socialcapital | [ JACKSON HEART ]

Inside the tent is an incredibly beautiful statuesque woman, serving soup to hungry people while telling them up and down that this is all thanks to the Unconquered Sun and her acting on his behalf. She has a glowing circle on her forehead like Jackson gets, but instead of a disk with a dot in it it's a fully filled circle.

Behind her is an EVEN TALLER woman, buff as hell, standing with her arms crossed silently watching. She has a real bouncer vibe.

[The who? Sounds religious. Jackson said something about a sun god once... Sparrow also has forehead stuff. Guess that makes her an exalt? How common are exalts. Vision world stuff that is this different is weird.

Mmmm, wandering around the back...]

Around the back is their makeshift kitchen! It is one guy running around tending to like 20 different camp stoves. He has enormous eye bags and tattoos made out of something bright silver. He also has a raccoon tail.

[... Poking out from behind a pot]

This looks like a lotta work.

He jumps.

"There's a queue! Heading back to the kitchen won't let you skip it!"

I’m pretty healthy! This all can go to the needy, no worries~

You inta this Unconquered Sun stuff too?

"I'm just cooking, if you wanna be preached at go talk to Sky."

I was mostly hopin' ta avoid it.

"You can get preached at about the Immaculate Faith up at the temple if you'd rather. They're full of shit though obviously."

It was soundin’ pretty festive up there even though stuff seems bad in town…

"Yeah, well, they love it when they get to murder some chump who glows the wrong color."

[small grimace]

And the ladies out front are glowin' out in the open 'n feedin' people ta, um… taunt them?

"Not exactly. I don't really get the specifics of the plans, but we're relying on the fact that the Immaculates don't have the manpower to fight us and don't have the support to make up for it. Hungry people aren't gonna turn against their food source, and we're basically the only food source right now."

One guy cookin' enough for a whole town really is tough...

The one who got got wasn't the Golden-Eyed Asp, was it?

He looks a bit downcast.

"Nah. That guy's gonna outlive us all, I bet. They got the kid. Only a matter of time, he wasn't very smart, but it doesn't feel great."

Oh, ya knew 'im. Sorry ta hear...

"Only traveled with him for a little bit. He split off fast."

Still, doesn't feel great, huh? May his next life be a luckier one...

"Hard to be unluckier than he was for sure. Anyway, why are you snooping around back here?"

Ah. Just lookin' for Mr. Asp. I need his help resolvin' somethin'.

He makes a 'phew' face.

"Dunno if I'd get involved with him if I were you, between the two of us. But if you go looking he'll probably find you."

It won't be as big a deal as a whole involvement! I'll take a look around then, thanks.

"Not to sound too paranoid, but he probably already knows you're here and looking. So just keep an eye out."

Oooh, well if he drops by here first you can tell him I've got a flower for him. I'm Loren.

"Sure. I'm Issei. Don't get into trouble."
