(Edit: I changed it for a little bit of fun. I don't know how exactly control of the opposing team works. But I might as well practice this team version of role-playing.) (Five. :3 I couldn't decide whether I wanted to make the new one a little girl or a little boy. So I did both. :3)
Together they raced down the river, leaving a trail of disturbed water in their wake. Something like static hissed at his ear. Whether it was coming from his suit or his goggles, he wasn't sure.
"They're onto you. They know you took the river to escape."
Blink muttered to himself. So Zed did know what was going on. It seemed there was nothing he could get past that guy.
"I heard that. Anyways, you're going to have to ditch that jetski before they get their sight on you from above."
Blink smirked to himself. Oh he had a plan alright, not that it had anything to do with what Zed was saying. He had been expecting this. He jerked the compartment open, grabbed his pack and slammed the compartment closed again, reapplying accelleration. Taking one hand from the bars, he pressed the pack to Katie's hands at his torso. "Take it and do your thing. Get to the shore and give the serum to your brother." There was a icy spark in his eye as he stared onwards. "I'll meet you there."
(Aw man! Yeah. I was a little freaked out on my first week too. But it's going good now. :3 Take your time. I hope everything calms down for you as things settle into schedule.)

Ash looked back at Finla with his Amber lupine eyes. He ignored the two transformed ferrets for now since there was one hanging off his muzzle. His body shifted into his werewolf form. His head didn't move from it's spot as the rest of his body changed "You know usually people introduce themselves before throwing themselves on me" Ash joked "You must be one of the people Farlow said he was going to bring. Name's Ash"
(I think I mentioned before that the hottest his flames get is 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. And I'm interested on how things will go. Hopefully Masaki doesn't manage to mess up and say the wrong thing lol)
"Doctors and policemen aren't all that bad. Sure there are bad eggs in every profession but the majority are good people who want to do their job right. If you were actually hunted by the police that was most likely because they wanted to keep you and others from getting hurt. What happened with doctors that makes you not like them?" Masaki asked "You're saying some pretty dangerous things to me you know that right? But you'll never find what you're missing if you have to hurt people along the way. Even more things will just get taken away from you in return" He said with a sigh. When he heard her answer to his question he gave a small nod "The basic necessities for humans is food water and shelter. Friends and family come after usually and then money or at least that's how I look at life. So what are you stealing that you actually need?"
(Sorry if it seems rushed at work right now and it's been busy)

(It's all good. Good luck with work. :3 And get lots of rest.)
Finla squeaked and hopped in surprise when Ash started shifting and her tail went straight into the air. She liked the look in Ash's eyes. Finla watched the change, eyes wide with fascination. If a ferret could grin, that was exactly what this little ferret was doing. She hopped back from Ash's muzzle, and spun a little excited circle before rather suddenly turning into a little girl with white, black-tipped hair. Other than the hair, and a ferret's mask that looked more like a tattoo or face-paint, she looked completely human. "You're like us!" She exclaimed, bouncing with excitement. "I'm Finla! I can change too! See?" She flickered in between a ferret and a human as if it was just a trick of perception. She stopped in her human form. "Daddy was telling us aaaaall about you!"
Farlow looked down at Lowen. "See? She's fine!"
"Yeah yeah..." Lowen muttered, watching his sister show off. --- (You might have, but I forget things like that sometimes. Especially if I only read it once. Quick research: Ah, so he can melt some rocks and weak metals, but not iron or steel. Heheh.)
"Yeah, so what? You already know what I've done, why stop now? It's because of a doctor that I even exist. They gave me everything, just to take it away, just like everyone else." Pip kicked a stone. "I don't want to hurt people... I just want them to understand." When he said even more things would be taken away, she winced. "Why must everyone always be so intent on taking everything I have!" Pip shouted abruptly, possibly causing some stares, but she didn't care at the moment. She scowled at the sidewalk as she walked, searching for another stone to kick. "Everything," she answered his last question shortly, avoiding his gaze. Everything that she stole was needed to fulfill a purpose. If that purpose wasn't fulfilled, she'd be back where she started. Or worse.

