[Hello Riverview, you're going to be greeted by the friendliest face you'll ever see on the network this morning. A pale, stylized skull mask and a voice that belongs to some edgy supervillian from some futuristic videogame or something. Dressed in all black and yes--he does seem to be leaking black smoke when he speaks. It's normal, probably.]

Far from home, in a place you don't recognise. Seems like a dream, or at least some sort of really bad joke, doesn't it.

[His tone is calm, dry--almost sarcastic in nature.]

It's not. And you're going to have to get used to it. It's nice here too, isn't it? What with all the flowers and the festivities. [Yeah, definitely sarcastic.] Hoping that's enough to keep those of you who might get bored on your toes.

There's shit normal people don't need to see outside the walls of this Quarantine. So do me a favour, and don't be stupid in going to investigate what lies out there on your own because you seek adventure.
Because if you seek that alone, you also seek Death.

Name's Reaper. Not interested in making friends, but for those of you who are capable, I'm interested in looking for people. People who are capable of working in groups to pull some of the harder jobs that involve getting your hands and weapons dirty--and people who are capable of following orders.

Not a stranger of pulling idiots out of a fire, but I'm not a goddamn babysitter, either.

[Friendly, isn't he.]

[ Clark knows better than to judge something as harmless on observation alone. Appearances can be deceiving. Look at Clark Kent. Nobody would think he was an alien being with godlike powers. ]

I've seen those. They've stayed far enough from the perimeter.

[ Now he knows how far into the forest Reaper can go. ]

if you need extra muscle, I'm available. I warn you, I'm not a soldier.

[ He's not going to see things the way Reaper does because of that alone. Clark will listen but if he sees no reason to, he won't. ]

[He would likely call bullshit if someone were to suggest Kal-el was anything more than just a guy with good form and some skills. He's still getting used to things that are more supernatural than him, man.]

For now. Never know when one might get the idea to try to get past the wall for a lark.

[There's that paranoia again. 30 years of war does that to a man.]

You don't have to be a soldier to be useful in a fight. So long as you can handle yourself and understand tactics, that's all that matters to me.

I've worked with less capable-looking people than you. Besides.

If you've 'seen' the monsters I'm talking about and got out, it means you either know how to handle yourself, or you run fast. [Lol]

[signifies]

I doubt that.

[ He doesn't trust people very much but they're not often stupid. ]

Actually, I fly.

[ That was probably obvious from how he got to the balcony. There's no fire escape to climb up. ]

[hellshot]

[....Ha, so there it is.

He tips his head up to look at him.]

I've met a number of supernatural people here, and in the place I was before here. Flight, teleportation, the ability to jump stories high...

You know, shit like that doesn't exist where I'm from. [He almost sounds... curious, and maybe a little bitter.]

Flight is a good enough asset as it is. I'll be appreciative to have you along on my excursion.

I'm an alien.

[ He's not supernatural. Clark decides not to add which planet he's from. "Alien" seems good enough for this guy.

He won't go into not being used to this either. ]

When you're going, shout for me. I'll hear you.

[hellshot]

[...An alien. Right. Being out in space, a bunch of crazy monsters that could be considered aliens too--he'd almost forgotten that some Aliens come in the shape of humans, too.

It's certainly good enough, even if he seems to consider Kal-el from under that carbon fiber mask.]

Makes me wonder exactly how good your hearing is for something like that.

[signifies]

Pretty good.

[ Clark smiles showing he's teasing.

Truthfully, he's never thought about it beyond "I hear everything". ]
