MORNING RUN; ACCIDENTS/MUGGING/CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE OF MISFORTUNE!

His morning runs had taken an interesting turn after adopting the floppy-eared puppy he'd found at the workshop. Despite his odd proportions and tiny legs, Shi was determined to not only follow Jake but keep pace within during his runs. This shouldn't have caused an issue but ever since he'd stolen the motorcycle with Illyana his luck has taken an unfortunate turn.

One morning Shi took a sharp left in front of Jacob's legs, tangling them in Shi's leash before sending the both of them tumbling onto the stone sidewalk. The bruises had barely faded when Shi ran out in front of a Chocobo and Jacob had to quickly dash in front of the running creature to scoop the puppy into his arms, again, landing hard on the stony ground.

After this, Jacob stopped bringing Shi on his runs but his misfortune didn't stop there…

COFFEE/SMOKING & BIRD POOP…

A rich steaming mug of coffee was held carefully in Jacob's hand. He usually filled a larger mug but with all the accidents lately, he decided it was best not to tempt fate.

The morning had gone smoothly. He had walked Yuki to work, gone on his morning run, and, after magically avoiding any accidents, was finally on his way to work. It was a miracle that Jacob still had all of his fingers after the last few weeks but he was determined that things would get better. This absolutely wasn't an unusual circumstance that required intervention.

He turned the corner, making up his mind that this bad luck was all in his head when a bird flew overhead and pooped directly into his mug…

This wasn't his normal bad luck.

HELP! [CLOSED TO HARRY DRESDEN]

He couldn't remain in the great state of denial for too long. Not only was his bad luck affecting his daily life it was beginning to affect those around him. Eventually, Jacob had to admit that it was a curse or possibly some type of magic. It might have been cast by the city but he had a feeling that it had to do with the motorcycle. His troubles had only begun after he'd brought the magical metal contraption into his apartment.

Whatever the cause, it was time to find a cure.

This train of thought brought Jacob to the unfamiliar door in front of him. He hadn't known that there were people here who called themselves wizards but he supposed that this person could at least confirm if there was an outside magical force involved.

With a tired sign and a small puppy waddling around his feet, Jacob knocked on the sturdy wooden door. "Hello? I am looking for a wizard?" That was a weird sentence.

Comments

Jacob rolled his eyes though the more bad luck he endured, the more he thought it was truly a curse. "Sure they did." He didn't think it was the birds but maybe something else. He'd have to look into it.

"Yeah but I've never seen you out this morning. I figured you like to sleep." He had made an assumption and looked like an ass. Jacob didn't look bothered by his misstep and just kept smiling at Illyana.

Sorceresses could not like the sun.

"You never know," she said with a chuckle. It was probably unlikely, but it was going to be her new favorite theory. He would never convince her otherwise now, good luck with that.

"Maybe I haven't slept yet." That was exactly the reason she was still out: she hadn't slept yet. "Some of us work on things at night."

[brotherofagod]

That did make him wonder. "Wait. So you really don't sleep? Isn't that how people go crazy?" He had been joking but now he was a little worried. Not worried in the traditional sense, worried like 'please-don't-go-crazy-and-do-something-crazy-from-lack-of-sleep.'

Jacob knew for a fact that he couldn't take Illyanna in a fight.

[soulsword]

"What happens if you're already crazy?" she asked with the most sincere look she could muster. There were a surprisingly large number of people who would consider Illyana to be very crazy. Back home she'd heard it more times than she could count in a very small amount of time. Sometimes it surprised her that she didn't hear it more here.

[brotherofagod]

He considered it and then shrugged. "Less to do?" It was hard to remain serious. After a moment's, pause he grinned at her and shook his head. "You really are going to make me question everything like this." Jacob scratched the back of his head before glancing down the street.

"I'll be late for work at this rate. Want to lend a guy a hand?" If she's up for teleporting him to Gary's woodshop.