Ash chuckled "Yeah, I guess you could say that" he said before changing into his own human form though his transformation was a lot slower than Finla's. "Oh really now? And what has your dad told you about me already?" He asked as he looked over at Farlow with a smirk on his smirk on his face.
(yeah I didn't want to have him join and be this near unstoppable force that can burn anything and everything but I do plan on him getting stronger)
"Well it's never too late to change you know that right? You don't necessarily have to steal. You could always see if you can get a job somewhere, make some money and then buy things that interest you" Masaki said. As Pip talked, Masaki started to rally pity this girl that society had practically broke. She stole because she wanted to build her life to what it used to be but it seemed like she was too naive to realize that things will never go back to exactly how they used to be. "I know you don't actually want to hurt people. I figured you didn't actually mean to hurt anyone when that block was destroyed because you are a good person on the inside. But if you want someone to understand you, you don't go around stealing things, you usually talk about it. To answer your question though, it's not exactly like most of these people actually want to take all of the your stuff it's that things gained by illegal means tend to get confiscated and sometimes returned to the original owners. That's just how the law works really"

(For clothes, I've been debating for a while, but I guess she wears tattered shorts and a tattered shirt that doesn't cover much skin. Farlow doesn't really know much about dressing humans. Especially little girls.)
Farlow let out a soft chuckle when Ash met his gaze, his eyebrows raised. He wasn't worried about what his daughter would say, as much as he was concerned with whether or not Ash could follow it all. Finla was bound to use her adept gift of speech to it's fullest potential, as she always did in this form.
Finla opened her hands wide, and began to rattle on her story. "He told me you were a biiiig wolf with a good heart and that you could change like us! And you actually can! I haven't seen anyone like us before. Mamma couldn't change. The bugs outside can't change either. And food. Food can't change. He said that you were once a human, and that now you don't really like people because people don't like you anymore. He told me that you know all the human stuff, and that you could teach us some things! Daddy really wants us to learn more about humans. He keeps saying that they are the key to the future. But it's really no fair how much attention he gives Lowen! Lowen gets to learn all about our family history, but I'm stuck having to learn about humans! He says it's important and for the future, but that's a looong time away. Right?" All the words had been said so quickly, and with very little pause.
--- (Ah, so he has potential. Potential is fun to work with.)
"I can't. They'll find out who I am, and I'll be taken away. I don't want to go back there. I won't let them take me. That's why I don't usually tell people the truth. Besides... It wouldn't pay nearly enough ta keep them off my back," Pip argued. She scoffed when he spoke about the law. "Well, the law has nevah helped me..." Pip mumbled.

Ash had a smile on his face as he let out another chuckle as he listened to her ramble on "Seems like your dad has told me everything he knows about me so far" he said "Though I wouldn't say I know all about human things. I don't really know how to be a proper adult but that's basically it. But I'd say he's teaching you more about humans since you are the most human out of the two of you making it easier for you to blend in. Hell, I'd say you look more human than me at this point"
(potential is always fun though I still havent really found an excuse to make him stronger unless you count Boris though they seem evenly matched from their fights so far)
"So is there anything I can do for you then that would help you stop stealing? At least something I can legally do. I'm not going to steal stuff for you" Masaki said "The law may have never helped you because you didn't let it. If you had talked to the police all those doctors that hurt you would have been put in jail most likely though I'm sure it's still not too late for the law to help you still"

