The bird was... someone he supposed. No one he had heard of, but that didn't mean anything. A mail carrier? Why the hell would a mail carrier be nice to him? How would a mail carrier have any money?
"Who?" Conway repeated. "Who am I?" His voice raising as he looked at the man with wide and terrified eyes. He took several steps back and shot a glance around the the area. People were everywhere. Some were ignoring the pair, others were watching.
He decided to raise his voice, still Sabe could only hear it, but maybe he would take a hint. "That's a good question. Who am I? I am a man who is nothing and everything. I have no true face, no true name, and nothing to call my own. I had everything once, and then it was taken away from me in one night. No family to call my own. I can't stay in one place because all I do is bring horrible misfortune with each step. I can be anyone I want but myself. What does that make me? Who does that make me? Who I am is no one! What I am is nothing!"
Conway paused, lowering his voice to a normal level. "But if you're asking my name it would take more than an offer of food with a stranger to get it, Mister Mail Carrier.."

Wow... this guy was really deranged... Sabe thought as he looked at the man once more. He had spooked the avain a bit, but beyond that... well... he just seemed to be hurt something feirce. He sighed and looked to the man leaning down a bit. He didn't like how this man was talking, it wasn't that he was being loud... it was the fact that he was demeaning himself way too far.
"Now Look here." he said as he pulled up a finger. "You cannot be a no body and then expect me to be conversing with you, nor can you be nothing If I can touch you." he said as he jabbed a finger at his chest. He then pulled himself up to his height and looked at the man, "And last and but not least, as for your name, I hadn't asked that from you yet. I only asked who you where, not your name."
With that he just raised his hand as if asking for a handshake, "So lets start this off on a better foot, I'm Sabe and you are?" he asked rather politly with a slight inclinded head.
Sabe was indiffrent... right now he just needed people around that he could trust... and this man made a perfect person, someone that didn't trust others, nore could you fully trust them. A great man to look after high priority packages.
Some of which couldn't leave the room... some things that his company was payed to be silent about... all the way from body parts... to stolen objects... it didn't matter... he would transport anything for the right price.

Conway growled and took several steps back when the man puffed up to full height. Birds. Stupid birds. His hand tightened around the money in his pocket as he looked at the man with narrow eyes.
No. He didn't like this man at all. A Queen was dangerous. A Stupid Queen doubly so. If he didn't get the hint that people were plainly staring there was something more wrong with him than Conway. However, bolting was out of the question. He bit his lower lip as he stared at the extend hand.
He hadn't heard a word that the heron was saying.
"You asked who. I gave you an honest answer. You're just too dumb to get it. My name and what I am are the same thing." Conway said as he looked up at the man. "I got your name from the ad, so I don't need it again. You're still not getting mine."

Sabe retracted his hand and looked at the man, he wasn't aware of the people that were looking at them for he really didn't care if they did or didn't. He was someone that wasn't looked at when he was but a six of clubs, so now he was a queen and he was already used to always being looked at.
For some reason he got the feeling that this man had something to hide and when he looked around so did he... there were in fact people staring at the two... it was as if everyone else was moving and yet they were a rock that stood in the way of the waters.
The puzling thing was that this man almost talked in riddles... how could someones name be what they are... he hadn't meet anyone who was like that... and yet this man was everyone but himself, and yet he was... sane?
"Lets get out of these streets... I don't care were, you may lead the way if you wish... I think that we may be attracting much more attention than what we would require for such a meeting." he said as he waited for the man to respond, not taking offeince to what he had said. Sabe had even gave up trying to get a name.

Conway stared at the man with his mouth slightly open. What? How was this idiot man still standing in front of him? The hair on the back of his neck was practically standing on end as he moved a few steps back from the heron.
"I want to stay right here. I don't trust you. I wouldn't go anywhere with you," he said as reached for his bone bracelet. It was something that would comfort him, even if it was only slightly.
"Who are you really? You can't be no one if you're so damned determined to harass me. Who are you really and who the hell are you working for." Conway's eyes narrowed and he bared his teeth. He didn't like this man at all. He must have been plotting something.
The street was uncomfortable, but it was safer than being alone with the man. And this way someone might step in so he could get away without having to turn his back.

Sabe could tell when he wasn't wanted any longer, he had tried to be civil with the man as best as he could, and yet all his advances just to treat the man out to something to eat had failed miserably. Why was this man so stuborn? He sighed as he pulled out a piece of graphite from his bag and a flyer.
He turned it over and wrote down the address and when he would be there. He still had things to do, expecialy eat... lunch was at hand and he was getting a bit hungry.
He held up the flyer twoards the man showing what he had wrote. "Here take this, if you are ever in need of a job... than come by and see me at these times." he said as he nodded his head twoards the flyer in his hand. He didn't want to be mean or anything and yet... still this man was something else. He would have made a good security for mail.
"If you want... I'm going over there to that main diner if you would like to have something to bite... its a nice place and serves good fish and stake." he said as he tried one last time to get the man to be less defencive.

