[i]A whirring noise, a black shadow on the floor - A silent hum that echoed through the area. JT had come.
The area around was simply a slim crevasse of frozen ice and snow, although above was a rather loud noise that would blow the thick blanket of white away and accompany a black rope sliding between the ancient mounds of ice. The thing making the noise was thankfully not hostile and was rather a machine moving through the sky, green blotting out the sun temporarily and giving shade to the area beneath it. The rope made its way a few feet in front of the woman, where it would stop and suspend itself three feet from the ground.
Fast-roping down the long chord was a cowboy, adorned in not a duster and hat like he would typically wear, but rather a large duster-parka hybrid and a mix between a face mask and a hat to envelope his head, JT had came to speak with the woman. He was armed only with the swords of the Dancer that he earned a year prior and his revolver, and a long lasso was on his back in case he needed to escape the thick sheets of ice. He got to the end of the rope and simply hung off the rope, feet digging into the rock with the end of the rope while his left hand gripped a rock to his side and his right hanged by his waist.
"Sup." [/i]

"...John." [i]Adela's voice rang out from the depths of her helmet, while the remainder of her facial features were hidden away by her visor. She placed her gloved hand upon her waist as she stared up at JT, a smile underneath her caged helmet and visor as once more, she spoke to the cowboy and friend. [/i] "Certainly been a bit, at least...it's felt like it. I suppose that you received the message that I had sent to you, seeing if you were alive still and if you wanted anything.. I suppose we're here on business terms? Or we're socializing?"

[i]"Life ain't worth my business solely; God gave me a capacity for friendship, but whatever you'd prefer Adela," JT said as he disengaged from the rope. The helicopter hovered in place there momentarily as it was JT's primary exit plan for when the two finished speaking. [/i]
-
"I'd prefer a social call, flrsthand." [i]She responded, staring up at the floating machine before returning her stare to the techno-cowboy which had spared her months ago. She'd stay here to chat - Adela had gone through worse.[/i]
-
[i]"Alright. So, tiny dancer, what's up?" JT asked, his trademark style of offensive humour only half-gracing his words as he spoke. After all, calling someone an Elton John song would only be an insult if one took it that way. [/i]
-
"Tiny? Nothing's really going on. Taking jobs on Tatakai, that thing." [i]Adela responded, still looking up at JT as frost melted off of her armor set. Life hadn't exactly been so exciting for her recently.[/i]

[i]"Firstly, Tiny Dancer. You never heard that song? Holy -blam!-. Secondly, yeah this place has shit contracts, nothing really goes on aside from some big world destroying shit every few months." [/i]

"I don't know what Tiny Dancer is...I don't really listen to music that much at all. It's not something that gets me in the mood, sorry. And I can tell. Mostly just assassinations and such, but a job's a job. Contracts are mostly on small gangs, none of the Dojo members. Even then, not sure if I could kill off one - if I could deal with the inevitable armada after me once I committed the deed."