(Yeah. Now that I've settled into routine. Mondays aren't as bad. Tiring, yes, but pretty good.)
"You really think so?" Finla ran over and splashed to the pond's edge. She peered down, pulling her hair back so she could see herself in the water. "Daddy says this looks human, but the closest I've seen to human is his form!" she called back to Ash. "Do you look more human than Daddy?" She splashed out of the pond on her way back to Ash. On her way, she suddenly yelped and hopped on one foot. She had stepped on a stick with her bare feet. She sat down with a plop onto the ground, and strained to examine her foot. "I don't not having fur... It's cold... and you step on things that hurt," she whined. "How do humans deal with it all?" --- (Another question: The chain is gold and it has a fox design. Is the fox also golden, or is it another colour?) (Heheh. And he's trying so hard to help her that Pip likely won't try to catch him. The only way she'd do that is if he turned against her or literally threatened to take her to the police. Ray could probably withstand Masaki's fire. Too much might make him tired and slightly warm, but that's pretty much it for him. His hair might burn. He doesn't feel much. All my other characters would be vulnerable to his flames, though some of them have ways of avoiding such attacks (two of them provide more problems in the mental area rather than the physical). Hm... I don't know. Perhaps we could make a progressive plot about it?)
Pip shrugged at his first question. "Keep them from taking me? Keep me safe at night. Help me find what I'm looking for?" She was just throwing things out there, doubting he'd agree to any of it. Pip shook her head at his suggestion. "You don't understand." She pulled something from her pocket. It looked like a tiny book. Something that a doll would read. When she pulled it out, it grew to a normal book size. She held it out to Masaki.
The first page had newspaper clippings from that day, two years ago. It displayed a giant teenager with long dark hair and a furious expression. The biggest difference was that Pip's hair was tied up in a bun, she didn't seem to be much different in age. The pages that followed read about how heroes and police had chased after this miracle child, turned failure. Monster. An abomination that must be contained was now set loose upon the world, and remained unfound.
Pip walked on in silence.

"Yep you look nearly identical to a human if you took off whatever that is on your face but right now most people would think it's just a kid got their face painted." Ash said before his eyes went wide when she let out a yelp thinking she had seriously hurt herself before letting out a sigh of relief "Humans wear clothes and the weather usually helps dictate what they wear. If it's cold they wear more clothing and less when it's hot. To protect their feet, they wear things called shoes. Used to take those things for granted but I wouldn't mind having a pair either"
(yes its also gold) (im down for that what did you have in mind?)
"Well I guess I can try to keep you safe but I'm not sure what to do about your last request since you still haven't told me specifically what you are looking for. That's if you even know what you're looking for yourself." Masaki said before taking the book from her. Masaki started to read it his eyes narrowing at some points but his face remained mostly expressionless. "So you don't want to be taken by the police or these doctors I'm guessing though if I had my way, these doctors would be put in jail for life for doing this to a little girl. Seems like the police and heroes are just trying to do their job and keep the civilians safe really. After the incident I can understand why but they should have also realized that they are dealing with a minor and not some mobster or something like that" he said "So wanna tell me why exactly this whole mess started? It would help to know if I'm to protect you"

(Really not trying to copy Lennox or anything. I just seem to have a bad habit at making all my female characters all so similar, and yet all so different.) --- Finla touched her face, her turquoise eyes wide. "Do they have lots of stuff? Daddy says they have lot of stuff. Sometimes he brings some things to show us, but none of it makes any sense." Farlow came up behind her and draped his cloak over her. Finla looked up and smiled at her father, before snuggling up in the cloak still warm from her father's touch. Now that Farlow's full form was revealed, he looked much like his son, but his black hair was shorter and he wore a strap adorned like a sash, upon which his sword was sheathed. He was slightly more human-like than his son, so he wore a pair of shorts, similar to that of Ash.
"I'll pick up some more things for you tomorrow," Farlow murmured with a warm smile. This had been one of the longest periods of time he'd ever seen her in human form. He did not know yet of its limitations.
Lowen remained at a distance, choosing to stay in his bipedal form. He sat on the ground, watching his sister. --- (Hm... Perhaps a bounty hunter from the 'other country'. I really ought to specify what country one of these days. The newspapers would likely give it away. Or, maybe the boss of the group Pip kind of joined. Maybe both. Perhaps one as the first challenge and another as the second. Just throwing out ideas.)
The last picture in the book portrayed a picture of her tiny seven year-old self compared to her enlarged teenage self. It was another version of the story, talking about how society had viewed her as a medical miracle, oblivious to the consequences of said miracle. And so, the girl known as Tina Kelly was a hunted criminal.
Pip blinked. Was he taking her seriously? "Five years ago, I was born prematu'a. At least that's what they tell me. I was going to die because I was so small and undahdeveloped. Then the Doctah came. He made a cu'ah that made me grow faster. My birthfolk paid alotta moneh for it all." She smiled then, just a little. "It worked, all except fo' my size. You see... When I was ridin' on yo' head...? That was my real size. Once I got stronger with my abilities, my birthfolk gave me back to the Doctah, like something was wrong with me. So they tested my abilities. They wouldn't let me go home, or anywhere for that mattah." She frowned and shrugged. "Eventually, I couldn't take it. So I broke out. You know the story from there. I fled the country and and snuck on a ship he'ah. I guess age doesn't realleh apply to someone who's age changes all the time."

