“What, are you supposed to be some sort of celebrity? Or is he supposed to talk about you? Whatever, no, I don’t know who you are. But it’s good I’ve finally found someone worth talking to.”
Nightmare reached within his wrapped cape, pulling a long scroll from inside and summoning a simple, purple ballpoint pen (with similarly purple ink) to his fingers, scratching something down.
“I just have been going down the list of people on Aku’s most wanted, see,” Nightmare put the scroll back into the folds of his cape, “trying to find some good help. And good help is sooo hard to find these days. But here I am, I found you, so you’ll be fine help, I’m sure.”
Nightmare, under the cover of his shades, looks Jack up and down with a keen eye. Yes.. This sure was.. A human.. Guy.. How had Aku not killed him? He looked so simple and plain.. Unless maybe under that bathrobe were some rippling muscles, then maybe Nightmare’d half understand the inability to kill him. But otherwise, he’d looked like a simple swordsman..
Not unlike..
Oh, this is a very dangerous line of logic that Nightmare absolutely, definetly wants to follow right now. The corners of his mind flare with the idea of a noble swordsman with a honorable goal to kill an evil cosmic demon, and how.. Ooh, just.. Mhmhmhm, hehehehehe..
“I’m..” Nightmare speaks without any real purpose, if only to just destroy any awkward pause, so he then tries to figure out the words after he’s already spoken the first. “Not from here. I don’t know you. Aku, I know him, he’s a pain in my side. I have an axe to grind, see, so if you want him dead, and I want him dead, I think we’ll get along swimmingly.”
