What does the Hooded Man do when he's not tormenting people and in general being utterly terrifying? Oh a dozen or so rumors and stories have spread about who he was behind the hood, none of which came near the truth. The truth was Jason's life outside the murder was rather mundane, he had his job, which aided in his extra activities, no one expected investigative reporter Jason Allenger was the Hooded Man.

Today Jason was out and about, interviewing the common citizens of the city, both for his job and to scout out potential targets. He'd flash a charming smile and draw them in for the questions about what they thought of the city upon their arrival.

So far all the people he'd interviewed so far could be defined with a single word, boring. They were dull, unimaginative, all together not worth his time, but it was his job, and blending in allowed him to continue his special hobbies.

Then something caught his eye, or rather, someone, a woman to be exact. Now Jason had a sharp mind, sharp eyes and he could already tell this woman was more interesting than all the sheep he'd talked to today. Turning he gave her a smile, not his usual fake, but incredibly convincing, charming one, instead one that had a bit of his true self in it. Yes, a bit of the predator, a bit of the madness, a bit of the Hooded Man, "hello miss, could I possibly have a bit of your time?"

Tonight was a quiet night for River. Or at least, she wasn't hunting tonight. In fact, it was the first time she'd really had a chance to explore the island in this phase other than her first night and classes. Fighting that werewolf had really done a number on her - she was fortunate that people were sometimes easier prey than animals or she'd be starving by now.

Besides being cooped up in a dorm room with nothing to do was more aggravating than the pain. And she had been hurt because of her reckless male impulses before. Nothing quite as bad as being half clawed to death, but she'd had some pretty bad injuries. Usually in worse places. She wasn't surprised considering the kind of prey he usually attracted and the methods he used to feed off them. But she really wished that they had more self-control - hopefully, they could buy an aging charm and that would open up new avenues.

Either way, it had been a few days since she had shifted phases, and she refused to let her injuries stop her from enjoying herself. It was a lovely night out, perfect for some simple exploration. That shouldn't be too strenuous. She threw on some comfortable clothes that covered up the claw marks, not because she was ashamed of them, but more because she was still annoyed at herself for having them.

When the man stopped her with his question, River was going to brush him off thinking he was either going to talk about religion, try to sell her something, or both. But something in his smile intrigued her. She smiled back letting her fangs show. "That depends - what do you want it for?"

Oh that smile, fangs were common here, but that smile already made her more interesting than all the others. "Oh just to satisfy one of the greatest things we sentient beings have....curiosity." As he spoke, his shined with not only a bit of said curiosity, but also the shine of a predator, just a little something he hoped she picked up on. "I'm a reporter, and as such, I enjoy interviewing newcomers on their opinion of the island."

He didn't pull out a notebook, or any recording device, no this interview would be for his benefit. "So, to start off, may I ask for your name?" the door to whatever would follow would be opened, "and if you dont mind, why you came to Manta Carlos, and what you think of its people."

If Jason were to answer the questions honestly, he'd say that the island was hunting grounds and the people his prey or playthings. He was curious as to what category this woman would fit into, or if she'd be something else.