(dont worry lol I feel like all my characters kind of blend together at some points lol)
Ash shrugged "Honestly depends on the person. Humans use money to buy things so it goes without saying that the more money someone has they usually have more things. People with little money usually have less things. But the places they live in are much larger than your den I'm sure. There are some buildings that stretch way up into the sky as if they're trying to touch the heavens" he said as he turned to his head to face the other two ferretmen and walked over towards them. "Then you must be Farlow's son. Nice to meet you, name's Ash though I'm sure your Father told you already" he said, sticking his hand out to Lowen not knowing if he knew that it was a common way for humans to greet each other
(well it would have to be english or japanese for Masaki to be able to read it. He doesn't really know any other language but I like the idea of a bounty hunter. Honestly would probably be a perfect matchup with Masaki since they are definitely two sides of the same coin. What if it was a powered bounty hunter or something like that? Oooooh two different matchups that Masaki would have to help deal with. Though I have a feeling that Masaki would take some pleasure in taking down an organization)
Masaki looked shocked when she mentioned she was born five years ago "Wait only 5 years old? Damn thought you were at least 14 or 15 but I guess that's the point of your power" he said as he closed the book "It was wrong of your parents to do that though. They shouldn't have let you go and get treated like some guinea pig, hell I think I wouldn't mind cracking their heads together for making such a stupid choice" he said as he let his emotions get the better of him. "I can understand why you broke out. I would have done the same thing in your shoes especially with you being so young. So what have you been doing since you got here? Keeping a low profile?"

Finla's eyes widened in awe. "Daddy, when can I go see the humans!? You keep telling me about them, but I really want to seeee!"
"It's not time yet," Farlow replied with a somewhat masked expression. "When the time is right, then you may go. But that time is not now."
Finla groaned.
Lowen saw the man come towards him, and couldn't help but bare his sharp teeth instinctively. He quickly stopped himself. This wolf- man, whatever he was, hadn't eaten his sister. He must not be that bad. He flinched when Ash stuck out a hand and stared at it. Was he threatening him? He didn't see any evil intent on his face. Lowen glanced down at his own hand. His own hand was covered in short black fur with childlike fingers. His dark fingernails came to a dull point. He then looked up at Ash with his yellow eyes. What was it that people said when they appreciated something again? "Thanks..." What he was saying thank you for? Who knows. --- (Hm... Probably somewhere in Europe. Okay. XD I'll develop some profiles. The bounty hunter would likely have some ability related to metal. Not sure of the specifics yet.)
Pip shrugged. "That's how many ye'ahs I've lived, even if it's not by the same standards you'ah used to. My age is only relative." She frowned at the mention of her parents. "They didn't want a freak for a child. I'll show them. I'll show everyone. One o' these days, I'll show the world just what I'm made of. What they tossed away." She caught sight of a fancily dressed woman with a large purse at her side, and watched her out of the corner of her eye as they passed. She didn't make a move though. Not with Masaki standing there. Such a waste of a chance... "Yeah. Takin' what I need an' mo' if I could. My livin' quartah's weren't the most comfy." She winced at the memory. "That is until I met Boss. Boss gave me everything I could've needed with only one request."

