"I see."
The figure doesn't say much besides that, though once presented with the question regarding the falcon, he simply gestures to his cloak, which, while appearing to be a normal one at first, has a... noticeably different composition if someone chooses to look closer.
"This cloak is how I performed that. It makes for faster travel, really."
The horned(?) man then blinks, noticing the Kirin in the distance, and appearing mildly curious.
"What an interesting creature."
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.*Beat. Redlight tilts his head, but still seems rather unsurprised for a mortal.*
"Well then. That explains that."
*He glances over at the Kirin, a little confused by why it's suddenly hanging around, waiting for something to happen. He only bothers reacting further once it snorts, and his reaction probably makes no sense to someone who doesn't know what he's talking about.*
"Well. It's no Devastator or Necrosis, so I'm fine with it being here."
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me."I suppose you have had a number of experiences with strange beings here?" the humanoid inquires, his cloak gently billowing in the soft breeze.
"I mean, I am not surprised. Thor and Loki are quite happy to talk about their experiences in this realm. It's not like most of the worlds they visited, and even I decided to take a look."
He chuckles a little, before holding out his hand towards Redlight, a soft smile gracing his alluring features.
"I am Frey, the Norse God of Fertility and Prosperity, among other titles."
He then offers the Kirin a curious glance.
"Can you speak, being?"
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.*Another pause, then Redlight shrugs at the Kirin, clearly not sure what to make of it beyond acknowledging that it's there. Since Frey can actually talk with him, he turns back to face the deity, a one-eyebrow-raised expression of curiosity somehow appearing on his otherwise inexpressive helmet.*
"Huh, okay. I'm Redlight. And, yes, I've seen plenty enough odd things even before I got here."
*At this point, he pulls out a very large cannon-like monstrosity of a gun
, fairly effortlessly holding onto it with both hands.*
"Weirdness practically comes with the job. I've seen a zombie virus somehow infect a communications AI, for one."
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me."That sounds both fascinating and horrifying," Frey remarks a little, appearing a bit too curious for his own good.
"How did that happen?"
Then, he looks at the Kirin, noting how its shaking itself, and letting out a sigh.
"...Do you understand me?"
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.The Kirin rears up, then leaps over Frey's head. Turns out, he just happened to be in its way and it was just stubbornly refusing to go around, hoping he'd move aside.
Once on the other side of Frey, the Kirin keeps walking, off into the distance.
Vague Sylvalum
Some time after the Snatch Man incident, the Mega Legends squad departed from the Arena, and Rush went into standby after turning back into a robo-dog. Rock found himself wandering, and now he's... well, wherever here is.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."*Redlight nods at Frey, his helmet briefly taking on a more grim expression, and his tone of voice shifting slightly darker. He doesn't really seem to like the virus he's speaking of...*
"That, I can agree with. Officially, we're not telling anyone in case they react detrimentally, but off-the-record... well. The virus spread to a bunch of robotic drones with some degree of human organic matter, digitalized itself, and from there, well..."
*He pauses, then is interrupted by the Kirin doing a jump, glancing over at the animal while watching it walk off. There's a moment of silence...*
"Congratulations, whatever you were, for the degree in pointlessness."
*Beat, and back to Frey.*
"Yeah, that's pretty much it. Pretty annoying, too... When that AI turned, so did a lot of military mechs and remote-controlled robots. We still needed those."
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me."...Well, it doesn't seem to have understood me," Frey says in a deadpan tone, before nodding at Redlight, and listening to the details of this virus that digitalised itself.
"I see. So, essentially, a fatal flaw that it managed to exploit, resulting in disaster... unfortunate."
He bows his head afterwards, looking down and letting out a sigh. He seems to have been reminded of something.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Rock glares at Hub. "There's no human life around." He transforms into Mega Man and levels his Buster at Hub.
"I managed to regain contact with my own multiverse's MegaMan.EXE shortly after our prior meeting. I talked to him about you, and we came to the same conclusion."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Deut and Ain are watching pretty intensively, ready to step in should the bad guy win the battle.

A thunderbolt near Frey and company strike the ground, revealing the presence of a large, bearded man with red hair and glowing eyes, he's holding a familiar hammer in his hand.
"BACK AGAIN, YES !"
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterHub slightly glances behind him when he hears Mega Man's voice. He's silent at first, his expression neutral. Then he smiles.
"Have you now?", he asks, sounding amused as he gets up, but doesn't turn around yet.
"I'm not really supposed to fight right now, except if it's in self defense. You'll have to make the first move."
