<strong>Name:</strong>Marc<br/><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Office<br/><br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Jack, Shizuru<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Marc seemed all the more amused by the demoness' answer, even if it wasn't exactly what he was hoping to here. As tough as she thought she was (and, in all fairness, might have been), the city would let her sit on the that kind of power forever. In the end, she would either put her strength to use, and be taken apart for wasting it. The gangs in this city didn't take kindly to civilians who were too strong to subjugate normally. "We may not be as regal and flashy as we were in the past, Shizuru, but I'm sure you realize that this town has its own variety of warlords, and we're creating our own brand of feudalism here. It may not be government-sanctioned, but the peasants bow down to use, and the man with the strongest soldiers wins. You can call this set-up the Marc Dynasty if it makes you feel better," he joked.<br/><br/>The nephilim lifted up his glass again and took a sip from it, the liquid seeming to shimmer from the contact with his skin. "Either way, your debt's repaid tonight. Just give it some thought while you help me out. Maybe someday, I could give you your own district of the city to run, and you can cut all the electricity and make people live like they did in the good old days. Barring motorcycles, of course."<br/><br/>With that more or less settled, Marc turned his eyes to Jack, who seemed to be dealing with a bit of trouble, though he couldn't tell exactly what just from looking at him. Having been in prison for decades, the werewolf was one of the people he had the least information on, if only because he hadn't had the chance to do anything in the outside world for quite some time. "You've got a debt too, Jack, but getting a man like you out of prison is a lot harder than buying a run-down bar. Took a lot more money, and I didn't have to take my pants off once while setting Shizuru up," he told him somewhat sternly, though his words and his smirk made it seem like he didn't mind too much. "So, obviously, it's going to take more than a single night of work for you to be paid off. That doesn't mean we can't turn this into a real good association, though. Think you can handle being part of the gangster scene again?"