Ash laughed "Sorry should have known you didn't know what this gesture meant. Humans usually shake hands in greeting which is what I was trying to do" he said "So you're Lowen then. You look a lot like your father, you know that right?"
(even better it would make the fight that much more difficult for Masaki)
"The best way you could do that is turn yourself in and show that you aren't a bad person. Yeah, the media demonized you but that's what they do. But if you told your story to other people then I'm sure people would start to understand why you made those choices. But I feel for you for wanting to show your parents for making the wrong choice. If I were in your shoes, I'd want to do the same" Masaki said. Masaki raised an eyebrow at the mention of Boss "Who is this Boss that you're talking about and what was the request?"

Lowen blinked and held out his hand like Ash's, then flopped it around a little. Ash did say they 'shook' their hands. He could no longer suppress a short laugh. "Humans are weird," he chuckled. When he mentioned how he looked like his father, Lowen's smile faded away. "That's what mother used to say."
Lowen glanced at his father, who was chuckling at something Finla said and responding in a soft tone. "I don't know why he's so happy. He should be taking this more seriously." --- (Yeah. It'll be fun. ^^ And I can work on my fight roleplaying again.)
"No way I'm gonna do that. They just gonna send me back," Pip snapped, looking away. "Oh, he just gives me the odd job. I just get him what he wants, and he gives me what I want." She grinned then. "You promise to keep a secret?" she asked, suddenly stopping and leaning in towards Masaki.

(Here's Masaki and Pip. I tried. XD) This was my first attempt. XD I can't seem to get Masaki's face right, but I tried. This one, I tried doing a black gym headband or something. This is my second attempt. Still failing miserably to draw Masaki, but I tried. XD This one I did with 'messy hair' and without a headband. I hope you like it! ^^

sorry for taking so long to respond just got home from work)
Ash let out another laugh as he felt Lowen's hand flop about "I think that should be the first thing I teach you then. You don't literally shake your hand. It's really just grasp another person's hand like we just did and move our hands up and down" he said. When he saw Lowen's smile disappear he frowned as well for a brief moment and made a mental note to himself Mother must be dead then and it seems like it's a touchy subject. "Why does he need to be more serious? It's not like this is something super important"
(I could always do better with my fight rping. But I definitely need to improve my non combat times when I rp. I feel like I'm all over the place lol)
"I mean, yeah they would most likely send you back to your country but that's the worst case scenario. Besides it was only an idea, I didn't mean that you had to do it so there's no reason to snap" Masaki said "So he has you steal things for him then. Well I could always go and have a chat with this Boss and tell him you are done stealing for him if you want" he said before raising an eyebrow "Yeah I can keep a secret"
(love the art but don't worry Masaki is a tough character to draw lol. I'm just glad to have more art of him)

(Nah, it's all good. ^^)
So that was how the human greeting worked. How strange. Lowen blinked at Ash. Father hadn't told him? "I'm not allowed to tell Finla this...but father says he's going away soon." --- (Oh yeah. For sure. Me too. I think Samandriel has it downpat. I'm trying to learn from him. But really, there are all sorts of ways to go about writing these things, so really there isn't exactly a 'right' way. It's a thing of constant improvement. There is so much to think about, and you have to separate what you know from what the character knows and all that fun stuff. Ahhh. I could write an entire paragraph on this topic, but perhaps I shouldn't. XD Length vs Quality is interesting as well. I don't think longer necessarily makes it better. Sometimes it does, but really, how much can you do between an exchange of words? Then again length can add lots of interesting details to act upon, but then you don't know how much you are allowed to affect the landscape and so on and so on and I'll try to stop myself there. Some people are awesome at writing a good balance of action and speech. To be honest, I think you’re a pretty good roleplayer.)
Pip looked at him, a little cheesy grin spreading across her face. "Nah. I won't tell you." She turned and walked on. "That wouldn't be a good idea. Boss doesn't like quiters. He doesn't like strangers comin' to his doorstep eithah." She glanced back at him. "Could you guarantee more safety than the Boss?"
(Glad you like it! I still ought to work a bit more on anatomy and body shape, but I'm getting there. And lines. I can't do clean straight lines. I don't know how people do them. XD I like how Pip turned out, though. Now I have an actual reference of her.)

