There was never a better day than one where you got free food. This however was not one of those days. "God ******!" HVY MTL DRMR growled as he got bashed on the side of the head by what felt like a baseball bat. "That hurt you stupid little *****!" He turned around and saw a rather bulky looking man that certainly wasn't good at dressing. "Those clothes do not compliment your eyes." He replied in a disgusted voice. "Let me help with that." And then a purple goo slid from his right shirt sleeve and into his hand,forming a revolver looking thing. "Don't hit a guy on the streets." He spat before pulling the trigger.
He squatted down next to the body,the goo sliding back to it's original place. "Ah yes,Reggy Shay. For such a notorious guy,you sure did die easy."

(I'm at another class, so I'm going to have to post later tonight. In the meantime could I get a quick recap so I know what I'm throwing Alex in to?)

"Looks like you've been busy," a voice spoke from behind HVY MTL DRMR. A man stood there with his arms crossed, smirking as he stared at him. He wore a black and red jacket and had a spiralling tattoo on the side of his face. This was Ringo. He'd been checking out the surrounding area when this whole incident caught his eye, or rather- ear, for it was the gunshot that drew him near.
(Might settle with orange. Red and blue freaks my eyes out.) ---- (Sour Candy: Okay. I'll try to explain things in greater detail. So. When Pip first met Alex, she wanted nothing to do with him when she figured out he was a hero. That was because of her past (and her present). She was born about five years ago and was born way too premature. She was too small and was going to die. Her parents spent a lot of money to find someone who could save her (They were pretty rich). So, a doctor/scientist guy shows up and using a bit of her blood, produces a cure! Her development completes and she lives. But in the span of one year, not only is she already five years old, but she is still small (about mouse sized). Time goes on, and Pip finds herself with abilities (growing and shrinking things). Her parents however, were concerned and sent her back to the scientist so he could find out what was wrong. The scientist was fascinated. So Pip was held at his lab for a long time, and she wanted to go home. But she wasn't allowed to. They made her do things she didn't want to do, and she couldn't do anything about it because she was small. Over time she became frustrated and grew very big, destroying the lab and much of the block in her escape. The police and many heroes were trying to find her that day. So she fled the country and moved here. For the last two years since moving, she's been stealing for a living. Masaki comes across her, and sees good in her. But unbeknownst to either of them, a bounty hunter has come across the seas to hunt her down.) (Perhaps Alex could have stumbled upon information on Pip after their meeting, or maybe all of this will be new to him, I don't know. Newspapers would typically be about a Miracle Child who become a monster and wreaked havoc upon the city. Masaki and Pip are currently going to a steakhouse for a bite and likely won't meet The Locksman for a bit. Depending on which side Alex would choose, all sorts of things could happen.)

"Maybe some day but not today obviously and maybe not in a year. I'm not ready yet but maybe it would be better if they just thought I was dead. I'm sure if I did go back though all it would do is hurt them in the end" Ash said with a sigh as he looked down at the ground "I don't want them to think I failed them plus I have no idea if the people who took me are still looking for me. What if, by going to them, I put them in danger? If something happened to them, I wouldn't be able to live with myself"
Masaki chuckled "I guess so" he said as he jogged across the street before turning down another block. "The steakhouse shouldn't be too much further ahead. Maybe a 15-20 minute walk from here. We could always stop somewhere closer though if you're that hungry"

HVY MTL DRMR's eyes glanced in the newcomer's direction but his head didn't move. "You sir,should learn to have a more approachable demeanor. Everything about you is telling me you don't want to be noticed but at the same time you long for attention. Like a lost cat,knocking things down." A smirk formed on his face and he blinked. "But that isn't you now is it?" He stood up and finally turned to face the man. "So what is it exactly that makes you think you can approach me?" ~"Now you're probably wondering why my responses are like Jerome's. Well that's because of a plot thing I'm not at liberty to give out. Cheers!"~ Stay down. He growled inwardly as he felt the goo starting to rile up.

( Light I feel like Alex's response would be conflicted. I imagine what's left of his sense of humanity is clashing with his new programming, making it hard for him to pick a side. I do think for now he'd at least be trying to gather information or something)

"Hm... You've put a lot of thought into this." Farlow's tone was approving, but he still looked thoughtful. "I suppose then, the most direct path to deal with the problem would be to find its source. The people who did this to you. Such people should be stopped before messing further with nature. It could upset the balance, resulting in something catastrophic." He wasn't saying exactly that Ash should be the one to do it, but the option was out there. He closed his eyes. "Either way, you have a long path before you." --- "Aftah braggin' about how good it is, ya wanna go somewhere else?! No. I'm gonna have this Eyerib Steak!" Pip replied resolutely. Sounded like there was no longer any swaying her. --- Ringo chuckled. "I don't know, I can be many things." Somewhere down the street, something crashed to the ground and a cat meowed from the protruding ledge of a window. Ringo smirked at his own sense of humour. "What makes me think I can approach you, hm? Well if you put it that way, why shouldn't I?" He took a step closer, as if daring the other to do something about it. --- (Sour Candy: Hm... That's fair. :3 Well, it's up to you where or when you want to jump in. I'm personally fine with anything. ^^)

"Because it's an invasion of privacy." He replied,taking careful note of the man taking a step forward. He blinked once more,this time the left iris let off a faint red light. "You don't seem like the kind of guy to go around fighting random people." He inferred,his silvery skin glinting in the light. "You step as if you can back up your threats. But alas,threats aren't a thing that bother me." Suddenly he let out a whistle and the goo shot from his shirt collar into the air and landed in his outstretched arms,forming a large hammer of some sort. "You had best be thankful you caught me when my pocket wants to be a prick." He set the hammer down on it's head and rested his arm on it. "So tell me,are your threats going to take form or can I walk away without breaking your nose?"

