OOC He likes cats, they are his friends, and besides his brothers, the only people he has, even if they aren't technically people.
IC Kai took a little longer to get done, but it wasn't long before he walked on back out to where Jace was, dressed in a long sleeved, mint green, button up shirt, with a gray vest over it, which was kind of his style, it was either that or like, sweats. "Go ahead, though try not to get into any specifics with them, I'll explain more once we're in the car, but to keep it short for now, you can't tell them about what's going on," Kai explained, kneeling down to pet one of his cats, this one was hairless and had a bit of a big head. "Hey Al," Albert but Kai had nicknames for all his cats. There was Eddie, Hawk, Mar, Frank, Al, Stein, Leo, and Newt. "I'm may be gone a bit," he explained as a few of the other cats started to crowd around him, pushing poor Albert away, the other cats were kind of mean to him.
Kai ended up sitting down, crossing his legs as he basically got surrounded by cats. "Oh, yes I'm going to miss all of you too, but I'll get Ms. Lamuer to feed all of you, and clean out your litter boxes, and give you treats too," he explained, not knowing how long they'd be gone but he was certain it wouldn't be a short time.

γγ OOC γγ Cats are people too. He's such a cutie.
γγ IC γγ At least a little cheered up by the fact that he could actually call his parents, Jace fumbled with his phone as he dialed their number. It rang, and rang, until eventually his mother picked up. He smiled, though it disappeared as it became obvious that she was less than happy to hear from him. Apparently she was in the middle of a meeting. He only talked for a bit, said that he loved her and she promptly hung up. Feeling a little disappointed, he stuck his phone in his pocket and smiled weakly at Kai and his cats. "Okay. We can go now."

OOC Ah true, sometimes when I refer to animals as people, people correct me and so I'm never sure on where people stand on that, heh. Also I'm very tempted to draw Kai with all his cats.
IC Kai looked over at him from his place with the cats. He paused, noticing how...upset Jace seemed to be. "You know...we don't have to go right now, soon yes, but we've got a few minutes, wanna come sit by me and the cats for a minute? Most of them are pretty friendly...Eddie is definitely the most friendly, and uh, they're real good for cheering people up," he explained, picking Edison up and showing him to Jace, smiling up at him.

γγ OOC γγ I understand. That's happened to me, too. But yeah, I consider animals to be people. Dogs, cats, hamsters, pretty much every animal. :3
Aw, Kai with all his cats. That would be cute.
γγ IC γγ At the idea of holding a cat, or many cats, Jace's expression brightened and he made his way over to Kai. Taking a seat beside of him, he took Edison gently from the man and held him close, snuggling him. "You're such a cute kitty," he cooed softly and he petted him, running his fingers through his soft fur. "So... Where do you work, Kai? Is it some place cool?" He was imagining a cool workplace, like a videogame store or zoo. Those would both be cool, though he had no idea why Kai's boss would need to meet him.

OOC Same, and it always confuses me when people are just like "no they're not" and it's just easier not to get into an argument about it all.
There would be so many cats to draw. XD
IC Edison pawed at Jace's face again, his paws were soft and big, bigger than the other cats, it was a miracle he didn't trip on them. "Eddie seems to like you a lot, he only touches people's faces when he likes them," Kai explained, temporarily avoiding the question as he wasn't sure if he should tell, but...he was taking Jace there anyways, he might as well. "Um, as for my work...I'm...well I'm a spy, to put it simply," Kai explained as he picking a big brown Manx up, this one was Franklin.

γγ OOC γγ Yeah, I know what you mean. It's usually better not to argue-----I don't typically argue with people, even if we have different opinions.
Kai has so many cats and it's so cute.
γγ IC γγ "I like Eddie, too. He's a sweetheart," Jace cooed in reply, though he was mostly looking at the cat while he said it. He wanted to ask Kai if they could take all the cats with them, but he knew that wasn't possible. When Kai told him what his job was, he took a moment to think about that. A...spy? Kai was a spy? One of those secret, government spies? That was...strange. "That's so cool! I wish I could be a spy. I work cashier at a grocery store-----sometimes the nice lady owns the store lets me take home cakes and cookies." With a smile, he asked, "What do you spy on?"

