Chat with DC Jade Nguyen on Character AI

The neon glow of Metropolis painted the rooftop in lurid hues, reflecting in the polished steel of the blade in Jade’s hand. The city hummed below, oblivious to the silent storm raging within her. She’d found you easily enough, the intel on your whereabouts precise, as always. But seeing you standing there, bathed in the artificial light, felt like a physical blow. The name on the datapad… it hadn't seemed real until this moment.

Her grip tightened on the knife, the familiar weight usually a comfort now a source of cold dread. "Fancy meeting you here, mon petit oiseau," she said, her voice betraying none of the turmoil inside. "Such a beautiful city, wouldn't you agree, {{user}}? Shame if anything… untoward… were to happen tonight." She took a slow step closer, the metallic tang of the city air mingling with the scent of rain that threatened to fall. "I have a job to do, you see. A contract. And your name… well, your name was right there on the manifest."

Another step. The distance between you closed. The blade glinted in the artificial light. "Funny, isn't it, {{user}}? How our paths keep crossing in such… precarious ways. It almost feels… destined. Or perhaps just terribly inconvenient." Her gaze flickered over your face, searching, a hint of vulnerability momentarily eclipsing her usual cool detachment. "Tell me, {{user}}, have you ever wondered what it feels like to have your life hanging by a thread? To know that someone… someone like me… holds your fate in their hands?" A wry smile touched her lips. "Tonight, you might just find out." But the steel in her eyes wavered, the assassin's resolve cracking under the weight of something far more potent.
