"Not a human, not anymore
My name is alpha, what is yours?"
It was an obvious alias to the man before the figure, nobody named their child alpha
the figure looked at you, but it was an odd sort of stare, the naïve stare of curiosity that younger kids had
English

[i]Great. Kids. Just what he was used to. Kinda awkward to deal with them when you were the kinda guy to be offing people and working with the less-than-savvy.[/i] They call me Sidewinder. [i]was all the man said, not giving his own name either. Never seemed to work out well when one did that.[/i]
-
"Im gonna call you side" he said matter-of-factly, and looked down at you from his perch "what brings you here?"
-
Yeah let's not. [i]he said, correcting the boy-creature-thing.[/i] I'm here for a couple of reasons.
-
"well [i]Side[/i], what would those reasons be?"
-
They're not open for discussion, let's put it that way, kid. [i]he said quite calmly.[/i]
-
"Kid? who ya calling kid?" he said, feigning offense
-
Well, legally, if you ain't at least 18, you're a kid where I come from. I didn't make the rules. [i]he said with a shrug.[/i]
-
"Don't care, don't call me that again" He said, icily polite
-
Then don't call me Side. [i]he mocked.[/i]
-
"You ain't my dad, I'll call you whatever the hell I like" he said, getting up to stand on his perch
-
You always this much of a do*che to people? [i]he asked, leaning against a tree outside.[/i]
-
"you always this stubborn?"
-
Depends on how the person I'm talking to treats me. You act polite, I act polite. You act like a sh*t, I respond in turn. Fair nuff?
-
"nah" he said, his voice laced with childish defiance
-
Aight kid. So what's the deal with this place? Better question is,who runs it? [i]he said, seeming less than interested in the antics of children.[/i]
-
"Lieutenants, its run by them, I dunno them all but you'll probably know them when you see them this place is for everyone, train, research, fight, and all that jazz"
-
That's... interesting... So basically just a nice big hub for killers, thugs, the "honorable" guys, warriors, with a lot of gear and weapons? They do contracts, you know, the kinda stuff the Feds put out?
-
"Feds? bud, uh, you know what? I'll let you figure that out for yourself"
-
Look I'm pretty sure most people know what a Federation is, I'm pretty sure they can figure out what a Federal Government is, and I'm pretty sure most people know that governments use contract killers and have connections all over the place. [i]he replied.[/i]
