[open/closed] i want disaster, i don't want to sleep
Who: Hickey & OPEN
When: early September
Where: Gloucester, around the ADI complex
Summary: Hickey comes into his own asthe Hunt's bitch a newly Entity aligned.
Warnings: Threats of violence, stalking, just general creepy behavior, will edit as needed
closed to Eda, the inciting incident
ADI has been asked to keep an eye on Dogtown, beefing up patrols and recording paranormal activity while not entering inside. One of those people who's been asked to patrol is Hickey—which is a shame as Hickey is fundamentally lazy. He's leaning against a tree, not doing much work, ignoring the world around him (and unfortunately ignoring the shifty-looking teenager who's been eyeing him for the past few minutes, fully intent on stealing his wallet).
He only perks up when he hears someone else enter his area. He looks around before a wide grin spreads across his face. Eda. He likes her, even if he wishes she could be a little more upfront about the whole owl monster thing.
"Here for a visit?" he asks, shitty grin on his face. "Or did ADI drop you off here to play security guard as well?"
later on, open
This? This is fucking phenomenal. It's exactly what he wanted when he first heard of these Entities, exactly what he wanted from tuunbaq all the way back on the ice. He's more than just Cornelius Hickey. He's something better. Something new. And as far as he's concerned? He's more than happy to help the Hunt out as long as he gets what he wants.
He tests out his new gifts in all sorts of different ways. He follows people as they walk through busy areas, seeing just how long he can tail someone before they realize he's there—and the adrenaline rush he gets when they pick up the pace or double-back to try and lose him feels better than any drink he's had. He actually does his job helping to patrol the borders of Dogtown, slipping into the park more often than not. And when he's back at his apartment, back at the ADI complex itself? He'll just sit somewhere and stare at someone or something, taking in all the new details, scents, noises that he never knew before.
It is all intensely creepy.

"But if other people try... I do wanna see how that goes for them."

Eda has no idea if that's his main reason, but there's only so nosy she actually wants to be.
no subject
That isn't his main reason. But like hell he's telling Eda his main reason.
no subject
Which isn't the main reason she wants to go back, but she's not telling him that either. It's a very productive conversation all around. But then, she does think she's right about the part she's saying.

"In that case, I hope in the end they give us a choice."
no subject
But if the choice exists and the ADI try and withhold that from anyone? She's not above burning this place to the ground. Just because she thinks working with them for now is the best plan doesn't mean she trusts a single authority figure.
