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.]

[When Jacob settles next to him on fire escape, Magneto relaxes a little, his shields even lowering, softening.]

And even more have no desire to listen. How many people do you find who are willing to see?

Not many would say that to me.

I've always found the opposite.

[He tilts is head a little.]

Trust isn't something most would use in the same sentence as me.

[At least he said people and not Humans?]

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.]

[He continues working, enjoying quiet company.]

Less than six.

[It's an almost automatic response, followed by a look.]

No, less than eight. Although all varying degrees of trust.
