"I recently encountered an unsavory individual who seemed to be taking a particular interest in eliminating this Kirby fellow. I don't know his whereabouts or if he has any other targets, but it is possible he is in league with the knight you fended off, and they may team up against Kirby... or against you. As a fellow wielder of lightning, I felt you should know this."

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""Wait... I remember such a man. My friend Neuff and I actually fought alongside him against the aforementioned monster. If he's in league with that knight and whoever his employer might be, I'll need to let her know about this. Again, thank you for this information. Farewell."
With that, Thor proceeds to fly away.
And I'm off.
He finishes his Hetap, and tosses the can over his shoulder.
"I'm Oca. We met that one time
in the city over there."
He points in the general direction of New Los Angeles.
/\。。/\"Oh, uh… bit of a tale."
"My species is able to grow in power when recovering from near death… and a starting from a month ago or so, I appear to have been the first of my kind to realize that that function be abused mercilessly."
"So… you can kinda guess where these scratches came from."
In short, self mutilation.
/\。。/\"Aw, come on. We have magic healing potions and shit. Besides, infections are bad and all, but I'd rather risk an infected wound which could be treated by a Shaman or something than not have the power necessary to take on a nasty megamutant."
"And if I end up offing myself… eh, that'd suck. But I'm sure I could fight my way back. Eventually. Though I'd have to be pretty subtle to avoid pissing off any of the gods or getting nommed by daemons."
/\。。/\"I mean, it depends on how close to death I come, but yeah, every wound increases power at least a little."
"Oh yeah, um, where I come from, there is a literal hole in the fabric of space and time connecting us to Hell. I mean, it's pretty well hidden, but it's still there."
"You from any worlds I know of? Or would you be the first native of this place to be encountered?"
/\。。/\Natalia flashes a grin, as a swarm of bubbles erupts from her body, floating around her. She motions towards Oca, and they all shoot towards him. Should they hit, he will find that they are not popping, and are instead ramming into him like a herd of tiny and angry rhinos. AKA, they will hurt.
Something something Arena.

"Bonjam."
Zan Partizanne descends, her adopted sisters nowhere in sight, having moved into an apartment in New LA. "Assassins? I... might know of another one. Have you met a yellow puffball of the Kirby species?"