Ash gritted his teeth "You don't think this is catastrophic enough?" he growled as he showed Farlow his arm "They turned an ordinary guy into a damn monster for who knows what purpose. They were most likely going to use it for the military or some crap like that. I want to tear down the place they locked me up in brick by ******* brick until it collapses with all those damned scientists inside but I know if I even got near that place, I'd either get captured again or I would just get killed"
Masaki laughed again "It's ribeye steak but I'm just making sure. We could always stop and get some burgers. There's this one restaurant around that sells one-third pound burgers with brisket, rib meat, a jalapeno cheddar sausage, bacon, and cheese covered in barbecue sauce" he said "I couldn't even finish the whole thing when I had it"

(Hi guys! I have no idea what's going on in the RP right now; TLDR. If anyone is free, however... I can toss Karma in. Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Life has just been really busy, ya know? I'm more active in roleplays that are PM'd, since there's less to keep up with, so anyone is welcome to RP with me that way when I'm not here. I'm currently in two like that and get several replies out every day.)

"Privacy? Ha! What is ever private in this world? Someone or something always knows." Instead of walking directly towards the guy, he moved to one side, stopping with his shoulder about three feet away from the other guy's shoulder. "Whoever said I was threatening you? Now what would I gain from that?" He glanced over at the thing with metallic looking skin. He eyed the goo-made hammer with intrigue. --- (Sour Candy: Oooh. A birthday? I hope you had fun! ^^) --- Farlow sighed. "I'm not saying what they did to you wasn't bad. I'm saying they could stumble across something far worse." He opened his eyes. "Such is the way with the difficult path. Not everything can be overcome by a direct approach. Sometimes it takes more than one to accomplish something." He looked somewhat strained as he spoke, but it wasn't about what he was saying. --- A little bit of saliva slipped out of the corner of Pip's mouth, but she quickly sucked it in. "Can I have one o' those too?" The unswayable girl was being swayed. --- (Hey Artemis! All I have left are some gangsters who have kidnapped Rosie. XD I can give you a bit of backstory if you like. Actually, I think Shadow was wanting to roleplay with you a while back. So you could get ahold of her if you like.)

"I'm sure they've been trying harder than ever to make something close to me especially after seeing me get shot through multiple vital areas including the brain and surviving. It hurts me to think of any other unfortunate person that is kidnapped to that facility and what they are being put through." Ash said "Sounds like you're talking from experience though"
"Not today. I can't take you to a restaurant everyday three times a day, you know. Even if I got some money saved away, I'm not stupid enough to blow it all in a few years" Masaki said with a smile "So it's one or the other for now. But how about this, I promise that we will have the other next time"

(I'll try to be on when I can, but you know how that goes. The best way to RP with me lately is through PM, so I don't have to keep up with so many things going on, or read a bunch of pages or long posts. Light: I'm curious about Rosie though. You can give me a summary when you're back. :3 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨: I'd also LOVE to continue Worlds Collide. Gamer and I both had a bunch of stuff we still wanted to do there.)

HVY MTL DRMR smiled. "Getting a measure of me." He replied simply. "A subtle but clearly noticeable dare to do something can be considered a threat. And right now,I don't intend on getting involved in whatever circus you're a part of. So just keep on walking."

Farlow leaned against a tree and nodded solemnly. If his children were to be truly safe in this world, something would have to be done about such people. "I've seen many strange things over the years. They might not be quite the same as this, but I've seen humans treat other humans like they treat animals. Sometimes worse. It changes a person. It creates fear. It creates anger. In the end, such people always end up going down, but it's all a matter of when. Sometimes they'll be in power for a long time... And I have to say, some of the events that have come to pass, I've partook in the resistance. One person can start it, but it's never one person who finishes it." He let out a long breath and closed his eyes again. "How far away is it?" --- Pip giggled, a grin on her face, even as she attempted to mimic displeasure. Her eyes widened slightly at the last comment. "So ya really are gonna stick around?" --- (Artemis: I could fill you in on PM if you like. :3 I won't be back for a little while though.) --- "Why, how observant." Ringo turned to fully face him and lifted his hands. "Hey, I get it. You work alone. Really, I was wondering more about you," he extended one hand. "Guy out in the middle of this part of the city, dead guy at your feet. Weapon made of goo, metallic skin. You're quite the curious work of art." He smiled a little then. "And you remind me a little of someone." --- (Hello Shadow! I will be back in a few hours. Look forwards to seeing what happens then. :3)

What in the? His face held a look of confusion,shock,and lost-ment at the newcomer's face. "Might I pick your brain for a second?" He asked,though he didn't wait for a reply. "The word you used- Art? Was it?- what provokes that kind of word? There must be more...more fitting adjectives to be placed on me." Honestly,the nerve!

