[QUOTE="Corinthi, post: 1269894, member: 8272"] Roach kneels down by the defaced child, blood encrusted fingers reaching out to stroke the boys hair as he murmurs softly, his voice a ghost of a whisper, [color=red]"Poor child...no one to care for and watch over you. So cold, so frightened. Trembling in your sleep."[/color] Jak does tremble in his sleep, his reddish skin coated in a fine layer of sweat and filth. Fever has taken ahold of the child as he sleeps, a disease perhaps introduced by a certain wound. [color=red]"Come Jak... help me find your savior."[/color] Gathering Jak's unresisting form up in his arms, Roach carries the child through dark alleys, choked with refuse and waste, some if it human. Few seem to register the Beggar King's passage, and fewer seem willing to let it be known they noticed. Such is life in the shadow of the Empire. Gaze not into the Abyss, lest the Abyss consume you. After a brisk walk, Roach comes to a small plaza, a plaza containing one of the few working fountains left in the slum. An invaluable resource for the poor and disenfranchised, the clean water from this fountain means life for those without comfort or wealth. As he enters the plaza, his entire appearance, including mannerisms and bearing, changes. Gone is the degenerate subhuman who recently consumed a child's nose. In his place is a grimy, miserable, overweight woman, dressed in rags, with long greasy black hair and approximately four teeth. A trail of mucus hangs down from her nose and wobbles as she sobs. Clutched tightly against her oversized and sagging chest is the frail form of a child, face covered by cloth, but body visibly shaking with fever.
