"Hardrock Hallelujah? I like it." The man smiled, opening the warehouse door for Melody. "Welcome home, Hardrock Hallelujah." The rotten wooden door opened to a large warehouse floor with several crates stacked on high to block something. Stepping around the crates, she came to what appeared to be a small community of homeless, who all stared back at her. "Family Members, I would like to introduce you to our newest sister, Hardrock Hallelujah. From Nevada." At the mention of Nevada, most of the people grouped began to whisper.<br/><br/>"The stories were true..." One voice hushed.<br/><br/>"A Necromancer... in the Village..." Another came.<br/><br/>"And one so young." A third chimed. The man turned to Melody and took her by the shoulders.<br/><br/>"Hardrock Hallelujah, I would like to officially welcome you to the Village of Villains. Surely you've heard of us."<br/><br/>"Just what the press says. And it's nothing nice."<br/><br/>"The press is like every other coporation in this world, Hardrock. Corrupt and easily manipulable. One must simply mention money to them, and they come flocking like bugs to a zapper." He wrapped one arm around her shoulder and started walking her towards a group of people. "I would like to introduce you to a few Villagers who will help you during your stay. This..." He put his free hand on a gruff, older man's shoulder. "Is Lockjaw, our resident metallurgist. His specialty is all types of steel." The man smiled, his teeth comprised of a type of metal which shined a deep crimson.<br/><br/>"Pleasure." He grunted. The man released Lockjaw and motioned to a woman beside him.<br/><br/>"And this, is System Shock, our electronics expert. She is a master of electricity, and can get you in anywhere." System Shock bowed and smiled. "And finally..." He motioned to a man dressed in a silver and gold harliquinn print suit, a bow and a quiver of arrows strapped to his back. "We have Xenolord, our marksman, and a bit of a free radical." Xenolord snapped to a salute.<br/><br/>"Please, Hardrock Hallelujah, make yourself comfortable in our humble abode. Our full stock of anything you might need is available to you. Simply see Lockjaw, System Shock, or Xenolord for help. I would love to stay and chat, but I have things I must attend to. Au revoir." He bowed and disappeared, teleporting away.
