@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN - You insult Shiro. He may be stupid, but when it comes to tech he knows a surprising amount.

@harinezumikouken

Does he have the equivalent of 50+ years of study in bionics and/or medicine? No? Then stay the fuck out of my body!

@Lugubrious - What, a 30-year-old woman can't be adorable?
Spoiler: They can be. And Sombra is. And I want her to hack me. And do things. -Fuck is this game called again? Overwaifu? Kek.

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN - So, what you're saying is...
Oswald's willing to be Shiro's test dummy for any new weapons/gear he forges?

@NarayanK - And what you're saying is...Sangue doesn't skip leg day?
How much does she squat? Mmph.

@harinezumikouken

For weapons and stuff, sure.

He ain't taking off limbs for anything less than an Atlesian expert.

Oswald is willing to volunteer for experimentation!

Just not from Gren....

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Nobody conquers Sapphire!

Except, apparently, the water.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Team RGTS/STRG, because I made them.

Cobalt, cuz I wanna pork him.

Sapphire, because Gren will conquer her!

2/3 of these are actually serious. In completely unrelated news,

@Lucius Cypher

You stay the fuck away from my waifu!

Tryna take cobalt from me...bitch.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Luke so supportive.

Oswald's reaction would be something like "If...you want, we could go back to Mistral one of these days and knock some heads around..."

Oswald Connoly- Infirmary

Oswald watched in a mixture of shock, resignation and a little bit of pity as Diamond rolled up her sleeve, exposing her arm to the others. He'd never seen anything like that in his life, but Oswald couldn't find it in himself to even remotely care about this previously unknown-to-him phenomenon. That was his teammate's arm, covered in the unfortunate side effects of an ill-advised surgery and a trip directly into the face of hell.

Diamond....was disfigured. Sure, the others were hurt, but Diamond was right: their injuries would heal. Even Cobalt's concussion would likely cause few long-term side effects, thanks to both modern medicine and his Aura. Diamond, though...even with the small consolation that her abilities had a higher ceiling before becoming dangerous again, Diamond would face the reminder of what happened every time she looked at her arm.

Oswald deflated when he fully processed what had happened. Nobody got out of there unscathed, huh... He wanted to scream. He wanted to get off his bed and toss it through the wall, to walk off into the Emerald Forest with his gear and spent hours killing everything that crossed his path. Anger flared to the front of his mind yet again, before it transformed into something even more dangerous: bloodthirsty rage.

He had to find out who the hell attacked them. He needed to find out where they trained, who else they worked with, and how the hell one of them managed to turn themselves into a monster capable of such destruction and chaos.

And he had to destroy them.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Well, considering that Yang survived both a fall at terminal velocity and being punched through a concrete pillar, I'm gonna say Aura is probably the better shield.

Also, if it isn't, that means that Gren is nigh-unkillable, since Oswald managed to halfway survive getting shot by a 30mm autocannon.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@Abillioncats - I wonder how overconfident she'd be if she heard buzzsaws/chainsaws....

@harinezumikouken

BAD HARI GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM!

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Oswald's weakness is that he's actually a really bad fighter. Probably Cardin-level, actually. He's just build like a bear.
