 "No no no!"He was late! He always was late! Every time he tried to save someone he was always late! But, this time.... he was closer then ever before! He had a chance, right?! Of course he did! He always did! He wouldn't mess up this time! God, he was so tired of messing up. He was so sick and tired of waking up from his experiences and knowing exactly who needed his help, and yet he never was there in time! It was infuriating. All he wanted was to be useful. To save someone. To actually become something more than the man who knew too much and could do nothing about what he knew. He had been given a curse and a gift all in one, and he wanted to use it. Properly! But he couldn't! No matter how hard he tried, he never got where he needed to be. Something stopped him, halting his feet and sending him backwards instead of forwards, and he blamed Death. The being who didn't want Memento to win. The being who was irritated by his existence. But that wouldn't and couldn't stop Memento. He wanted to save someone, anyone, whether or not Death liked it. And this time, he'd do it! He had to! Today was the day!

 “Why are you running, you puss? We can take them!” Jack shouted in Tim's ear as the artist ran from the group chasing him. They had said they'd kill him if he didn't hand over his money and since he didn't have any money, Tim took off. He dogged down several streets before he saw an opening. Thinking he could just duck down the alley and get lost on the next street, Tim turned and skid to a halt. There was nothing at the end of the alley be the back of another building. Cursing, Tim turned around and found his way out blocked by the cut-throats he'd run into. “Look, guys, I don't want any trouble...” Tim started to say, holding his hands up defensively in front of himself. Jack laughed maniacally, drowning out Tim's voice and whipping around to face the people in front of them. “Hahaha you think we're afraid of your puny knives? Bring it on, asshats! I could take you all on!”If they got out of this alive, Tim was going to kill Jack. Who cares if Jack was currently living in his tail, Tim was going to find a way to kill him. He took another step back into the alley, watching the menacing group of cut-throats advancing on him. How did he get into this situation, did he really look like he had a lot of money on him? Not to mention his new look made most people avoid him. Ugh. What was he going to do! Tim looked around frantically as Jack kept taunting the group bearing down on them. “Jack! Shut up! They are going to kill us, you idiot!” Tim took a few more steps back and hit the wall that marked the alley a dead end. “s**t, s**t, s**t, s**t.”He was so dead....

Voices! He heard voices! s**t s**t s**t s**t! He needed to go faster! Luckily for Memento, he was on the top of the buildings. Probably not something he should be doing, but did it matter? Sure, it may be dangerous, but he needed to get where he needed to be, and fast. Today would be the god damn day! Just a little more.... maybe if he hadn't over-exerted his wings yesterday he may have gotten there faster by using them, but noooo, he just had to mess them up. There! He saw them! The man in his visions and the group of men! Wait... how was he going to help if he was all the way up there? There was nothing to throw, and other than the dimension hopping he didn't have any powers... Could he just leap off the building? It couldn't hurt too much, right? There was a dumpster.... an open one at that. It'd be gross, but he cared far more about the man he was here to save. Oh god, this was exciting! This was the first time he had arrived in time! Clearing his throat, he deepened his naturally soft voice as much as possible, bellowing loudly as he leapt from the roof and.... fell into the trash. "Release him, you foul mortals!"Shush. It was better than just standing there, though the feeling of hitting the trash had hurt pretty horribly. Still, the noise was loud, his voice had been deep, that was scary! He was going to kick a**! .... How did one kick a**?

Great, out of the frying pan and into the fire; what the hell was attacking him now? He should have never come here, what with the cut-throats and the monsters falling from the sky. Hell whatever had just dropped into the trash scared off a gang of murderous thieves, so it had to be worse than them, right? And Tim was still cut off from the exit.
“What the Hell kind of stupid jumps off a building and into a trashcan?” Jack hooted with laughter, swinging from side to side. “And what idiots for running away from an idiot that fell into a trashcan!” Jack swooshed, his maniacal laughter echoing in the alley.
Tim turned and jumped on his own tail, squashing the tail flat. “Shut up. You don't know what's in there. It could kill us and, if it does, I'm dragging you with me, you stupid demon.” Tim hissed, eyeing the trashcan to see what would come out of it.