Ash frowned and looked down at the ground "Didn't mention that and right after we became friends too. Dammit, my shitty luck strikes again" he said as he kicked some dirt
(Yeah I love the way Sam rps and I want to get to that level but I doubt I ever will lol)
Masaki sighed before chuckling "Should have seen that coming" he said "I'd have to see what this Boss is capable of first so I can't say anything for certain" he said "Is he some kind of mobster then?"

Post by Light on Jan 22, 2020 17:26:10 GMT -5
Lowen watched Ash kick at the ground and he copied him, kicking at another patch of dirt. "It's not like I want to stay with you either. But someone's got to make sure Finla doesn't get herself in trouble." he huffed, looking off into the trees. It was so unlike the prairie, where you could see for miles. Here, you could only see to the nearest trees and perhaps a little farther in between. --- (Aaahh. I spoke too much in the last post. XD But yeah. Ah, we'll get there one day if we work hard at it.) (Okay. I got most of the bounty hunter's profile done. XD His bounty hunter title is the Locksman and his ability is kind of a mixture of Precht (chains) from Fairy Tail and Kuvira (metal bending, particularly the metal restraints) from Avatar. He also wears armour. I'll get a picture up soon. I hope he's not too OP. XD)
Pip shrugged. "He has lotsa people workin' fo' him if that's what you mean." Her eyes flicked around as she spoke. "Though if word got out that I told a hero aneh o' this, he wouldn't be vereh happeh. Still..." She smirked then and lowered her voice. "One o' these days, when I'ah find an advantage, I gonna show him too. Gonna show him what I'm made of." She made a fist and punched her other hand, grinning. "An' you know what? He believes in meh! He believes I can become somthin' mo'."

(Did I say I was going to stop? Probably. Does that mean I'm going to do it? Probably not. Here's another character xD)
~"You can say I'm a [REDACTED]- Really? I can't say that? What about [REDACTED]? Seriously? That too? Well what can I say? That's it? Jesus! This world is getting too sensitive."~ "You guys hear about the man that lived in the grand canyon? Yeah me neither,I guess he was the one living under a rock." The entity spoke as it sat on a stool,talking out to a crowd. It was a comedy act it seemed. While not many people were laughing,they did look at it in awe. The being looked like it was made from metal. It wore a leather jacket and jeans and had silvery white hair. ~"Now before you start jumping conclusions I ain't made of metal. It's my skin,its natural pigment is a metallic silver. Don't think that's viable,look at the name of the thread!"~ It wasn't at all a nice thing. But at least it was entertaining. ~"Entertaining is a fun word. That's all I am to you. Heck! You're making me up as you go along! I'm like a charming,useful,and handsome lie!"~ "Well I thank you for your time but I must leave." It stood up and walked off the stage and out the door. "Hello world! The HVY MTL DRMR has arrived!" ~"Really? That's the best name you could come up with?"~
(Ok so the ~ shows where he's breaking the fourth wall. When he does that the only people that hear him are the readers,not the characters. He only knows about stuff that's happened to him and things said OOC that aren't related to the other characters or the plot. Lemme know if anything else needs to be made clear X3

(Ooh. That's an interesting style of writing. Now that I know what the fourth wall is, it now makes me think of Emporer's New Groove, or Freakazoid. Heheh. Now I'm curious as to what HVY MTL DRMR stands for. XD) (Yeah, I don't know when to stop making characters. It's always so fun! As long as I keep profiles and tabs on them and if everything doesn't happen at once, I'm fine. That's why I like an easy day to day role-play. Gives you time to think.)