He turns to look at Mega Man, smirking creepily, but not yet donning his battle suit.
"But would you fire at a human being?"
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.*Redlight nods, again. His grip on the heavy cannon has noticeably tightened despite his gloves kind of hiding it...*
"Pretty much. If you ask me, that virus got lucky. I don't know the details about what it did back on Thera, or what they were doing down there that caused it to start up, but it's done a lot more than any virus should do..."
*And then Bolded!Thor's arrival causes him to flinch, unintentionally firing the heavy cannon. A large 65mm mortar shell proceeds to rocket off into the distance some way, exploding violently and utterly shredding some poor part of the terrain. Probably a good thing it wasn't aimed at anyone... Redlight himself turned to glance at the new arrival, then sighs, rolling his eyes behind his helmet.*
"...Hm. Unnecessarily attention-grabbing entrance."
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.Mata Nui is sent flying by the Stranger, but the sword remains in his grip and is thus yanked out at the same time.
He avoids the follow-up and rises to his feet, then looks on in horror at the closing wound. "This immortality... your complete ignorance of the injury indicates to me that it's somehow responsible for your madness. By the Toa code, I must save you from yourself."
Mata Nui lets go of his sword and lunges at the Stranger, trying to get a firm grip on his head.
"According to my programming, you possess no organic function. You were human, but you're a machine now, and that means I can." Mega Man fires a three-round burst of Mega Buster pellets aimed at Hub's chest.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""If there is anything that I have learnt, it's to never leave a loophole. Whether by intention or a stroke of luck, it can be exploited, and that can easily turn the tides—"
Frey barely flinches when Thor makes his presence known. He seems used to that, really, and he glances at Redlight.
"...Best to be careful with that weapon before you kill someone."
Then, he glances at Thor, eyeing the redhead, and a faint smile making itself apparent.
"Thor, huh. Still the warrior and eager fighter, I suppose?"
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.Hub quickly sidesteps the shots, keeping his eyes on Mega Man.
"Well, I didn't exactly choose to become what I am now." , he says, his voice having slightly deepened, and sounding more sinister.
Then he dons his battle suit, changing his right arm into a Mega Buster.
"But I can't really complain."
He retaliates with 5 small, basic blasts, clearly testing the abilities of his opponent.
Assassin Battle: Dark Megaman Exe
He looks at the destruction and glance back at Redlight.
"Your aim was off by several meters !" he chides. "Come ! I shall stand still and allow you a free shot, out of pity !" he boast, tapping his chest with one fist like a true man. He seems more amused than anything by the destruction.
"Yes, it is I ! The god of Thunder and Strength !" he says. "But who are you ? I have no doubt that my reputation spreads across worlds, but I am curious !"
—
"Of course not, he just shrugged off a sword in the abdomen."
"We could do the same though..."
"Yes, and that's why we can get into long fights."
The Stranger leans forward and dodge, before leaping to tackle Mata Nui, attempting to ram him into a building. Should he succeed, he attempts to toss him out of the building and into another, dealing important structural damage to both constructions.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter*At hearing what Bolded!Thor has to say, Redlight just responds with a snort. Possibly derisive, possible one of amusement. Hard to tell. Of course, his next set of words indicate the former...*
"Typical meathead tough guy behavior... I wasn't aiming for you in the first place. No need to do the free shot thing."
*He sighs, then turns to Frey.*
"If only it were that simple. Nobody really expected anything like it to happen, not until Thera was already completely overrun and the infected started ripping people apart in the space station. We responded as fast as we could, but even blowing up the planet and emptying the space station wasn't enough. Still, there's a vaccine. And there's people like me."
The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.Mata Nui gets tackled through the first building, but stands his ground and pushes against the Stranger to avoid being launched into the second. While his palms push, his fingers curl to try and get a grip on any part of the Stranger.
Mega Man cancels out Hub's Buster shots with his own. He jumps backward, making it seem like he's going to use a ranged attack, but then does an aerial Charge Kick, flying foot-first at Hub's head.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

*Redlight pauses, then shrugs at Frey and moves to stand up, dusting off the front of his uniform with both hands.*
"It's broken. Crashed a few months ago, still haven't been able to fix it properly. I'm not sure how it followed me when the terrain... changed... but I'm not complaining. Better to have a broken dropship than no dropship."
*There's a pause as Redlight turns, apparently contemplating the crashed aircraft... Then, he shakes his head, turning back to Frey.*
"So, any reason why you came out of a falcon?"
