Jasher was sitting on the balls of his feet, in a secluded corner of the Tower. A small shrine was made in front of him. It bore the Hunter symbol, and a broken knife was laying on the ground. A few Orbs of Light were on the ground, too. What looked like a giant bug was beside the knife. It was more of a dried out husk, actually. He stood and picked up the knife, walking to the edge of the platform. Jasher held his hand out and let it fall.
"Goodbye, old friend..."

A Titan walks by, on the comms with another doctor. "So it works? How do we know?" "We tested it. Goblins, thralls, a guardian... You're a genius, Dr. Callahann." "Hey, don't give me all the credit, you had a hand in this too. Your agents recovered that material from the taken blights." "I have to go, will call later, yes?" "Sure, Dr. Sigorov. Great work." He ended the call, and did a fist pump as he went by the memorial.

Immersed in his boredom, he took deep soothing breaths as the wind flew across his face and flapped with his cape. Looking down, he noticed the knife fall, descending as if someone had miserably dropped a pebble into a lake. He looked to the source of the drop, to find a mournful-looking fellow hunter. "Uh, everything OK dude? You dropped your knife by the way"
-
"It isn't mine."
-
"Really? Huh. So uh... Who's is it then? Wait, its not mine is it?!" "Ok phew, it's not. I don't really know why you'd throw my life--I mean--knife off the tower anyway, but still. I'm bored as hell right now"
-
"It's...a friend's. He won't need it anymore."
-
Jaden's eyes narrowed at the relpy. "Oooh okay, I get it. You've got that sad look about you. Not to mention the hunter memorial and motes of light over there. Very inventive and artistic by the way, I like it!" "So uh. Who was he/she/it?"
-
"He was my partner for a while. He was Taken."
-
"Whoa whoa wait. Wait. Wait... Wait..." "Guardians can become taken?! Holy shit, I need to get out more. Damn, uh sorry dude, whatever your name is. I thought that was the one advantage we had over those slimy buggers! But regardless that just sounds plain harsh. Evil in fact. Jeees..."
-
"Yeah. Enough of that stuff pumped in you and you just turn."

Edited by Moot: 12/9/2015 10:48:12 PM"Harsh indeed. I wish I could say that I know how you feel, but the truth is, I don't" Jaden leaned against the railings, still looking distantly out to the urban horizon. "Personally I've never lost anyone close to me. Not permanently at least. Reckon it's because I'm too young still. My favourite floofer thinks that I'm technically 19, which is awesome sometimes and terrible at others. Heh, I wish he was here... And I don't mean he's dead. He's just away right now. Somewhere out there..." "And I bet your partner is still out there too, in a way. Or maybe he's up there and looking down at you in approval" He patted Jasher on the back.

"You don't know what happens, do you? When they Take a Guardian?"

Edited by Moot: 12/9/2015 10:50:37 PM"No, because I'm young and morally blind and ignorant. And I accept that about myself. I mean, until just a moment ago, I didn't even know guardians could be taken. That floofer I mentioned though, Switch-5: he sure as hell would know though. I wouldn't care enough to listen though, because I'm shit like that to him. But I love 'em anyways"
-
"I have no clue what a 'floofer' is. Anyway, it's still my friend, but bent Oryx's will."

Edited by Moot: 12/10/2015 12:23:30 AM"Really? You don't know what floofer means? Dude, do you even hunter? Floofer is a Warlock, because, y'know... They floof" "They blink too but that's getting into pedantic territory. I am truly sorry about your friend though. I didn't know him, but I doubt he deserved even part of that fate" "Anyway, it's getting late and I can hear a full whisky bottle calling my name in the distance somewhere, so I'm gonna head off. Nice talking to ya" And with that, Jaden paced off to another area of the tower.
