i am a stranger in a strange land
Who: Jacob and youuuuu
When: In the morning of August 21
Where: Around the entire city, but in mostly quiet places
Summary: Jacob is being introspective and generally doing good things around the city, and is totally open to be bothered.
Warnings: G for GOD FIGURE DOING GOOD but it could vary, depending on your character.
If there's one thing that could be noted about Jacob when one sees him, it's how quiet he is.
Of course, not many people talk when they're out and about, more preoccupied with their thoughts than the people around them, but what's so odd about being around Jacob is how every sound seems to dim when one's nearby him, as if the world would rather be silent than infringe on anything he has to say.
One might notice him walking around, looking deceptively ordinary in his neat white collared shirt and black pants. And it looks like he's helping out in subtle ways- he buys an apple and hands it to a young and very grimy boy in a nearby alley, murmuring a few kind words before moving on. He rests a hand on the shoulder of a grieving mother weeping over a portrait of her son, and she stops crying- before she can even understand what happened to her, Jacob is gone.
And, maybe, just maybe, he'll approach you, smiling as if he's your long-lost father, ready to help with whatever his child needs.
After all, in dark times, don't you need a bit of hope to help yourself move on?
[ooc: Jacob is a sort of god-like figure in his canon and has powers like omniscience and a fate-changing touch, so therefore that affects his relations with the people around him a lot! Please fill out his permission post if you could! It'll help me out a lot about how much he can know about your character, thank you.]

Hello Jacob.
[He smiles a little and holds up the bar - the bottom third is ornately decorated, down to veins ten times smaller than a human hair in the leaves on the vines.]
I found this, discarded like it was trash.
[So he was making something beautiful with it.]
no subject
So you're turning it into the beautiful thing that it is. How nice.
Are you going to do the rest of it?
no subject
He slides forward a bit so Jacob didn't have to look up so much and motioned the ladder down. Magneto has pretty much claimed the fire escape for his treehouse, but Jacob can come up if he'd like.]
Yes. People don't see how useful something is if it isn't also pleasing to look at.
Or see that broken things still have a purpose.
[He nods.]
Birds at the top, I think. I'm not sure yet.
no subject
Well, some people are just quick to judge. Sometimes they take too much at face value...but that doesn't mean they can't find the beauty if someone shows them.
Birds would be good. Whatever you think is best, Erik.
no subject
And even more have no desire to listen. How many people do you find who are willing to see?
[Faith in humanity was at an all time low - the Hunts had just sunk it.
He kept working, in half inch sections.]
Not many would say that to me.
no subject
[And he tilts his head at that.]
Why not? It's your project. I'm hardly going to dictate how it should be done.
no subject
[He tilts is head a little.]
Trust isn't something most would use in the same sentence as me.
no subject
[Jacob lets out a slight sigh. Oh, Magneto. What is he going to do with you?]
Well...if it means anything, I trust you.
no subject
It does.
[He answers without looking at Jacob, while still working on the rebar, mostly to cover how much it actually means. He is aware how few people trust him and how badly that tends to end.]
no subject
[Jacob falls into his usual customary silence, watching the deign coming to shape before his eyes before he glances back at Magneto.]
How many people do you think trust you here, Erik?
no subject
Less than six.
[It's an almost automatic response, followed by a look.]
No, less than eight. Although all varying degrees of trust.
