"Considering the hits you took, I doubt you are completely human. But what greatness is there to having such a short, meaningless life filled with physical needs such as eating and sleeping?"

Jack rubbed his eyes, feeling the day's weight upon his shoulders. "regardless, we'll need to wait for daylight to do 20 qs with the elder and Shara. Once we got that done, we'll be able to figure out a better plan. Until then, I suggest we all get to know each other better like how Private Perdon here has experience as a demolitionist." Jack nodded appreciatively to Perdon. "That said, I think I'm gonna catch a few zs. See all of y'all later." with that, Honest Jack slumped down next to his bike, slid his hat over his eyes, and pretended to be dead to the world until later.
OOC thats it for me tonight. see you guys tomorrow.

"I am extremely human! One could not get as human as me! Nothing is supernatural about me, anybody can get my iron skin, and strength through years of training! It has all to do with the balancing of chi, focus, and a life time of devotion. And what is point in living if you are not going to die? All achievements are pointless, any man could move mountain if they had thousands of year to move it. Not many could move mountain in, but one life time."
Shennanigans happened, causing a new arrival to be dropped in to the world. Quite literally.
Some ways outside of the fishing village, there was a small flash of light in the sky, after which something fell out, what it might be impossible to see to those who happened to look in the direction, due to the darkness if the night. When the object hit the ground some twenty seconds after their sky-borne arrival, a dull thud might be heard to those living at the edge of the village, or those with above-average hearing. After this, silence.

Looking around, you note that the white-haired man isn't really doing anything. You walk up behind him and nudge him in the arm with your hook. [color=0066cc]"If you're just standing around, I could use your help. I've got a load of fish down by the shore, and I figure you guys will need food in the morning."[/color]
Once you get down to the beach, you head over to your boat. In it, there was a net filled with an assortment of fish. Discarding the boat hook, you first attach your hooked arm to one corner of the net and grab the other corner with your hand. With this done, you ask Robin to do the same on the other corners.
Robin grabbed the corners, making a mental note to himself to wash his cloak later in case any fishguts got on it.
[color=0066cc]"On the count of three."[/color], you say, preparing yourself. [color=0066cc]"One, two, three!"[/color] With the last word, you lift the ten kg heavy net, thankful that you don't have to carry it alone. With a sideways nod, you begin to move towards the stairs.
Going up the stairs was hard work, but it was work you were used to. Having somebody else to help actually made it much easier, something you were much grateful for. From time to time, you offer encouragements to Robin to keep him going.
OoC: Sorry for the delay, the Escapist wasn't working on my end.

Robin smiled as Shara encouraged him, thankful for it. "I presume you usually do this alone. Impressive."
Reaching the top, and then the square, you say; [color=0066cc]"We'll see about that. But for now, we can put it down here."[/color] Lowering your end, you disentangle your hook and stretch your back. You thank him for his aid, and then ask him; [color=0066cc]"By the way, what's your name?"[/color]
Homer, not feeling tired and always eager to help, slung his rifle over his shoulder and walked over to Shara and Robin. "Need any help?" he asked with a quiet smile.
"I'm Robin. You?" Robin turned to face Homer as he approached. "If you're offering help, we'll take it."