Ash sighed "I'd say it's kind of irresponsible to send your kids to someone you just met. I'm not even a full grown adult yet and now I've got to take care of kids as well. I don't mean any offense when I say that but it's a lot to dump on a teenager" he said
(dont worry about talking so much I suck at talking which is why I don't do it that much even online lol) (ooh cant wait to have Masaki meet him also love how you used two villains as examples for his powers lol)
"Definitely a mobster or something along those lines. I wouldn't exactly take any of his praises serious. You're still young and impressionable so he's going to use that to probably keep you under his thumb and mold you into his tool. It's that or I've watched way too many crime shows" Masaki said "But I do believe you can be something more if you put your mind to it."

Lowen nodded sharply in agreement. "Yes! I don't want to be stuck with some wolf I don't know! It's not fair. And look at him now-" Lowen gestured in his father's direction. He was checking Finla's foot, saying some words to Finla with a smile. He stood and lifted her to her feet. "He's so happy. It's like he doesn't even care what's about to happen." --- (Heheh. Yeeaaahh. I'm not the best person with spoken words, but I kind of hope to believe that I can communicate somewhat better with written words. :3) (Yes! The abilities of metal are mostly covered by pre-existing characters, and those two defined very well what I had planned for him. XD I was tempted to throw a Gajeel in there, for eating metal or something. Maybe. We'll see. Interesting thing about those two villains, Precht was once a good guy (too bad he got a little messed up in the end) and Kuvira turned out to be not so bad in the very end, just a quite a bit off-track in reasoning. The Locksman's thought process may be more similar to Kuvira, more set in his ways in what he thinks is right, rather than a power-hungry maniac.)
"Like the tool becoming bettah than the mastah? Then I could be like Boss and everyone would follow me," Pip suggested quietly with a grin. They walked around a corner onto a more quiet street.

Ash thought about what Lowen said for a few moments as he watched Farlow "Maybe he's acting like this so you guys' last memories are ones with him smiling. It's probably killing him inside to have to be ripped away from his family. Hemust have hung around humans for too long because that's a really human thing to do"
(definitely going to be an interesting character to interact with though. Like I said can't wait for Masaki to meet him)
"I mean you could but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd still be going against the law since you'll most likely end up distributing drugs, killing people, and breaking just about every other major law" Masaki said

"What? Leaving us?" Lowen asked. Was it the humans who were taking his father away from him?
"So you told him?" Farlow questioned, walking up to the two of them with Finla at his side. Lowen averted his gaze.
"Told him what, daddy?" Finla questioned looking up in concern. --- (Afterthought: I guess Kuvira may have been power-hungry to an extent too. I don't know. The depth of character is almost never certain. :3 I'll try to stop there so I don't spoil everything. XD)
"Ew. Who'd wanta do that? I'd do the kind o'things I wanna do," Pip retorted, tilting up her chin. "I'd get me some nice clothes, an' I'd get clothes for all o'my friends! We'd take from whom we wanna take and give to whom we wanna give. We'd protect each other's backs and face the world togethah! Not with gross things like drugs." Pip stuck out her tongue at the word. "An' the only people who'll get hurt would be those who get in my way." She looked pointedly at Masaki. Of course, this was all theoretical, but it sounded good to Pip. She was what you would call a 'big dreamer'.

