[Jimmy's walking down the street near the fountain, uncharacteristically bright smile on his face. It's obvious he doesn't know he's recording this, since he's not at all paying attention to the camera. His pace speeds up a little as he heads towards the fountain, the tone in his voice full of amusement as he calls out.]

Hey, Tommy, c'mon, I'm not gonna chase you!

[That is, however, exactly what he starts doing. There's a little kid running in front of him, a boy of about four, who seems completely unconcerned with the fact that he's in a new and unusual place. He's running, giggling, holding onto a bag of candy, and Jimmy's following behind him as closely as he can.]

All right, all right, slow down! You're too fast for your dad, kiddo.

[The little boy sits down on the edge of the fountain and pops a piece of taffy into his mouth. Eventually, Jimmy sits down beside him, brushing the little boy's hair out of his eyes. The little boy looks up at him, looking serious for a moment, and asks "Where's mommy?"]

Well, y'know...

[Jimmy pauses for a minute, slightly uncomfortable, and then grins down at the kid.]

We're on a little vacation, just you 'n me, okay? Just the guys. Mommy's at home, workin' on her paintin', and y'know she can't get anythin' done when we're havin' this much fun.

[He ruffles Tommy's hair, then immediately realizes his device is on, and switches it off with a bit of a sheepish smile.]

[[OOC: Jimmy's son is here for the fourth wall, and you can run into Jimmy and Tommy around the fountain, or anywhere else in town, really!]]

Well, there's no way I'm having you come to work now.

[At first Ruby thinks she must be seeing things. She'd been wandering around town trying to find people she knew, and Jimmy was pretty near the top of the list, but she thinks she might have made a mistake when she sees him with a little kid, and it takes her a moment to remember that he has a son of his own.]

Long time no see.

[ Her heart might just burst into sunbeams or something. ]

Having fun?

[Tommy had run off as soon as they'd arrived in the City. Richard had strode through the streets, peering in shop windows and down side alleys, glaring defiantly back at the people who passed who didn't even try to hide their open stares at his mask.

Eventually he comes to the fountain square, and initially sighs in relief as he sees Tommy, but then freezes as he sees who he's with. He suddenly realises why the boy had wandered off, that childish instinct that knows when their father is near.

And while he's overcome with emotion at seeing his long dead friend, he also feels very uncomfortable. He's back on the outside, looking at pictures of happy families in his scrap books.

It's a long time before he can bring himself to go over, not wanting to intrude on their time together.]

I told you not to wander off, Tommy.

[A cheerful Jimmy is a rare sight, but the little boy goes a long way towards explaining the phenomenon. Penny isn't sure if she should say something, so she waves at Jimmy. If he doesn't want to talk, that's perfectly okay.]

Jimmy!

[It's Laruna. She's happy to see him. Mostly. Currently she's being trailed by a gentleman about her age and with similar enough looks to peg them as siblings. Her general body language is "I hate that he is here and wish that he would stop following me around like some creep." The gentleman in question is just grinning lightly but otherwise not doing anything. Oh. And he has a black eye.]
