Haine, the albino man was passing through. He was clearly finding other places to explore, it was his own little tour. He saw a girl when he stepped through some of the patches of grass. The cold weather didn't bother him and neither did the gloomy sky above him.

The man watched the girl as she used some kind of interesting ability to slice that scarecrow. She was probably not your average human girl, at that same time he kept his distance away from the female.

Haine just clapped, at least he had something to entertain himself with.

Alice turned. The man she saw was certainly one of different breed, to say the least. She was sure she might have seen his kind before, but who could be sure? Certainly there was a familiar look to him that she couldn't quite place. Still, she wasn't one to pry into that sort of thing unless she had proper permission. One of those general rules about new people was being polite about who you were, and certainly it went both ways.

"The trick is the flick of the wrist," Alice said, staring at the next dummy. "This kind of weapon is easy to throw, but not as easy to get your mark. This," She indicated her Vorpal blade, gain, at its usual place, hidden on her right leg in the boot, "On the other hand, has a steadier weight. So..."

She grabbed the blade raising it high, and threw it in a perfect arc, hitting the dummy square in its "chest."

Haine was amused as he watched her carefully. His eyes strayed to the sharp blade as she threw it like a dart towards the dummy. "I like closed range. You can have a closer look at your target's death." He had shed a lot of blood and he didn't really care if any one else cares.

He took out his white Mauser pistol. The ends of the gun was connected by a chain and he aimed it at the dummy, he aimed it at the base of where it stood. Bang, Bang, Bang. "Then again, long range is pretty effective. Sorry about your target."

[darker_alice]

Alice smiled. So. There was another who liked blood lust. Not that Alice had a problem with that: she rather liked the look of death on her opponents too. "For that sort of thing, I've always preferred a blunt instrument. With a firearm, its over to quickly. Of course, I've only really had one firearm, and I save it for my worst enemies

The girl was a good shot that was for sure Dick noted watching the Human girl throw a playing card through the Dummy's neck. Only one other person he'd met had ever been able to throw a thin object so deadly, though unlike the girl before him the man had used a form of kinetic energy instead of pure deadly skill. A smirk tickled at his cheeks as he stepped closer, after the incidents with Tomo and Joker he'd lost most wariness with those in the compound who's alligence was Questionable--better to just meet them head on and with a calm demenor unless they were out for blood

Alice watched the boy. He was a right state, for sure, and the scar was unmistakable: she would be bold if she made the accusation, but her sense of people was probably right. She had, after all, had a rapport with that type of person. However, whoever this person was, he must have a skill himself, to say such a thing.

"I'm a bit out of practice," Alice said, "Regaining the skill again. I've only had practice with thew heavier weapons sadly. Still, I'm getting it back. I should be my old self again in a little while. That scar, if you don't mind me asking: that isn't the mark by a chap called 'The Joker,' is it?"

[0nightwing0]

" You'll get it back with time..I did" Dick replied slipping two Stylized shuriken out of his glove and between his middle and index fingers. With a Slight flick of his wrist they were embedded in what was left of the dummy's neck and where the heart would lye in a normal human. " Though I usually go for less fatal regions"

" Joker? Yes it is" He had nothing to hide anylonger about his identity, neither did Tim. Their Costumes were but for protection and served a symbol presence here more than a double identity. " Why do you ask?"

[darker_alice]

Alice nodded. "I suppose such fatal regions won't be necessary, even when the time comes. Hopefully, it won't have to be anyone human I use these weapons on, but you can rarely give them the benefit of the doubt these days."

Alice raised an eyebrow, but looked otherwise unsurprised. "Well, I spoke with him for a little while. He seemed to be very bent on causing chaos in this compound. Of course, having made my opinions known, I don't mind a little chaos these days. Not that I would do anything like that, of course. My amusement does not come in such a bizarre fashion. I kill, but when deserved, and I don't play with my toys."

To show what she meant, Alice took out the ice blade, ran over to another dummy in the distance and touched it for several seconds. It immediately turned to ice, and Alice calmly kicked its head off. "See. Quick and done. And again, no one human if I can help it."

Intrigued by the content of the impassioned speech that had popped up on her PDA earlier, Faye decided to investigate. She wanted to see this person for herself. Obviously they wanted to do something; Faye wanted to know what they could do.

Arriving in the empty lot, she found that the only person there was girl about her own age. Faye watched curiously as the girl grabbed a deck of cards. She raised her eyebrows in surprise when the girl flung them at a dummy, neatly beheading it at twenty-five feet.

"Impressive," she commented, leaning against the side of the adjacent building.

[darker_alice]

Alice looked up. It was a young woman, well traveled by the looks, and certainly much healthier looking in comparison, if one cared of such things. Alice hadn't the chance to meet her yet, so she supposed that she was new. She looked curious, that was for sure.

"Thank you kindly," Alice said. "It's been awhile since I had these at my disposal. Besides, it wouldn't do for me to write my little speech without backing it up, would it?"

She properly met the woman. "Alice. Charmed."

[lady_bounty]

Faye smirked. "Indeed it wouldn't," she replied. "So that was you. I admit you caught my interest. I'm always happy to meet like-minded people."

She nodded, shoving her gloved hands into the pockets of her gray woolen coat. "I'm Faye. Likewise."

[darker_alice]

Alice nodded. "It was. It isn't that I'm against people having a happy time or two when they can get it, you know, but what happened recently has been a bit ignored, don't you think? It isn't something that should be forgotten so easily. I certainly haven't. I like the idea of escaping, of course, but being me, I also like the idea of properly beating the species that made me think I died."

Alice smiled. "Cold, are you? I suppose I should properly be, where I not in those ice caves and used to England's rainy weather."