"He didn't say anything at all. I just gathered it all from our conversation. But like I just told your son, it seems like you've spent too much time with humans. It's something a human parent would do" Ash said trying to be as vague as possible so that Finla didn't figure anything out from him. It would be much better if her father told her what was going to happen rather than some stranger she had just met "But am I right?"
(lol don't plan on watching Korra so don't worry about spoiling that plus its been years since it came out)
"Yeah and how are you going to get the money for those clothes? Unless you plan on stealing all of them, you won't be able to afford all of them. Here's the thing if you want to become a mobster, if you have money then you will have people that will follow you but as soon as that money starts to go away, they'll throw you out on your ass at best. The worst thing that will happen is you get a bullet between the eyes but that is usually the case so being part of the mob is no joke" Masaki said

(Chloroform: Oooooohh. I see it now. :3 Nice.) --- "That I'm leaving? Of course. I was going to let you get to know them before asking, but..." Farlow chuckled then and set his hand on Lowen's head. It was a warm gesture, but Lowen looked more annoyed than anything. "You see, I have to go out to the city to make preparations. It just doesn't feel right leaving them on their own. It isn't yet time for them to come to the city." He took in a deep breath. "Would you mind looking after them while I'm gone? I realize you must have a lot on your plate with all this change, and I have nothing to offer you, except to pick up some things for you from the city. But I would greatly appreciate it if you could look after them for me. If you can't? Well. So be it. I'll find another way to keep these two safe."
"You're leaving Daddy?" Finla questioned, eyes wide.
"Yes, I am. But if things work out, I'll be back in a day or two." --- (Ah, so you haven't watched it. XD I just felt kind of bad for calling Precht a maniac and making Kuvira sound all noble. Man, it's crazy how time flies. It feels like only yesterday some of these films came out.)
"Pfft. Well, of course we'ah gonna take the clothes. It's not steeealing, it's circulatin' stock. Besides, I said I'm gonna do whatever I want. An' we will have plenty of moneh. We'll take it from the people with lots. An' if they dare try and throw me out, I'll be the one throwing them out! A bullet in between the eyes, huh? Not if I can do anything about it." She touched her face. "I like my face just the way it is. Nobodeh's gonna change it. Nobodeh!"
(Pip has a habit of arguing for the sake of arguing. XD)

Wait I thought he was dying. Did I get it completely wrong? Did I jump the gun? Thank god I didn't say anything more than what I had. Ash thought to himself. "I mean I don't mind watching them but are you sure you're okay with that? We just met and you're already trusting me to take care of your kids" he said
(I've watched Fairy Tail and Precht did kind of become a power hungry maniac though I can slightly understand why. But Ikr, it feels like just yesterday I was at home watching Teen Titans but it turns out that show is 17 years old. It makes me feel older than I am lol)
Masaki sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "God dammit this is going nowhere" he muttered to himself "Fine you can learn the hard way yourself just don't come crying to me when that dream is crushed into a million little pieces and trust me, it will" he said
(I can see that lol she seems super stubborn also)

"You've proven yourself more trustworthy than you realize. I sense good in you." Farlow smiled slightly at Ash. There was a flicker of danger lingering in his gaze, a warning of what might happen lest Ash betray his trust, but ultimately, his gaze was trusting.
"So we're staying with Ash? Does that mean he's going to be part of the family?" Finla asked with a big grin. --- (Yeah... It's kind of sad really. I liked his character before he changed. Heh. Makes me feel like time is moving faster than I am. XD Ah, such is the race against time.)
Pip stuck her tongue out at Masaki. "Like that would evah happen." She giggled then. This was the most fun she'd had in a long time. "You'ah so serious," she teased, poking him in the side.
(Define stubborn in one word? Pip XD) (Now I'm debating whether I should introduce Masaki to the "Boss" and his organization or to the Locksman first.)

Ash rubbed the back of his head "Well thanks for the vote of confidence" he said before he knelt down to get on Finla's level "Don't know about being part of the family but I'm sure I can be a family friend. If that's okay with the two of you" he said moving his head back and forth between Lowen and Finla
(I loved him in Zero. He really rounded out the cast really well)
Masaki poked her back "And you're so stubborn." he said "But trust me I've got my fun side. I'm only ever serious when I feel like there's a need to be"
(lmao) (I'd say the mercenary and as we go Masaki goes and tries to get information out of some of the more local gangsters his way. It'd draw the Boss out I think)
