The Character Tavern

Burns,

I snort, "You think it's 'cause of her gun. No, I just don't want to be bothered by anyone. So bug off."

Knowing full well that I'm getting venomous looks from everyone else in the tavern, I order another beer.

Charlie

"Awww! Has your girlfr..." I pause. "Boyfriend broken up with you?"

"Do you ever shut up?!" Burns is getting angry now.

He grabs the beer that he just ordered and takes a long sip.

"And anyway," I smile. "If you think your gun is cool, wait until you see my water pistol."

Jonathon-
*entering* "No, I did not break up with him."

Burns,

The newcomer is really asking for it.

"I don't even KNOW you," I snap. He just smirks.

Charlie

"Oooo! Touchy!" I laugh.

Burns narrows his eyes at me. This guy clearly doesn't have a sense of humour. I have to admit, This is fun.

"My name is Charlie, I'm sixteen years old. I like long walks on sandy beaches and dancing under the moonlight. I am not a hermaphrodite, although, it would be pretty darn cool if I was one." I pause. "There you go. Now you know me."

Burns,

"Yeah, and that's a relief," I mutter. Then I sigh. I just can't be rid of this guy.

"Fine, then. I'm Burns. I'm a genetically engineered superhuman who can reverse mutations in all organisms. In cas you can't tell, I'm blind. But I'll still shoot you, if I need to."

Charlie

Superhuman. Pfft. Overrated. I have a rat that lives in my room called Peter. I bet he doesn't.

"Okay Mr. Superhumanmutationorgasmdude, at which point will you need to shoot me?" I smile at him. "Oh, and by the way, you've got a strand of hair that keeps, like, flickin' up."

Natalie-
This Burns guy is a piece of work.
"You think it's 'cause of her gun. No, I just don't want to be bothered by anyone. So bug off." He said.
"You honestly think I wanted to be bothered in the first place? I came in here, alone mind you, and ordered a martini minding my own flipping business. I didn't need your help!" I roared. This guy was about to get punched in the face. I sipped my martini, waiting for a comeback.
Burns went on and on about his super-human B.S to another shady looking character.
"...In case you can't tell, I'm blind. But I'll still shoot you, if I need to."
"You wanna know something? I'm not blind, but I'll still shoot you. Even if I don't need to!" I pointed my gun between his eyes.

Burns,

I snort, pulling out my gun with lightning speed and pressing the barrel into her neck.

"If you shoot me," I whisper, "You will die, too."

Natalie-
The cold metal pressed into my neck, sending goosebumps down my spine.
"Trust me, you'd be doing me a favor." I whispered back.

Francesca

"Bravo! Bravo! That's the best drama i had ever seen and to think that it's live!"

they looked at me with startled and angry faces.

"Hi, how are you guys doing?"

Charlie

Wow. What a load of freaks.

Jonathon-
"You're not the only superhuman here. I can control mutations in all organisms. So, you're not that special."

Charlie

"Jesus Christ..." I say, shaking my head. "Is there anyone here that isn't a bloomin' superhuman?!"

**Paige**

"I'm no superhuman. I'm just a poor excuse of a solider," I said, tapping my nails on the wooden bar. "Oh lord, Regan will kill me."
