[QUOTE="Jago, post: 6934277, member: 6855130"] ~ The spark of magic washed over Juno as Jaeger's hand made contact, and though he witnessed her bleed away from the world, he could still feel her presence as he struggled to keep the mysticism firmly attached to her soul. Every second left [I]Hundgeist[/I] all the more drained, struggling to connect naturally with the unnatural resonance of steel and wire. It was unnatural. [I]Hundgeist[/I] accepted it for what it was, but it was [I]unnatural[/I]. This was nothing born of spirit, of Essence, but the scientific horrors of men and their need to push boundaries. For his part, Jaeger accepted it though: he had grown up in the ADL, he had been involved in Corporate Life, he [I]knew[/I] the advantages that cyberware gave. Was it so unnatural to hurry evolution? To try and compete with the unfair advantage that magic bestowed upon the chosen few..? And yet, he also knew of his hatred for BTLs, and what were they but a means to try and compete with the wondrous sights that his Astral vision gave him? But ... no. No, they [I]preyed[/I] upon people. [I]Hundgeist[/I] was a gift when he was at his lowest. There [I]was[/I] a difference. [color=firebrick]" Alright, not much time,"[/color] he told his invisible friend, [color=firebrick]" You've got maybe five minutes once we're in the door. Make them count and then I'm dropping the spell."[/color] He was out of the [I]Insane Bolt[/I] in a flash, ignoring the fact that it appeared as though only he had exited from the back, and strode right up to the doorman. On came that charming Evening News smile, and Jaeger fell right back as if it were ten years ago. He kept his German accent, though: He still had a SIN, after all. No need to try and hide that if it would work for his advantage.