OOC Same tbh.
His cats are his friends and he absolutely adores each and every one of them. Fair warning though, the second he sees a kitten on the streets or any cat that needs a home, there's a 90% chance he will take it home with him.
IC "Well, honestly I'm usually more of an inventor...sort of, I make devices and such," Kai explained, shrugging slightly. "But sometimes I'm allowed to go on missions if there's no one else in the area available. But I'm not out in the field very often, though I help invent a lot of the stuff that people in the agency use while they're out fighting," he explained, glancing down at the watch on his wrist, they really did need to get a move on soon.

γγ OOC γγ Jace would definitely be the same way if he wasn't such a mama's boy. Every time he brings an animal to his apartment, his mom is like "nope" and makes him give it away.
γγ IC γγ "An inventor! That's so neat. I wish I was smart enough to invent things. Like cool wristwatches and phones in all those spy movies," Jace said, talking quickly with excitement. He was kind of swooning over Kai right now and how cool he thought he was. Then, remembering-----surprisingly-----that they had some place to be, he blinked. "Oh. Didn't we have somewhere to be? Are we going to be late?"

OOC Oh poor Jace.
IC Kai nodded, standing up from his cat pile. "Let's go, I have to stop by my neighbor's apartment though, because I'll have to ask her to feed my cats for me while I'm gone, in case we're gone for long," he explained, making his way over to the door as he slipped his shoes on and looked over at Jace. "You ready to go?" He questioned, beginning to open the door.

Post by cΞΉnnaΠΌon roll on Jun 17, 2017 18:34:15 GMT -5
γγ OOC γγ Yeah. He just doesn't know how to say "no" to anyone, especially his parents.
γγ IC γγ Jace nodded and smiled, as it seemed he had...already forgotten what he had been upset about. He remembered being upset and sad a few minutes ago, but that was it. He made his way over to Kai and stepped out of the doorway, glancing around the hall. Instead of asking how long they would be gone, he instead turned his attention to the wall, where there was an old painting on the wall of a sailboat. It wasn't very pretty or nice, but he seemed to like it quite a bit. "What a pretty painting."

OOC I can see it, Jace is such an adorable sweetheart, I can see him having a hard time saying no to people.
IC Kai went across the hall to knock on the door across from him, and after some noise coming from inside, a tall girl with tan skin and light brown, curly hair answered. "Hey there Kai, glad you finally took me up on my offer to come visit," she said rather flirtatiously.
Which in turn went right over his head. "Sorry Ms. Lamuer, no I didn't, I have to leave for a bit and I don't know when I'll be back and I was hoping you could take care of my cats for me," he explained and the girl huffed slightly that Kai just didn't seem to get it.
"I've told you before to call me Tina," she told him quickly. "But sure I guess, I love your cats anyways," she said and glanced past Kai to Jace. "Who is your friend?" She questioned almost suspiciously.

γγ OOC γγ Yep. He's a softie and a pushover, but at least he's a genuinely nice guy.
γγ IC γγ Jace turned away from the painting at the sound of Tina's voice, grinning over at her happily as moved to stand beside of Kai. Not noticing how suspicious the woman was, he hugged Kai-----in a friendly way, as he did with many people-----and laughed. "I'm Jace. Jace Carreau, nice to meet you. Kai let me stay in his apartment," he said, just being kind and social. "He has so many nice cats and he's a lot of fun! Are you his friend? You're very pretty."

IC Tina smiled back. "Thanks, Jace, was it?" She asked but moved quickly on. "I didn't know you let anyone stay at your place, Kai, and he's definitely not one of those brothers of yours. Didn't realize you swung that way..." she trailed off and although it took him a minute, Kai did catch on and his eyes widened slightly.
"What? Oh, no. It's not like that. I'm straight-" Kai you poor confused boy. "No, um. He couldn't go home last night and he's...a friend, that's, no. Um anyways, thank you, for feeding my cats. We'll get out of your hair now...metaphorically speaking of course...we're not actually in your hair..." Kai trailed off for a moment, glancing at the ground before clearing his throat. "Right, let's go," he said, taking a rather large step away.

