He stood and offered her his hand in a courtly gesture. "Shall we, then? Unless you'd like to demonstrate your powers first?"

"Well, well, if it isn't Jak." Two burly figures - one tattooed with a black flame around his eye and missing most of both ears, the other with bushy eyebrows and a silver earring - sauntered over from their place at the bar.

Jak nodded at them. "Shiv. Edje. Fancy meeting you here."

"Who's your friend there, Jak?" Shiv - the redhead with the tattoos - asked.

Edje snickered in agreement. "Get tired of the mechanic girl?"

Rose took Jak's hand and got up easily. She looked at the new arrivals and arched a brow some before giving them a charming smile.

"I take it you know these fine fellows, Jak?" She asked him, without taking her eyes off the two men.

Jak nodded. "Shiv and Edje. They're on the racing circuit - they work for Razer. Gentlemen, this is Rose."

The two grinned and produced knives from somewhere. "Well, isn't it nice to meet you," Shiv drawled. "Might have to get to know you a little better, hmm?"

"'Course," Edje added, "we've got some business with Jak to take care of, first."

Jak turned to Rose. "They never learn," he said apologetically. "Perhaps now's the time for that demonstration."

"Perhaps," Rose replied with a smirk. She quickly drew her sword and lightly pressed the tip to the throat of one of the thugs. The smirk she wore became a bit more sinister. "But then again, I'm not so sure these guys are worthy of such a demonstration."

Jak nodded thoughtfully, staring at the duo's horrified expressions. "Perhaps not. I'd be obliged if you didn't kill them, though - I'd just as soon not have Razer mad enough to come after me personally. It'd be too much of a hassle; he's actually competent."

Edje, the one without a blade at his throat, dropped his knife and swallowed nervously. "Yeah. Uh. That sounds like a great idea to us. We'll just, uh, leave you guys to what you were doing, then..." He started backing away slowly.

"Aw, really?" Sounding disappointed, she lifted the blade away from Shiv's throat, leaving a small shallow cut there, but didn't sheath it just yet. "I was hoping for a bit of sport from these guys. But if it would cause too much trouble for you, Jak dear, then I'll back off."

Shiv, showing remarkably little sense of self-preservation, snickered. "'Jak dear'? I can see why he ditched the mechanic."

Jak raised an eyebrow. "I suggest you gentlemen leave before I decide that I don't care if I have to deal with Razer after all."

Edje tugged on Shiv's sleeve. "C'mon, Shiv, let's get out of here before he changes his mind. We can deal with him sometime when he doesn't have her with him."

"Now," Jak said as the two left, "where were we, dear?"

Well they were easy to deal with, Rose thought as she sheathed her sword. "I believe we were off to find someplace more private. Unless of course you want to see my abilities, then we should head off to some place where we can have a lot of action. I would hate to transform into my dragoon armor and not be able to do some damage."

"I suppose the demonstration can wait, then." Jak smirked and offered her his hand again. "Shall we?"

"You're such a gentleman," Rose returned the smirk and put her hand into his. "Lead the way."

Jak led her upstairs to an empty room and shut the door behind them. "So, just what did you have in mind, hmm?" he asked teasingly.

Rose pulled away from him and took off her gloves along with her sword belt, letting them drop to the floor. "Well first, would you mind helping me out of this armor?"

Jak grinned wolfishly. "Glad to." He moved over to help her, pulling off his own gloves as he went.

Now that was a look she liked. Returning the grin, Rose started undid the first few hooks to the thick leather armored jacket she wore, moving to meet him half way.

"Eager, aren't you?" Jak murmured. "If this isn't your Dragoon Armor, I'd hate to have to get you out of that."

"Just a little," Rose purred as she reached to grab his jacket in order to pull him closer. "Is there a problem with me being eager?" She leaned closer so that their faces were just inches apart.

"Not at all." Jak closed the distance and kissed her.

Rose returned the kiss passionately. Her hands started pushing his jacket off his shoulders.