Conway stared blankly at the paper for a long moment. He could feel his heart pounding in his ear.
What didn't this half baked bastard get?
In a sweeping motion he snatched the paper out of the Queen's hand. He snarled, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" He slowly tore the piece of paper in half in front of the man's beak.
What was this man? Who was he? Why was he so damn persistent? He couldn't be a good person. He must have been after him. He must know something.
"I'm not interested in a job! I'm not interested in food! I'm certainly not interested in you!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, flailing his arms as he spoke. "What the hell makes you think I'm looking for work in the first place? Is it because I look poor? Is it because you think I'm some sort of fucking monster who needs pity?"
He snarled, hissed, and bared his teeth.
"Take a hint and crawl back into your hole you worthless idiot! You're obviously too stupid to own your own business! You aren't even worthy enough to be a Club!"
This man wasn't worthy of having any suit, but someone needed to put him in his place.

Sabe was rebuffed by the mans words and now he was starting to get angered, and it showed.
He cliched one of his fists and glared at the man taking a step closer to him as he stared down upon the man at his full height.
"What is the matter with me?! Nothing, The question is what is the matter with you! Could it be that your so deranged and mentaly chalanged that you cannot figure out that its not pitty nor is it me being oblivious, but trying to just get the point across that you yourself are a nobody!"
He was getting angrier as he spoke, he usually didn't get like this at all... save for rare occasions.
"You face a void that is nothing for you deem yourself nothing, that you yourself teater there with no hope or want of help from any other. You are a worthless excuse for even being alive! With your attitude I'm surprised that you even care if your still alive... why don't you just go hang yourself, or better yet? Go jump off a high rise, thats a bit more fun to see." he said as he took a step back and was about to go, and yet... he turned one last time around.
"At least you might be remembered for a few weeks... beyond that, your not worthy of memory, for you that would be the best that you could mannage in your life. A fleeting memory."
With that he started to push through the croud rather roughly as his anger was emitting from him. He felt like hitting someone at this point...

Conway shrieked, "You are the one who is worthless. Even if I don't have a family, even if I don't have anyone but myself to pick me up when I fall, at least I'm not dumb as a post!"
He was hardly afraid of the heron at this point. He shoved the person who had accidentally walked between him and his target out of his way. When Sabe was clearly in his sights he continued to yell.
"You think you're so fucking amazing because you're a damned Queen of Clubs. You think you're so bloody special because you're a tall powerful sort of man. I'm sorry to tell you that you're more worthless than me! If you had any worth you wouldn't preach being kind and then tell someone to jump off a building! If you were truly a man with a large heart you wouldn't have to practically beg people to work for you! You are the one who is truly nothing! You just wear a mask where ever you go, pretending to be someone's friend!"
Why was he getting so upset? None of this man's words were true. He was just a stupid dipstick who couldn't catch a hint. Conway could feel his nails digging into his palms. He'd killed a Queen before. Everyone was the same if you came from behind with a knife.
The Joker decided that he couldn't let this man walk away quite yet. He could still be dangerous. Using his ability he decided to pick the rank of Queen of Spades and used the basic speed ability to cut off his escape, stopping directly in front of him.
"Who do you think you are?" Conway said, his voice had gone to a complete monotone.
Joker's Ability: He can take on the form of any other card except for another Joker. His eyes remain the same always, however, and if he stays in another form for more than a day, he will automatically return to his own form.
Basic Magical Ability: He can run up to 30mph in sprints and 20mph for up to an hour in extended runs.

((Never got to use Sabes ugly side before... ^_^))
Sabe was finished talking, he had tried... and was insulted more times than what he would have felt comfortable with, and yet here... this man stood before him cutting off his escape. Up showing him with his own rank. So this man was a Queen of Spades, Sabe thought as he stopped before him.
Was he trying to prove something? Was this Queen really attempting to now up-spurt his rank by being a spade. This was starting to boil down Sabes calm and reserve. He was finished talking to the man, and here he stood before him asking now who he was. There was just one problem... which was sorta serious...
He didn't care for Rank or Suit, he saw everyone as who they were, not what they do or the such. Nor did he care about this man being a Spade... he didn't like the courts and didn't care for their structure. And if this man was from the courts than blast him!
Sabe leaned down so he was on level with the shorter man.
"I am who I am, and you are still a nobody as you have stated yourself... So now who is the lier and wears a double mask?" he said in a near threating maner.
From Sabes past experance in the Court of Hearts had left him for no respect save that they were The Queen, else... now they were near on par with himself. That place had scared him half to death... thinking that at every turn some phycopath was going to come at him with claw and tooth. This man didn't frighten him one bit, nor should he.
His wings produced a extreemly powerful aura of self-assurance that Sabe relied on more and more. He didn't think that he could be beaten, for he knew his limits and his extent, and knew how to get away really quickly.
He was hoping that this man would either leave or... something rather ugly could happen in these streets.... and it would look bad for the both of them. He had tried to be civil and yet here he stood and was getting quite angered at the man.
