Here comes another freak

[masked_bro]

*There's a masked boy wearing a leather uniform who looks in pretty bad shape laying on the sidewalk next to one of the shopping district. He pulls himself up against a lamppost and looks around, visibly confused

*Medic raises an eyebrow and carefully approaches the boy*

...Are you alright? Do you require assistance?

[masked_bro]

*He notices Medic closing in. He seems to mean no harm, but he doesn't drop his guard. He would raise his hand-canon as a precaution, but it takes whatever little strength he has left to hold himself against the lamppost*

Y-yeah... That'd be appreciated, citizen.

[dummkopf_fest]

*Medic is hesitant to heal him at first, finding himself quite interested in the boy based on physical appearances alone.*

Vhat happened? *He finally raises his medigun and trains it on Claus*

[masked_bro]

H-hey! What are you...? *He doesn't know how, but somehow his strange beam makes most of the pain go away and gives him part of his strength back, he doesn't seem to be able to use his canon or his wings, though*

...What is this technology? It doesn't seem like a thing the Pigmasks could come up with.

It's a long story, really. Where are we? Is this... the afterlife?

[dummkopf_fest]

You vill be fine, kind. Zhis is called a medigun...I can heal minor injuries vith it.

*he sighs*

Zhis place is called...Fagbox.

[masked_bro]

Well thank you, citizen. No, doctor.

A what-box now? Is it where you go when you... pass away?

[dummkopf_fest]

Doctor, Medic, vhichever is fine.

*he sets his medigun aside for now and starts to look over Claus, quite intrigued*

No, it is not. I haff no idea vhat zhis place actually is.

[masked_bro]

Doctor it is, then!

...I see. I guess that means she isn't here...

*He notices Medic checking him out and knows exactly that look.*

I bet you're wondering why I have wings and a a canon instead of a hand, right?

[dummkopf_fest]

Who is not here?

*Oh, he's not done looking him over, but thankfully Medic is keeping his hands to himself for the moment.*

Ja, I am, actually. I haff never zeen anyzhing like it.

[masked_bro]

Oh, I'm talking about my mom, she passed away a few years ago... I figured I'd see her again if I died, but looks like my time hasn't come yet...

*He's actually a bit amused by Medic's curiosity*

Yeah, I'm sort of one of a kind, if you will. I wasn't always like this, though, it's because of King P that I ended up like that...

[dummkopf_fest]

*Medic doesn't seem terribly interested in what he was just told and tilts his head slightly.*

Oh, you vere not? Vould you mind terribly if I gave you a more thorough examination?

[masked_bro]

Nope. I used to be a normal boy before the pigmasks took my body.

And sure, go ahead, I'm not sure if my body's fully functionnal, so I might as well get it checked by someone who isn't an old manchild bent on world destruction. Do you have an office or something, though? It'd be a bit weird if we did it in plain sight like that...

[dummkopf_fest]

Hm...

*Medic chuckles*

I zuppose you are right, kind. Come vith me. I have...somezhing resembling a practical office here.

[masked_bro]

Alright then, show me the way.

...By the way, do you happen to know if there's a competent mechanic around here? It'd be a bit easier to completely fix me up that way.

[dummkopf_fest]

Hm...Zhe Engineer might be able to help you, ja.

*He leads Claus to a fairly legit-looking medical office.*

You haff yet to tell me your name, kind.

[masked_bro]

Oh, good then. Because I'll probably need a few new... parts.

And my name's Claus.