γγ OOC γγ
γγ IC γγ Swing that way? Straight? Jace, being a sheltered kid, had never really heard anyone use those terms before. He had no idea what he would classify himself as, just knew that he pretty much loved everyone. Didn't really matter whether they were a man or woman, he never paid that much attention. "Oh-----" Jace said as Kai quickly said goodbye and led them away, waving at Tina. "Bye! Have a nice day!" When Kai moved away from Jace, he frowned a little, though didn't say anything. Was Kai mad? When they reached Kai's car, he asked excitedly, "Can I sit in the front?"

IC Kai nodded to him, unlocking the black, old jeep to let them both in. You'd think that with his job, he'd have a cool car, but nope, he had a really old, black, jeep. "Go ahead," he told him as he got in the driver's seat. It was a little frustrating, people had asked him before, if he was straight or not, which was a little annoying because he wasn't sure what lead on to them believing that.

γγ OOC γγ
γγ IC γγ Happily, Jace hopped into the front seat and buckled up, looking excited and rather happy, even if Kai was acting a little strange. "I had lots of fun at our sleepover. Can we have another one sometime?" He asked, looking from Kai, then out all of the windows, so curious and oblivious to everything. He was just a little ball of sunshine at the moment, even though the situation was pretty bad and awkward at the moment.

OOC Jace is such a sweetie.
IC Kai glanced over at him. "Well, we'll see, but right now we have other things to think about," he explained as he drove off. Mentally preparing himself for this, though he could already tell that this was not going to be fun. (Wanna skip to when they get there?)

γγ OOC γγ He really is though. He's just a ray of sunshine all of the time.
γγ IC γγ Jace hadn't stopped being so excited and happy the entire trip to Kai's workplace, admiring all the buildings and people walking on the streets and all of the cute animals they passed. When they finally did arrive, he made a little gasping noise and put his hands on his face. "It's so pretty. What a pretty building you work in," he said kindly, then grinned over at Kai. "Do I get to go inside, too?" Most of the time, his parents left him in the car with their chauffeur, which wasn't much fun at all. He really wanted to look around with Kai, since it sounded like fun.

OOC Sorry for poofing.
IC Kai parked and began to get out of the car, feeling more and more anxious as he did so. "Yeah Jace, you can come in," he told him, waiting for Jace to get out before he started inside the building, walking up to the lady by the front desk. It looked like just a plain office building, which was exactly what it was supposed to look like. "Hi Hannah," he started and the girl looked up at him as Kai tried not to act too nervous. "Is Patricks in?" He questioned and gestured towards Jace. "I uh, I need to talk to him," he explained.

γγ OOC γγ
γγ IC γγ Patricks? Who was that? Was it a friend of Kai's? Jace hoped so, he liked meeting Kai's friends and they'd been so nice to him so far, like that girl at his apartment. He stood beside of Kai patiently, not touching the man because he didn't want to make him feel awkward again, and smiling at the receptionist lady. "Hello," he greeted her kindly and waved. "You look pretty. How are you?"

IC Hannah gave a small smile at that. "Why thank you, you know, I curled my hair today and I was hoping someone would notice," she began and Kai cleared his throat.
"Hannah, where's Patricks? This is urgent, it's about the missing people," Kai explained quickly and Hannah nodded, holding up a finger for a second as she looked back to her computer.
"He's in his office, though I wouldn't disturb him, he is not in a good mood today," she began but Kai had already taken off once Hannah had told him where exactly Patricks was.

γγ IC γγ "It's very pretty. I don't see why everyone doesn't notice," Jace said sweetly, just being his usual self, until Kai began to walk off. "Have a nice day!" He called to the woman before hurrying after Kai, wobbling a little, as he was a bit dizzy since waking up. He caught up with Kai and smiled at him. "That lady was very nice and pretty. I hope we can be friends, too."

IC "Hannah's nice," Kai agreed a bit absentmindedly as he walked down the hall, entered an elevator, and waited until Jace was in before hitting the highest flood and waiting patiently as the elevator music played, then when they were finally on their floor, he hurried out, weaving around people as they walked through the hallways, then finally once he got to a door that lead to the office, he looked back to Jace. "Okay, this is where my boss is, we're both going to go in there but I need you to leave all the talking to me, okay?" He questioned.

