Thread: Neon (1x1 WilyRily & Niksis)

So far, tonight had proved to be just another one in a long series of cold and boring nights. The city of New England had seen relative peace after the government had enacted a series of, at the time, controversial rules. And as much as some might disagree with them, they had shown results. Crime had gone down to as close to zero percent as you can ever get. All thanks to the Peacekeepers and the Judges enforcing these rules. Rules that they were drilled into knowing by heart and enforce. Some parts of the great Institution of Law, the Institution charged with overseeing these rules knew that places like The Junebug existed. However the people who frequented these sort of places had kept their anti-government attitudes secret, so they didn't interrupt the peace. A necessary evil, some of the higher ups had decided. An evil that had to exist to keep the peace. Peacekeepers like Jonas patrolled the street every night, checking ID's and making sure that everyone could sleep tightly, knowing that Jonas and his kind was keeping them safe at night. They usually moved in pairs, however a recent uprising in the factory district had robbed Jonas of his partner. Not that he minded much, he liked the quiet of the night. And unlike many of his fellow Peacekeepers, Jonas was less... strict than some of the others. While he had to enforce the law, he had been known by some to be more lenient of people who had forgotten their Curfew clearance. A minor offense in his mind, not something worth prison time. Luckily for him, the Peacekeeper uniform was made of much finer material than normally used, they were, after all, representing the Institution of Law and thus, needed to carry themselves as such. Wearing a fine ornate vest underneath a thick woolen coat, complete with the hat marking him as a Peacekeeper, Jonas continued down the street. That was when he saw her, a young civilian who seemed cold and in a hurry. He checked his pocket watch before putting it back away, Still a few hours to curfew. he said to himself quietly before a smile formed on his lips. Excuse me miss! He called out to the young woman wearing nothing but a white tank top and a pair of green shorts. As much as some people hated Jonas and his ilk, they were of the belief that they were helping society, that the Peacekeepers were here to help the people of New England. As such, Jonas began to walk towards Dylan with a slight quickening of his steps. I'm sorry miss. Hold up! he called again as he slowly moved closer. He had no intention of scaring her off, he simply wished to borrow her his coat and escort her to wherever she was going, a chivalrous act for sure, one that often got misinterpreted as an attempt for a Peacekeeper to arrest a civilian. All the while, Jack Kerry, the young rebel and heart breaker was already well on his way at spouting his rhetoric, making sure everyone knew just how bad 'The Man' was and how much better New England would be without them. Only stopping to smile and flirt with the odd woman walking past him. If Jack was anything, it was charismatic. And as much as some of the guests didn't fully agree with Jack, they couldn't help but listen to his words. If anything, he was passionate about his beliefs.
