Have you ever cut a soul to ribbons?

[There's a new arrival on the Chalice, anyone who was at the beach and had a hankering for Watermelon would have met this man. What's odd about him this time though is that he's wearing what looks to be an armored exoskeleton, with a rather abnormal looking sheath at his side, complete with sword.]

[Oh, and he's also parking a Motorbike at a free spot in the hangar as well. Because fuck you. His bike. Said bike being a 1970s Harley Model - with what looked to be massive amounts of loving attention paid to it.]

(Reference to the bike: Here)

[When he sees you though he offers an amused grin and nod.]

[The next you see of the new arrival is him relaxing in the lounge in plainclothes, sword across his lap and his leg bandaged up. He took a hit in the fight after all. Some of you may have seen him fight with that sword of his. That and unleash that crazy whirlwind at the tidal wave.]

An interesting day eh? I just wish some parts of it could have gone on longer.

[Interestingly the TV is on and he's watching some news about the upcoming Neo-American elections. There were a few things scattered about him... including a scrap of... something with a logo on it. ]

[Surprise, Sam. You're not alone in the lounge.]

You mean that sword-fight, right?

Iunno, the other guy looked like he had the edge there. But with the two of you enjoying yourselves, it was kinda hard to tell.

[Pfft, it almost sounds like she knows what she's talking about.]

[quickdrawlatino]

[He can't help but chuckle at the sight of the odd girl.]

Its not very often you find someone who knows their way around a sword these days.

And he was quite different... I haven't had an oppertunity to fight someone like him.

[Sam rubs his chin contemplatively. Someone like him? Did he mean a man who used two swords at the same time? Or something else completely?]

[alwaysmyturn]

Hey, you were pretty amazing yourself! I don't think it's normal to stay that calm when fighting two giant sea monsters. I'll have to take back what I said about that wizard guy's robot later too...

But anyhow, it wasn't just his style, was it?

[quickdrawlatino]

Oh, the sea monsters were quite interesting.. different from the monsters I'm used to of course. And I don't think you should. Not just yet at the very least, he seems like a person in need of extra pushes to work better.

And no. It wasn't just how he fought. Something about him as a whole felt different. He obviously isn't an ordinary human being, and I didn't see any 'replacements'.

[alwaysmyturn]

I've mopped up my share of monsters and creepy things, but that's something we can agree on. Those three just weren't normal.

[And when Neptune says something isn't normal, yeah...]

Even if I could've transformed, I don't know how much it would've helped. Being able to fly's always good though!

Hey, that's a cool ride! You don't see retro things like that often anymore.

[quickdrawlatino]

I've spent a lot of time with it.

[Sam has a cocky grin, his arm lazily resting on the pommel of his blade as he leaned a little against his bike.]

I suppose you could say... I favor the classics quite a bit.

[space_macgyver]

I can get behind that!

So... are you a cyborg?

{Talk about blunt, Lowe!]

[quickdrawlatino]

A Cyborg? Me?

[He chuckles at that. Then laughs.]

Oh no. Everything under this suit?

[He gestures at himself.]

Natural right down to the last piece. I've fought plenty of cyborgs though. They're very noticable.

[azure_savior]

So I hear that you're good at more than just cutting watermelons.

[quickdrawlatino]

You'd hear correctly. Though if that's the case I'd have to wonder what's wrong with your eyes.

[He gives you a rather mocking smile as he taps the side of his head, close to an eye. Its hard to tell if he was just joking around or if he truly meant to get you riled up.]

[azure_savior]

[Eh, Josh has a decent sense of humor. He ain't even mad.]

So were you just some random stranger happening to be there or something else?

[quickdrawlatino]

I suppose you could say I'm just sharpening my skills...

[He seems to look even more amused for some reason.]

Wandering the Earth, dispensing justice on those who deserve it.

Sound familiar?

Nice bike. Though I prefer bigger ones myself.

Re: 1

[quickdrawlatino]

Is that so? Perhaps we should compare them sometime. Though I have to say size doesn't count for everything.

[whats_a_paladin]

Of course it doesn't. Mine is way too big for a human, for example.

[Raynor points with his thumb over his shoulder at Steed, parked next to the Paragon.]

[quickdrawlatino]

Interesting...

[He seems to be considering the Paragon more than the Steed though...]

You seem to be a man of many talents... but how good are you with your blade I wonder.

Your newest character, I presume??????

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"You!"

Matthew extends a finger to point at you. Is he challenging you?

"That blade of yours is most impressive!"

Indeed. Prepare for dickery

[quickdrawlatino]

[Now that had Sam grinning in a bemused way.]

Come now. A blade is only as good as the man who wields it... but yes. My blade is impressive.... and of course. So am I.

You on the other hand, don't really seem like much to me. Which brings me to wonder if you really know what you're doing if you want to pick a fight with me.

[Well, that's certainly friendly.]

Matthew Defends With Trueborn Bigotry!

[gurrenbrigbonded]

Matthew sneers. "Challenge you to a armed duel? That was hardly my intention, freebirth scum."

He folds his arms. "However, if you insist upon slighting my character and my honor so, then I shall prove to you the strength of the trueborn with every blow I land on you in the Circle of Equals."

[quickdrawlatino]

Unarmed combat then? You'd probably defeat yourself if we fought with swords.

[Ah yes, more mockery. Lets get Matthew even more riled up before the fight.]

[the_innocent_blade]

No I think it was as long as it needed to be.

[quickdrawlatino]

Spoken like a true man of action.

[Totally said in a sarcastic tone there Kurou.]

But still... rather impressive for a man so out of his depth.

[the_innocent_blade]

I'm just a detective for hire.

[For better or worse.]

I'd say you put on a much more impressive show than I did. So what trick were you using to keep up with that Anticross?

[quickdrawlatino]

Years of skill.

[What? That can't be right. It has to be some kind of magic... or technology.]
