Narrator Voice: I think the broken English works really well for the robot, so don't worry about it and make the best.

Captain Max shakes your robotic hand and seems to think nothing more of what was said.

Ferret doesn't shake, instead gives you a little two finger salute and says;

"No ideas, but then I ain't the detective. You are."

Tempest stares for a moment at the new arrival, then nods and says "Hello, uh, Detective Zero?" As you move to join the group and everyone does their introductions, you may notice that Tempest seems particularly fascinated by you (at least until the next arrival).
"Indeed" He nods "Is There a Problem?" he asks with a smile (Yup, his face got smooth parts :p) offering an hand
Tempest hastens to shake your hand, saying "No, no problem, sorry! I'm pleased to meet you."

(Hey boss!Sure I failed my roll but Zero got a photographic memory, and Tempest a public Id. Now that they are 'nose to nose' , is it possible that Zero identify the hero thanks to the press clipping stored in his memory? If you allow me that trick, then we can consider that the following role-play is valid)

"Tempest, I presume? The pleasure is mine"
"As a matter of fact I can't hide what I am. But so do you. So I always wondered if your public identity was accidental, or intentional."
"Nice hat." says Front-Runner.
"An old friend of mine said that nowadays some ladies weres still falling for the Sam Spade style."
He grins, gazing at the speedster with his eyes without pupils.

"It was accidental. The events that gave me these abilities were witnessed by a number of people and led right into my first battle, which nearly destroyed the laboratory we were in. News crews were there before it was over, and then there were the explanations to the police about my god-father's crimes. I never really had a choice about revealing my identity, so I can't say for sure what I would have done."

Narrator Voice: I will give Wasabi until Sunday to join us, if not by then, we move forward and add him in when he is ready. He has communicated to me that he is swamped at work right now but hopes to be freer soonish.

(At least we can continue the chatter^^)'

After offering an handshake to Front-Runner he asks to tempest
"Do you regret it? The fact that your Identity is known? I mean, you lost any chance to 'take a break' in your heroic life.To get a peacefull civil life again just for a few hours...Going to the movie theater or in a bar wihout everyone starring at you..."

"I usually don't mind, actually. I've only been in the public eye a few months and it's still exciting. Some of the so-called reporters at the Star are starting to get on my nerves, but the day-to-day stuff..."

He shrugs with a smile, as he finishes, "And if I collect a few stares from the ladies, so much the better!"

He grows a little more serious as he adds, "It must be different for you, though. You're unique. It's more than just being a celebrity, what you experience."

"Except our captain that is the only one they trust and respect, the star spared no one. It can't be helped. I don't know why they hate our kind, no matter the good that we can do.
They continue to call me a thing, a freak. They said my place was in a junk room...
But , to answer your question, I'd say that, on the contrary, notoriety brought me peace.
At first, people feared me. I'm a machine, I know how I look...But now, my neighbourhood consider me as one of their own. That respect, that friendship...it's priceless."

A sudden gust of wind blows into the garage, stirring up the dust and garbage, sending shivers over any unprotected flesh as the cold air from above is drawn into the area.

With a sudden "whoosh!" of expelled air, a stack of stones appears in the maelstrom of dust and then the wind dies away just as quickly as it started. The stones slide together, forming a (roughly) human figure that glances about the room, surveying the scene.

The indentions on the stone that serve as his face stop when he sees The Ferret perched atop the rail; "Please sir, come off that rail. One slip and your cranium could suffer severe trauma if it comes in contact with the concrete below!" He moves forward with his rocky hand outstretched as if to give the man a hand down.

The Ferret smiles warily of the big stone hand and says "It's okay man, this is what I do."

Captain Max ganders around and mutters "Did it just get cold in here?"

The sound of a car approaching can be heard clearly by everyone.

Tempest's reply to Zero is interrupted by the arrival of the rock man, which causes his eyes to bug out a bit. His surprise turns to a grin as the Ferret gets chided and offered a helping hand for sitting on a rail... :)

The sound of the car draws his attention, as he wonders who or what could possibly show up next...

The Elemental grudgingly withdraws his "hand" and turns to survey the group, his rocky face betraying no emotion...until he spots Zero and his metal skin. His head leans to the side as though in contemplation.

In a voice that almost sounds sad, he speaks to Agent Zero, "Were you summoned here as well?"

At the sound of the approaching vehicle, The Elemental turns and walks to the edge of the gathering, placing himself between the approaching car and the others, each step a tremendous rocky crash as he summons more stone into his form (activating Density 1).

(I wanted to wait for other players before posting but since you speak to me^^.I must roll first)
[bash="Identify the Elemental"]4 = 1816666835 = Fixed[/bash]
(Wow! That roll was ridiculously low! I barely succeded!)
He grins, trying to hide his surprise.
"That's ironic, Tempest and I were talking about uniqueness. You're quite an enigma Elemental. Nice to meet you. Do we know each other? I'm detective Zero ,also a crime-fighter."
His smiles vanishes as he takes some steps toward the approaching car.
"I may be mistaken but, you seem... rather sadden by our meeting..." He asks courteously to The Elemental.
