"...oh," Robo dragged out the word in realization. Okay, so maybe he wasn't blind. If he had eyebrows, he'd be scrunching them. "Um, sorry. Atomic Robo Tesla, but just call me Robo. What should I call you, Diablo?" Alright, so not his best attempt at humor, but...

The young man frowned slightly at the robot's realization, feeling a bit thankful that he had managed to fool him for now. "Alright, Robo," he answered in a humorless tone, shifting his body weight to his other leg. He recognized the name Tesla. Was he somehow involved in that company? "And you call me whatever you want. I really don't care." He paused again, giving the robot in front of him some sort of hostile look. Matt most definitely wasn't comfortable, and he wanted more information. "This is my city," he began, "So, what exactly are you doing here?"

"Look, I don't want to start the whole 'you tell me' thing again, so I'll just tell you straight up- I have no idea," Robo admitted. "Long story short, there was a this thing that exists outside the universe which I still don't really understand, then I got sucked up in some kind of wormhole and suddenly I'm here. I don't really know. What the heck are YOU doing here, anyway?" He added pointedly, gesturing at the Devil. "You look like you jumped straight out of a comic book," he joked, remembering the many times people had said that to him.
(Stats, since you made me think about it- he's 5' 3" and 500 lbs)

(Kool)
The young man listened to Robo's story with a doubtful expression, just because it seemed so impossible, and almost silly. "Alright," he finally said, drawing the word out, "And I actually live here. This costume thing was actually a gift to me, since I kept getting stabbed in my old clothes." He was about to let the conversation grow cold again, but a cool breeze blew through the warehouse and borough that almost unearthly scent he smelled earlier back to his nostrils. Smelling that got Matt thinking again. "Wait--was this thing you're describing kind of.. Blobby? And it just appeared real quick and was gone like that?" He asked, snapping his fingers for effect. He didn't have any colors to reference; all he knew was that it was bright to him.

"You could say that." Robo shrugged, but kept thinking. That description was very vague. He was beginning to wonder..."It's more like a giant, pulsating mass of tentacles, eyes and teeth, but yeah, you could say that." He paused, and decided to really test his theory. "What color was the thing you saw?"

(oop Robo's a smart boi)
"Yeah, of course," Matt quickly answered, trying to cover himself. "And, ah.." He tried his best to look calm and composed on the outside, but he was really panicking internally. The young man had no idea what to say, since colors were something of the past to him. If word was going to get out on the streets that he was blind, people like those thugs he stopped wouldn't respect him. He would lose credibility, and right now, that was all he had. "It was red," he finally answered, and then followed it up with a hostile, "Why do you ask?"

(oop yep he is)
Ah yes, triumph. This man was, if not blind, very close, or at least colorblind. "Oh you know," Robo responded smoothly, trying to keep his voice from sounding too smug. "Just to make sure what you 'saw'-" he made sure to put air quotes around this, "-really was the same thing. But apparently not, because this thing's blue."

The robot's snide remark stoked Matt's deadly New York temper, and he grit his teeth in irritation. He wanted to shut the thing up, beat it senseless, but fortunately, he was still thinking clearly and decided against it. After all, he didn't know quite what Robo could do, and right off the bat, Matt could tell he outweighed him by at least double his weight. "Whatever," he quietly mumbled, straightening his posture. His ego has definitely taken a blow from that comment. "I bet it's the same thing, though. Was this thing you're describing kind of bright too? As in hard to really look at?"
(And who's this Ian kid?)

(Ian is my best friend! I had to let him in lol)
"I dunno, are you blind?" Robo asked straight out. He could tell this guy was irritated with him, and he was pushing his luck asking, but he just had to know. He crossed his arms defiantly and stared the red guy down, leering at him with his emotionless eyes.

(Ah. Didn't know, my bad c: )
That was the push over the edge for Matt. Lifting his head, he strode right over to the robot until he was standing only inches away from him. "You need to watch yourself, Robo" he quietly told him, pushing him back with both arms. "You don't know anything about me, or what I do." His temper turned him into one of those strangely but terrifyingly quiet types of individuals, and he felt it got his words across better. As he did this, he did his best to look the robot directly in the eyes, which, from what he could tell, he was spot on.
