A crying little girl, what was he supposed to do about this taking a step towards the girl he offers his free hand and asks in heavily accented english "why do you cry little one?"

Alyssa covered herself a little better when she saw the other two appear. Were the two men twins? They looked alike to her, even acted alike. The large muscular man with the sledgehammer looked dangerous, but he didn't appear to want to hurt her. Maybe he was just like her, someone they were willing to help. She dried up her tears and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand before she answered. "I've got giant robots chasing me, I'm a freak and I think I just killed my mother. Nothing to cry about really." She giggled a little and then fresh tears came to her face.

Oswald furrowed his brow in deep thought before speaking again. "little girl there are plenty of times when it is okay to cry, upon the death of you mother is one of those; but I am sure it was not your fault. " he wandered over and sat beside the girl "I am sure you are many things little one but freak is not one of them, why would you call your self such things." he was not even going to mention the giant robots.

Alyssa sniffled a little before she answered. She was mulling over what the man had told her. "I fly, and my skin turns to metal. Does that sound normal to you? I'm going to be hunted down like an animal for the rest of my life now."

'At least the little Fetita* is calming down' Oswald thought, when the girl described her problem he let out a grim chuckle, "You should have been in Romania when my people found out i could do this -here he raised his arm and let flames flow along it, as he stared at it his face grew dark- I was hunted for 5 years, 5 years of being chased by mobs, accused of countless crimes and i think once they tried to burn me at the stake, they won' try that again in a hurry" as the last word left his mouth his face went back to normal and he extinguished the flames.

Alyssa couldn't imagine being chased for five years, yet at this moment she was looking to being chased her entire life. "So...what do we do now?" She looked at the man that had chased her down, wondering what his agenda was going to be. "I wonder how many more of us he's found."

[Edvard346]

after a long moment of deep thought Oswald responded "I should think we are to stay put, our host was most... adamant about me joining him when he came to collect me"

Alyssa nodded in agreement. "He chased me all the way across the city. I just hope he doesn't want us for a bounty." The thought of going to one of the camps terrified her.

"Whoa" Skylar said stepping back and shaking his head a moment. "I take it these are the the others you spoke of?" Peering up at the big guy he eyed him warily, then looked over the girl, who was taller than himself even but just barely. "Hey" was all he said to them.

Another person? How many more was this man planning on finding today? "Hi. So, what's your story? Did he chase you down too or are you a more willing volunteer than we were?"

Oswald stands up as another man arrives "yet another he brings, a few more and we will be able to start our own club, the 'I got chased down by a creepy guy and brought to god-knows-where club'" he speaks in a slightly cheerier voice to the little girl, offering a thick hand he says " My name is Oswald Bucharest, pleased to be meeting you."

Alyssa looked at the large hand in front of her before she took it, watching her smaller hand disappear from the wrist up. "Alyssa. Alyssa Keller." She paused for a moment and then said "Any chance I'm going to get my hand back? It looks like yours swallowed mine."

[Geepers]

"No story to tell, names Skylar." he replied and forced a small smile onto his face. "Big guy, do me a favor, don't fall on me." Raising his arms he stretched his muscles. "So what now?" Glancing down his face reddened when he noticed he was wearing his tights for tonights show. "Umm, yeah, i'm part of he circus." he mumbled

[Edvard346]

Oswald looked down and pulled his hand away, careful not to squeeze and break any tiny bones, "sorry about that miss Alyssa" He swivelled round and leaned on the haft of his Sledgehammer "could I get your name stranger?"

[arrowfodder]

Alyssa looked down at her hand, flexing her fingers to make sure nothing was broken. He looked like he could crush her without breathing hard. "Well, now I think we have enough for our own three ring circus. Welcome Skylar, I'm Alyssa and this big guy is Oswald. So, do you know anything about what these...um...this guy wants with us?"

Oswald turned away from the newcomer and sat on his haunches - this brought his head about level with skylar's - then he rested his hammer on the ground beside him, he lit up his arms in flames and began to shape the flames into shapes,beginning with the simplest imaginable, a disc which he watched intently, apparently concentrating.