Oh god, this was not the graceful descent he wanted. His poor wings were caught, and his halo was trapped under a can. The male flicked his tail wildly, squirming out of the mess. Had he saved the man?! Had he finally accomplished something? The male popped out of the trash, hair flying as he let out a gasp for air. "Pwah! God, that had not been a fun thing to do! However, when his eyes spotted a very much alive male and his bickering tail he could almost have died right then and there. He had done it. He had actually saved someone. Him. Memento. He didn't even really care that the tail was berating him, he had done something right for another person. The male leapt from the dumpster, rushing straight for the male, and rather quickly. "You are still alive!" He seized the males hands, gripping them tightly as if he couldn't imagine such a thing was so. Which, he couldn't! For once he hadn't been too late! For once, a being was still breathing before him. It felt... beautiful. It was him, Memento, who was the reason for this. Oh god, it felt.... so exhilarating! Like a rush of air! It wasn't impossible, it wasn't just some curse. He was able to save life, and this man was the proof of it.

Tim heard a lot of clanking around and saw a tail wave frantically in the air a bit and had to bite his lip to keep from giggling. For a monster...it didn't look all that scary. Then the 'monster' came up for air, and Tim did let out a soft chuckle; it wasn't a monster, it was an odd mix-match of halo and horns. That mix suddenly flew at him, causing Tim to take a step back, releasing Jack back into the wild. Tim gave the other man a slight, confused smile. Yeah he was still alive, but the other seem so earnest and ecstatic...more so than Tim thought the situation called for. "Yes, thank--""Yeah we are! Even though you tried your best to give this pansy a heart attack!" Jack said, flipping up around Tim's shoulder to eye their 'rescuer'. "You should have tried harder."Tim gently took one hand back from Memento before whipping around and pulling on Jack's tongue. "Quiet, or you lose it." He hissed, before turning back to Memento with a smile, ignoring the exaggerated pained howling behind him. "Don't listen to him, his sole purpose in life is to annoy everyone around him. Thank you so much. I thought I was a goner for sure Mr...?"

Memento finally seemed able to comprehend that he had grabbed the others hands, releasing them and instead clutching them together by his chest. His eyes rolled at the talking tail, long lashes fluttering as he did so. "Why would I want to kill him?" After all that hard work? Absolutely not! He had actually done it. He had saved someone. And Memento was too elated to really be annoyed by that tail, or bothered when its howls pierced the air. His own tail swished pleasantly, pausing when the other seemed to ask for a name. Oh! He knew this ones! Tim! He had seen it during the visions, so it was only polite to give his own name, right? "I'm Memento Mori. And you are Tim, right? Funny.... it said you had two names.... Tim and Jack? Is that.... that thing?" While Memento seemed perfectly pleased to be speaking to Tim, the point and grimace towards Jack clearly said he was already annoyed by the bugger.

Tim smiled at the cute eye roll their savior sent his tail. Honestly it was the nicest reaction that people had to Jack; usually they were a lot more vocal and it was uncomfortable sometimes being in the middle of a screaming match between a stranger and his tail. "You'd want to kill him because he's annoying. And a b***h of a landlord. So many rules. And stupid ones for that matter." Jack replied, swishing out of reach when Tim turned to glare at him. Jack stuck his tongue out tauntingly, but Tim's name being called turned his attention back to their rescuer. "Wait, what? What told you our names?" Tim frowned slightly in confusion. He hadn't put flyers for his 'shows' up in a long time, and none of them ever mentioned Jack, so what could have had both their names on it? "I mean, you're right, I'm Tim, and that 'thing' is Jack," he barely stopped himself from grinning that someone called Jack a 'thing', "but how did you know?"

Memento clearly ignored the tail. Brushing hair off his shoulder and making it a point to only look at Tim, his wings fluttering. Oh, what a wonderful question! Clapping his hands together, the male smirked quietly, eyes glimmering in amusement. "Because it's my job to know." Memento mused back, folding his wings neatly to his side. His head tilted gently, tapping his hand over each other as he watched Tim quietly. Why Tim? Why was he the only one Memento could have saved? Well, did it matter? It had happened, finally! He had done it! "I came to save you, Tim." Memento added, touching his hands together once more.

Jack puffed his cheeks a little bit and glared at the long haired male. No one just sat there and ignored him. Not for long anyway. The tail swished in irritation as he listened to the conversation. “It's your job? I don't understand, Memento, how is it your job to know our names?” Tim asked, tilting his head to the side a bit. It was a old mannerism from when he talked to the village kids and made him look far more innocent than his devil horns led people to believe. “You did save us, Memento, and I, for one, thank you. Jack may not ever show gratitude, but I certainly will. You ever need a favor, you can count on us.” Tim said with a smile. Jack chose that moment to shoot forward and lick Memento's face. “Jack!”