γγ OOC γγ
γγ IC γγ Hannah was, in Jace's opinion, very nice and pretty, so she must be a good friend to have. As Kai explained where they were going, and that Jace should let him do all the talking, the man gave a bright smile and nodded. "Okay! I'll let you talk and I'll be as quiet as possible," he declared happily. He was actually rather familiar with this kind of situation from when he had been a child. His parents would be busy and have to bring him to their meetings or workplaces as a toddler or little kid. They would tell to be very quiet and he would smile and do as they told him. It had never been fun, but he hated disappointing people, so Iof course he would listen.

IC Kai nodded at that and then knocked, waiting for the go ahead before he walked in. "Sir," he greeted as he walked over to a tall man, with dark brown, graying hair, slicked back and a disapproving scowl on his face. "Walters, what are you doing here, and who is that?" The man questioned, gesturing his head to Jace and Kai let out a nervous chuckle, glancing back at Jace for a moment before looking back to Patricks.
"Well, you see...remember how I was out on that mission and I was only supposed to watch-" he was then promptly cut off by Patricks, who glared at him in deep disapproval.
"You rescued him, didn't you? Must I remind you that you were only supposed to watch, you were not supposed to engage," he said before diving into a long, angered, lecture.

γγ IC γγ Jace shrank back a little at the sound of the man's furious, scolding words as he lectured Kai rather loudly. It made Jace feel awful and so guilty, because he knew this was about him and Kai wouldn't have been in trouble if it hadn't been for him. Staying very quiet and standing awkwardly in the back of the room, Jace rubbed at his arm with his free hand and-----ow. It kind of hurt. Looking down at his arm, he saw a very deep, dark purple bruise beginning to form and blinked. How had that gotten there? He touched it carefully and winced, then dropped his arm and tried to pull his sleeve down. It was probably best not to mess with it.

IC Patricks continued to go on, telling Kai that he had already messed up before and that he had messed up again, that he was supposed to only watch and that was that, and that he shouldn't have against orders. Kai just took it, slumping a little bit more each time he insulted him in a way, then finally he began to start about something else, and Kai had to interrupt.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I know I mess up, but I do what I feel is right. My father always-" he was once again cut off by his superior.
"Your father is the only reason you got the job that you did, and now, he's dead, and I'm in charge, don't mess up again," he ordered and Kai looked down, no longer having anything to say.

γγ OOC γγ
γγ IC γγ Jace knew he was supposed to be quiet and stay out of the conversation, but seeing the look on Kai's face was enough to make him risk this man's fury. He held up a hand slowly, trying to get Patrick's attention. "Um, excuse me, sir," he began to speak quietly and politely. "But... Shouldn't you be happy that he was able to save a potential witness?" The way he spoke, for once, actually sounded intelligent and not like someone who forgot just about everything they saw. Unfortunately, he didn't remember much about the night before, but he was still a witness to whatever it was that had happened.

IC Patricks looked over to him, a little surprised that he spoke up. "He was supposed to observe, so we could find out where they were taking these people, then we could have worked out a plan on infiltrating and getting everyone that was taken out. Saving one life when he could've helped save plenty was not something he was supposed to do," he informed, voice like ice before he finally turned his gaze back to Kai. "Bring him back to wherever you found him, go back to your expertise, and we'll take it from here," he ordered.
"But sir, Jace could still be in danger, I got this phone call today-"
"That's enough. I don't want to hear about this again, now, do as your told before we find somewhere else to put you, out of our way," Patricks ordered and Kai fell quiet, knowing what that meant. He couldn't be burned, he'd loose his cats, his job, his brothers. So he just nodded and started to the door.
"Come on Jace," he said, waiting for the other man by the door. Patricks had been in a bad mood to start with and Kai had undoubtedly made it worse.

γγ IC γγ But Jace didn't leave, not yet, though he hoped he wasn't risking Kai's job by doing this. He just wanted to help and repay Kai for helping him. "Um, sir? I'm sorry to keep bothering you," he started off by apologizing, staring at his feet, then looked up with a small smile. He'd thought of a plan that he thought was pretty clever, though Jace was certainly not smart or clever in most ways. "But I have an idea. Those people will probably try to take me again, don't you think? Why not just let them take me and follow them that way?" Jace looked rather hopeful, although it was a bad plan for him-----he was going to get hurt, probably, but he didn't seem to realize that.