Alex trudged down the street, head hung low and hands in his pockets. Instead of his usual trench coat and mask, he wore a light gray hoodie and black sweatpants with running shoes and gloves to hide his hands. During his absence, he had decided it would be best not to draw attention to himself by running around with his augmentations exposed, and wore casual clothes unless he was doing something specific. In the meantime, he had began to ponder the meaning for his creation. Why couldn't he remember anything before his activation? Who created him into what he was now, and for what purpose? He shook his head to clear the sea of thoughts flowing through his head. This was too much for him right now. "Maybe I should just grab a bite to eat, think things over..." he muttered to himself. He set a course to a nearby steakhouse that seemed good, using his eye augmentations to overlay an augmented reality pathway to follow on the sidewalk.

"Sometimes I feel like the horrible people outweigh the good. Must have some rotten luck if all I do is run into rotten humans. I'd say scientists are worse than these hunters around here. At least they will give up if they are afraid of their life. Scientists will just keep pushing and pushing until there is no turning back and then just push some more" Ash said "I'd say they are about 2,000 miles west of here. Me and my family used to live in Oregon. I found out after my escape that the facility is in the Los Angeles area. Only know that because of the cop cars that had that printed on them. I do still remember where exactly they are located if I ever did go back there"
"Well as long as you will have me. If you don't want me around then I won't bother you as long as you aren't doing anything too illegal." Masaki said

Ringo's smile grew in its creepy sort of way. "Is not everything art in it's own right? If not art, what is it that you would rather me call you?" --- "Yeah..." Farlow sounded slightly breathless. "If I get the chance on one of my trips, I'll check the place out. This first outing should only take a day or two. I'll leave tonight." His form began to steam slightly. --- "No no... I like havin' someone around," Pip said with a smile and a blush. "Besides, if I'm not allowed to steal anymo', I gotta have a new protectah." She absentmindedly hugged a thatch of Masaki's hair, as her blush grew. --- (Ooh. So Alex still needs to eat for energy? :3)

(Yup. While having most of his vital organs replaced with mechanically enhanced counterparts, he still needs to have a bite to eat from time to time. Plus it adds a comforting feeling of humanity)
Alex's thoughts continued to haunt him as he walked. He wasn't even sure if he could consider himself remotely human anymore, with all the parts of him that had been replaced. He knew that in addition to his prosthetic arms and legs his heart had been replaced with an artificial one, as he saw during a self-scan he had performed. From the schematics he had seen, it seemed to mimic the shape of a real heart, but was made from metal and plastics, along with several devices to enhance stamina and adrenaline output. While he could still feel his pulse when he put his fingers to his neck, he never once felt his heart beat in his chest. Just a barely noticeable vibrating sensation once in a blue moon. He shivered slightly.

"How about,gone from thought? I whisper in the back of your mind? Your car keys? The TV remote?" HVY MTL DRMR smirked and blinked once more. "Actually now that I think about it,just don't call me anything at all. Names tend to mean you're attached to something;makes you more likely to remember them."

"You should at least say goodbye to your kids before you go. Just make sure you come back safe since alright?" Ash said with a small smile "And don't worry about the facility too much. I don't want you sticking your neck out only for you to get caught"
Masaki smiled "Great that means we're friends now" he said as he turned down another street "But are you really going to give up stealing just like that?"

(Sour Candy: Ooh. That's pretty cool. So he doesn't have to eat as much as the average human, but he still must eat. He sounds like a very interesting character. I look forwards to getting to know him better. Also, PS: Pip is currently mouse-sized in Lioncl's hair.) --- "Such a peculiar character you are," Ringo said with a chuckle. "So. Why'd you do it?" he asked, walking around until he stood in front of the body.

Alex stopped in front of the steakhouse. He took a deep breath before exhaling slowly. He hoped the place wasn't too crowded; the less people there are around him, the less likely he'd get noticed. He decided to stand outside for a bit, to wait for his nerves to calm and to occasionally peek through a window to see how busy the restaurant was.

"I will." Farlow smiled slightly at his second comment. "Ah, don't worry about little old me," he chuckled before vanishing back to ferret form. The tired looking ferret shook itself and laid itself down. Finla and Lowen were just approaching them when the conversation finished. Finla was a ferret and Lowen was in his bipedal form. Lowen looked concerned upon seeing his father. Finla scampered up to her father and touched noses. They exchanged some chitters. Sitting down near him, she returned to human form. The masked little girl pulled her father onto her lap and began stroking him. Lowen hovered over them, looking somewhat disturbed. --- "Friends..?" Pip blushed further, and felt a great warm feeling within. "Depends if I need to or not," she mused.
